EPTI agree with your top 3. Jangbi should be a little bit lower imo and Flash is still very solid in his games. So I would switch Flash with Jangbi

Well losing against Bisu isn't that bad since its Bisu, and Jangbi got a free ticket out of semifinals. Backho's PvP is nothing to scoff at even though he sucks at other MUs. He had the potential to beat Jangbi but we will never find out | ||

and totally disagree with bisu. guy has done nothing but lose and got lucky to be in osl (didnt face z). he has become the face of pvz ineptitude, losing against savior, zero, hero twice, luxury all within three weeks. and that leads to number 2 and a plus 3 rise? sorry yo but that makes no sense | ||

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! | ||

His losses vs zergs in the individual leagues were accounted for in the previous PR accordingly. | ||

Does that not make sense? I mean, he lost on Neo Harmony and Tears of the Moon. Both maps are abominations. And Lux 5pooled him. And all of that equals him being inept at PvZ? He didn't look inept at PvZ vs Estro yesterday. I mean, the guy is about to win GOM, and is probably one of the favorites to win the OSL. Yeah, that means hes bad and slumping. Great logic. | ||

Great logic. yo. when someone has the hubris to select an all z pool for himself and promptly gets raped by it, there should be a discernible effect in the powerrank. his 6-0 is nice but it's hard for me to give anyone credit for those games, just because of the circumstances surrounding. one has to wonder if kespa is even gonna give ELO credit for those games; maybe the last 4, but i don't think he'll get it for the nontelevised first round. | ||
