Also - If at any point in time, Kal becomes #1 on the Power Rank, the entry will include a tribute to Day[9], because he is calling it.

WE'LL SEE, DAY NINE. WE'LL SEE.

fun fact: in the 16 months of power rank, there have only been 3 different number 1 players, none of them being terran.

i wonder if flash is gonna be just another win for jaedong or not. Jaedong 21-2 in his last 23 games... almost like killing iccup D-newbes
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

I think Best deserves a mention too, he's been steadily improving and posting solid results.

I know Stork not making the MSL was a while ago, but there's still a bad aftertaste seeing him ranked #2. Then again, when I think the power rank through, your judgement seems correct.

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.

Wow, it's been a LOOOOONG time since (Z)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 (P)Bisu undisputed #1 with no reason to suspect he would be out of the top spot, replaced by a Zerg no less, and with (Z)sAviOr holding pretty close. Now he's falling quickly and (Z)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.

I agree with all of the placements, except I'd switch Bisu with Luxury and Much with Mind. I don't think Bisu should suddenly drop 5 ranks just from one bad month, because like you said consistency is rewarded. Mind is pretty solid... but still not outstanding IMO. We'll see how far they go this season.

Upmagic is going to rape Jangbi with his pants on.

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.

<SOME SPOILERS THROUGH REFERENCES TO VERY RECENT GAMES>

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.
Brood War is alive and well.

Solid Power Rank, I agree with everyone on it. Kal surprised me for a second until I remembered I worked out my guesses for it at the start of the month before Sea's horrible choking fit in both leagues.

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!

God damn. This Power Rank is PERFECT!
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.

I agree with everything except Mind. I really like where you put Much, Flash, and Kal. I hope they play up to their potential this month. I will also keep a close eye on Nada too.

Bye Savior .
