Close, but No Cigar
Zero: Zero is good, but not very often. ZvZ ain't enough. This should be pretty clear to everyone, despite the MSL Semifinal he tried to play in.
Light: Improving, but not currently in an environment that is really conducive to breaking far into individual leagues. He did what he could to pull MBC out of their Winner's League hole, but his losses were usually pretty tragic.
There's always been a certain level of promise about Light, often completely overlooked because of the high expectations everyone always has of Sea. He isn't playing as good as this top ten, though.
Leta: Playing like ass. Why he's decided to adjust his winning formula I don't understand. He is taking more risks, but doesn't have the mechanics or game sense to back them up. Stick to what works, man. Predictability is not something Leta needs to worry about.
More to come

Nada the greatest player of all time? Boxer would have something to say to that. 
He is definitely the most successful progamer though.

hmm, more CBNC: Leta and Light for starters, as they both dropped out of the rank? Apart from that I am fine with the placement.

What do you think about Light steve
|
NaDa is a hero. He never gives up. I'd say he's like a machine but he's not, he's better than a machine. That guy continues to amaze me. Every time I think he's finally down for the count, he comes back swinging harder than ever.

Fantasy played so perfectly the first two games that I thought he was going to win the third, but that didn't happen and I do believe that Jaedong is bonjwa material, even though he lost to skyhigh. And jangbi, go for a gold next time! =P

i dont agree on Luxury's ZvP being that good, his placement is justified though.
My toughts on the finals: jangbi is a very strong toss, but not the best against Z, certanely not weak, i dont think he's even top 3, debatable
Game 1: Sim-city mistake, what the hell Jangbi, not even B teamers do this kind of mistakes, with lingrunby he killed 8 probes and the forge once again. Jangbi still was in that, til he decided is fun to send a ctrl group of units in lurkers sunkens spores lings and whatnot at Lux's natural
Game 2: What a letdown, Luxury opened very strong teching hive, having presence on the map, and when Jangbi moves out instead of denieing the next expo or flanking the mian army he sends 2 groups of cracklings to die for nothing..
Game 3 ling runby, you cant blame Jangbi, that was nice, but than with 7-8 lings he barely killed any probes. Ok, he done the dmg, but the best ZvP player should rape the probes with that many lings. Jangbi tought he's smart and gone 2 stargate, gg
Game 4 Nicely done really, this was beautiful, Luxury played it perfect, jangbi didnt but that's not Lux's fault
other than that, very nicely done, pity it's this late

Oh, and put Leta in CBNC imo, i dont think he seemed weak when he got dropped from the Leauges, still very strong player

answering maybe the main part of my comment not the PostScriptum?
and btw it's strange you are offended when s1 is complaining about you being late, best defence is attack, right?

Very well put, I agree entirely except my conclusion is very different.
Also I don't even think Luxury is the 2nd best ZvP player in the world. He's not as good as July OR Jaedong.
Let's look at what he actually did this month:
He beat Zero in a ZvZ... well that's not super impressive.
He got dumped out of the OSL by Fantasy.
He went 2win 3loss in Winner's league. Getting utterly destroyed by Jaedong... again.
Then he beats Jangbi in the MSL final. This is impressive and he should rightly get some credit for this. But let's not go wild because Jangbi did not play very well.
When you look at that it's not the resume of a 2nd place PR.
Now consider Fantasy:
He beat Luxury in the OSL.
He beat Bisu convincingly in the OSL.
He went 2-2 in the Winner's league
He lost an amazing TvZ final to the best player in the world. A final he was SO close to winning.
That to me is much more impressive.
Look at the quality of opponents. Fantasy beats Luxury, beats Bisu and takes TWO games off Jaedong. Luxury beats Zero and Jangbi? That's nowhere near as hard.
The fact they played each other in and Fantasy won should make the decision even easier.
