Close but No Cigar
BaBy His form's looking phenomenal... but he needs to learn how to finish games. With not many games played this month, BaBy couldn't showcase his true potential. Therefore, he can only be on CBNC.
Fantasy Had a tough roster to fight this month, but ended on a good note with his wins over Reality and Stork. I wish Fantasy could have held on to his KeSPA ranking, but getting killed by Soulkey's queens twice isn't going to cut it for the PR.
firebathero Though he's 4-4 in the month, the players he have lost against are pretty strong versus Terran. firebathero's still looking pretty strong, though Iris kind of stole his thunder this month.
Light Light had a tough roster for the month, and I liked his wins against BaBy and Fantasy. His games against Hydra were not very impressive, and not having a good showing in the second and third sets against Mind kept him off of PR.
Shoutouts
BeSt Welcome back! And what better comeback victory could be possible?
Grape What a rookie! He's still in the MSL, and has taken out PvP champion Horang2 in the process. He's not looking particularly hot in Proleague though.
Reality This kid's got potential. If you don't believe me, watch his series against Jaedong if you haven't yet--so amazing.
s2 Pretty much this is just for 3-killing KT to spearhead his team's victory in the Winner's League final against KT Rolster. If he had kept it up through the rest of April instead of pretty much losing to everybody, he might make it higher. However, he's still just an SKT Zerg.

I'm a bit disappointed... I mean I knew that Jaedong was going to be #1, but I feel like you haven't really painted how much of a bonjwa he actually is
Movie making a reappearance is always a great sight too.
|
I haven't had time to watch all the games but i can't complain about the PR from what i've seen. Pretty good write up.

Whaaaaat are you telling me that + Show Spoiler + isn't an apt description?

Nice PR! Even though it's a bit delayed, it's alright if the quality is as good as this

I wanted to write a really long and detailed post explaining how the Tyrant has revived himself this month but I think this will suffice.
+ Show Spoiler +EEEEEEEE JAEDONGGGGGGG!!! Hell yes, that is what I want to see!

Pretty good PR, but I have two criticisms:
1.) Light should have been mentioned IMO. I don't know why you think otherwise.
2.) I'd hesitate to give Iris a spot. Yes he went 5-1 but even if you look deeper at the stats... none of his wins were against players over 2150 ELO (none over 2100 vs T), and none of those players are what I would precisely label as "solid" right now. Not to mention that Iris's TvP has been utterly atrocious lately.
Personally I would have put Light at 8 and Iris on CBNC, or else if you have a reason not to rank Light, then Light on CBNC and move Movie to 9, FBH to 10, and Iris to CBNC. That's my take.

I like how this:
equals 200th PL win, beating Flash twice, 2-0-ing the Group of Death, and playing damn entertaining starcraft.
I think we should just change JD's TLPD pick to the above ^^
|
JAEDONG!!!!! Great PR, I was waiting for this to see sweet sweet JD on top again.
|
JD back at the top, fuck yeah!
Would've preferred Flash over Bisu though. =/
|
The Tyrant finally takes back his rightful place at the throne. Jaedong... it's been too long.

As would I, but it will make it all the more pleasant when Flash reclaims nr 1 with a golden badge.

Should have given a shoutout to Anytime for his win :D
Although I wanted Mantoss to win
|
Yay Jaedong! Yay Mind!
Also I agree with Bisu #2 and Flash #3.

Oh, my bad--I forgot to input him for CBNC. He's had a tough roster for the month, and I liked his wins against BaBy and Fantasy. His games against Hydra were not very impressive, and Mind despite playing a very entertaining TvT against Mind in the MSL, Mind kind of killed him in the second and third.
Actually, in retrospect now I kind of do think I could have put him over Movie. I still stand by my choice of Iris though. Call me biased, but you have to admit that it's more impressive when ACE players do well--just consider the lack of practice partners. Since I'm not wont to change the PR after putting all the ranks in, I'll keep him back on the CBNC.

Revival of the tyranny, resurgence of the revolution and the waning of God are always music to my ear. This month has been
|
Leta is not putting in a 6th-on-the-power-rank performance for my FPL.
Woo Jaedong!
|
Not convinced Leta should be so high after seeing him lose game after game in proleague, but I do love Movie's inclusion at #10
|
Great PR as always! I like the way you balance subjectivity and objectivity. However, I don't think that the games that Bisu played against Flash were close: Flash outplayed him imo. But you're probably right in putting Bisu at #2 because of Flash's strange losses recently.
I really think Light should be somewhere on the ranking.
seeing as how Jaedong decided he was going to start being all out of bubble gum again.
I'm so happy that Jaedong is the uncontested #1 this month. It warms my heart. Also that Mind is high on the ranking.
