Bisu was on fire before he lost to Fantasy and Hoejja.

He made it to #1 PR for last month

He still holds the status as the current best Protoss in the world

His streak of wins before getting stopped by Hoejja was out of this world

I don't see how someone like Bisu can fall more than 2 ranks because of losses to two players, of which, one is a teammate.

mainly because he started dieing out in his play. i dont count the race wars special event because nobody really practiced for that, and stork would have to be much higher due to his double berth and strong play.

but one thing. jaedong is a beast. luxury has been winning in all matchups in his msl run, and he made it to the quarters of the osl to lose to fantasy to boot ontop of his msl championship.
fantasy because although he didn't contribute as much in WL, he contributed just as much as bisu in the month of march in WL playoff, one win one loss, albeit against someone alot tougher than some sacraficial zerg lamb to bisu in set 1. plus, when these two met up, it wasnt just the fact that he lost, he got fucking demolished, even if it was a teammate. bisu didn't show the strong play that he was showing the previous month. and the power rank is about how they are doing RIGHT NOW rather than how they were doing a month or two ago.
Bisu and Jangbi are interchangable. bisu started faltering at the semifinals, jangbi failed on the final stage. but up until this point, they were both monsters when it came to winning their individual league games. i know bisu has a better p v z than jangbi, and he probably would have won against lux if they were switched, but i for damn sure know jangbi wouldnt have lost in the fashion bisu did against fantasy.
bisu and jangbi are basically equal on rank 4/5, but noway in hell bisu deserves to be higher than fantasy or luxury when they were both playing like there was no tomorrow, fucking demolishing opponenets left and right.

he also lost a series to Jaedong at the beginning of the month and lost a game to by.Hero in WL.

If you lose to the current #1 player in the world, it doesn't change your ranking because the #1 is the favorite over anyone

It takes a long time for the writeup. Holy shit,I thought that you can make a ranking in 20 minutes at most. But hey,you are motherfucking Fakesteve and you need to take 2 hours to write your perfect rankings.

Well, since the new rank isn't up, Bisu is #1 as far as the power rank goes, and all matches he loses are matches he was technically the favor in, if you want to get really technical about favorites and top rankings.

But I don't think anyone wants to disagree about how stomptastic Jaedong is.

Sample size: The Whole Month. it's PR, not Kespa rankings.

"i don't understand the concept of sample size"

i also don't understand why you keep saying "4 game losing streak" like it means something. he's 1-4 in his last 5 official games (you know, you pretty much have to count the win because it happened on the same day as the loss).

and this is what i'm responding to. 4 losses in 5 games means very little. it's highly unlikely bisu is any worse now than when he was considered a borderline "bonjwa" candidate. as avidkeystamper said, it's not whether or not bisu dropped much: it's who surpassed him. jaedong, obviously so. luxury, fantasy...well we'll see. jangbi, haha, no.

I do understand the concept of sample size, but for PR we can't just use the games played during the last 2 years... it's monthly for a reason. 4-game losing streak means that he's lost 4 games in a row instead of won some, unlike Jangbi.

And no, I don't have to count the win, simply because a win isn't part of the losing streak. And when I say "4-game losing streak" it by itself included that he won the game played before those 4 games. Learn what a losing streak means.

it's difficult to tell whether you're being willfully ignorant to be contrary or you actually don't understand despite saying you do.

first off, i never said anything about "games played during the last 2 years." if you understand statistics then you understand that 3 months ago means something, albeit less than 2 months, albeit less than 1 month ago, albeit less than 1 week ago. and if you understand sample size, then you understand 4 games from one week ago probably means less than 50+ games from the past 3 months, aggregate.

and "it's monthly for a reason" is another misconception. player skill doesn't necessarily cycle and change so violently that it occurs monthly. the reason the power rank is monthly is because...well because it has to be updated at some point. for most players, relatively few games have been played this month, which is why there is so much being made out of so few games. an illusion from scarcity.

as for your last point, you didn't understand my argument. i'm saying that you bandying around "4-game losing streak" is useless and pretty much power rank propoganda. i mean, would you say fantasy is on a 3 game losing streak? technically he is, but would you ever use that in an argument? "fantasy is playing poorly lately - he is on a 3 game losing streak." sounds pretty bad, no?

the luxury-bisu-fantasy placement is what will probably be dissected the most, but this was very clear to me for a number of reasons i am going to outline. I think most people will agree
