Close But No Cigar:
Sea - Oh, Sea. Sea made both leagues and then bowed out of them unspectacularily. I can't, in all good sense, leave Sea on the Power Rank when he's been showing utterly mundane and uninspired play over the last month. Sea will need to get his shit in gear in a big way before he can make the Power Rank again.
Savior - This pained me almost as much as removing Sea. Savior made both leagues this season, but then lost every single game he could on his way to elimination. Savior's spark is seemingly lost forever, and he isn't making the Power Rank until he gets it back.
UpMagic - It came down to UpMagic, Anytime, and Light for the final two spots. The only reason Up isn't there is because both Light and Anytime have been slightly more impressive. UpMagic has a tough road in his MSL, facing SHITTY-ASS TERRIBLE JERK Jangbi, and then Kal, on heavily protoss-favored maps. We'll see what he can do, and maybe he'll return!

I made nice predictions ^^ Very similar to what i expected, maybe i would have put Much #3 instead of Mind, but i haven't really followed Mind so it may be better in this way.
The only one i didn't expect was anytime, but it's true, his lost was ridiculous, but he is still doing better that other to take that spot.
I'd like to see bisu back kicking asses at the top of the rank, but since it's him or uncletoss... you can die bisu, MUCH for the next OSL winner (i hope!)
|
I like the top 3! And Lux #6! :D
|
Thanks for putting up the new power rank. Lol at the hatred towards JangBi, but I can join the bandwagon there. FUCK YOU JANGBI (for no apparent reason, though) :D
|
Aha, poor Jangbi  In this whole power rank there are very few players that I actually like. If only an oldschool player could climb back to the top.
|
I hated Jangbi before it was cool.
Nice PR, FS.
Man, poor Flash.... up against Jaedong TWICE.. Harsh.
|
ummmm nicee.. thank you for your hardd workk. A bit sad that savior is out but i agree with you there, sAviOr has been playing like crapp lately..
|
i woulda put kal higher and bisu to maybe 5th but that's about it.

LOOK AT THAT FLOWER IN YOUR HAIR
WHATS THAT IN YOUR HAND JANGBI? A CARRYING CASE FOR YOUR "SHITTY PROTOSS UNITED" MEMBERSHIP CARD???
|
Eh... Stork also didn't qualify for the next MSL either. And he didn't have a semifinals match like Light or Kal. Granted he got 5 pooled twice. :>
Also, I'd put Upmagic (and I'm not a fan of him by any means) ahead of Light or Anytime. He's been more steady than either of them, and even though he has to face Jangbi and Kal (if he gets past Jangbi), I'd consider him a favorite over Jangbi and a minor underdog against Kal given the maps.

What about Best? He hasnt played that many games in january, but he beat Much in proleague early january and did well in OSL beating both Sea and Saviour. And Jaedong with abit of luck. He seems promising atleast. Guess he isnt ready for powerrank until he has proven himself more.

nice job, I think only the last spot is disputable (why Light? I was hoping for Nada since Xellos took the spot the last time) nice to see bisu and kal side by side but i hope to see them doing so on the top of the charts in the near future. damn this Bo5 match between jaedong and bisu should happen soon... and #2 - stork ? DaezanG - the guy is on fire :D

Light got the spot because he had it last month and his performance is comparable to several other players. Players that had a spot in the previous month get priority amongst the lower ranks, because consistancy should be rewarded as well.

Wow, it's been a LOOOOONG time since  sAviOr hasn't placed, but I agree with your reasoning: he has been terrible.
It's funny how fast things change: 3-4 months ago and it was  Bisu undisputed #1 with no reason to suspect he would be out of the top spot, replaced by a Zerg no less, and with sAviOr holding pretty close. Now he's falling quickly and sAviOr is out.
Things change too quickly, sometimes.
ty for the powerank btw, always a good read

Nice PR. Agree on most things.
Let's hope Much can prove what he's made of.
|
HAHA i cant believe FS put kal on the powerrank, i will never forget the proleague match debut of kal against sea. i was just as mad as you FS... but i'm glad to sea wasn't crushed by a secondrate toss. kal is really proving himself, and his semi's with light was innovative, exciting, and filled with WTF moments.
i would have put upmagic instead anytime tho... he HAS been frikin solid, and he plays like champion. o well, i like this powerrank, propz for the intelligent work.
