How can you defend yourself on grounds that "Best is the best protoss player in the world" and separating this concept completely from statistics.
That is completely biased.
Stork has played amazing, much more amazing than Best in the last month in more meaningful games, but apparently Best being the top protoss player tops this.

Edit: Also, don't get so defensive, I made a point about why Best does not deserve to be that high, with what I think is a pretty sound argument. You are kind of nit-picking things about my points and going off on tangents to defend yourself, like the thing about Flash and bandwagoners.


Watch Stork play at his absolute best.

Watch BeSt play at his absolute best.

Come back and tell anyone that Stork is a better player with a straight face.

Watch Savior play at his absolute best.
So uh...why isn't Savior #1 power rank?
Oh right, it's about current ability too. Let's see...
Best :OSL, Eliminated offline prelims for MSL, eliminated Ro8 WCG
Stork:OSL, MSL, 2nd WCG.
Hm...

haha a very nice and unbias PR this month!
unfortunitly the bias is what makes it hilarious, but still nice rank, and as much of an avid july fan as I am, I must agree, he's leaving something to be desired lately, he had a ZvP walk through the OSL and only a fool would deny that, if he ran into a terran I can't help but think he would of been eliminated.

But he didn't so I still love his insane micro and great play, but I want to see him step up even more and show us another goodfriend moment

The large percentage of TL.net also hated flash and said he was shit until he won an OSL. What does that say? TL.net is full of bandwagons. Best the best protoss player in the world. PR is made up of 2 things statistics in the past month and how good the actual player is.

This isn't the KeSPA ranking.

in the pre-mst stages and even the MST anything can happen. There is nothing that tells us exactly how the games went that knocked best out. His opponent could've luckboxed and came out ahead.



i admit that i didnt like flash when all he did was cheese but i liked him before he won the osl ^^
i liked his anti-carrier build.

Great power rank, definitely less fanboyism comapred to FS. (joking, just joking)
Not sure if Best should have been raised up that high though...

I'm expecting Midas+Savior to show up on the PR soon...


oh god I hope so

This is a very good power rank, even though there's not much for writeups. The only thing I don't agree with is Luxury sticking around, but that might be because I'm not a Luxury fan. He hasn't done much for me lately. I mean losing to both Tempest and DarkElf in the MSL Survivor...

Hopefully we'll see more Zerg in the coming months.

Mine would be more like
1.Jaedong
2. Stork
3. Much
4. Luxury
5. Flash
6. ForGG
7. Leta
8. Best
9. Fantasy
10. Thezerg

My 3-6 is such a toss-up though, like I could re-arrange that in any way and be happy. It's super hard to really rank players in a numerical order, so props to you deadvessel.

Much at 3 with one great match up, one decent match up, and one terrible match up?

God damn you people are bad at making lists.

I kinda think Bisu deserves a spot on the list.

Bisu is in for both the MSL and OSL. He beat Stork in the STX Masters, 2-1ed Iris, and also defeated Much recently as well. Well, Much did go 1base Carriers, but Bisu handled it well. Each of those players are either on this power rank, or last month's, so they are quality wins. Even if he doesn't make the top 10, I think he deserves a CBNC at least.

I agree with all your decisions though your PR lacks personality, and it's shorter, which leaves me with a twinge of sadness, but your placement is awesome.
I'm glad to see Jaedong @ number 1 after so many months where that spot was snached right before the month ended.

Great job DeadVessel! I really like this PR, but I still miss the grumpy guy who normally writes these.

I like seeing ForGG so low for a change. I don't know why but watching him beat Flash and Jaedong really didn't seem that impressive. He seems to get thrown for a loop whenever he runs into someone who's moves he can't predict.

This seems to have been a rough month for anylizing player's skills though. NO good events or high pressure anything. I mean, WCG and STX Master's Cup? Talk about dry!

Pretty good ranking, but July needs a bit more love. Winning when it counts has to be acknowledged.

I somewhat agree with this . Don't hail BEST because he took one 1 game vs Jaedong. In that game JD went all in and failed . I think Stork has been showing some great play too and result wise .
And whats up with Luxury being so low he did make WCG grand finals although droping out of MSL he still is the favourite in his OSL group .I think Luxury should be above Sea and fantasy until they prove some more that they belong here ...

Ah, assuming of course the Power Rank for next month will be on time. Which it likely won't be as recent months has shown.
