Close But No Cigar.
BackHo: While I realize that Steve might fly to my house and beat me with a hose for this, I have to give the man some love. If it were not for his injury, he might be in two of the three major leagues right now. As it worked out, he sacrificed himself for Bisu, making Emlary extremely happy.
Besides, giving him a CBNC is like giving the last place kid a "participation" ribbon. It doesn't mean shit.
Best: Win your OSL games and I will bring you back. Best is a purely win/loss kind of player. He doesn't play with any style or grace to cause fear, he just bludgeons people to death. There is a reason why fencing is an Olympic sport and caveman skull bashing isn't. That being said, if all the cavemen kill the fencers, then you have to show respect to the form.
FBH: Dude what happened? You got on my Fantasy team and then shit the bed. Your recently games look like suck. Please stop, if only for the sake of my Fantasy PL sig bet.
Hwasin: Yep, you are in both leagues, and should you perform well you will be back in the rankings next month. Best of luck.

I like prefer your writing style over FakeSteve's (dont kill me FakeSteve).
hah i almost died laughing at this *Best: Win your OSL games and I will bring you back. Best is a purely win/loss kind of player.

and Hippie you like men ! Where you at ?

Awesome awesome awesome writeup. Really. Thanks ^^ I love the commentary. Especially "Sometimes I kill people with mutas only for fun". rofl

Damn nice power rank
there are so many hot players right now, I'm sure it was hard
|
4 Zergs in and FBH out of the Top 10. I like this power rank.
"Jangbi has the unique ability to not only beat anyone in the world, but lose to anyone as well."
I'm not sure it's that unique...I feel like this applies to Zero right now as well. I still have faith he'll pull it all together some day. Maybe a deep MSL run.

I laughed through half of this, and @ Luxury... ROFL. Amazing PR, well justified, and I hope you're wrong about Flash. Lee Young Ho represent ~~

Thank you for this comment about Best. I really don't like watching his games because as you said, it's just about winning through pure power. Yet there are so many Best fans on the board that I thought perhaps I was crazy or something.
Anyway, good PR. Don't really have much to say about it, although I really believe(or just hope?) that Stork will come through in the OSL and MSL. When thoroughly prepared, I truly believe Stork is the best player in the game. But the winners league really disagrees with him, because he has trouble adjusting on the fly it seems(although is game against Reach is fairly inexcusable).

yay, this PR is on time (not in the middle of a month). I disagree with Anytime being in the PR but well written otherwise. GJ MAni

Even after his loss to jangbi i still think Free deserves atleast cnbc
|
haha, I like your metaphors. PR was really interesting to read =)

Nothing to do with this power rank, but rather a suggestion for the format:
Instead of having a column devoted to "highest" Power Rank achieved, perhaps we should change it to 'average Power Rank rank', which would be more indicative of their past strength.

1) die. FBH will win a starleague someday.
2) to agree with the 2nd point and more, like 10 starleague caliber players hold this quality. I don't know if it's B-class shaking the nerves and owning a bitch, or these guys just failing hard on occasion. But I think this quality really limits their candidacy for titles.

o hey 4 zergs in the PR nice
the luxury writeup made me laugh

we really need a new leta head pic :\

I disagree with one part of your PR:

That's not a unique ability. Think of the reverse statement:
Backho has the unique ability to not only lose to anyone in the world, but to beat anyone as well. Okay, maybe had the ability, but whatever. Also, I'm not sure about dropping Jangbi 3 spots, but I think I only watched the games where he was dominating.

Nope, it is unique, because while I could never beat BackHo, I have no doubt that Jangbi could drop a game to me because he is too busy getting his hair right in the mirror.
But anyway, I see your point. It was written that way more for style than to be taken as a universal truth.

A++ write-up. Good to see LJD climbing the ranks again ^^

I have issues with Luxury being so high, mostly because of how his games unfolded. Yes the man boasts impressive results, but the games themselves were not champion material games - they were mostly cheeses, all-ins and build order wins (see his OSL games, and vs Stork in PL and so on) while his losses have been abysmal.
Everything else is fine
|
your description of jangbi reminds me of mind during flash's reign. he has the skill to take down the top players, but he's not consistent enough to be the top player. i'm not sure i'd have july as high as he is, but i can't think of a better player to replace him.

Leta looks more badass with short hair.
Excellent Power Rank Mani. Nice to see ZERGS on there. And Anytime on the power rank as well is fucking awesome. He had Jaedong and Forgg when he was on Lecaf really, same applies to JD and Forgg I guess.
Oh, and holy shit PR is out on February 1st!
