Still, it always bugs me when some guys throw arguments like "X is 2-4 this month. He should be lower than Y who is 3-1". You can make an argument out of statistics only if you take a large amount of relevant data, what is not possible for PR. Otherwise, not only do you have to look how many games players win/lose, but also WHO they win/lose to and HOW. What DeadVessel did pretty well imo. Midas losing to the über gay 2 rax proxy by Mind? Big deal. Much's defeat to Bisu almost counts as a win imo because the B/O fits the map and was well executed, with a lot of good in-game decisions. Much did not loose it. Bisu won. On the other hand, July's B/O against Flash smelled like despair and helplessness (don't get me wrong, I like July) and made a few questionnable moves during the game. See the difference? | ||

And I think he's terrible six days out of the week. And on the seventh day, he played ForGG on Bluestorm? While I will readily agree that not all his victories this month has been S level starcraft, that game was very good IMHO. | ||

Speaking of much - GRANDPA TOSS FIGHTING. And this is coming from a T player ;o 1 base carriers? Fuck yes. Stork should maybe be a bit higher (#2?), and Flash is about right - although I wish he'd bring back his old TvP pwnage, which is beginning to look a liiiitle shaky. Thezerg should probably be on there too, but I think your top 10 as a whole seem to fit very well... no one to kick out in favor of thezerg  Fantasy has been playing very well lately, so his spot seems pretty justified. But Lux seems... low. Of course, his performance last month was not great either. (unfortunately I have probably been corrupted by september games though) Finally, don't lynch me, but Sea should be lower. Beating Stork was good :O but I think fantasy and luxury have been playing better than he has. other things - there are 4 people on this power rank who have been #1 at some point :O and stork has his highest as... 2nd. Who would've thought? | ||

Who would've thought? Concerning Fantasy & Sea. It was very hard for me to place one before the other, on one hand fantasy beat NaDa twice and is both leagues. But on the other hand Sea played much more recently and performed well for the most part. In the end it was very close and I only put Sea ahead by a small margin. If I could both Sea and Fantasy would be at 7 and TheZerg would be on the list =]. | ||

I would have Luxury above fantasy and Sea because he is still the best all around zerg after Jaedong and he is the favourite in his OSL group + he made the WCG grand final .Although no zerg can reach the ZvP of Jaedong and July at the moment . | ||

I think you fail to take into account that he's still the OSL champion.... he should have some stability in the rankings since he didn't really play many games, I don't think it's fair to take him off the PR. | ||

What month is it now? September What did July do in August? Since the OSL Finals July is 2-4. He beat Jaehoon and took a game off Luxury but still lost the series. Tell me how that warrants anything? I LOVE July. If he wins his next games in the OSL then he's back on the PR without a doubt. But to be honest his play has been dismal and his stats were even worse. Go watch his game vs Flash it was terrible. | ||

Luxury couldn't even take down Darkelf. He's playing Mind and Midas who have some of the best TvZ in Progaming. He is not the favorite, but he's not the underdog. Losing to Darkelf is the main reason that he's moved down so much. I don't care what map he lost to Darkelf on, a player of Luxury's caliber should NEVER lose to Darkelf. | ||
