This is one of the better power ranks I've seen in a while (not including the one when Sea[shield] was #1).

Probably the only 2 criticisms i have are:

-Flash deserves to be higher ranked than Jaedong (Flash is in both major leagues whereas Jaedong is in only 1 of them)

-I dunno why Midas is in. I'm a fan of his and I'm happy he's in the power rank. It's just i dunno why hes in

I mean if you look at his games in TLPD, he's 1-2 for the month July This is of course putting aside the fact that he's in one of the major leagues.

offline prelim games aren't included in the TLPD. watch those games, despite koala upsetting him, he played really really well

i dont like how forgg just shot up to first but im really glad that you gave the nod to leta, midas and iris
im a huge fan of all these players and although leta seems to be put too high, im glad you recognized him
leta has blossomed into an extremely reliable player that can be trusted with important games

I agree with almost everything, except for Leta over BeSt, but I especially agree w/ #9

Fakesteve and I like the same players w-t-f!! :b

The only player I would question on the PP is Kal. He hasn't been that impressive in a while.

<3 Berserker! Now if only more CJ players can step it up. PR is nicely done I think, especially with Forgg and Leta.

besides congratulating you for the awesome writeup fakesteve, i wanna ask you what is your opinion on frozean? cause to me he seems only capable of bringing up some huge upsets and losing to some of the lamest players around.

Please ban

Anyways, Flash and July should change places in my opinion, stomping Best isnt a easy feat to accomplish. Plus Flash has been playing like he's stoned recently. Leta does not deserve such a high spot on the PR, simply because his wins were in the proleague wheras Best and Lux achieved sucesses in the individual leagues. As for the bottom of the PR, I don't care about it since there are a myriad of players who can be placed there.

I kinda feel like Best should be #6 and Leta #7. Leta has been impressive yes, but only in the proleague, whereas Best has been impressive in both the proleague and the OSL, and alright in the previous OSL. Best may have not had the greatest end-of-month stats, but Leta only had good end-of-month stats, and while the latter probably means Leta will be doing well in the future, I don't think it necessarily means Best will be doing poorly in the coming future, On the other hand, Leta did beat Best during this overlapping time period of Leta rising and Best falling. Best is seeded into the OSL, and Leta will mostly likely rape his group and advance from the MSL ro36, and from there it'll be apparent who is stronger most likely. Meh the more I type this the more I see it is such a grey zone with it being a close call, so I guess this is fine.

Midas/Iris is kind of weird, but then again I can't think of someone to replace them, so they're fine I guess.

JULY FIGHTING!~

cool power rank. I'm glad to see that July can still kill it, because I was beginning to think that once players got into a slump, they were never the same.

Dazed.

Kal doesn't deserve his spot. After his defeat from non-pro (T)

BByong, he should be put away from power rank.

WCG is a nothing tournament, and dropping a game due to over confidence is completely forgivable, even more so considering we know his true pvt capabilities, ala his matches against leta and forgg.

Seeing Iris play well recently has been pretty sweet, given that the rest of CJ Entus isn't doing too hot at the moment.

It's kinda funny how quickly fOrGG climbed the PR and KeSPA rankings after he suddenly decided to do something useful with his 100000000 units. Hopefully he keeps this performance up into both upcoming leagues.
