We've seen too little of Bisu in tournament and non-FS play to really gauge how he can perform -- this SSL is a perfect opportunity. Hopefully he practices hard and takes a break from the "bububu" and "boing-boing's" to adequately prepare -- he was watching old matches on New Heartbreak Ridge just last night, so that's a good sign of things to come...
hahahaha making him sound like a baby/loafer
Bisu will destroy everyone!

A BW power rank - all must be right again in the world.
The rank definitely accurately reflects the recent Terran dominance - hopefully we can see Z/P fight back a bit in SSL 11.

You have to think that Bisu, Mind, and Effort have the highest skill *ceiling* of the current crop... but, obviously, that's not the whole ball of wax.

He's already perceived as the 'best', why take the risk?
Likely same reason he doesn't play in all the smaller leagues, I'm sure he receives invitations to all of them...

It'll be interesting, at least from a SSL 11 perspective, to see how ambitious they are and whether they're taking the time/effort to prepare.
If we think of Sea as an example, it seemed Olympus came in really well-prepared with the map terrain and strategies that excelled on them to earn the victory. I don't know if we can say the same about Sea

boooooo if this is the truth take him off top 10 next PR >:C

Nice to see bw power rank again! Top 10 seems pretty accurate. Also, I never really bothered to check how particular players have been doing before liquibetting, but due to my gut, I have almost always bet on ssak, I guess that's the reason why I have been doing fairly well ^^

wow sea looks so much skinnier there ;3

Mind almost managed to beat Sea in Seaside Semis.
TvT Progress! Year of the Mind is not dead yet.

I'm interested in what the survey will say.

I don't get why hero is popular on TL, even Sayle was hyping him up during Bisu vs hero SSL9 finals (after that, Bisu has stomped hero ever since).
"God of ZvP" my ass. Any winrate % before the the Return of Bisu during September 2013 should be suspect.

Anyways Bisu being top is a bit overjustified considering we still have the likes of SSak and Last tearing up the league.

He's like HiyA with a ZvP specialty instead than TvP.
DSL Ro16 D starts in 7 hours. Been a while since we've seen sSak and a loooooong time since we see PianO play. Pretty hype group tbh.

Haven't been around in forever, are the faceshot images for each player taken recently for a tournament or something? If so, they're looking fresh
|
haven't been around here for a while, is there a "best games of" list / thread for the last year?
