Taeja's place is actually not surprising. We all know he would get a spot whenever he won another yet another euro tourney
To be fair, people said Supernova were out for good after he dropped out of the GSL just before getting his Nestea award, yet here he is again. If there is one thing you can never say in Starcraft, it's that someone is out for good. Look at July in BW or Mvp in WoL. These guys are good, even when they're not winning.

lol..ok he loses to maru 0-4 and he's not great anymore. I doubt he gets hyped up as much as you think. I think it's his play that speaks for itself.

For the first time I really agree with this list..
I am glad to see more focus on WCS then proleague since that's how it should be.
Also glad to see Flash get knocked out of PR, since all he has been doing is disappoint in WCS..
+ Show Spoiler +Hes still a beast in proleague do.. but i do think that WCS takes more skill.. + Show Spoiler +let the hate train begin :D

why ? Because he lost 0-4 to Maru ? TvT is his weakest matchup, u just made non sense
overall nice article, can't agree any more with this month PR
|
these first months probably was expected to have rly wierd rankings.. gonna need a few months to get it solid.
|
Why not Polt on the list? He's looking very strong recently.
|
sOs doesn't deserve to lose 5 places when he went 7-2 since July started (2-1 Flash at AIMAG and 2-1 Ruin in Code A) 
|
I would switch Rain and bogus

It had less to do with TvT and more to do with Maru cleverly manipulating Innovation's expectations. Maru gambled that he could break Innovation's composure and he succeeded.

Lol, winning is winning. Also did you see his placement matches? He's actually really sick good at macro games too.

Well hes really good but im just saying he doesn't look like number 1, he has a weakness, and thats TvT and Cheese. Hes also lost to best in the proleague playoffs, he wasn't unstoppable. i mean if we take out matchup weaknesses jaedong should be up there

Ok I'll take your word for it over everyone else.

Pretty good overall. Only Maru is a bit of a stretch.
Okay, he destroyed Innovation, but it's not because you win against the #1 that you are automatically promoted that high.
Edit : I don't understand the people who say that Innovation shouldn't be #1. Who would you put instead?

I dont see how you can argue Innovation falling from 1st. So he lost to 2 terrans.
online + offline since July 1st
vZ: In these games, INnoVation is 14–2 (88%) in games and 8–1 (89%) in matches.
vP: In these games, INnoVation is 9–3 (75%) in games and 6–1 (86%) in matches.
vT: In these games, INnoVation is 7–7 (50%) in games and 4–2 (67%) in matches.
oh no! 50%! and over half his losses came in 1 series. so bad!!! /sarcasm
overall: In these games, INnoVation is 30–12 (71%) in games and 18–4 (82%) in matches.
poor guy only won 71% of his maps last month. SLUMP!!
Rain by comparison
vZ: In these games, Rain is 5–3 (63%) in games and 3–1 (75%) in matches.
vP: In these games, Rain is 6–6 (50%) in games and 4–4 (50%) in matches.
vT: In these games, Rain is 12–4 (75%) in games and 5–1 (83%) in matches.
overall: In these games, Rain is 23–13 (64%) in games and 12–6 (67%) in matches.
Rain has been coming on strong towards the end of the month but he still had a meh start. Innovation will still be the odds on favorite going into the S2 finals imo since he beat Rain in their last meeting and Maru/Bomber won't have as much time to prepare. His TvZ is still ridiculously dominant and his TvP is getting close to being the same
