Jaedong

1 |
Jaedong's been hot lately. He went nearly undefeated in WCG, only dropping one game to BeSt. There's not much else to say about him. |
| 2. |
BeSt[HyO]
(P) (stats) |
+5 |
2 |
It seems after his 0-3 loss to July, BeSt is back. He may have dropped a series to the #1 Zerg in the world and was knocked out of the MSL, but there is still no doubt this man is the best Protoss in the world right now. |
| 3. |
Flash
(T) (stats) |

1 |
Flash and BeSt are so close right now skill wise and statistically that it was a difficult decision to place one above the other, but BeSt has been out performing Flash by a very small margin. Flash showed strong play in the OSL but his play was dismal in WCG. Hopefully he picks up his play. |
| 4. |
Stork[gm]
(P) (stats) |
- |
1 |
Stork has been great lately, he crushed his opponents in the MSL and the OSL and despite losing to Jaedong in WCG he managed to take down Much and fOrGG. Stork is really hot right now but not hot enough to break the top 3 yet. |
| 5. |
Much[gm]
(P) (stats) |
- |
4 |
Despite Much's recent statistics he's been playing great. He took down fOrGG and Flash before hitting a rough patch but even while losing he's losing with style and showing great play all around. So he gets the 5th spot on PR. |
| 6. |
fOrGG_V_
(T) (stats) |
-5 |
1 |
fOrGG_V_ has hit a bit of a rough patch lately but he's not losing to any scrubs (yet). Much and Stork are amazing PvTers so dropping a series to them isn't to terrible. But he needs to pick up his play to remain on the PR. So he's at 6th for now. |
| 7. |
Sea[Shield]
(T) (stats) |

1 |
Sea is doing great, he's had a couple of bumps along the road in August but he is in both leagues and took down Pure, HerO, and Hades (none of which are scrubs). This is worthy of 7th on the chart. |
| 8. |
Fantasy
(T) (stats) |
- |
1 |
Fantasy is in both leagues, he took down NaDa twice and is currently 1-0 in the OSL Ro16. He's not had enough results to be ahead of Sea but he's getting there. He get's the 8th spot. |
| 9. |
Luxury[GsP]
(Z) (stats) |
-4 |
2 |
Luxury's been having a rough patch lately. He was knocked out of the MSL and lost in his best MU to Jaedong. But he's still in the OSL and still has one of the best ZvZ and ZvT out there. That being said Luxury is in the 9th spot. |
| 10. |
Leta
(T) (stats) |
-4 |
1 |
Leta's been on a beastly streak the past couple months. He's become OGN's star Terran in PL, he's in the MSL after taking down Shuttle twice. He's not had many games this month so I can't put him higher but he still deserves to be on the PR. |
|
Close but no cigar:
Midas, he's been great lately but he's not done enough lately to make the rank. If he does well in the OSL he'll definately have a spot.
Ruby, he made the MSL after taking Kwanro and Calm, both skilled Zergs. If he does well in the MSL he might make the PR like Midas.
Thezerg, he's hot but not as established as the others on the list but if he keeps this up he has a sure spot on making it next time.
Edit: I'm silly, I forgot Thezerg he definately deserves mention^^.
Note: I'm just taking over for Steve this time so don't lynch me. The King will be back soon!

I agree with all your decisions though your PR lacks personality, and it's shorter, which leaves me with a twinge of sadness, but your placement is awesome.
I'm glad to see Jaedong @ number 1 after so many months where that spot was snached right before the month ended.

Good Power rank. Well done.
|
I disagree with Stork being so high - but I'm pretty sure thats only because I don't like him. Good Job!
|
Good power rank, thanks deadvessel

Stork had an awesome August. He's got his work cut out for him this month, though. He lost to Sea in the all-star game and now faces him in both the MSL and OSL groups!
Thanks for taking on the Power Rank while FakeSteve gets things worked out!
|
Best at #2. Seriously he didn't just get knocked out of the MSL he got knocked out first round (I hope I am right). There is a big difference between Jaedong who lost to han in the finals of his group, and Best who once again got KOed in the first round he played (he had a bye). And the guy didn't even win the group Nal_keke did, he didn't even qualify for the MSL..
|
Stork! Very well deserved.
|
Where's July? He couldn't have been doing badly enough to miss out on even the "close but no cigars". Could he?

He won against the Rock twice, Luxury once, and Jaehoon once. That shows he can win ZvP against B-level protoss, which accounted for about 80% of his matches in the OSL, meaning he has a lot of practice against protoss. He also lost twice against Luxury, once against Thezerg and once against Flash which means his other matchups are not so good. so that's why
|
July's play has been dismal since his trouncing of BeSt. Beating Rock in a series ZvP does not warrant making PR or CBNC.

Backho!
BACKHO!!
BAAAACKHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
|
Bisu deserves CBNC at least I think for the win against Much and taking bo3 against Iris.
|
Nice Power Rank, GJ DeadV.
|
Looks good. I would put JulyZerg, Bisu and Backho somewhere near the bottom though, rather than those new guys.
|
Ionno about fantacy or much but cant argue too much about it
|
You said it like luxury losing a zvz to only person with better zvz in the world was all that much of a demerit to him.
|
yay. thanks for the update.
however, i would like to point out that though luxury lost his best matchup (65% zvz), he played against jaedong (80% zvz)
|
Boring PR
I have nothing to disagree with
