I have faith enough in fakesteve to not make a comment on Luxury's remarkable performance; undoubtedly I would lose both the argument and my dignity and I admonish all of you to do the same.

ah a great PR. I like the 2 Z's in the top 2, but i have a feeling both Fantasy and Bisu could take down Luxury. Even with a strong MSL win over Jangbi, Lux's play feels too inconsistant.

Best zerg v protoss in the world strat: Build 8+ spore colonies instead of sunkens and get run over by like 15 goons and some storms on 5 base.

It's almost like as soon as Steve said something, Lux had a sudden lapse of retard.

LOL.

I am disappointed in Lux though. Thought he would do much better that, especially the fact that he was in such a strong position. He let all his morphing lurkers melt to storm when he could have just simply cancelled it.

Not my favorite power rank.

Jaedong goes in all slots... or at the very least, the first five.

edit: He played 90% of the games that mattered anyway...

Luxury's decision making vs. Pure was terrible. Pure did nothing but fly around with sairs and a pick off a few stray overlords, yet when he came out Luxury got flattened. The first thing considered and ruled out in the neo-gen protoss era on the zerg side was responding with sunk/spore turtling every base. Protoss macro is too good to rape yourself with 5 early spores and unnecessary sunks on only 4 base. Honestly if that was how he intended to play out a long game, Luxury would have been better off trying another 2 hatch hydra break or 5 pool.

Nova the cool thing that is making his super turtle zvp at least always viable is because he just might 4 pool/5pool/2hat hydra/2 hat muta / 3 hat muta/ling/ 3 hat ling/ 5 hat hydra ect unlike jaedong who allows alot of greedy toss (stork/bisu) to go unpunished luxury is the opposite, he wants to punish protoss not play better =).

Thats at least how I view his recent 4 base -> direct hive type play.

yes that's the only + to lux, however JD also cheeses from time to time..but that's just too rarely.
However JD's ZvP is miles ahead of Luxury's. And I see that FS didn`t argue with any of us who said that ^^

No thing against this rating, but why on earth does it always have to be "MONSTER", "BONJWA", "UNSTOPPABLE" etc when the next month it's someone else who those terms hold true for? No offense, but it's kind of ridiculous.

I think Jaedong is Jesus. 2-4 aren't important.

It's funny how Fakesteve types like Yoda. "...because ZvZ does not a champion make..."

I agree that Jaedong is the best player right now, and that Bisu was the preceding months, but terms like "domination" etc are just exaggerated. There is no such thing in starcraft right now. They dropped games to lots of players, and the margin by which they are better than others is way smaller than the striking wording conveys.

Again, I like the PR and I really do agree with it most of the time, I just sometimes don't like the writing style. :/

What other word would you use to describe a player who is over 80% lifetime in a matchup that has often been described as 'rock paper scissors'? I think "domination" is the right word for Jaedong's current play vs. players like Yarnc - just look at some of Jaedong's one-year statistics and say that 70% winrate across the board isn't dominant play. This is kinda fanboyish, but the numbers Jaedong has, both now and lifetime, are absolutely ridiculous

great to see nada at the number 10 spot.

Jaedong deserves to be at the top of course, because his performance in games 3-5 of the osl were...dominating, to say the least.
