I don't see what Luxury has done to put himself over Stork who is still playing very well.
Ok sure Jaedong was taken out of the OSL, but most the games he lost were cheese builds on shitty maps for zerg. Splitting the games evenly doesn't seem like grounds to overthrow Jaedong so easily. Jaedong's skill in long games vs Flash and Mind impressed me way more than any other games/players.
Stork isn't playing well AT ALL. He's proxying and carrier rushing in 90% of his games and he doesn't even look good while he does it. Like I said, he looked a little better in his series vs Flash, but he still got his shit pounded in on heavily protoss-favoured maps.
Oh, and Flash gets the top spot over Jaedong because two of his wins are a build that Jaedong couldn't respond to, his metal build on Katrina. That is the only instance of either player making a large mistake in their recent games, if you ignore both of their retarded cheeses in GSI

Didn't look good doing it? Did you completely skip the iris games? Stork's proxies looked damned solid in those games, as opposed as to some play of desperation. It was just straight up awesomeness. Also game 3 against Flash was pretty damn solid, didn't see any carriers there.

We had savior / bisu period now jeadong / flash who will be in the next ?
|
Luxury will be the next player to claim the nr 1 spot from Flash. You heard it here first!
(Yes, I'm a total Luxury fanboy)
|
flash will revolutionate this game, he is 15 but still as smart as boxer. i'm looking forward to the next seasons with the best starcraft-feeling ive ever had.
|
I usually agree 100% with de PR, but I would have made this one a little different
- I wouldn't put Flash above Jaedong, not till Flash wins a Starleague
- I would change Stork with Luxury
- Sea in 10 and Jangbi out is ridiculous. RIDICULOUS!!
The others are fine
|
ince PR, but maybe Kal is placed unnecessary high, I mean yes, he has succeeded in MSL but his opponent hasn't been the hardest ones.

Jaedong is still unstoppable ? You can only guess ! He got out from the GSI and OSL in the Ro8 and you can only speculate what would happen if he didnt face Flash in the both tournaments- besides Stork managed it to the final of GSI and in the semi of OSL and I dont give a shit who were his opponents , if you wanna be champion you have to beat everyone not losing in the Ro8, so Jaedong's is a bit overrated with his #2 spot, cause what-if and speculations doesnt prove he is the best.

Thank you so much Fakesteve for not putting Jangbi at rank 10.
Nice power rank. I'm surprised Lux made it all the way to #3 though...

Luxury has been looking great in all matchups lately, definitely playing a more complete game than Stork overall
How is Luxury playing a more complete game than Stork? I haven't really seen decent late-game management from him yet. He seems to muta harass against every terran, and speedling early on against every protoss, and if these fail, he has trouble beating strong opponents.
|
flash is the best because he is thinking for himself, he is a new era alone.
jd is just good with mutas (zvz and zvt... we all know his zvp sux). he will never be as big as savior.
|
Pretty much agree with everything, although I would say:
Stork over Luxury - Luxury is still a bit unproven, while Stork has faced top tier competition, and did pretty well.
Mind over Kal - the same reason.

Warning! Jaedong hater detected. Heavily biased post polluting the thread.
From the way you type I srsly doubt you even watched a single match of Jaedong.

well i dont expect you to change anything for what I say here, so a defensive response from u is pretty irrelivant and not needed.
But from what I see, this list doesn't make any sense. You put Luxury above Stork because Luxury has "looked" more dominant then Stork? First off that doesn't make alot of sense since generally Luxury has won his matches in OSL and so has Stork. Stork is a more accomplished player and not to mention Stork made it to the GSI Finals where he lost to your new #1 Flash 2-3. You can't fault a guy for going cars on Katrina etc... because that is how the map is supposed to be played. It's like saying Luxury has been playing like all the rest of the shitty Zergs by starting Muta first. Would you be more impressed if Stork went quick 3-4 base / macro with Arbiters and get completely smashed by any top 40 Terran because believe it or not, Ground vs Ground on Katrina = 99% win for Terran. It's just how the map was designed and you can't fault Stork for using a unit in the game which is the correct unit to use on a map which requires it PvT. Blue Storm is much the same but you don't need cars as quickly.
Next thing I would like to say is... how is Kal up there? Kal over Bisu??? Bisu the 2 time MSL Champion and Finalist of the last MSL? Bisu who made it out of his GSI Groups and made it to the OSL Semi-Final and happened to loose to your #1 Flash? The people Bisu looses to are fucken top tier players. In February he goes 9-6 and the 6 losses were 1 game to Sea, 3 games to Flash and 2 games to IriS. His wins are against XellOs, July, Much, type-b[s.g], Midas, Light, Much again, GGPlay and Flash. Kal on the other hand goes 6-3 in February playing only 2 people. 3-1 vs Light and 3-2 vs Jangbi. You even say Kal had an easy MSL yet you put him above Bisu because..... why? Because he made it to a MSL Final playing no 1 on your Power Ranking except Anytime in a game where he lost? Anywho... he is in a MSL Final... I sure don't think Bisu has ever done something like that... so what am I talking about.

This is a monthly based power rank, not career based. Kal deserves his spot while Bisu is lucky he didn't drop even more.
I must agree on the Stork/Luxury argument though. Especially if you watch Stork vs Flash on Blue Storm. The middle to end game execution of that game was pure skill, no carriers here.
|
As much as I like Lux more than Stork, I'm gonna have to agree with G5 on this.
But my prediction is that Kal will not disappoint. I think he will make an epic series against Jaedong, one that matches Reach vs. Chojja.
And Much, wtf happened man?
|
Wow, not what I was expecting. And man how savior has fallen.

yes I did, you know, why dont you just take a look of his unstoppable performance in the last 10 games... jaedong is 5/5 ! and for that he is number 2 in the PR ! I dont hate him, I'm just saying that Stork, even thou didnt play spectacular has better results then the legend killer this month. If jaedong lose his match against kal he will have in his hands nothing else than shit, but he can still save his season, i hope he will

yaaaaay flash number 1 :D. He is my hope for terran. Humans prevail! Justice and hope and culture and all that shebang that only humans do properly :D. Well, some of us :D. Yes its only a video game but whatever :D good ol' flash!
I always felt like he was in danger of losing most of his games, which actually is much cooler than jaedong who tbh still makes me feel like he is a steamroller that just needs to be turned on. Flash seems to have more humanity to his playstyle. He gets into trouble and then comes out with miraculous saves and I don't think anyone can argue that his games are boring :O!
I really want to see flash go on the rampage :D because I just wish there could be a terran at the top after savior and bisu :'(.
