CBNC
Luxury - Despite poor individual league performances, Luxury has lead KT through a great first three weeks of Proleague. Along with Flash, he has made sure that his team has stayed at the top of the rankings, and in doing so has gone 5 - 1, tying with Calm for 2nd place so far this season. Certainly, this twin is not playing spectacularly, his OSL loss to Guemchi showing this better than ever. As an invaluable arm of one of PL's top teams though, he snags a CBNC position with ease.
Pusan - The Legend of the Fall hype aside, Spirit Toss has had a mixed month. Breezing through his OSL group with ease, he then fell in the MST to Jangbi. With wins against Forgg, Canata, Best and Mind though, it's clear that Pusan is very much on his way back to some semblance of form. If he continues to do well in the OSL, and maybe gets played a bit more in Proleague, he just may end up on the PR in the months to come. In fact, one could safely say that the only thing keeping him from a top ten spot right now is the lack of a big name win.
Movie - Probably the most hyped Protoss since Violet, Movie came under the spotlight during the PL playoffs last season where he pulled an amazing win against Leta. This season he blazed through individual groups, but doesn't make the PR because his his biggest win was against hero in the OSL Ro36. To be fair, maybe it's not his fault that he hasn't had a chance to prove himself against a top calibre player yet. All the same, his 1 - 3 PL record puts him on par with firebathero, which in turn makes it very difficult for him to be even considered for the PR this month.
Zero - While Kwanro's move to Stars was expected to boost their Zerg lineup, it was Zero who really stepped up this month as his counterpart failed. With wins against Jaedong, Stats and Bogus this month, he kept the ball rolling for Woongjin and if his OSL win had been against anyone but firebathero, he may have even had a chance of making it on to the PR this month.

Thanks!
Edit: Flash's record for October is 10-0 though, isn't it?
|
Fantasy started off the month with a really bad game against Stats on Destination. I'd like to say his form improved thereafter, but truth be told it didn't, and his three position drop is clearly indicative of this.
Fantasy only dropped two positions. Otherwise, great power rank!

Sorry, there was um, an issue with a dropdown box that has now been resolved. Don't worry, it was given a severe speaking to.

Meh...
How can you put  Kal above Movie? Just because he has got two more PL wins? Their MSL groups were both easy. And Movie crushed ZvP monster  by.hero.
Movie is in the OSL Ro16 while Kal failed against Just...

Finally Flash is back where he belongs

This PR actually pretty accurately tell people who is the better player now.
Good ratio of counting results + watching their actuall skill.
Well done!
Zero just recently started playing really good but that will count for next PR:D

This is how I'd justify it: Kal won the games he should win. Movie lost to Pure. I'm impressed by the win against by.hero, except that Movie has a reputation for coming up with solid builds and wins against Zergs. (And I don't like by.hero, that too. He's a one-matchup wonder who lacks consistency even there.)
My candidate for #10 would actually be ZerO this month, games against Leta aside. But hey.

This.
Imho, if we were to make this PR from results, and not from how good we know they are, bisu and fantasy do not belong that high. Same goes for Jaedong.
Also, "Jaedong has to put his way through October if he wants to stay this high"... Typo @ October?
|
Good PR, with some good calls that you probably wont regret the next months, putting Shine/Hyuk higher and youll get hit by raging screaming fanboys as soon as they make a quit exit in the individual leagues, and if they prove they are the real deal, they simply move up, thats how the PR always worked. I really liked how you dealt with it, no10 is truly subjective although kal wasnt on anyones mind but Pusan/Movie/Hwasin were. Nothing to complain about here.

2nd sentence of flash's description - i think you meant "led," not "lead."
and anyway, always look forward to each month's power rank. i knew this one would be interesting.
thanks!

Nice PR
I don't think Jaedong is ranked too high, his performance last month was mediocore and some of his losses were BO loss ZvZ's
But then again, I would have placed Calm #2 and JD #3

Fixed misc typos. Thanks for pointing them out.

Jaedong should be out of PR. I thought PR measures only 1 month. And this month every CBNC was better than Jaedong.

Power Rank is a measure of how well the players play over the given month. I forget who said it, but someone said "if these players were to play a bo5 against each other on the given day, the #1 power rank should beat them all". Basically, it's a measure of the players' current shape and results over time, with the current results being weighted more.

Well JD is already qualified for both leagues and that shouldn't be counted against him with being 3 - 3 this month 2 - 3 ZvZ he shouldn't drop that much maybe you can argue for Calm being # 2 but after that who else should take the third spot if JD isn't third ? On the other note he apsolutely destroyed Kal showing his ZvP is in top form and while his ZvT hasn't been tested there is no evidence that it declined last month . His biggest loss if you ask me is against Huyk who is in his best form right now . JD went 1 - 1 against Zero winning the important ACE match and had a BO loss against 815 so not much else to say about his ZvZ other then it's not as invincible as before . His stats doesn't show much here when we are talking about back to back reigning OSL champion JD .

PR is supposed to be a ranking of the 10 best players in Korea. Riptide looks at the games played over the month and evaluates them - results don't matter so much - more of how the games played out. For instance, a 2gate proxy loss doesn't change much but losing a standard game in humiliating fashion does. Still count as a loss - just one is more indicative of skill than anything else. Results are a good starting point, but can only give a piece of the picture - if you wanted a ranking based on results look at the elo rank or the kespa rank - PR isn't a rehash of either.

I really liked this ranking, if I made one it would look about the same.
