If they are neck and neck, like you said, even a proleague record should justify who gets #1 and #2.

Stork's OSL was tougher than Bisu's MSL, but Stork also had a harder time in his OSL (3-2 to Fantasy), than Bisu had in his MSL. Stork went like, 2-1 vs Bisu, 3-1 vs Best, 3-2 vs Fantasy. Bisu has gone 2-0 vs Hwasin, 3-0 vs FBH, 3-1 vs Free, 3-1 vs Jangbi. Point is that although Stork's OSL was indeed harder than Bisu's MSL, Bisu also tore through his MSL with little problem, while the same cannot be said of Stork's OSL run. Stork's run was harder, so he had a tougher time. Some close games, and close series. Bisu's MSL run was easier, and he just raped his opposition, and was never at a point where he had the chance of elimination.

I think that should put their respective League wins as equal, in terms of measuring their skill from it.

Then Proleague performance, which Bisu has been doing better with, would be the tipping point to Bisu.

Lots of this stuff seems to be going in circles, I guess. I believe Bisu should be #1, but it is very close right now, so it could go either way. Stork needs to get some PL wins though, or Bisu needs to start dropping PL games.

I thought Bisu equalized Stork's harder OSL by just raping his way through an easier MSL.

Power Rank is supposed to be a monthly thing, and I think it's pretty safe to say T1's Toss posterboy has crushed Khan's this month.

Bisu is carrying in PL for the first time in his career.
His MSL was a joke with Free and Jangbi as semis and finals -__________-;; but respect for a title.
As stupid as it sounds, Stork's OSL was before Bisu's MSL and Power Rank is a month by month thing, so really, only Stork vs Fantasy should be considered for PR. Strong show from both regardless, but Bisu has done more during november. I think we can agree on that?

Plus, Hwasin, Firebathero, Free, Jangbi... lol? Bisu's MSL bracket looks like old loser's bracket of MSL no? LOL~~~

So what I'm trying to say is.... Best #1 for PR !! GOGO ANYTIMEEEEEE

the question PR is supposed to answer, if deciding between two players, is who would win a Bo5 between them right now? OSL or no OSL, given their current levels it's pretty clear.

stork beat bisu eight weeks ago in a very close 2-1 win where Bisu was up huge in the deciding game three. since then, we have seen little of stork's pvp other than losing to kal 2-3 and not doing well in PL. bisu however has beaten free 3-1 and jangbi 3-1, so the decision is pretty clear in my eyes, the December PR should have Bisu at #1 and Stork at #2.

Best and Stork would likely win a Bo5 against any terran on the planet

We are using the OSL and MSL wins to Judge Stork and Bisu's skill, are we not?

If you look at Stork's OSL run, it was difficult for him. Close series, tough oppenents, things like that. He fought through it, but he didn't dominate the OSL. Bisu's MSL run had less tough opponents, but he dominated it.

What I'm trying to say is this:
Harder Starleague + Difficult run = Easier Starleague + Dominating run

While I agree that Bisu should be #1(Stork just underperforming tremendously since his OSL win), this argument is flawed. Every player has weak and strong MUs. For example, Best and Stork would likely win a Bo5 against any terran on the planet, all the while can be utterly embarrased by mediocre zergs at any given time. So do they rate behind zergs or above terrans?

Anyway, quite disappointed in Stork and Jaedong's recent slumps. Neither has been playing like they're invincible recently. They are my favorite players of their respective races, and it sucks to keep seeing them get owned by lesser players.
