CBNC (more like players who have shown promise, but are still losing way too much):

ForGG/Jangbi. Both did respectably in WL and have made it into the OSL/MSL respectively. They have the potential to do well this season since both of them are starting to return to form after a long slump. Time will tell if that actually transpires.

Alright, tear me to shreds for putting Jaedong at 4.

There's a typo in Sea's descriptions:
So why is Sea about Jaedong?
should be
So why is Sea above Jaedong?

I love the way you describe it as Jaedongs box like he inhabits it and makes it his home.

I dont think anyone should mind JD's low spot this month. His ZvT has been abysmal and quite bad this month(heck even killer showed stronger ZvT in his game vs Light). Sea and Light have been playing really strong and deserve their spots. However, these are courtesy undeserved monthly spots, and they generally drop out pretty quickly every time this was done in the PR. I appreciate that you realize this and that you even mention it.

I really enjoyed reading this month's Power Ranking, Plexa, and I agree with you fully on that. In particular, I like the way you describe Jaedong's situation... I guess a lot of us are still hopeful for the Tyrant.

Enteritis isn't really a long-term health thing is it? I was under the impression that it was a <1 week type of thing.

Evidence that (T)

Light should be number 2 haha:

Q: You were a big part of the win today by beating (T)

Light

Violet: Although I only took out 1 player, I believe that he is worth about 3 players. I’m trying to make myself feel better that way (laughs). Honestly, I wanted (Z)

HoeJJa to beat him before coming here today. I didn’t have enough confidence and I wasn’t confident in my skills as well, but once I stepped onto the stage, I wanted to play. I want to beat a strong player. If I can just recall that moment, I think I can do well in future games as well. I’ll practice hard.

I can tell that you wrote this pretty quickly and it's rather good.
I totally agree with the rankings and I and I am very happy to see so many Terrans taking up the top spots.

You spelled Woongjin wrong in Kal, Kwanro and Free's description.

But you're totally right about Jaedong, he's been looking off form lately and I am hoping to see him regain his health soon.

I beleive both Sea and Light would be able to take on Jaedong in his current form and win convincingly.

Where? a single game in proleague or a best of five in an individual league?

I agree with all the placements pretty much. Not sure about Kwanro but on the other hand it is hard to think about anyone who could take his spot. In the second half of March there were just too few games played...

So the decision to rank Light/Sea > Jaedong is because Jaedong is likely to have a worse April than those two?

light really dont deserve so high rank . my god ..
sea is better than light for sure and easy .
kal should be higher , same for baby .
jaedong spot is discutable , he played beautiful level against Roro and hyuk .

"Flash is accomplishing what Jaedong could not - he is removing any doubt what so ever that he is the best. "

THIS is very unfair to jaedong .

the accomplishements of jaedong are differents from flash , but not weaker .
he manage to win 3 2 from 0 2 in a OSL final against the top terran at the time and this terran had an invincible strategy against zerg .
he manage to win flash during his top form dont care of the poweroutage thing .
he has the crasiest , the more unreal record in SC history . he had 80% ratio in zvz , THE match up which its the most difficult to do it .
he had more titles than flash , ( more OSLs , more MSLs , WCG , seoul esport festival .. )
he has really good stats on proleague since 2006 . i dont think flash has better stats on proleague overall .

flash IS the best right now , there is no doubt about that . but saying that he has become better than jaedong could ever be is really really unfair to jaedong .

It's amazing that sea and light are #3/2 respectively, and even more amazing that I agree with it.

Nice PR. What I would like to see is a comment about Hwasin in CBNC or I would have loved seeing him on the rank.

Both the facts but also the "spirit" count for him. Facts are that he's a dual leaguer, having already passed his Ro32 group in the MSL: So he's Ro16 in the MSL and won against Movie in a good match in OSL Ro16. The spirit thing is that I feel Hwasin is doing something different this season - I cannot quite put my finger on it, but there seems to be more determination than usual.

So, what do you think?
