Good luck finding a decent argument for anyone being no1 right now.
Flash 10-5 since last PR, but he only lost to Bisu x2 Stork x1 JD x1
Bisu is out from ro32 MSL and ro36 OSL but is 11-6 this month.
Stork is playing meh this month with a record of 8-5.
Jaedong 12-4 with losses to Upmagic, Kal, Zero,Canata.

Pretty hard choice I would say.

What the fuck Bisu?!?

I will be honest - one part of me wished he would get kicked out (and still feels satisfied with todays results). I love him, but...some things about him from last days pissed me...being it how he messed up MSL groups, how he constantly destroys Flash, his fans being all over the place "he will be the new #1 ELO peak player"...

But seeing that it actually happened...I'm sad . Congrats Bisu, you are probably the first player who got kicked out how I wished but I feel really sad about it now...

You are missing Jangbi, who actually has the cleanest record among all of them at 8-2(losses to Fantasy and Shine, wins against Kal, Leta, and scrubs). Basically I think it's a big jumble at the top.

Personally I would wait till the end of the month, If not wait for Bisu vs Skyhigh to make a decision before putting Bisu first incase Bisu fucks up. I mean Skyhigh's TvP is no joke and his play style is sick, Mind but x10 more aggressive.

umm now that bisu is out of both major leagues, I think he should be dropped a bit :/ I still guess we should wait for GOM, but it's kind of the 15th already and I hate months without power ranks >.>

only a couple hours of work to do today!

my my, this PR is going to turn some heads. it almost sickens me, the placements i have to give. We have a new #1, see if you can guess. Who's the only consistantly top 5 player in the last 2 months who HASN'T been dropping stupid games left and right?

yes flash is not shaky, he lost 3 games to bisu (no shame), and a proxy dt from horang, he could be really #1
edit: he owned lesser players but he lost to bigger names (stork,jaedong,bisu), this could be a serious problem

You seriously think JangBi is stronger than Bisu? I like him, but I don't think this is right.

Yep. Who else has been strong? Who else has only dropped one or two meaningless one-off games? Why would I be sickened by putting Flash at #1?

Ahh, a smart man.

I don't think Jangbi is a better player. I do, however, think he is playing stronger right now. Despite not being in OSL, Jangbi has played consistantly top-level StarCraft, whereas + Show Spoiler +
Bisu didn't win a single game in either league on his way to being eliminated from both
.

Flash comes close, but his game quality just hasn't been as high (besides the Bisu series in GOM which was stellar, but he did lose!)

You come after Bisu beat Flash himself three times this month,and Flash lost to Stork and JD,the only other good players he faced. This is sacrilige. I am done following the PR,because it doesn't mean anything anymore. This is outrageous.

Now in which matchup would you consider Jangbi>Bisu?
PvT? Bisu beat Flash multiple times this month, I don't think much more proof is needed.
PvZ? I didn't see the + Show Spoiler +
by.hero
games, but I'm inclined to think that was only a fluke.
PvP? Uhm... no.
Jangbi is indeed more consistent right now, but I'd put im on #3 at most for his raw potential power. This is the Power Rank, right?

The one top 5 player with the least amount of dumb losses who Steve might be sickened to put as 1.... Jangbi?

He said Bisu is out. Stork is almost certainly out. Then we have Jangbi and Free. Neither Jaedong nor Flash were top5 last two months (if by that you mean PR, LJD was 4,8 and Flash 6,3). Free prolly has more dumb losses compared to Jangbi.

But seriously, if not Bisu, then Flash deserves to be 1st. The only dubious game he has had last 2 months were against Horang2, his other losses have been against really strong players.

However much I love Jangbi, he is top 3-4, not better.
