I think FBH is borderline PR material, depending on what happens the rest of the month. He is arguably the 2nd best Terran right now behind flash. + Show Spoiler + I think he should make it just for incorporating BC in a TvZ build(as opposed to BC for late game turtle-tactic).  See Khan vs Lecaf Ace match for details. | ||

You are also assuming Stork wouldn't 3-0 FBH because FBH got "close" last time, when Stork did in fact 3-0 last time they met. Come on dude, be reasonable here. You are giving Bisu the upper hand based on the assumption that Stork wouldn't 3:0 some guy, when Stork beat....Bisu. BeSt was on a ridiculous PvP winning streak when Stork beat him. BeSt was god-mode, would have given him the best PvPer title. Yes Free has been hot, but doesn't quite compare. PvP is also Free's shakiest matchup. Not even close. Okay sure, I will give this one to Bisu since I do think Jangbi is a better player than Fantasy. But keep in mind that Fantasy was very hot at this time too. Furthermore, all the ranks that you are using (such as Fantasy #9) are THIS month's rankings. Fantasy was higher when Stork beat him. So was Best. Hmm I wonder what teamliquid thinks of it. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=82741 Thanks avidkeystamper I've thought this through again and yes I have to concede that Stork did go through a somewhat harder path in his OSL than Bisu. But I have to also contend that a harder OSL path last month should not mean as much as you claim. Look, Bisu went past his opponents in MSL in a quite impressive manner. He could not choose his opponents. It's not his fault for their lack of caliber in their respective matchups, and why should bisu be penalized for something he has no control over? It's like even if he is the No. 1 player in the world, but because of the opponents he faces, no matter how hard he rapes them, somehow a harder path from last month's osl win means more. If this msl and osl were to happen in the same time frame then Stork should claim the best player on earth title rather than Bisu. A reasonable methodology in the ranking should not put exactly the same weight on last month and this month I suppose? After all this is This Month's ranking. Stork's osl win was more impressive, but Bisu's msl win carries more weight does it not? I know it's what they incorporate in Kespa monthly rank except they employ a much bigger time horizon. | ||

It works out perfectly for Bisu so much of the time that I don't really think it's gambling anymore. In Bisu's PvP, it isn't really that rare of a thing. | ||

Don't worry about it lol people get angry when there's conflicts of opinions.

This is how I see it- Power Rank should include the past leagues at least until new ones start and several games are played. That means Incruit OSL won't have much effect on the rankings when the new OSL season games have happened. Until then, however, I think it should carry equal weight as the MSL. After all, they are separated by a little more than two weeks and I don't think it's fair to take the older one out of equation, or take away its significance. Having said that, Stork had a harder OSL than Bisu did in MSL. Which is why I think Stork should remain at number one, unless Bisu keeps up his play while Stork continues dropping games. Just because your opinion varies from mine, please don't call me an "incompetent person who is out of his fucking mind." Thanks | ||

And i somewhat agree with all of his rankings . I like FS and OneOther's PRs too , sometimes i disagree with their player placements but they are doing a pretty good job .

Also, Stork or Bisus #1 or #2 is not set in stone imo. OSL is always bigger than MSL and Stork beat Bisu so for me Stork is #1 one more month. This...If someone starts trolling even thought he isn't right , althought even if he is right if he trolls he should still get a temp ban .... | ||

You haven't watched Arena MSL did you ? Bisu wasn't just outplayed he was badly raped then  On November 23 2008 13:17 Avidkeystamper wrote: Poll: Which is a harder series for a protoss (overall)?

The top players ALL play a lot of games. In fact, Jaedong played the least amount of games BY FAR among the top players over the past month. Jaedong's simply not performing recently. Flash, I agree, was overworked tremendously last season. And he still has a pretty heavy workload this season too. | ||

And he still has a pretty heavy workload this season too. u are wrong dude. They practice alot of games, but against a single MU. It`s hard to practice against 2 different type of games in one day. There are A LOT of examples. JD played in every single game. + he played in almost all ace matches; if u say that JD play only a few games, u are faaaaaaaaar from bein` right.

If it was the other way, then one month we would have a PR with 10 gamers, and the next month we could have one with 8 different ones, just because the rest didn`t play in any individual league | ||

Maybe near the bottom end, most likely either #9 or #10, because his 0-3 against Bisu has to be considered. | ||

My thoughts: Somewhere between #7-9. He should definitely be dropped because he's still under-performing. | ||
