EPT2 Things though, why's Bisu so low and where the heck did GGPlay come from to make top 5?
Power Rank
| Rank | Player | Prev | High | Description |
| 1. |  Jaedong (Z) (stats) |
0 | 1 | The best Zerg player in the world secures his number one spot of the Power Ranking once again, but the gap is closing. He displayed one of the sickest comebacks in his MSL group, beating down go.go and UpMagiC..Although he failed to qualify for the OSL he is still the most feared player around. It's safe to say every player is an underdog against Jaedong. |
| 2. |  Stork[gm] (P) (stats) |
+2 | 1 | Stork, Stork, Stork. The Dinosaur Toss has been ripping things apart in both MSL and OSL. He took down the Protoss rival Bisu on his way to OSL semifinals, while cruising to the MSL Round of 16 with ease. Stork, however, has a lot to prove. He will be tested against the PvP monster BeSt in the Incruit semifinals and forGG in the MSL. Will he actually win a gold this time? Only time will tell. |
| 3. |  BeSt[HyO] (P) (stats) |
-1 | 2 | http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/players/16_BeSt/games/vs/P I don't think Best needs much of an explanation: how do you beat this man? Best has been playing like a madman, proving his worth in the OSL and Proleague. After smashing his teammate Midas 2-0, the battle of pride awaits. Best vs Stork, Stork vs Best. They are too good to tell apart. The pride of the Protoss king, master of PvP, legend of fall will be fought on the 24th of October. |
| 4. |  Fantasy (T) (stats) |
+4 | 1 | by.Fantasy? OSL Semifinals? Err yeah, Fantasy was definitely not the player I would have picked to be in the OSL semifinals. You better believe it - this guy is for real. A potential Royal Roader, he took down Mind pretty convincingly to pass the Round of 8. He has also been putting up consistent results in Proleague. |
| 5. |  GGPlay (Z) (stats) |
- | 3 | I stopped watching GGplay vs Flash Game 3 halfway through, after deciding GGplay had no chance whatsoever. WTF! is what I said the next day. He somehow managed to beat Flash on the heavily Terran-favored Plasma to move on to the semis. Incruit gone DAUM. |
| 6. |  Flash (T) (stats) |
-3 | 1 | Flash, what's happening! As much as I hate to say it, the Ultimate Weapon is on a bit of a "slump." He didn't know what it meant to lose, but he has been tasting some sour defeats lately. Out of MSL, out of OSL, followed by unexpected losses in Proleague. Flash must step up his game. |
| 7. |  Hwasin (T) (stats) |
- | 2 | The face of STX soul is playing better than ever. Maybe he has a shot at the MSL gold...oh WAIT! Hwasin is playing his nemesis Bisu. Those two have quite a history. Remember when Bisu called him the "Insurance Terran" and humiliated him with Scouts? Hwasin has never beaten Bisu in a series (4-8 against him, overall). What a match this will be. |
| 8. |  Bisu (P) (stats) |
- | 1 | Bee Suit has been looking pretty good recently. He played an impressive set of PvPs against Stork, and then beat Backho&Much to advance in the MSL. Overall, his game seems to be coming back to shape. Another revolution sounds pretty cool. |
| 9. |  fOrGG_V_ (T) (stats) |
-3 | 1 | fOrGG_V_ always shows up to play. He handled Iris and Leta fairly easily in the MSL group stage to earn himself a spot in the RO16. His opponents were tough, too. Iris is known for exceptionally strong TvT, while Leta has been on fire. fOrGG had no problem with them. |
| 10. |  Firebathero (T) (stats) |
- | 4 | FBH BEAT A Protoss? No... TWO Protosses! That's right, the once so-terribly-awful TvPer made crushed his MSL group filled with highly skilled Protoss players. He proved a point: his TvP isn't that bad after all. |

Kal - Kal was pretty damn close, but his poor PL results kept him out of the PR. Iris - Long time no see, Iris. Welcome back to MSL. If he keeps up this pace he will be in PR in no time Leta - He was sooo hot in the Proleague Playoffs/Finals, but has slowed down a bit since then. Don't get me wrong, he's still very good. Although he didn't pass his MSL group, he is playing great in PL. Much - Grandpa Toss sadly did not make the MSL RO16, he is playing pretty well in PL. Just not enough to earn himself a spot in this month's PR. Luxury - Out of both leagues, mediocre performance in PL. I wanna see more from Lux. <hr> Bottom four were very hard to rank. Hwasin has been performing better than Bisu in PL, but Bisu DID get himself farther in OSL. I think Hwasin and Bisu are pretty much interchangeable in terms of rankings. Feel free to discuss. | ||

I would put FBH much higher though; he's been tearing through PL and looked really good against Much and the other toss he played (right ahead of Hwasin) FBH's 1-2 in PL. Losses to Best and Leta and he won by cheesing Flash. | ||

Performance-wise he clearly doesn't measure up to any of the players in the top 10... Tearing through PL..Idk about that | ||

 And yes, Firebathero deserves to be here. He destroyed Much and Bisu to advance in MSL, and his TvT/TvZ are always of the highest calibur. | ||

Thanks for the analysis. I don't have much to comment on, as this is pretty much what my list would've looked like. No surprises. | ||

GGPlay especially reminds me of the old savior. FBH has simply been impressive lately with his magical TvP. It's not completely insane to say that he will be the next best Terran out there. Stork, as usual, is really consistent and has his entertaining games. However, I have a feeling he will go the finals of both OSL and MSL and fail hard  | ||

I suppose I should though. | ||

He also brought down stork in proleague. This guy has real potential. EDIT: I just realized, you completely forgot about kal. It's really tough to judge type-B, he's only played 13 games with 1 zvz. Tempest would be another one to look at I suppose, but neither of them have really played enough games. | ||
