EPTRight when this PR came out, it was painfully obvious it was going to be PL biased, simply based on the number of games there are in PL.
Take it for what it is, and stop getting so worked up about it. lol

Overall, it helps affirm JangBi's place a little bit, but puts some doubts on the others. Dear, soO, and Stats all placed respectably in MLG, but all eventually got chewed up by the open bracket grind. They were comparable to ST_Sound, ROOT_Sage, or Col_TheStC... not exactly the top ESF (or former ESF) Koreans. Even with non-kespa PL regulars like HerO (13-11 in PL) and Jaedong (11-13 in PL) competing, PL members could not prevail over the likes of Polt and HyuN. Too bad Polt is coming from almost nowhere recently, or else he would definitely deserve a higher place. HyuN is in the same boat with almost nowhere to play outside WCS. MVP still looked better in defeat against Innovation than anyone else did and hasn't really lost anything other than that one series. He could be as high as #3. Symbol, KangHo, ForGG, and Bomber can all make cases for inclusion based on WCS. The #1 and #2 seem correct based on the WCS results, but the play for everyone else at the top is still way too close to really give an edge. So, it seems like the PR writers totally biased the PR towards the big name PL guys while a whole host of ESF or foreign team Koreans could just as easily slot in from #3 to #10. | ||

You can't fault the writers for using the numbers that they have, especially in a monthly based ranking system. Really the problem is that GSTL doesn't have enough matches/ESF players don't get as much exposure, rather than with the methodology. It would be weirder NOT to use Proleague statistics. Don't get me wrong here. I understand why but if even TL is going to claim in a mockery statement that eSF can't reach high rank in PR its get annoying. It's bad enough as it is with the whole eSF vs KeSPA shit, we don't need TL to inflame it even further. | ||

I mean I read their reasons for retaining their 4th and 3rd spots respectively but it seems like a little bit of biased to me. Are there any Kespa fanboys out there who can help me see the light? Flash has pretty much locked up most wins in proleague and I think Rain might have the best win % for a person with a large number of games (so excluding anyone that might be like 100% wins 2 games played or something). Rain is either 2nd or 3rd in total wins. | ||

It's so different that you can't really compare someone like Fantasy to someone like Mvp really. | ||

If ESF players dominate this OSL, they will make it onto the power rank. If they have a mediocre performance and play no games anywhere else, they obviously won't. What do you expect? | ||

Yes, they are that good. Rain is the best protoss in the world bar none (although, if First keeps on playing like he is, he may be a contender for that position) and Flash is just Flash. He keeps on beating nubs and sometimes loses. Basically what Flash does in SC2. He is not something extra, like Innovation, he is more like MVP. His strongest point (also Rains, actually) is playing safe macro, sick game sense and willingness to ocassionaly bring some cheese. Seriously, he is almost exactly like MVP - you don't even know why and how, but he just wins with the most basic, safe macro build ever. Well, Flash actually has superior macro to almost any player out there already... Also, if you like high level Starcraft, I would recommend checking out Proleague  They have free 1080p english VoDs on their Youtube, so timezone shouldn't be a problem... Winning shit. ^^ + Show Spoiler + j/k | ||

On topic, nice Power Rank. Personally I would lower Fantasy but this is my opinion. I am not convinced by his play last month. Also I hope that First can continue his great play and appear in the list next time. JangBi YEH! | ||

Polt shouldn't even be there with the way he macro in his final game vs hyun, floating that much minerals.even though winning. He was just ahead of the meta this time with his hellbats maruder and hellion timings. Polt also bombed out of Dreamhack Stockhom earlier, dropping games to Grubby, Huk and Snuffles. Dreamhack Stockholm was in April. | ||
