I'm curious to know what you think about FBH and by.fantasy FS? Do you think they could warrant a CBNC? | ||

Fantasy is another player I really like. I was confident he'd win his MST group, and he did. I was confident he'd win his OSL Round 1 group, and he did. However, while the ability to play at the level Fantasy plays at is to be commended, the ability to play like that through a major league is another beast altogether. Fantasy rules ass, in my mind he's one of the best Terrans around. We'll have to see where he goes in MSL/OSL. Or perhaps he'll find himself at the bottom of September's PR, depending on what the list I'm satisfied with is. | ||

Champion material? Not even, but he could probbaly make it to RO38 of any starleague. Problem is, he's probably too weathered to make a huge difference in his play now. I agree about Fantasy, what a badass. And Leta too, holy fuck. I'd be shocked if he wasn't in the top 4 next PR tbh. | ||

Flash was stomed in GSL and WCG and Luxury just got eliminated from an SL by a no name toss. Who can take it, Leta? Much? he is hot in only 1 match up and isn't even on the PR. Forgg is a definite second. Well that no-name toss is Tempest)Is( and he has been a pro for a long time. And did you even watch that game? Tempest is no bad player. | ||

If you have been a pro for one year and have only played 5 televized games you are a no name in my eyes when you come up against someone like Luxury. The point of the post was that Luxury is in no contention for a top spot. Luxury was a heavy favourite against tempest and lossing to him and being eliminated from an SL is going to knock Luxury into a lower spot. So even if tempest played really well, it doesn't change the fact that Lux is going to get dropped in the rankings. | ||

That same noname toss you are talking about 2-0'd July out of the MSL in the offline qualifiers, and July is arguablly top 3 ZvP with Luxury and Jaedong joining him.If anything this means Tempest is one player to look out for and its not Luxury's weakness. | ||

I generally would agree, and Tempest certainly didn't play bad. But Luxury made several mistakes, most notably canceling his lair. Plain and simple, Luxury didn't play like the 5th best player in the world, neither in that game, or in the losers match. Failing to play your best when needed the most generally lead to demotion on the PR. | ||

And fear not, Much fans. I see a return in the future  | ||

Yes, Sea will be on the power rank. He destroyed basically everyone he played, and looked great doing it. | ||

Lost quite a few as of recent memory. | ||

He's already hinted at Jangbi making an appearance. There's no reason Kal would drop significantly. | ||
