Did you forget about Best entirely? And, thezerg > luxury? fOrGG nowhere to be found? Sure, we haven't seen him recently, but you assume he got a lot worse all of a sudden. I may disagree with PR's on occasion, and I may be a horrible BackHo fanboy, but posts like this make me glad that FakeSteve normally does the power rank. | ||

Well, if I were to do PR it would be on a monthly basis, strictly, rather than overall. Do I think, overall Luxury is better than Thezerg? Absolutely. Jaedong is the best player in the world. BeSt is top 5 easy. I'm not claiming to be an expert. I'm not going to be pretentious and pretend I know more than FS who watches every fucking game. I do "ok" in liquibet, and I watch the VODs that I'm told are interesting, and the GOM games with players I like. If I were to guess at who is doing the best THIS MONTH, it would be those players in order. | ||

If I were to guess at who is doing the best THIS MONTH, it would be those players in order. I think doing the PR based on who are the current top 10 best players including their play from current month is much better than simply who performed the best this month without regarding their overall terms of skill. If we go by your method of PR, we could possibly see weak players like Rock as #1 PR, if in that month, he beats other low level players without losing any. Lets say that Jaedong lost 2 games in December to another high level player like Flash, while Rock did not lose any games during December, but he beat players like Backho and Tossgirl. Strictly looking how well they performed that month, its obvious that Rock had a better month than Jaedong. However, would you place Rock above Jaedong for December PR? I dont think so | ||

I dont think so Lol if Rock was #1 TL would revolt. That being said, there is no doubt the current system (the one in the latter description) is better. I honestly think DrHelvetica just realized his mistake and is trying to cover it up with an excuse. | ||

BeSt is showing pretty solid results lately and JD haven't played for a while, thats why its rather logical to think that BeSt will extend his winning streak then JD starting an all-kill crusade with his MSL group. I have no doubt in him advancing, but I think he will do it the hard way | ||

Not playing for a long time shouldn't be a factor. These guys practice 24/7. Oh and Best's opponents in the OSL were mediocre so you should elaborate more on your opinion. | ||

I have no doubt in him advancing, but I think he will do it the hard way BeSt lacks consistent wins in all match-ups (Hello PvZ). Also Jaedong is pretty much undeniably the best player on earth, and has been for a long time. Even when Flash was invincible for half a season, Jaedong wasn't showing much weakness. He got cheesed out of OSL. It happens. | ||

But really, top spot is not only about top results, it is about being the top player. Right now, I think Jaedong has even odds against the best Terran players, and overwhelming odds against any Protoss or Zerg. The same analogy does clearly not hold true for Best, while he would be even against most, I would hold July and Jaedong as CLEAR favorites over Best, and I think terrans like Flash and ForGG would be favored as well. People seem to have dropped ForGG WAY too fast IMHO. He lost two series in recent memory, in the OSL and WCG, and suddenly, he is no good? Remember, he lost against the very best PvT players there is, and he didn't get trounced either. I honestly think ForGG should have 2nd this month. | ||

I don't know what it has to do with Oktober's rank selection . I don't think Best deserves to be even second clearly Stork has outperformed him recently and if he demolish his rather tough MSL group he should be above Best . I don't know why Best is so high this month ( maybe because Flash has fallen) when he had played only some special PL events and that was all , but stork rolled WCG korea up to the final and qualified for both leagues . Something Best failed to do , also i think Stork's OSL group was a lot harder too . I too still think that ForGG should be in top 5 at least . I think that when you dumb Leta Luxury and probably Sea too out of the rank next month one of the slots should be taken by one of the three who passes the group of death in the OSL tiebreakers ( July , Much or Bisu ). I don't know if the map pool can get anymore worse for zergs Plasma is a bitch , and zergs need to do something to survive it (well whats left of them ) . I think Flash should still be third or fourth shuffle him with Best somehow . And don't look just at the OSL , MSL and also GSL is equal in importance now . | ||
