Yes he played kind of badly. But he doesn't have a losing record and he's still a favorite in a Best-of-5 against almost anybody not on the PR and some who did make it (hi, Kal, fantasy). I think he's a little too high (I'd put Calm over him and maybe Stork, but then I'm a Stork fanboy) but I'm not ready to argue with him making the PR - yet. If we get another bad month out of him, then I'll consider it. | ||

And I'm calling you out for having a Terran icon and SKT1 icon as bias. He didn't play "crap", but "mediocore" and you noobs exaggerate his slump like no tomorrow. Losing in ZvZ is not big of a deal, we all know ZvZ is most luck-based rock-paper-scissors MU | ||

I thought that their recent games in the SPL finals would at least add on to the fact that they played a decent series previously, but I guess haters will always be haters. I would agree to putting Calm above Jaedong, but not Stork. | ||

Edit: I should say that the rest of this rank looks pretty spot on. At first I was suspicious of Shine > Hyuk, but I checked out their recent opponents and I think that placement is totally justified. Nice rank overall, riptide. | ||

Guess this month really shows how good you are riptide. If Jd wins much your a genious, if not, your a fool. High risk, high gain. Uh the PR isn't a prediction it's an assessment of the current situation. There is no risk or gain because he is just a guy making a ranking of who HE THINKS are the top 10 players on the scene. | ||

JD should drop to 5 or s.th. like that. Effort should exchange spots with fantasy, Eff. looked a lot better than fantasy lately. Also Hyuk should be ranked higher: Everyone who has followed the scene during the last 4 month in which Hyuk went 37-7 (holy shit!!), might notice that this is the biggest rise in the history of SC since iloveoov came along... | ||
