Yeah but that was before the summer started and way before Taeja started looking like he does now. Taeja now looks on another level entirely. Plus both the games JD just won because Taeja didnt wall off the ramp from speedlings not exactly long macro games of JD outplaying him.
Also Taeja definitely deserves to be higher than JD. His only losses were Bomber and Polt (both crushed JD) and he barely lost to both 2-3. He also beat Polt earlier in WCS 2-1. He beat Innovation, duckdeok, and Rain. He basically beat the best player from Europe and America and two of the consensus best players in Korea. (and side note overcame his historically horrible performances against Rain)

Awww, I was really hoping for Taeja at number 1, though I totally understand why he wasn't. His play in the WCS Grand Finals was just sublime. All in all, I find it hard to argue with the ranking this month

While I agree with you that I believe Taeja is above JD for now, I disagree with your reasoning. Taeja's mistakes against Jaedong is a mistake he should've made in the first place and I think he should be punished for it. Other than that, I agree that Taeja had a better month and performance.

Maru so overrated. I'm mostly a Terran fan but tbf Maru's standard play is worse than any top10 Terran. He was just much better prepared during OSL than his opponents, probably due to a coach or teammate. In a setting where you can't prepare that deeply and just have to play solid games he can lose to any shitty player (see WCS finals)
So which of Scarlett and aLive are you saying is a shitty player? Out of curiosity.

No special mention for DRG? Will he make it into the top 10 next one if he makes it to RO8?

I think this was made before DRG played innovation. I dont know if DRG should be in the top 10 but I refuse to believe JD is better than DRG though

I kind of agree with you there. He is only better in ZvZ ? I guess

If only JD did it 11 days ago during the month in question (and despite those wins wouldnt have put him ahead of Taeja anyways).

Looks like we hit a nosedive for Bomber!

This absurd volatility is really killing my interest in sc2. Did an osl winner in bw ever get eliminated in the first round of the next one? Maybe july after beating best? But then it was a miracle that he won that osl.
Without stability it feels like watching professional dice rolling.

I'm with you man, It's starting to get to me too. I fear we'll never have a truly consistent player ever again, Innovation is the closest we've had to one in HotS and he's only won one tournament despite being so good.

Yeah, if only Taeja could make back to back finals on the figurative back of a single match-up and then go 0-8.

jaedong will forever have a weak matchup.

I think its always going to be like this because of just a big combination of factors no one will ever be able to pin down exactly why.
