1. Jaedong- No reason to move him down after advancing from his MSL group. It is funny how my top 2 are not in the OSL. 2. ForGG- Moving him down from 1 to 6 last month was a mistake. So what if he lost to Much 1-2 and lost to Stork in WCG. He was still winning games beating players like Hwasin, Bisu, and Shark. He should've been 2 last month and after rolling his MSL group he deserves the 2 spot. 3. Stork- This guy is on fire and is in both leagues. He is like 16-3 in his last 19 or something crazy like that. Idk if Stork playing in his best form can be stopped before the finals. 4. Best- Yes, you took care of business and 3-0'd your crappy OSL group. You will still keep a high spot for taking care of business. You play Midas in your first big PvT series I believe. It should be a good one. Best definitly has potential to move up if he goes on an OSL run like last seasons. 5. Flash- Going 3-0 against the group of death in the OSL was really impressive. Those two games against Yarnc were not. Yes, Yarnc is good at zvt, but champions don't go out in the round of 32. Flash should be able to beat GGPlay, which will set up an interesting series vs Mind or Fantasy. 6. Bisu- Ok, I am biased and people are probably gonna say this is too high, but hear me out. He was able to make it through the group of death by making it through the tiebreaker of death. Much and July zvp are very difficult opponents to 2-0. Honestly, he looked really good in those tiebreakers. He has yet to play his MSL group. Oh yeah and about top from Stork being unbeatable? If Bisu plays in his top form I think he can beat Stork and advance. 7. Fantasy- I think you have impressed everyone on your first big stage this OSL. First the 2-1 over Nada, then taking down Sea, and finally sealing the deal against Backho. He is also in the MSL still. With his TvT skills, he should be a favorite over Mind. The only reason I put Bisu ahead of Fantasy was because Bisu's group was much harder imo. 8. Midas- He was on cbnc last month and he delivered in the OSL by advancing. He looked impressive against Luxury and Thezerg. Unfortunatly, he is not in the MSL. He now has a big series against Best, which I believe he is very capable of winning. If he can win that he will likely be up near the top of the rankings like during the first months of the power rank. 9. Jangbi- The only other player not in the OSL on my rank. He has been damn impressive lately. Light cheesed him out of the OSL, which was very unfortunate, but he rolled through his MSL group. His pvt has always been very good, but now that his pvz is looking very good and his pvp is improving he is definitly a major contender in this MSL. I also predict him making the finals of Blizzcon before losing an epic series to Idra for the title. 10. Mind- You sucked losing to Zero in your survivor group, but did advance in the OSL. This 10 spot is basically a gift because no one else deserves it. You did beat Midas and Thezerg, but that was through cheese and what many people call an imbalanced map. You probably need to beat or at least have an close series against Fantasy if you want to hold this spot. CBNC: Sea and Much- You are still in the MSL and looked ok in the OSL, but got knocked out. Just not good enough to make the power rank though. Luxury and Leta- Now that both of you are not in MSL or OSL you can't get a spot. Thezerg- You definitly left a good impression and impressed a lot of people this OSL. You'll be back sooner or later. FBH- Yes we have not heard from him in a while, but if he can make it past the 3 protosses in his MSL group he deserves a spot. He also ended last seasons proleague on fire. Well I hope you enjoyed this and agreed or agreed to disagree. Idk why I talk in second person sometimes lol. I also think that the GOM tournament should be fairly important once it gets past the prelim rounds since it KESPA sactioned now. However, it is a bit unfair to players on MBC, OGN, and ACE, mostly to Sea. Comment please! | ||

He didnt played as much as all others below him, so I think putting him on the very top for this month is a bit too much. But who is worthy enough to be #1... flash got rick rolled in the msl but destroyed the group of death in OSL. As weird as it may sound Stork deserves to be ranked as number 1. I dont put into question that JD>Stork in any case but if you seek the possible outcome of every encounter between the guys in the PR the hole picture will get messy. To put it simple this month players like BeSt and Stork showed more impressive results than JD You think I just really don't Stork and Best did enough to pass Jaedong, even though they may have been playing the best this month. I still value the performances of the champions from the past couple of months as opposed to the hot players in the group stages, as long as the champions have not gone into some crazy, terrible slump. | ||

He made the winner's match closer than anyone else could've. I agree, those terrans he played knew that they would not stand a chance straight up game with Jaedong and they chose to bunker rush him. Did you see how unbelieveably happy and surprised Frozean was with himself after he beat Jaedong from starting off with a cheese? Jaedong beat a 2 gate proxy with a 12 hatch before. He beat bunker rushes with 12 hatches before. I don't expect him to pull off impossible wins every game, no one is safe from cheeses all the time, no matter how good they are | ||

I understand he isn't in the individual leagues, but I think that is due to nerves more than anything else. He is still a solid player and I think his proleague stats (not this month but other months) should get him in. edit: went and looked at fantasy game again. don't know what I was thinking | ||

Forgive me for being too much of a Flash fanboy, but: Ya real champs don't go out in the Ro32 they go out in the Offline prelims: Jaedong, Best (only mentioned because he is put higher than flash he didn't even win 1 game in the MSL) edit: to=/= too. I can't type this was too=/= too. | ||

While the Jaedong vs Han games were very good, I was somewhat disappointed by the following results Han showed. I guess it's hard to keep the perennial OSL contender Rock out. | ||
