Great Write up

I 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

I wouldn't. Flash hasnt played enough games against the best recently, and Jangbi just made the finals of a league.

I don't like Leta at #1. Hes good, but like... I still want to see how he does in series play. I'm unconvinced.

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

I agree with this list, although I would put YARNC higher than Luxury.

Good writeup Mani! It's good to see a PR on time for once.

i agree with anytime.

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

I mostly agree with the PR but I feel That it should be lux jangbi flash. Honestly, Flash has done next to nothing the past month while lux got the first all kill and then made it into both leagues. His loss vs Leta was more Leta being a genius than lux failing IMO. But overall, a great PR and onecthats actually on time!

Ps. <3 Leta

So we should judge how high someone is on the power rank purely by how they perform against one of 3 races?
MSL, 2003-2011, RIP. OSL, 2000-2012, RIP. Proleague, 2003-2012, RIP. And then there was none... Even good things must come to an end.

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!

yeah, if that one race leads to your disqualification from two out of the three individual leagues.

the number 2 TL player for the month of january shouldnt be someone disqualified from both OSL and MSL within a week.

Um, strictly speaking, Bisu is 2-1 since the last PR, and we would normally only look at games played in the interval between PRs. His losses vs zergs in the individual leagues were accounted for in the previous PR accordingly.

Being invincible PvP and PvT, going 6-0 all in the same night, and again reaching his ELO peak. 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.

fakesteve makes it clear that the last msl results were not accounted for in the power rank. so, strictly on what fakesteve said, the msl failures have not been accounted for.

and even if the OSL results are accounted for, the fact he got disqualed from both leagues in the Ro32+ for each is really bad. his OSL Wildcard achievement is nice, but those games never should have happened. bisu took advantage of his luck; good for him, but that shouldnt be a #2 player.

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.
