EPTaren't you one of the ones that argues about recency bias? you don't get it both ways. You either accept that recency bias will show up in rankings, or you acknowledge that POWER means raw power or skill of a player which means a player of flash's caliber will automatically rise up even if he hasn't been the most active.

Mini got into 2 finals in 2 consecutive tournaments, in terms of results that trumps Flash's 'sponsored match victories' by all measures of 'power' Seriously, a POWER ranking spot for any player that has proved nothing in more than 2 months is really counterintuitive and a temporary ranking based on nostalgia for anyone is just... really biased. God is never irrelevant. | ||

I have to call into question he intent of the statement you're making when you seem to rarely, if ever, post on the TL BW forum. It reeks of BW vs SC2 messaging and I find it somewhat inflammatory. Rain was a great BW player before SC2, as Qikz points out. So was Soulkey. | ||

Calm being considered top 10 would be laughed out of court in Korea LOL Hm in retrospect Calm being top 10 was a bad choice. And the TL power rankings are really just the Ty2 rankings at the moment (for the last few). | ||
