So basically there's a max of 25 games that "really matter" (20 if you don't like GOM) between a total of 7 players. It's not actually that funny. | ||

Maybe that's what Jaedong thought, and suffered accordingly. Uh no, Calm is an insanely good player. Before he beat Jaedong, he defeated zero (which isn't too astounding) and Effort (which is). Of course it's a bit ridiculous to have the semifinals of both leagues on consecutive days. But it's not like Jaedong is way ahead of the opposition, he is only slightly better at micro and is very good at utilizing his advantage for maximum effect. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I'm glad Jaedong got revenge for fantasy's bunker rush in PL! Assuming Jaedong wins OSL vs Yarnc (not a sure bet with how mortal JD looks in ZvZ recently), next rank might come down to STX Masters games, as weird as that is. | ||

Jaedong may win the OSL, which has historically weighed more in determining the power ranking, and calm may win the MSL after destroying jaedong. Who'd get the higher position then? Personally, I'd place jaedong above calm, despite losing to him, because he had the number 1 position on this power ranking. Then again, yellow[arnc]'s been doing extremely well, and if he beats jaedong in the finals of the OSL (in any fashion) that will be been two bo5s that jaedong's lost in what used to be his best matchup, and one in which he had not lost a single bo5. Would yellow go above calm or vice versa? And where would jaedong go? Flash should definitely go to the power ranking next month, but who's spot will he take? It's a rather slow month if you're not in any starleagues, and wcg korea doesn't really matter that much. | ||

BUT, if the rank went up RIGHT now with Fantasy at #1 and Jaedong at #2, I wouldn't bat an eyelash. I wouldn't necessarily agree, but Fantasy played out of this world too. Also the loss to Calm shouldn't be put against him, I think. The guy had two semifinals, and from last night's game, it's OBVIOUS what he prioritized, and he prioritized damn well. | ||

If this happens, they kind of break even, with a tie betwixt them, Fantasy kicking Jaedong out of PL and Jaedong kicking Fantasy out of OSL (again!). But I think there's something special to say about a Golden Mouse before the kid turns 20, and that something special should be a #1.

Retarded excuse, Calm straight up outclassed him, there's no way that can't be put against him no matter how tiring his schedule. It's also interesting to note that if you exclude WCG, then Jaedong can't get higher than a 50% win percentage this month. | ||
