Close But No Cigar
 Bogus
Excellent non-TvT play, terrible TvT. Has had the misfortune to go against so many ridiculous opponents. Amazing games, but oftentimes can't win when needed.
 Jaedong
This has been the first time since July of 2007 that Jaedong hasn't been on the Power Rank. And, all favoritism aside, I really wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, one jaw-dropping game does not an appearance on the Power Rank make.
Last
He's shown somewhat that he can play TvP, but his last two TvT games have been bad. It seems that Last is only good when controlling the tempo, and doesn't respond well to pressure. And his TvZ is terrible.
Light
Light's plight is kind of like Bogus': lots of tough opponents, one bad matchup, one phenomenal matchup, and because of these factors he's slightly negative.

WTF!!! JAEDONG!!!!!!!!!!
But yay! Flash still #1 but...
JAEDONG!!!!!!!!!!
Damn... we need OSL to start like NOW!

Jaedong will easily get back on if he continues his form as when he was doing donuts around Modesty (my friend that doesn't even know much about pro BW was in amazement at the colony block)
Last and Bogus have a chance of getting up there if they can start getting favourable matchups. Same with Leta, he's CJ's best player at the moment so it's a travesty that he's not being fielded.
I also expect greater things from Jaehoon
And Bisu will be back again

Nice write-up  Thanks.
|
i admit jaedong was off form this month but taking him off the pr? seems excessive no? i mean if u put him vs most players on the list i'd say he is favorite
|
I lurk here most days.. and have done for years with the odd comment... but I could lurk no longer at this.
it is a joke that you have taken Jaedong off the rank.
hes not 100% and maybe not even 75% the tyrant granted but still hes way better than most on this list.
Over Reaction much, when you consider there have been times when hes dipped like this before to come back and destroy flash when no one else could.
Jaedong You are still Number 1. You just need to get over this t8 bump.
|
Where is Jaedong? He doesnt deserve to drop out of the ranks. He should definitely be rank 7 thru 8.

The Flash vs Stork game is the most high level play i have seen in quite a while. Stork played tight as hell, still Flash won. If this game proves anyting it's that Flash truly can't be beaten.
|
I think Jaedong is currently underrated.
I'm not complaining that the new power rank is finally out! Please keep up the pace for as long as you can, beloved flamewheel!
I'm very happy that Brave is getting recognition for his excellent results last month. Congratulations to him!
I hope the map revisions will give zergs the chance to dominate like they did last season. They are too weak this season and I want to blame the maps!

While I'm pained to see JD off the rank, I have to agree...he just wasn't up to par in January. The loss to Flash was baaad. I mean, sure it's Flash, but JD had beaten him four times in a row, and this time it wasn't even close. And of course losing to (shudder) Canata...Thankfully he's 3 for 3 this month, so let's wish him a speedy return to the PR.
Yes, Brave is a Bloody Ridge/Chain Reaction specialist, but he really has two great matchups. His PvT appears to be ridiculously bad, but that's kind of hard to test when you manage to avoid the matchup THIRTY-TWO FRICKING TIMES IN A ROW, including all of 2011. How in the world...?

11 comments, seriously?
Please keep this up, despite the (seemingly?) lack of attention. PLEASE!
|
It feels like such a joke that Jaedong is of the ranking after his two last games.

I wouldn't say there is lack of attention. I for one prefer just to read and not post on PR

i ts always like that
whenever they rank him low he's like a new man
thats why i dont care what they rank him
should be better once the individuals will start
more sample of games and much less time for practicing
he peaks in those times

The issue is that the PR commentary is split between the News section, the actual PR section, and the Power Rank thread.
If Teamliquid was actually concerned for how active the PR seemed, they would remove two of those things.
ZerO is STILL UNDEFEATED on Electric Circuit, even after the map revision. I'm sure he'll replace Jaehoon on next week's PR.
|
If the TL staff still gave a damn about Broodwar, the power rank would still be on the sidebar.
|
Flash's music really is suitably epic for him, I get chills whenever I see Flash in the booth with it playing.
P.S. Bring back the PR to the right sidebar, what's the point of even having those joke foreigner Elo ratings there anyway?
|
10/3 now. What are they waiting before making PR for March?
It seems that people are going to abandon Brood War in 1 or 2 years.
