I think Hwasin should be a little bit higher than number 10. | ||

Firstly Jangbi IS NOT champion material, a guy who just win games and plays well, makes it to semis, or even to a final does not have to be 1st, no matter what. Secondly Leta is a beast and he's on fire indeed, so his 2nd place might be justified BUT Leta is very good at winning 1 or possibly 2 games. Now that the SLs are approaching bo3 and bo5 and the PL switched to all-kill format he will have to step up to that, and i don't think he's capable. Furthermore JD should be switched with Flash he's just as good as him in PL, he's in both leagues just as Flash, got the second spot in the MSL grop just as Flash did, AND HE IS 2-0 against Flash in their recent games. Notable players Flash beat recently(nonmirror): Free. And in that game free wasted the greatest lead he could have in 2 minutes. Notable players JD beat recently(nonmirror): Fantasy, Hwasin, Bisu, Skyhigh, Flash... JD dropped some games he shouldnt, Flash lost to every high caliber opponent (Stork, Bisu, Jaedong) Bisu on 5th? After he was clearly nr 1 for more than a month, and due to the lateness of the PR he dropped 4 fucking spots, that just looks unfair. Anyone who would have made the PR yesterday Bisu would have got fist rank. And screwing up his OSL group 1-2 he dropped so bad... *Sigh*... God... | ||

Sure, if a good player drops out of MSL/OSL, it will hurt his resume but good games come from starleagues as well, you can get opponents just as skilled. I don't think Jangbi was a good choice for #1, he's shown positive results but I'd definately put Leta above Jangbi unless Jangbi wins GOM finals or something. Jangbi is not going to win any leagues, you heard it here first It's entirely likely that Bisu will crush Jangbi in the GOM final. That doesn't mean Bisu can get away with playing like a little chobo and making a quick exit from the two biggest leagues. Jangbi has been a consistant semifinalist in MSL over the last few seasons, and has wrecked every opponent he played in GOM. I don't like Jangbi, at all, but there's just no reason to put anyone above him. It looks wierd, I know. It IS wierd. Players don't always play up to their potential. We can't put someone above Jangbi just because 'they are soooooo good', especially if they've been losing games in terrible form. | ||

Yeah, if the Rank came out a few days ago, Bisu would have been #1. It's late, I know, I'm sorry. It's pretty hectic in FakeSteve's world lately I don't think it'd be right to put Bisu at #1 simply because if the Rank came out on time he'd have it. This needs to be up-to-date when it comes out, or the whole thing is moot. Again, sorry it's late. If Bisu had played well, though, he'd have retained his spot. Don't go blaming me! | ||

Jangbi hasn't had a single good opponent or a SL game and you put him over seeds and a guy who's broken necks and records, and fans hearts. The guy breaks shit vs a scrub crusher. =( GJ Jangbi, you beat Pepe, go claim the #1 PR Well excuse me for Leta , Hwasin , Kal , Really and Zero being scrubs .... At least now i have more faiths of JangBI makeing it out of group similar to Bisu's who couldn't even beat Zero . Notable players that Bisu killed are Flash , Effort and Pusan , but at least JangBI didn't crash and burn out of 2 leagues in 1 week . | ||

Also maybe Effort , Mind , kal , Zero , ForGG some other notable players ... you can think of like lux , Sea , Hiya , Upmagic haven't been doing that bad , your choice . It's fun when there is more to read in the CBNC . Zero did manage to beat Jaedong in ZvZ so thats always a great boost in performance even if he was lucky with the BO or whatever and he also made it out of his group in MSL . | ||

God... did you know they gave a new nickname to Jaedong in Korea? Its "My city is now like the North" (이제동네북) Jaedong may have been performing better than before, but don't forget he was in a slump many thought would destroy his career. Right now, the numbers on the PR don't mean shit because everyone has been doing fucking terrible. | ||

No idea what that new nickname is supposed to mean, though. The only explanation I can come up with seems really wierd. | ||

Anyway, that's kind of an old 'new' nickname, they started calling him 이제동네짱 (neighborhood bully) after he won the queen game vs Fantasy, and now people are back to debating how good he is. | ||

So I guess the only reason that there is no July is he isn't in leagues while Yarnc is? | ||

That, and I'm probably a little harder on July because I love him. I think there needs to be some real progress made, not just some ProLeague wins (which are nowhere near on the scale of Leta's ProLeague wins), for July to return. | ||
