Flash (T) (stats) |

1 |
Yes, Flash is still the best player. He's destroying everyone he comes across right now, there is no question that he's the current number one. Its looking like someone will have to dethrone this kid for him to move. |

Jaedong (Z) (stats) |
0 |
1 |
Jaedong is still #2, even though his play lately has been a liiiiiiiiiiittle shaky. Missing out on OSL is pretty bad, but as far as I'm concerned, forgivable. Especially considering that this is the only 'bad' performance Jaedong has had in months. He's still a strong contendor for another MSL title, and as always, a proleague monster. |

Inter.Mind (T) (stats) |
+3 |
3 |
Mind rises because there are no candidates more worthy of this spot. Mind is in both leagues, getting there by the skin of his teeth as is apparently customary. Mind is a great player, a genuine threat in any league he's in right now. |
4. |
Kal (P) (stats) |
+1 |
3 |
Kal's spot this month isnt really 'undeserved', but it wouldn't be fair to say he got this high this month completely by his own hand. A certain other protoss playing like TOTAL ASS has significantly changed the makeup of the top slots. Regardless, Kal is playing pretty good. We'll probably see him go decently far in one of the leagues, but I still don't see a champion. |

Sea[Shield] (T) (stats) |
+5 |
1 |
Sea advanced through his OSL group, qualified for MSL easily, and is currently 3-1 in ProLeague. What more can you ask for? Sea is playing great right now. I wish his TvP would be a little more stable, but Sea is a heavy favourite against any Terran or Zerg that he plays right now, regardless of play style. Can he advance past the round of 16 in the individual leagues? Tune in next month to find out! |

Jangbi (P) (stats) |
- |
1 |
Look who it is! The worst Protoss in the world! Jangbi is a scumbag and a liar, but I GUESS he is playing pretty good. UGH. SIGH.
Really though, Jangbi had something of a breakout last MSL and he's at the top of his game right now. He can be classified as a 'dangerous opponent', and all signs indicate that we haven't seen the best Jangbi will put out. |

Luxury[GsP] (Z) (stats) |
-4 |
2 |
Despite Luxury's massive, massive failure against Stork last OSL, I'm not ready to give up on him just yet. He's 2-0 in ProLeague and currently in both OSL and MSL. We'll see how he performs in the individual leagues again, and then I can move him in either direction accordingly. Right now, all thats evident is that he's playing worse than everyone above him, but with only two games since his awful performance against Stork, its impossible to give him the boot completely. |

Have you checked out this character? Turns out he's pretty damn good. Best is the sort of sleeper that will surprise people in the coming months. He is definitely, at worst, a hazard for anyone in his OSL group. I really like Best's play, he's intuitive and vicious. Welcome to the Power Rank, kiddo. Someone thinks you're good! Hurray! |
9. |
Bisu (P) (stats) |
-2 |
1 |
Maybe if Bisu had MADE IT OUT OF HIS FUCKING MSL GROUP WITH A ZERG AND TWO INSURANCE TERRANS, he'd have a better spot on the PR. Maybe if he wasn't PLAYING LIKE HE BROKE ALL HIS FINGERS WITH A HAMMER, he would have gone farther in MSL. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Bisu sucks right now, but only worse than the eight people above him. The Protoss revolutionist isn't completely out of gas yet, but damn he needs a refuel. |

This spot actually goes to Stork, but it makes me infinitely happier to put some fat dummy on the list instead.
Let me break it down real easy: STORK SUCKS. Stork has sucked for AGES, but apparently only I had noticed. Stork's games the last few months have basically been nothing but a shitstorm of terrible games against Terran. Every game he either gets completely worked, or he does some retarded proxy robo carrier rush extreme dt bullshit that doesn't even work half the time, whether the terran scouts it or not. YOU SUCK STORK. I can't wait for him to get rolled in OSL (but not in MSL because he didn't qualify!) so I can actually drop him for real. |

Close but No Cigar:
Upmagic - Always in consideration, but his results lately haven't been up to par.
Daezang - Oh, how I adore Daezang. Anyone notice what a monster he's been lately? Here's hoping it continues so I can throw him on the PR somewhere.
YellOw[ArnC] - Cloooooooooose, so close, but yeah no cigar. Yarnc isn't doing too well in ProLeague 
Anytime - QUIT FAILING. It hurts me to watch.
Much - Barely scraping by. BARELY. Pick up the pace, grandpa!

So much hatred for Samsung tosses, hehe.
AND GZ MANIFESTO!

I'm with you on Daezang. I really want to see ACE win matches, and lately he has been doing better than Boxer.
|
Boo Jangbi. He got through his OSL group from a DT drop and a proxy robo bay!

Uh, he got into MSL by being a semifinalist last MSL

Man, I really did not see Manifesto7 coming.
What a beast.

If only you could travel to Korea and tell Bisu and Stork that to their faces. Stork is lost without a clue, and Bisu needs to recharge ASAP.
Also, Mind has been a persistent bugger.

The top 4 - sure. The rest, well... It seems you're hating some on a bunch of people and giving some a little too much credit, all just in my opinion of course. Totally agree on the spots of Stork and Bisu who might as well get kicked off the rank right away. This comes off as a little haphazard, but we'll see how it turns out I guess. The past month has been really weird and the only given position looks to be Flash atm, who has been rock-solid since his OSL win.

nice list. i think flash should be higher.

There is definitely a substantial amount of wiggling around that people can make cases for, but I found this to be the most accurate list I could put together. I spent the last week or so with a list saved in notepad moving them around as I pondered things.

I would like to see how July performs in starleagues, but he steamrolled over his qualifying group.

Mani higher than Up, Daezang, Yarnc, Anytime and Much?!
TRAVESTY!

Terrible as usual. Only good for people with bad senses of humor.
No wonder people like Baezzi and teamliquidsucks are so angry at tl.net sometimes.
Really, Bisu played like he had broken fingers? He played pretty damn good. Jangbi is the worst protoss? Sea is playing great, haha. He is a great played. But he hasn't been doing that well. Stork sucks? WTF dude.
Pretty insolent towards progamers in general.

yeah, carlodajin is definitely what i would call a sensible human being whose opinion is to be respected and valued

Manifesto7 should be number #1, besides that i can not argue any point of this PR.

The Rock smashes his way to the top 16.
And soon, the top one.
