Good for Lomo being in, he did hard times to Flash, soon he'll be nomber one (3-4 months). Good for July hes back. All i want ot say about this PR is i would put Midas and Stork for CNBC. Midas for strong PL and 3 of 3 aces won, and Stork for his win on BWWI and his succes on GSL. after all he is the reason Khan is so high on stats, winning in PL, not like Savior does for CJ... | ||

Sea being #1 is just a small joke by Steve..don't be such an clueless idiot about it... Well look at it this way, Jaedong has been playing a little better than Flash last month Flash's TvT - Incredible but shaky lately. Did you see his recent TvT vs Lomo? He barely beat Lomo Flash's TvZ - Solid but lost to Luxury recently Flash's TvP - Solid but lost to Best recently Jaedong's ZvT - Solid since he wiped Hwasin recently Jaedong's ZvP - Incredible. Recently, he beat Much, Lucifer, Kal. He even 3-2 Bisu, who is known for his godly PvZ. Jaedong's ZvZ - Too godly. The only game he lost verse oversky and he's beat every other zerg for this entire year. Even the old legends like July, Savior, and Yellow are no match for his ZvZ From looking at it this way, doesn't Jaedong look like he's performed much better than Flash? | ||

Flash tvt: Incredible and was pushed far by lomo Flash tvz: Solid but lost to luxury Flast Tvp: solid as hell and just went off an 11 game win streak Jaedong: Zvt: Solid but just ended a really bad streak where we went 2-10 or something disgusting like that Jaedong ZvP: Very solid, but its not like hes really been tested lately Jaedong zvz: same | ||

I understand july not being really high, but he deserves seven or something for a FINAL. Luxury went pretty far...choked...but you still cant deny his play. FORGG is too high all together, he still can only play two match ups you know, well. I have no clue why Hwasin dropped so brutally, other players who got knocked out of the msl kept their positions or were actually rewarded for it. For the third month in a row, I am forced to say, this is a shitty power rank. :\ Hwasin is called a TvZ specialist and i don't know but this is maybe his strongest MU and on maps that completely favour terrans you would expect him to do something better . Kal did perform better then him and his series was really close versus a very strong TvP player .In Much's case he has played a few games after his lost to BEST and he did pretty poor losing to Ganzi again in PL and to JD also i don't know if he has won enything this past month .Much is an underdog versus JD but he at least should be mentioned if not in the PR in the CBNC ... | ||

Will be an exiting series, and hopefully they will be epic long games, and not 4pool or cheeses that ends within 10mins. I hope for the sake of Julyzerg that he is in good shape, cuz Backhos play was a joke. If the games go over 20mins each, Best will take the series. Lux is the stronger player at the moment, agreed, but as far as ZvP goes, July is way, way better than Lux hands down. The "and he failed vs BeSt, what more of July?" argument can be used if Lux' ZvP was top-notch, but it isn't the case here. July's low-econ, macro-intensive, harass-based play can be an effective counter to BeSt's macro-oriented play. Common sense dictates that it's stupid to allow someone like BeSt to go into macro overdrive; that'd be parallel to people back in the day allowing oov to enter Cheater Terran mode. As already mentioned, BeSt's PvZ mechanics are still questionable, inverse to how July's ZvP mechanics and game sense are extremely sharp. If the games go over 20 minutes, BeSt's chances of winning go up exponentially, I agree. The thing is, July won't allow that to happen. | ||

Jaedong has been looking better than Flash lately, and seems to be coming out of his little month of uncertainty, while Flash is going into a small period of being beatable. Watching his PL games, he seems to be playing with the same great mechanics, but he is lacking the confidence that Jaedong seems to have refound. I mean, Jaedong pulled off great come-backs on Lomo in the Classic, he dismantled Hwasin (a TvZ GOD) in MSL, and he was eliminated from OSL by cheese which could have taken out anyone doing that BO. BeSt isn't the only player who destroyed people in a Starleague, Flash is doing great as hell in MSL as well as Jaedong, and they could both easily make it to finals. BeSt could even lose OSL, as Luxury gave him a hard time. Hwasin is a TvZ expert, but his other matchups aren't good enough to warrant him a new spot. I would put BackHo higher, but it is a matter of taste. | ||

Depends on how ScarFace defines "tested" and how different it is from how you define "tested". I think this is ScarFace's definition of "tested": Jaedong's last 10 ZvZ matches: 815 on Blue Storm: Win oDin on Katrina SE: Win OversKy on Blue Storm: Loss ZerO on Othello: Win ZerO on Katrina SE: Win OversKy on Andromeda: Win maGma on Katrina SE: Win Haran on Andromeda: Win Luxury on Blue Storm: Win Luxury on Zodiac: Win Lux is the only player out of those listed that could provide Jaedong with any challenge (and that set was played way back in the GOMTV MSL). After that it's a slew of instant wins (Haran? ZerO? He even beat 815 on Blue Storm FFS). So yeah, I'd say Jaedong's ZvZ hasn't really been tested as of late. Doesn't change the fact that he's godly in the MU, it's just that he just needs more challengers of note. | ||

Jaedong showed his zvt is still world class when its not a bo1, so Hwasin getting dismanteled is like someone losing 3-1 to savior, Flash, Oov, etc, at their height. As in, its understandable. Hwasin got destroyed but did good game 1 and 2 [though I admit he made many mistakes game 2] reacted poorly game 3. I didn't watch game 4, but I heard Jaedong was just on another level. Nothing to fault Hwasin against MAYJORLY. Rather, something to credit Jaedong with. Jaedongs play was great, Hwasins was not bad.Hwasin is called a TvZ specialist and i don't know but this is maybe his strongest MU and on maps that completely favour terrans you would expect him to do something better .

As to Much: Ok he lost 0-2 to the strongest pvp player...and? He played great game 1, minor mistake lost him game 2. He demolished Free on the other hand, and dropped a single pl game. As FS said LAST MONTH, pl means shit in comparison. If your winning in individual leagues- which he IS- then you get the credit you deserve. Much will lose, but thats a non issue. Because RIGHT NOW, at this time the power rank is issued, Much is still alive and kicking in the msl and is looking good. | ||

Edit: I would also add Midas as well. It looks like he's going to be making a comeback soon and Jaedong didn't dismantle Lomo. Lomo beat himself. | ||

Best has a shaky matchup, Jaedong doesn't, Jaedong > Best. Jaedong was looking shaky, but every shaky loss he had, he came back with 2 or 3 very not shaky wins where he completely corrected whatever had him shaky before. Flash is very good but not perfect anymore, and he's beginning to look shaky. Since Jaedong is going up and becoming less shaky, and Flash is going down, appearing more shaky, Jaedong > Flash. Backho sucks. I don't know how he got to the semis. Hwasin sucks, he's lucky to get 10th place. Forgg beat kal, so it makes sense he's above Kal. Kal has been pretty strong lately, so it makes sense that he's fairly high up. Above Luxury? I'm not sure about that, but if Luxury can't control his nerves just to win a semis after going 2-0, then he's not going to go anywhere til he fixes that. I feel July could be lower, but who cares. It's July. And he just came out of slumping for like thee years to going into the finals of the OSL. I like Lomo, but I agree on his placement because he hasn't imo done anything huge like the guys above him. He pushed Flash yes, but isn't tvt both their best mu? And wasn't it just Flash playing bad compared to his best, and not really Lomo playing great? Lomo might've been playing his best, but Flash's best is way above Lomo's best, so it doesn't seem too impressive to me that he went 2-3, because he still lost. All in all, good power rank imo.

Has more heart than any other progamer, lol. As if you knew how much heart the ppl have, you seriously seem to be nothing more than a little fanboy, using the TLPR for his love-letters. Wow, I never thought you were such a nuthugger. -.- | ||
