A SC tournament without the big team is like swimming olympics without Michael Phelps... Dude, those 2 tournaments might not have been Kespa tournaments at the time, but how is it fair to rate Bisu's gold in GSL season 2 more important than JD's gold in GSL season 1? (The opponents were just as tough, and Jaedong had to face FLASH in his worst matchup, ZvT, while Bisu had to face Jangbi, in PvP, arguably one of his best matchups.) Just because it wasn't Kespa sanctioned at the time doesn't take away any level of difficulty or anything. That analogy fails because the players JD had to face in season 1 was just as tough as players Bisu had to face at season 2. Its not the team that is fearsome, its the players that create the team. On the other hand, I think Bisu should be #1 PR next month and Jaedong #2 PR even though I like both (I like JD a little more) because I feel like Bisu has been on fire lately. And they faced each other right before this match, where Bisu won. So the score is really 3-3 tied for this PR. And I think Bisu's performance was better than Jaedong's performance for this month. | ||

Well the first tournament only had 7 of the teams participating in it and this season it had 10 which did make the competition that much harder. A lot of good players didn't get a chance that first season and many a few didn't this season, but the competition is much harder. I mean hell, Shuttle and Backho made it to ro4 the year Jaedong won. A few good players most notably Luxury, Yarnc, Leta, and Light did not get to participate this season, but for the most part all of the best were participating. So yes, the level as difficulty and number of opponents was much more difficult for Bisu. I am pretty sure having to beat Flash, Skyhigh, and Jangbi is more impressive than have to beat Lomo, Shuttle, and Flash. As for this months rank, I don't have the time to write explanations, but if you have a question feel free to ask 1. Bisu 2. Jaedong 3. Jangbi 4. Flash 5. Luxury 6. Leta 7. Stork 8. Light (look at this guys record recently its really good) 9. Hyvaa 10. Hwasin Yeah main suprise and thing I would like Steve to take a look at is that I really think Light deserves a spot. MBC Hero has really turned its performance around with Light now leading them. | ||

(Ace was eliminated by the time seeds entered the tournament, except Mumyung who lost to Rock) Spoilers are for post size.

In this situation do you determine the order by their 2 matches or by purely looking at their SL performance? No way Flash can be above Jaedong after dropping both OSL and MSL. | ||

Bisu is one step ahead in terms of consistancy to perform at his best level of play than flash and jaedong. However when all of them play their very best bisu, in my oppinion, is the worst out of them. | ||

However when all of them play their very best bisu, in my oppinion, is the worst out of them. I think thats because Flash and Jaedong prepare harder for WL then Bisu , but thats just my thought . Bisu is still a monster in WL too . Well as of late KTF and Lecaf have mostly been sending Flash/Jaedong at the last sets probably not to overwork them ? Bisu is sent whenever the map is good for protoss and that way he is catching up with Flash and Jaedong pretty fast in WL or is it just that SKT has been failing a lot more recently and they are relying on Bisu to win them the series . | ||

I really agree here, Bisu probably should get 1# for this month but i still think that hes the worst of the best  | ||

But srsly, flash is out of both SL's, which simply count for more than PL. The people he lost to also matter, because he lost in his supposed best matchup TvT. 1. Bisu 2. Jaedong(barely missed #1) 3. 4. Jangbi 5. Luxury 6. Stork 7. Flash 8-10. Who cares. | ||
