I think we should all dispute why Sea should be in the power rank, just so it'll pain Fakesteve having to argue why he isn't. | ||

Power rank began in the middle of the domination of Savior. It has continued through the domination of Bisu. Now it's Jaedong's time, and when the maps become a little bit better for terran next season, you might get your Terran #1 soon. There's been plenty of #2 Terrans during that time, and some of them only #2 by a hair of difference in "power" or "force" as koreans call it. #2's almost as good as #1 so I wouldn't complain too much about not having a terran up there somewhere. | ||

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 Yup, I totally agree. Though I suppose change is a good thing- having one player dominate for too long gets boring. | ||

This is going to be just brutal. Jangbi can go cry in the "sucky protoss" corner afterward. Anyway, I expect Up in the next PR (actually, I would have replaced Light with him). Also, why isn't Best on CBNC? He has looked really good recently. | ||

i have never disagreed with a pr as much as i do this month. all you had to go on in placing stork in the second spot was his 3-0 in the osl group. sure, that's nice, but the opponents weren't who knows what, and 2nd place should mean a little more. people keep repeating how godly his pvt and pvp are, as if that would somehow make up for how much he sucks at pvz. two days ago, and i think that was before this edition of the pr came out, he failed to qualify even for survivor's, losing again to a zerg. this means we won't be seeing stork in the msl for quite a while; he's about as far from it as zeus. what this guy is doing in the no2 spot is a mystery to me. on to the next point, much continues to be overrated in the tl.net pr. i think this is the third month of that happening. i'm not saying he isn't good, but he's "good" in a way which people tend to call "solid", not "revolutionary". based on recent games, you could replace anytime, kal and much for one another in any ranking. even if you want to give him 4th, why would you pick him over kal? last: bisu. this month he didn't lose more games to zerg, or in a worse fashion than stork did one month ago, and at that time stork got 3rd place, with protests from a lot of tl.netters that he didn't get bisu's spot. he managed to keep qualify for the next round of the osl, albeit only after giving heart attacks to a few of his hardcore fans. so, bisu is in ro8 in the osl, and qualified for the next survivor's. stork is in ro8 in the osl and about as far away from the msl as the general public. i guess we just have higher expections of bisu than just him winning. we want to see him crush his opponent into oblivion, otherwise he drops five ranks. | ||

 I disagree a bit with some of the order though. I particularly think Mind is too high. Yes he hasn't done anything to deserve falling, but Flash and Much especially seem to me to be playing more complete games and should be above him. I'd put Flash possibly as high as 2 because of Stork crashing out of the MSL offline prelims and Mind no higher than 5, maybe as low as 7. Looking forward to Bisu showing us his "slump" was just a run of bad luck and cheese this month and moving back up in the next PR! | ||

I started scrolling up from 10-th to 1-st and was shocked to see Bisu at 7'th. Hey its a legitimate spot i guess. Stork 2'nd, Flash 5'th, Sea out. Great stuff. Jaedong should be higher though. | ||
