Jd should off-race as P against lux and beat the crap outta him to show that lux's ZvP is weak compared to his ><

(P)Bisu should be in second and (Z)Luxury in third, other then that no qualms, i am a big (Z)Luxury fan but honestly (P)Bisu is better than luxury, and has been playing better as well.

(T)iloveoov is slowly but surely creating a monster, but overall i think (T)Flash is still quite a ways ahead of (T)fantasy, but that might change, and considering this Last month ( and 10 days... j/k ^ ^) (T)fantasy deserves all the credit he has received.

Have the dark paths of the night life corrupted Flash, maybe that is why Rekrul ( i think he is in Korea again, no?) went back.

The Ranking is nice, wouldn't change too much. Your reasoning for putting Bisu over Fantasy convinces me, wasn't sure before myself.

The write-up however does nothing for me, I got bored while reading it. I guess you just wanted to get it over with.

But that's just me and I am wrong all the time.

Finally someone else recognizes that Luxury's ZvP is amazing. Screw the haters. ^_^

About Luxury being #2 though. It may turn out that the only reason he seemed capable of playing late game against JangBi was because he prepared for that match specifically. If he plays like an ass in proleague (which wouldn't be anything new) and shows that he doesn't actually have a late game, then he doesn't deserve that rank.

I don't expect that though, I'm expecting Luxury to live up to his #2.


His late game ZvP is amazing. If you mean ZvT, that could be correct, it's clearly his worst MU.

people are givin their opinion, and reflect on what the PR poster says. That's the idea, else the PR's forum section would be disabled

Looks pretty accurate to me. Jaedong is definitely at the top and the other players are within plus or minus one rank of each other.

Yes, Zergs dominating the power rank! for the Swarm!
Now in order for my dreams to come true we need only to see July, FakeYellow and by.hero up there too. (maybe + Crazy.Hydra)

I hate to repeat what's been said so many times but I also have to agree that it's a bit silly to call Lux's ZvP best in the world. Not to downplay his MSL win but Jangbi played just as bad as Lux played good. Jaedong and July bother have better (and much more consistent) ZvP, IMO.

I don't argue his #2 rank though. He is a Starleague winner and he deserves it.

I like your explanation of Bisu > Fantasy and agree. Team battles often conclude as such, and Bisu is certainly the better player in my eyes. Looking forward to his performance in the new season/round 4, I feel like I haven't seen him play in forever.

Fantasy played a great final against JD. But I still can't help but wonder... Bisu vs. JD... The final that could have been. :'(

it is bisu's own fault. he dropped the ball against fantasy hardcore.

newayz, i really don't think lux's z v p is better than jaedong. when i think z v p, july, savior in his prime and jaedong... but now z v p? is lux's better than by.heros? better than jaedongs? better than july? probably not.

I agree with all of the rankings but fakesteve is 100% wrong about luxurys zvp. It is still notches below julyzerg. His level of play was not nearly as high jaedongs has been at anytime during the last year, even when jaedong lost to tempest ... Luxury had the sickest map pool of all time ZvP against a finals choker that doesn't compare to jaedong consistently (read all the time) destroying great protoss. Jaedong beat bisu is alot more meaningfull then luxury beating jangbi.

Other then that I feel bad for fantasy, the two players above him he demolished in convincing fashion AND was two or maybe three seconds away from winning the osl. That is rough but the fact is luxury and bisu are better then him. Poor guy.

" SkyHigh is notoriously a player that has significant nerve problems while playing on TV "

WTF????? He is as cold as ice. Did you watch his last all-kill? I can't think of another situation on which a player would be under more pressure.
