Partially Terran op, partially jd kinda terrible in z vt. Frankly, JD got lucky in those tournaments by avoiding strong T, which by the way there's a lot. I doubt he could make out of Scarlett's group. | ||

In terms of placings, Jaedong definitely did better then taeja, but Taeja did much better vs those opponents (3-2 loss to bomber and polt compared to jaedongs 4-0 losses) | ||

Seriously, with the results like these it looked like "okay we've got these 8 players let's randompick 'em into our chart". Tbh, even Bomber's place on top is a bit shaky with his close series with Scarlett. If it'd be me highlighting a person that'd be definitely Scarlett with her very impressive play. | ||

Taeja has played more games (45-20), has won way more games, and has beaten more top opponents -- granted, most of their major wins were vs protoss, but Taeja has beaten top Protoss convincingly in a match-up that Terrans have struggled in recently. The wins however just weren't at the right juncture of a tournament. All Jaedong has over Taeja are the second place finishes where the 0-4's really hurt him. Taeja lost to the same opponents, but went the distance narrowly losing both 2-3. Maru on the other hand, I would have definitely put Jaedong ahead of. | ||

Scarlett have done way better than both of them in this month, even Naniwa i would agree more than both of them. Bomber first i agree. Taeja 2nd? Why he is there? yeah he show to us amazing games, but he didn't accomplished nothing. JD I would put him perhaps a little better, but is fine. Maru have won WCS korea, but in WCS finals he get crushed, so #3 is ok. And duckdeock deserve more than Parting the #10 but not that much... Please, Pleaaaase get some knowledge of the scene, its (very recent) history (by that I mainly mean players' records and run in tournaments, nothing else) and how seeding is working for the WCS system before saying utter bullshit like this. | ||

That's the last point I have Difficulty? Well as i well remember JD have beaten all the top protoss in the world, Naniwa, First, Rain, opponents who could have beaten any player that taeja have take out. | ||

I have only said that because he was saying soulkey ZvT is better tha scarlett, but i can't agree if that, Scarlett prove that she is one of the strongest players to take the title of the best ZvT in the world as Soulkey can have that title too. And this rank is avaliating the best performances of the month. Are you going to say to me that Soulkey had a better performance than scarlett this month? A lot of players would say no. I'm not saying that scarlett or naniwa are better than soulkey, he did won the hardest tournament in the world, but as I have said before, not this month. | ||

This month, Soulkey didn't lose a serie to anybody else than innovation an a supernova probably at its hottest in a while. That's it. Period. This guy is a rock and has had the most consistent good results on HoTS. And please, if you didn't already, get some knowledge about the current state of TvZ and particularly Innovation v Z. Your comment on innovation 3-0ing soulkey (in close fought fashion imho) was nothing but stupid doucheyness. | ||

(this would be why the only people that are in the power rank are the ones that did well at recent tournaments) This is a bit different from a power rank that's supposed to highlight the best players though. Because when TL did power ranks for SC2 tournaments it was more about the strongest players going into the tournament. ? Power Ranks have always been about results and beauty of play. Since the BW days. | ||

He's talking about the MLG PR we had a while ago and other Sc2 PRs we sometimes had for some events. But in a way, BW PRs used to be more stable, on the one hand BW scene was a bit less volatile but I feel there's also some kind of editorial choices that have been made recently that impacts the stability and overall meaning of the PRs we get now. | ||

maybe he would win against jd but he would not win against players JD crushed... i really hope that taeja is not at no2 just because he is from liquid.. but again, i can't see another reason why he is where he is.. his performance is not no2, not even in a dream.. | ||

Taeja beat Rain, who also lost to JD Do you really think Taeja isn't able to beat Naniwa, First, MC or Jim and Scarlett? He'd be favorite against all of them | ||
