Flash should've been on the list for the same reason Bisu was. He's still 'hypothetically' good!!!
We went through that argument in detail though. People just hold Flash to a different standard. It wasn't enough that he destroyed the hardest Starleague line up in history, nah he has to do that every starleague! |

| Stork might deserve a low spot on PR next month, that was a pretty impressive rolling of Fantasy tonight. Showing he's still got the magic touch in PvT. |
| | Favorite progamers (in order): Flash, Stork, Violet, Sea. ||| Get better soon, Violet! | |

Unless I misunderstood this...
No, if he retires he should obviously STAY on the upcoming Power Ranking because he's participated in and finished all of the tournaments this month. We're judging his performance this month, and for the most part, with the exception of WCG, all big tournaments have concluded.
Furthermore, we won't hear a final decision until the end of the month, so by the very end of August, Jaedong will still be a pro. I see absolutely no reason why he should be "probably" taken off the Power ranking. |

Hmm this is a tough choice now that Fantasy lost to Stork 0-2
I would move Bisu or Calm up and Fantasy down |

fantasy should be lower
kwanro should be higher than iris and flash
bisu should be higher
yarnc should be higher
stork should be #9 and effort #10
the PR is really something subjective in the end ^^ . |

Definitely have to wait for the finals to place Calm/Kwanro.
And although Stork handed Fantasy's ass to him, you have to remember that Stork is a PvT specialist and a bad showing in wcg isn't even close to negating his great show in proleague and decent performance in OSL vs Jaedong. |

Expecting Flash to win Korea WCG and hoping that a pseudo double title will get him in the top 3 again. We all know he's the favorite over anyone in TvT, and he's just proven that his TvZ, when he does what he should, is monstrous. Now he just has to roll a good protoss or two to show that GOM wasn't a fluke. This WCG's line up could end up being technically harder than his Bacchus run on paper, and if he takes down some ungodly combo of Effort/Bisu/Jaedong/Stork then, hopefully, people will come around.
It's all speculation, but it's about time Flash show people again why he was the #1 terran. |

| I dont think Fantasy should be placed 2nd. He has plenty of losses this month that make him not deserve it |

| 4-6 against the toughest competition (jaedong and PvT Stork woooo, only person who'd be more difficult is Flash's TvT and maybe Jangbi in form) and the weakest competition, amusingly, with half of his 4 wins going against an amateur. Of course his last ten games cuts off RIGHT after his monster 6 game streak with 3 wins over JD. Last edit: 2009-08-27 03:36:55 |

| let's see how flash does against bisu but if he does well he'll have owned a top terran, a top zerg, and THE top protoss this month. hard to deny him a mid-PR spot after that |

lol top zerg and top terran?
effort is below jaedong and calm and maybe even kwanro and his zvt is his worst matchup statistically.
iris is not consistent enough to be a top terran. He keeps dropping games to random noobs like odin and perfectman.
Also, it's only wcg. Doubtless, the players want to win, but I don't think that they put in the same effort they put into proleague or individual leagues. |

Everytime Flash wins it's because who he's playing is bad or doesn't try, apparently. ugh
Before his game with Flash his ZvT was pretty much statistically equal to his ZvZ (27-16 to 28-16), and not to mention his recent, highly excusable loss to Iris for which he had absolutely no practice and didn't even get to really play. Stop making excuses to discredit Flash, Effort was quite recently called S-Class ZvT by a lot of people. It seems symptomatic to somehow find excuses for Flash's wins, ever since his cheddar terran days.Last edit: 2009-08-27 04:12:11 |
