 I'm just so glad to see Flash back at No1 that I'm not even gonna bother arguing about the other picks. For now...On November 02 2009 00:17 fanatacist wrote: Very agreeable rank. Thanks. Happy birthday! | ||

Yes he played kind of badly. But he doesn't have a losing record and he's still a favorite in a Best-of-5 against almost anybody not on the PR and some who did make it (hi, Kal, fantasy). I think he's a little too high (I'd put Calm over him and maybe Stork, but then I'm a Stork fanboy) but I'm not ready to argue with him making the PR - yet. If we get another bad month out of him, then I'll consider it. | ||

And I'm calling you out for having a Terran icon and SKT1 icon as bias. He didn't play "crap", but "mediocore" and you noobs exaggerate his slump like no tomorrow. Losing in ZvZ is not big of a deal, we all know ZvZ is most luck-based rock-paper-scissors MU | ||

I thought that their recent games in the SPL finals would at least add on to the fact that they played a decent series previously, but I guess haters will always be haters. I would agree to putting Calm above Jaedong, but not Stork. | ||

Edit: I should say that the rest of this rank looks pretty spot on. At first I was suspicious of Shine > Hyuk, but I checked out their recent opponents and I think that placement is totally justified. Nice rank overall, riptide. | ||

But seriously,  Kal at #10? Kal has gone 5-2 with his best win against go.go, and two crushing losses against Jaedong and Really. Pusan has gone 6-3, beating Canata, forGG, Mind, and BeSt in the process - four players who are better than anyone Kal faced.  RuBy has also gone 6-3, beating Hwasin, Yellow[ArnC], HiYa, and Pure. Both of these two players have combined similar records to Kal, against better opponents, and looked much more impressive doing it. I don't understand  Jaedong at #2 either. We all know that Jaedong is a monster, yes, but his ZvZ has looked shaky of late, I don't see how you can get around that. He's had an awful month, I thought putting him at #5 would be charitable. And of course, I think that EffOrt should be way higher for the dominating month he's had.All of the big four except for Flash had real problems this week, and yet EffOrt, after tearing through all of his opponents save Hyuk only moves up one spot? I also thought it stramge that Calm was demoted, not as I thought for his glaring loss to RorO, but because his ZvP looked "shaky" against SangHo. An auxillary reason yes, but the main reason? | ||

Guess this month really shows how good you are riptide. If Jd wins much your a genious, if not, your a fool. High risk, high gain. Uh the PR isn't a prediction it's an assessment of the current situation. There is no risk or gain because he is just a guy making a ranking of who HE THINKS are the top 10 players on the scene. | ||

JD should drop to 5 or s.th. like that. Effort should exchange spots with fantasy, Eff. looked a lot better than fantasy lately. Also Hyuk should be ranked higher: Everyone who has followed the scene during the last 4 month in which Hyuk went 37-7 (holy shit!!), might notice that this is the biggest rise in the history of SC since iloveoov came along... | ||
