50% of this month's power rank is "new" players. Guess SC2 is pretty volatile after all lol.

That all happened after this Power Rank was made, as was Fantasy losing to First the way he did. That's why it wasn't included. I'm pretty sure if this was written after the Fantasy-First game, Fantasy would've been slightly lower than he is now.

I'm comfortable with the first 8, but it feels a little awkward tacking on Polt and Taeja at the end for winning Homestory and MLG...but what can you do.

Yeah, because Taeja, Polt and MVP play so many games in Proleague. Bomber played four games against Koreans in June, going 2-2. Even against foreigners, he only went 4-2; including a loss to Catz, who is 2-9 against terran.

I don't know if Flash deserves to be 3rd. Too many games I see from him are truly bad, like against Innovation in OSL. I found Rain performing better in the OSL, the games looked much cleaner. But it's a though choice.
I had a good night of sleep.

One game was a pure build order loss and the other he just made one big miscalculation that cost him the game.

Most of the rankings are good or acceptable to me, however, I just don't see MVP being in 8th place. At the very least, I feel he should have placed 7th or 6th. The "mistakes" of Fantasy should be blatantly obvious that MVP should have placed higher than him because MVP only looses to your top 5 players! His games are virtually flawless, and the only way they can beat him, is when they play at their 110% best! Think about it, when the top players play against MVP, they KNOW they have to bring their A+ game, because he just doesn't make mistakes! The mistakes that Fantasy made would be punished to the max. I just don't see Fantasy being stronger than MVP. Also, dropping down to 5 SCV's, did you actually watch that game? NOBODY would have bet a cent on MVP coming back from that deficit! To begin with, his opponent didn't make mistakes until the end when he started panicking when he realized he had lost the match, MVP just played the most incredible game, going into overdrive and that just goes to show his pedigree! If there was any mistake to be made by his opponent, it's that he underestimated MVP, and I think you do too!

Also, I should have liked to see some mention of MC, even though he's hit a slump, some mention of his current status would have been nice!

Taeja does play in Proleague and Polt just won a tournament. Plus MVP did really well in the season finals.

Perhaps. He also had a few big wins in PL including that ridiculous comeback against a certain Protoss on that list. Good thing you boys and gals will be seeing it updated every month so stay tuned.

We can't afford to place that much trust in Bomber, but we love him all the same.

In May and June combined, Taeja played three games in Proleague, going 1-2. Wait, so what you're saying is that if people show good results, they can be on the power rank regardless of if they're in Proleague or not? Wow, shocking.

I don't know about this Power Rank in general. Personally I love lists and I really like the debate surrounding it which can be a perfectly healthy discussion. However SC2 is still in development and to determine who's better than who is nearly impossible (volatile game). Just look at last week. Number 1 INnoVation dropped a map to Jaedong (who's no ZvT walkover I admit), number 3 Flash getting 2-0'd by Mini, N.4 Rain having an horrible week losing two mirrors versus Pigbaby and First. I say maybe a monthly edition of who had the best performances during that month. For instance First is doing great and he should definately get mentioned, but if he's "the best or the most powerful", I don't know, I think he needs to be more consistent for a longer period.

My two cents

There were such fluctuations in Brood War as well - Flash losing to M18M twice, or Fantasy derping out every now and even being sent to the B team temporarily after a string of bad performances. Power Ranks were also rather subjective and "feely" with only a basic foundation in results. Monthly power rank can stay pretty stable even if the player has an off-day or an off-week. I think SC2 is stabilizing in that regard.

The only problem is that there isn't an unified structure to the competition that there was in Brood War. Even WCS doesn't do that for Starcraft 2 - it doesn't matter if you call everything a "WCS" if the scenes are still fundamentally fragmented and there is no truly unifying league that everybody competes in. Still, that only affects Koreans competing in foreign events, and doesn't concern players like First (who I believe should break into the lower ranks in the next edition).
