Power Rank

Rank Player Prev High Description
1.
Flash
(T) (stats)
0 1 I'm going to keep this simple and elegant.

[image loading]

]343[ you're a noob in advance.

I don't want to hear any whining about how Flash hasn't been performing in SPL and will likely not be playing in the upcoming weeks. I profusely urge all those who frequent these Power Ranks to mercilessly slap potential complainers with freshly caught haddock.

Get better, man.
2.
Yellow
(Z) (stats)
- 2 To the Storm Zerg, to KKONG, to one of the original KT Zergs, to a man constantly overshadowed, but never forgotten. To the "Best Man" of Starcraft. To YellOw--enjoy your retirement. You have earned it.

Carnivorous Sheep does much better justice to the passing of this legend than I do. If you haven't read his piece yet, you should.
3.
Jaedong
(Z) (stats)
+2 1 If I have to spend one more month vacillating between "D:" and ":3" I will be very unhappy. Such was the case for the month of June, where Jaedong entered the month fresh from a drubbing at the hands of ZerO. And then proceeded to lose another three straight Proleague games, bringing him to an unprecedented 5-game losing streak. I don't want to compare Jaedong's play at the beginning of the month to the antics of a frightened salamander trying to drive a semi*, but to say the least it wasn't very inspiring. The 8-game winning streak that Jaedong is currently on lifts my spirits, yes, but his ZvZ still concerns me. The recent win against Calm is a start, but I still saw an element of sloppiness from Jaedong that I didn't like. On the bright side, Jaedong's ZvT is looking phenomenal, and that does make me happy. Overall, I placed Jaedong above Hydra for this month due to the caliber of opponents. They have similar win-loss ratios, but Jaedong's hitlist is just better. And even though his ZvZ is causing me dismay and his ZvP is looking [relatively] worse, his ZvT is making me cheer.

Three point five sheep out of five, with a hipster picture to boot.

*In the sense that it'd take many, many salamanders to even press down on the gas pedal.
4.
Hydra
(Z) (stats)
+2 2 I can never really find too much to say about Hydra. Though for this month, I award him bonus points for playing with one eye. Seeing as Hydra is this season's definition of [awesome] consistency (not boring consistency like RorO), his lack of corneal focus hasn't seemed to affect his inner focus. Yes, his 0-3 shutout by Flash at the beginning of the month wasn't in the slightest awe-inspiring like ZerO's--at times, it seemed as if Hydra wasn't even well-prepared. However, Hydra's played a great month of Starcraft outside of MSL, cruising easily through his Dual Tournament group and losing only a single game in Proleague to Juni. So why is Hydra above Bisu? Answer: because unlike Bisu, Hydra actually has Starleague results. Also, I like this picture better than any of the Bisu pictures posted.
5.
Bisu
(P) (stats)
-2 1 Move over Sea, Bisu is the new Proleague champion. Like Sea, Bisu has consistently been a failure in Starleagues for quite a while now (actually, Sea has been getting farther on average these days). And like Sea, Bisu carries his team very well in Proleague, even though his team is better than Sea's. And [unlike Sea], Bisu is most likely going to help his team carry home another Proleague gold trophy. Bisu's claim to fame this season [and to #1 ELO currently] comes from his remarkably steady play in Proleague.

But what Bisu can't do is win this OSL. And accordingly, he will probably be punished for that in the Power Ranking (though he's held on quite well this season so far). If Bisu doesn't do well in this upcoming MSL, expect to see him falling down this ladder.
6.
ZerO
(Z) (stats)
-4 2 Despite getting 0-3ed in the recent MSL finals, there are three things going for ZerO that makes the 0-3 seem not that bad. The first is that the score doesn't say everything: ZerO played very well, but I simply don't think Flash could have been beaten. Second, ZerO's run through the ABCMart MSL was much tougher than that of great's. ZerO took down Calm and Jaedong (both statistically very good at ZvZ) to make it to the final. Third, and lastly, it's a silver medal. Despite losing, ZerO still won silver--that means in the entirety of the ABCMart MSL, ZerO did the second best. Oh, hidden reason: ZerO is cute. Furthermore, ZerO only lost one Proleague match this month and was instrumental to his team's qualification for SPL playoffs. You really can't ask for much more than that.
7.
Jangbi
(P) (stats)
- 1 JangBi broke my FPL anti-team and made me cry. Other than that though I really don't have anything negative to say about the mighty JangBang. On paper, his stats are monstrous: 24-3 in the last two months, with the losses coming from Hydra and n.Die_soO. Qualification for both MST and ODT through offline preliminaries, with a nice 2-0 out of his ODT group. Delving deeper though we see that even though JangBi's play has improved, JangBi's opponents haven't been of the highest caliber. And needless to say, many of the 24 wins have come from the offline preliminaries. Of course, in a season where most of the players are acting like bad lightbulbs (burn bright, burn out fast)...

I'm glad to see JangBi's playing better, but I wonder if this is another case where hopes get too high too fast.
8.
n.Die_soO
(Z) (stats)
- 7 soO is another that looks better on paper. I'm not devaluing his accomplishments for the past month--I'm just saying we should look further. In SPL, he's undefeated for the month, and has some clean wins over Protoss under his belt. Still though, the opponents he's played haven't been of the highest caliber--Stats is slumping, Stork is off playing WoW or something, Jaehoon is Jaehoon, Wooki is a rookie (albeit a good rookie)...

Though soO did survive his ODT group, edging out Mind for the 2-1. The games weren't pretty, but he made it out alive.

Still though, as I wrap up the text for this particular slot, a haunting whisper chills the air around me.

SKT Zerggggggg...

Actually, that might just be the cat.
9.
Movie
(P) (stats)
+1 5 Movie again slots into a lower rung of the Power Rank again for consistency in Proleague. Once again, his opponent hitlist isn't that impressive (the best player Movie has beaten in Proleague this month is Tyson), but still--a win is a win, and Movie will definitely be playing an important role for CJ in the upcoming SPL playoffs. He's also qualified for the MST (but not ODT), which I can't count against him since most people will only qualify for one at a time.
10.
HoeJJa[S.G]
(Z) (stats)
- 9 HoeJJa has suddenly sprung up from nowhere to play some pretty darn good Starcraft. Actually, besides not qualifying for the ODT, there isn't much you can fault HoeJJa for. He's in the MST with a 2-1 victory over Shuttle, and has only lost to TurN and Peace so far this month in Proleague, with some pretty impressive wins over the likes of Sea, Kal and RorO. Keep it up, [Koh] Kang Min.

Close but No Cigar

(P)BeSt, (T)Bogus, (P)Jaehoon, (Z)Killer, (T)Light, (Z)RorO, (T)Sea
These were all players that I considered for the actual tenth spot. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, it's very hard to choose amongst them. I think it's for the best to leave that question unanswered.

Shoutouts

(Z)Peace
A month overdue, but I have felt bad for a month for forgetting. His play this month has been less than stellar, but I do like it when ACE players do well.

(T)PianO
Despite not qualifying for either MST or ODT, Piano's done surprisingly well in Proleague. 4-1 over A-team regulars is nothing to scoff at.

(T)Reality
Seven Proleague matches this month. Four wins against powerful A-team players. Three losses against not-so-powerful A-team players.

Also appreciate the shoutout re: Reality. The kid's got a bright future!

He didn't just "win" against those A-temers. He beat them down convincingly. If you just watch VODs of his wins, you'd think he's easily one of the best players around. The problem, of course, is that he still only wins less than half his games. And his losses are quite forgettable.

But his future looks so, very, very promising.

I'll take this time to post something, thats basically an in-joke between me and my friend who watches starcraft, its about Jangbi.

When I started watching BW live was around the time of the Gom invitational and the individual league set up by GOM casted by Tasteless, I started watching proleague around the end of the 6 dragons era. During this time I heard how the 6 dragons were dominating, but for some reason never ever saw Jangbi play, be it scheduling or simply bad timing. By the time I finally was able to watch Jangbi, I saw him lose, every time, in fact, his recent slump coincided exactly with me having more free time to watch proleague, and I've watched every game he lost (I also missed the 2 games he won).

Now I'm not saying that I'm a curse or anything, but starting in the middle of May, I went on vacation to China, since then, I have not been able to watch BW at all. What happens during this time? Jangbi decides to win every televised game he's in, and make it in both leagues. All of this I have to find out the next day in the Results section.

So, my vacation ends at the end of August, I expect a silver from Jangbi at least, also I expect khan to do well in proleague until the finals (I'm in Shanghai).

I find it sad that this is the first time in ages where there is 3 KT players on the PR, and yellow's one is of charity

Good power rank over all.

Pretty good PR. If we discount Yellow's obligatory spot, we end up with Flash>JD>Hydra>Bisu>Zero, which I personally think is the perfect assesment of the top 5.

In the coming days, I'm looking forward to seeing JD take that top spot. Though I'm sure plenty will discredit him based on Flash's injury(which I won't try to pretend isn't relevant), personally I'll be reassured by their recent history. I believe now is the time for Jaedong to both catch and surpass Flash once again, and hopefully set the stage for a new era in their rivalry, pending flash's recovery.

Honestly, I think the future of BW looks very exciting.
