But either way, he's just been making really really really DUMB decisions lately. He opened strong (but a liiitle shakier than usual) at the start of the season...but like...zergs in general are having a hard time against terrans, but like his ZvP and ZvZ are showing signs of just dumb play where he hangs on for longer than most would have due to his extreme mechanics. Like that ZvP game on Andromeda (I forget who it was) this season where he made like 18 lurkers against a goon heavy army... -_____-;;... Or that ZvZ on...Neo Requiem I believe? (might have been Raid Assault)...where he lost because he tried to play with some cute ling micro and bust the other guy's ramp...which resulted in HIS ling line getting run past...and then losing like three or four drones...


While some of it is true, there is really no reason to say that jaedongs zvz is bad or stupid in any way. He is a fucking GOD at zvz. No one has ever played zvz better than he has done for long and still does.

Bisu is dominating, but Stork isnt really playing that good after his OSL win which got him #1 spot last month. Saying that no one is close to stork now except bisu and flash is wrong imo.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

yeah, looking at the stats JD must be a zvz GOD but if I have to name a guy who has a shot of beating him in a BoX zvz match...well this is OverSky. Just watch their last encounters, all the games were ridiculously close

There's a lot of deje vu in this ranking for some reason. Maybe it's the comments about FBH, Free got eliminated again by a better player (opposite of the bracket he's in the final EZ), or Kal's ok play. Or the fact that Sea is #10, ripped up something again, and is living up to Bisu's billing of the #1 Terran.

This month's PR would have not been much fun to do. You have no individual leagues to base performance off of, and Proleague matches comparing good players are few. The best objective ranking you can do is that "Player A and Player B both beat Player C" which is not very much fun.

Yeah I think Jaedong's untouchable ZvZ isn't helping him at the present with every single other zerg sucking right now except calm, zero, and oversky. But holy cow, who would have thought that a player on ACE would get recognition for playing really well, oversky's number 2 in zvz right now imo with luxury struggling (one loss to a non-JD/Lux zerg since playing for ACE)

the only change i'd make would be removing Jaedong completely and adding Fantasy or Leta, and reordering the bottom part. imo Fantasy's losses are far more justifiable than FBH's.

my list would be:

1. Bisu
2. Stork
3. Flash
4. Jangbi
5. free
6. Best
7. Kal
8-10. Some combo of FBH/Leta/Fantasy/Sea

For the FBH / Leta / Fantasy / Sea discussion, they are all performing amazingly in proleague. Leta and Fantasy have more wins, but it's a wash since they are all doing very well. Then you look at individual leagues:

Fantasy: seeded into OSL, passed MSL qualifiers
Leta: passed OSL qualifiers, passed MSL qualifiers
Sea: passed OSL qualifiers (seeded), qualified for MSL
FBH: failed OSL qualifiers, seeded in MSL

You could argue that FBH's MSL performance counts more, but it was back in October. In November, he is just 0-3 vs Bisu in MSL. The seed shouldn't count that much.

I think the rank for these four should be:

1. Sea / Fantasy (very close)
3. Leta / FBH (again very close)

Going with my gut and how these guys are playing, I think it should be Sea, then Fantasy, then Leta. But it's debatable for sure, but I just don't think FBH is as high as #6.

Other than this it's a great rank, I especially agree with Bisu at #1. Great job Steve!


That makes a lot of sense. What made FBH stick out for me was that he is incredibly likely to have a comparable level of success in MSL this season (that is, crushing every Terran and Zerg he plays against) and is still very likely to maintain his performance in ProLeague. That measure of consistancy made him worthy of higher praise in my mind, because it shows that he is, for the moment, a justifiably better player than Leta/Sea/Fantasy.

Steve I don't often comment on these threads (I'm not really that knowledgeable of a player) However, I don't think one should factor in probable success in to a power ranking. You should only look to current performance...because FBH can honestly dissapoint

I think Effort deserves at least a mention, if not a CBNC. Although I guess getting knocked out of GOM by Best was a blow to his cause. Although those game's aren't in TLPD for some reason. :S

Does it seem like people are reacting more to Jaedong "slump" of 9-10 than Flash's "slump" of 7-12 a few months ago?

How coinendicental, perhaps this is where it ends?

as much as i love effort, he's not in CBNC yet. if he advanced past either prelim or got further in gom or won that most recent ace match against light... then maybe. but right now he's just pure potential, no consistent results yet.

In about two hours Stork is going to prove why he should have been #3.

The pro-scene just makes me feel so awesome right now, with so many good players, and it's gotten more competitive than ever before.

Interestingly, Flash is probably a favorite against both Bisu and Stork at the moment because of history and his godly vP, but his vZ is weak enough to justify his placement under at least Bisu. I'm not sure Stork deserves to be over him after his very lackluster performance post-OSL, though.

I think any argument of placing Stork over Flash for this month has been settled. That was a convincing win by Stork there.
