"Does this look odd to you? It sure looks odd to me. Odd doesn't even begin to cover the unreal boost in play fOrGG showed in July. Results are all well and good (and with an MSL win, I'm sure no one will disagree that he's got 'em in spades), but the real matter here is that no one played better StarCraft in July than fOrGG. Breaking out of his mould in a big way, fOrGG showed the world he's capable of so much more than making thirty thousand units and throwing them away. His games were dynamic, explosive, and most importantly, they were fucking brilliant StarCraft. Gotta give credit where it's due, there isn't a player in the world that came anywhere near fOrGG in July." yes it is different because his wins were heavier since they came from MSL, but thwe fact remains that he was the best player that month. player of the month... I think my arguements does hold. There is a difference between going 10-0 first and then losing game and going 10-0 and then keep winning games when you should make the PR. thats why i used flash's 17-3 record. Dont you agree that there is a difference? | ||

If Flash manage to beat Stork and then Rock in GOM, I believe he should take #2 spot. If he fails in any of this matchs, he shouldn't. One day isn't a big deal... | ||

Dont you agree that there is a difference? well well, how can u compare ForGG's performances in that month with flash in this month ?!?! omg forgg won the MSL. He destroyed the #2 player 3-0. He had a very hard path, and dismantled all opposition. I mean wtf ?! what did flash do ? beat noobs. I AGREE FLASH PLAYS VERY GOOD but wth ?! u just can`t give this example also: On December 13 2008 20:54 MrHoon wrote: I hope Flash hits #1 and Jangbi gets #2 so we can try aiming for 2000 post count. LMAO, that would be strange or maybe another #1 spot for Sea...so all the "Romanians" could compain about it | ||

ForGG beat kal and hero in the groups, than destroyed Sea, beat kal again in a Bo5, beat flash in a bo5, and then 3-0'd JD in the finals. This was ForGG's path in the MSL that he won. Flash beat fantasy 3 times, and he then free ( we all knew what happened ) , and after that he lost to zero in the PL (that`s not a big deal since it`s PL, everyone loses from time to time...Zero was also hot) and then beat Pure, hyvaa, and Chalrenge, also in PL. Also he "managed" to take a #2 place in a group with Horang2, GGplay, and Dongrae. Excuse me, but that doesn`t sound impressive at all. | ||

So far, none of the "S Class" players were showing anything better than what Flash was showing now. Stork has been suffering from the OSL Curse, Jaedong dropped the ball this month (thank god he made it through OSL offline, I would've been so pissed of keke beat JD), Jangbi, well Jangbi is Jangbi, Free lost in a humiliating game and dropped OSL, Kal is one inconsistent motherfucker (like Kingdom) and BeSt lost a PvP and no MSL for him. The only reason why I didn't even mention Bisu is because he literally played NO GAMES. | ||

I think it covers mostly what's PR about, player of the month but sometimes you have to make exceptions and take into account games and series which were played earlier. i explained why, read if you care. | ||
