How could you be?, the last two pages of this PR was flaming about who said Hwasin should be on the PR and when Hwasin should be on the PR and who got it right about who said what.

So, no.

he should probably be moved onto the pr if he keeps this level of play up, yeah. but we have more than a month to go, so why bother posting this? It's like making arguments over leta bisu jaedong or flash for #1 in a month. It's a month, who the hell knows what will happen?

Stay cool guys. I just asked about Hwasin as he was in the last PR and not in this one even though his record became even better.
Anyways, I know Manifesto used another ranking system and it's his decision alone whom he ranks or not.
But I hope that Hwasin will keep up his good performance and will be ranked properly next PR.
PEACE~

Jangbi has the unique ability to not only beat anyone in the world, but lose to anyone as well.


I disagree. Jangbi is one of the most consistent players right now, especially out of the Protoss pool. His losses come rarely in Proleague; he pulls through every time in individual leagues.Everyone drops unexpected matches at times, that's just the nature of the game. This is certainly not a unique quality, because it happens to everyone. What about Bisu? Could you say the same thing for Bisu then? He lost verses Zergs he was supposed to beat. I also remember when Jaedong lost to guys like Tempest in a best out of three, but that doesn't all of sudden make him a player "that can beat anyone in the world, but lose to anyone as well." I don't know, I feel like you are using an unfair criteria for Jangbi regarding this when it's not a distinctive quality.

As for Stork being at the bottom, eh, I guess I can't argue much about it because he went on that losing streak in Proleague. But him handling forGG/go.go to easily advance from the group, then beating NaDa on infamous Rush Hour III and then taking down Mind shows he's still the greatest PvTer in the world. Hopefully it's also a sign that he's back to his normal form.

Other than that, I really enjoyed this Power Rank, particularly your writing style. Thanks Mani!



I agree 100%, with all three points.
On the JangBi inconsistency, even though I know it doesn't mean much, I remember when he had a 90% win-ratio on iccup (one of the best ratios I've seen, correct me if I'm wrong). Even if there aren't only progamers, it's still a very high level of play and this to me is a proof that he's the kind of guy that hates losing and is always capable of finding a way to victory against a lesser opponent.


He pulls trough individual leauges while Bisu doesnt? Let's see,
Bisu: OSL (with wildcard though), GOM;
Jangbi: MSL, GOM (with the luckiest, easiest road possible)

I dont see how do you use idinvidual leagues against Bisu and in favor of Jangbi

Uhh sorry for the late reply but you completely misunderstood my post. I didn't say anything even close to what you are talking about. My point is that Jangbi is a consistent player in both Proleague and individual leagues, not that he pulls through while Bisu doesn't. Bisu was just an example that I picked to show that even the best players can lose to random opponents. You are on a different planet here.

I feel like a few of his really important wins came after the PR for this month was already created.

Maybe next month we will see him on it again.

Watch Jaedongs games tonight (against ACE - the one vs sunny - and in OSL) - it seems to me like he should be higher. He is either far better than JangBi, or I dislike JangBi far more than I thought.

While Jaedong may or may not be better than Jangbi, I don't know why you use his win against Kal and Sunny as examples. If anything, those games prove squat.

If Sunny was even an average TvZer who practices normally, Jaedong would've lost that game. Sunny lost that game because he just doesn't have the late-game terran control of a normal progamer. As for OSL, winning ZvP on Tears of the Moon doesn't exactly require gosu skills.

That said, I wouldn't mind putting Jaedong above Jangbi.

Yarnc may or may not be worthy of the PR next month, but his failure tonight to respond to Stork's one base tech doesn't help matters.

Yeah,but that's one game. Everybody fucks up once in a while. But he is in both league,is good in WL and has decent chances in MSL,although having to face Bisu doesn't increase his chances of qualifying in the OSL,but still,I think Yarnc is an impressive player,and doesn't deserve to be dropped from the PR,yet(there are still at least two weeks). As for Jaedong,as much as I am a fan of his and am happy that he finally beat Kal and FBH after two fails against each of them in PL,I am not sure that he should be placed above Jangbi,and definitely not above Flash. I was sad that Flash stomped him twice and I was sad after his losses against Hwasin and Free too. It just seems to me that JD is better than the majority of players,but he doesn't win against the big guns,much liek how Flash was too months ago. His games against Bisu will be a good indicator,and I really hope he finally finds his edge because I am a fan of his.
EDIT: As for Jangbi,I don't know what to think. He has to be one of the luckiest gamers ever. I mean seriously,he had to beat pepe,had a free win against Backho in the Gom and now he is facing Frozean(are you kidding me????? he's 0-7 in PL) in the MSL. When he plays against lesser opponents,he just makes them look like noobs. And he can stand against the best and has great P v P and P v T. But his P v Z I think is overrated. Everybody comes with stuff like how strong is Jangbi's P v Z,but I didn't see him win an impressive P v Z ever. I mean he loses to almost every player that Bisu lost to,people just don't bitch about that because they didn't meet in a Starleague,so they just say,well,that was only in Proleague,shit happens. But when Bisu lost in Starlagues against Zergs everybody started like Bisu has bad P v Z. Prove me wrong Jangbi,I really hope,I just want you to beat Flash and Bisu(wait,I don't want that,but you get the point),and you are not just capable of beating pepe and players like that.

His game vs Kal may not prove anything but his game vs Suny definitely shows his skill. Yes, it was his fault that he got into the mess vs Suny, but it was his skill that pulled for him in the end. Who can't just say he beat a crappy player. That game showecased a lot of strength from both players.

1.(P)Bisu Just on fire lately. Won GOM finals and came back in MSL. No questions asked.
2.(T)Leta Even though his performances did not go down, Bisu took the #1 spot from playing better. Leta is still very solid player, impressive number of consistent wins
3.(T)Flash Dismantling STX players and all-killing the strongest Team Oz is very impressive, and we can expect no less from Flash.
4.(Z)Jaedong Despite dropping out of MSL, his loss verse Hwasin seems more like a dumb mistake of being sunken greedy that cost him the game, which cost him the MSL. He thrashed players that he recently and previously did not do well verse, such as FBH, Kal, Casy. Also a +1 for all-killing ACE.
5.(T)Hwasin Did awesome in MSL group, and even went to beat Best (who I regarded as the favorite over him)
6.(P)JangBi # He's shown positive results lately but losing to Bisu was expected. Since he got a free ticket out of semi finals, I can't really give him credit for winning silver in GOM. He also gets +1 for beating Zero, who has vastly improved his ZvP

EDIT: Well, I'm having 2nd thoughts on putting Flash below Leta. I just can't decide

Has Leta even done anything in the past month to warrant him being above Flash and Jaedong? (serious question)

Jurs realised something. JangBi has the second best vT in history, looking at the ELO. And he won his last match vs both Leta and Flash, although those matches were far away. And about the question: who is better: Flash or Leta?, I think we will find out soon
