Even so, I wish we could have the old rate of PR back. Even in dead months we sometimes had PRs, and those were always still great to read. Everyone understands that we have to take them with a grain of salt. | ||

My thoughts: Flash is the best right now. Again. It's been long enough since Jangbi's OSL win that that doesn't give him first automatically, and Flash, unlike Jangbi, has been destroying everyone in his path, especially Horang2 today. Hydra, Soulkey, Jangbi, Fantasy, and Stats all have variously strong cases for 2nd. Out of these, Soulkey is playing the best, followed by Stats. Jangbi was first last PR and hasn't been bad enough to fall out of the top 5. Fantasy and Hydra are incredibly streaky and it's too early to tell what kind of streak they'll be on. Jangbi and Soulkey would likely get 2nd/3rd in some order, and the rest in the 4th-9th range. None of Stork, Bisu, and Jaedong really are playing like top 3 right now, but they should all definitely be on the PR. Stork had a very poor end to last season that he seems to be recovering well from, Bisu seems to have slipped from his PL monster status of 10-11, and Jaedong has been great except for that bizarre opening day game against Best. Baby has been under the radar a bit but deserves a PR spot for his newfound consistency. Biggest disappointment so far has been ZerO. He was so good towards the end of last season (in PL, not the finals against Flash) but hasn't really done anything this season. Today's game against Jaehoon was ok, the rest not so much. | ||

There is a thread in BW general. Nobody is going there either. I'm a bit hesitant to push SK all the way up to 2nd. If Fanta and Hydra are not going to be considered due to "streakiness" then it has to be pointed out that SK just doesn't have the kind of achievements attached to his name that either of them do. There's still some more time so we should see what happens. I think that everybody has at least 2 more games before the next ranking, and that can mean a whole lot of difference, especially given that with such a looooooooooooong off season we are not only working from somewhat small samples, but don't have the benefit of being able to interpolate based on how a player has been progressing when you expand your view to 2 months or to 3 months. | ||

Stork, Soulkey, BaBy, Flash (all 3-0 or 4-0); maybe fantasy (2-0) & established player. Jaedong, EffOrt, Hydra, Jangbi Stats, BeSt, and sHy! (!) are all sitting at 3-1 as well. Then we have a bunch (Bisu, ZerO, Light, free, Jaehoon, Bogus, Shuttle) of good-to-great players who have so far only gotten mediocre to bad records. Right now my inclination is to leave Jangbi #1 and Flash #2, but after that: Stork, Soulkey, BaBy; then Jaedong, Hydra, EffOrt, Bisu, Stats in some order. But it's a really tentative thing yet. | ||

I think the only thing "diminishing" Flash's aura right now is that KT is not looking very dangerous and there are no individual leagues. Unless either Flash loses or barely scrapes through some horribly scrappy games, I don't see anyone else claiming #1 over him. Most of the reason is that Jangbi's got a residual #1 ranking from the last PR which I don't think a loss to EffOrt entirely erases, especially when Flash has played nobody: his best vs. T opponent was Jaehoon: a quality win, but great's not that impressive and Horang2 is surprisingly weak vs. Terran. Admittedly Jangbi's opponents aren't great either (except for EffOrt who beat him), but unless we're going to blow the whole thing up and start over entirely I think there's nothing conclusive putting Flash back over Jangbi when Jangbi beat Flash (among other things) to take #1. Not that Flash #1 would be a completely illogical choice, but you seem to be defaulting to that position and I'm not sure we've seen enough to prove that's legitimate right now. If we were going to just ignore everything from before and go on this season, I think I'd make it look something like: 1. Stork 2. Flash 3. Soulkey 4. BaBy 5/6/7. EffOrt/Hydra/Jangbi 8/9/10. ... no idea. Pick from Jaedong, Stats, Bisu (I guess), fantasy, BeSt, ...maybe Piano? | ||
