But yeah, player like Soulkey would not drop out to the bottom of my power rank just for losing few matches, while he is clearly the best Zerg in the world. Same for some other players, like Rain, sOs or Innovation. On the other hand, players like Maru, who had ONE lucky run, where they didn't even show any too impressive play, would not get anywhere close to my power rank. So to answer your question, dropping to challenger league and failing to requalify would get a player considerably lower, failing to requalify in the next season would drop them out. Not dropping (but not winning) or just requalifying in the shortest amount of time does NOT make you the worse player. Nobody can have 100% winrate (nobody can get even close to that at all). Therefore I don't believe having such heavy emphasis on only this month results can pinpoint the best players in the world, in any way, shape or form. | ||

OT: Have to say all in all i'd agree with this PR, Taeja should be in top 10 alone for that TvT he showed us vs Inno. With him having good games and good results each time over the last month i can see him being number 2. People see Innovation's all kill in the GSTL and forget how far he fell in august, he's still a top terran but his weaknesses were clearly shown last month. Only his TvZ remains something you can't beat, he lost the auro of the other two matchups. I know results don't show it, but i still believe Soulkey is the better zerg between SK and JD. It's just that Soulkey has less chances to prove it. And fair enough JD did improve again and again, even his 0-4 vs Polt was not that bad, he played rather well imo, just never good enough to beat Polt or the TvZ matchup. | ||

 Watching Jaedong getting sent to so many tournaments and improving in every one is so satisfying to watch. It´s like his inner tyrant has been unleashed in this setting. | ||
