Introduction
These updates will be used to showcase how this season's PR progresses each month(the first update combines the first two months, as they didn't provide enough data on their own).
Everything is being decided by the Polish Ultimate PR committee, which carefully examines the results, peaks, lows and attendance of every eligible player. A solid starting point is being provided by the glicko algorithm.
Please do note, that the PR will only have 10 spots and more spots are only being displayed to show who'd barely miss the cut.
11. Pies
Summer 2019: unranked
Sets won: 5
Sets lost: 4
Good wins: Zychuu x2
Bad losses: Blizth, Treaku
SmashOn 6: 7/16
SmashOn 7: 2/14
Pies makes the honorable mentions with his superb performance at SmashOn 7, where he double eliminated Zychuu making it to Grands and only losing to Drayv. He is, however being held back by his disappointing finish at SmashOn 6, where he recored two bad losses in Blizth and Treaku. He could still make the PR if he avoids any additional bad losses and gets a couple of strong wins until the end of the season.
10/9 Zychuu
Summer 2019: unranked
Sets won: 11
Sets lost: 6
Good wins: SuperTata1
Bad losses: pies x2
SmashOn 6: 3/16
SPB House: 7/20
SmashOn 7: 3/14
Zychuu is tied with J.J for 9th place, as they have almost identical results. Neither of them have particularly bad losses(pies being the worst, but not that bad, as he's technically 11th) and they both lack meaningful wins(SuperTata1 being the best win for Zychuu). They can be considered the gatekeepers of the top 10, beating most players ranked above them, but losing to the top of the top. A head to head set count or either player's good win would set them apart .
10/9 J.J
Summer 2019: unranked
Sets won: 6
Sets lost: 4
Good wins: none
Bad losses: none
SPB House: 7/20
HackRoom5: 4/12
J.J has worse wins than Zychuu, but he also has better losses, literally having Kandif as his worst loss. Only time will tell who of them breaks the skill barrier first.
8. Otis
Summer 2019: unranked
Sets won: 4
Sets lost: 2
Good wins: Zychuu x2
Bad losses: none
SmashOn 6: 2/16
Otis takes number 8 thanks to his outstanding performance at SmashOn 6, where he double eliminated Zychuu to secure himself a place in Grands, only losing to Drayv. This one peak puts him ahead of Zychuu and J.J for now, but he'll have to prove himself at more tournaments to strengthen his spot as the season progresses.
7. Kandif
Summer 2019: 6
Sets won: 9
Sets lost: 3
Good wins: J.J
Bad losses: none
SPB House: 5/20
Tilt'N'Salt 1: 1/10
Kandif is the number 7 at the moment. He has been very consistent, only losing to Klopsiak once and Aggrise twice at SPB House, but his best win so far is J.J, which isn't enough to put him ahead of number 6 on this list. He won Tilt'N'Salt 1 without dropping a set, but he didn't record any good wins along the way.
6. Megaban
Summer 2019: 8
Sets won: 2
Sets lost: 2
Good wins: Drayv
Bad losses: none
Hackroom 5: 3/12
Megaban is currently at the 6th spot on the PR, with his singular performance at Hackroom 5, where he defeated Drayv and only lost to Guma and to Drayv to place 3rd. Despite his inability to travel, Megaban has already collected a very good win at his first tournament this season, and we will see if he beats more good players as the season progresses.
5. Anikai
Summer 2019: 7
Sets won: 6
Sets lost: 0
Good wins: Aggrise x2
Bad losses: none
Super Smash Bros. Szczecin 11: 1/2(worthless)
Super Smash Bros. Szczecin 12: 1/9
Currently undefeated this season, Anikai is the first inclusion in the top 5. He won Super Smash Bros. Szczecin 12, where he beat Aggrise twice. This performance, but his lack of more sets with highly skilled player puts him here.
4. Drayv
Summer 2019: 2
Sets won: 18
Sets lost: 5
Good wins: Megaban, otis x2, Zychuu, J.J
Bad losses: none
SmashOn 6: 1/16
SPB House: 4/20
SmashOn 7: 1/12
Hackroom 5: 2/12
Drayv is the player with the highest attendance once again, attending 4 events in the first 2 months. He played solidly so far, only falling behind Aggrise and Klopsiak, who was ranked lower because of his very low attendance last season. Other than that he's been really consistent, having Megaban as his worst loss(that isn't even bad), which puts him just behind the players who outplaced him at SPB House.
3. Aggrise
Summer 2019: 3
Sets won: 10
Sets lost: 4
Good wins: Drayv x2. Kandif x2
Bad losses: none
SPB House: 3/20
Super Smash Bros. Szczecin 12: 2/9
Aggrise continues to improve, as he conquers more and more players. His prime performance was his 3rd place finish at SPB House, where he double eliminated his demon from last season, Drayv, and kept his winning streak on Kandif, double eliminating him as well, and only losing to Gumanku twice. He got 2nd at Super Smash Bros. Szczecin 12, where he lost to Anikai twice, but his performance at this season's only major so far still secures his Top 3 spot.
2. Gumanku
Summer 2019: 1
Sets won: 11
Sets lost: 2
Good wins: Aggrise x2, Drayv, Megaban, J.J x2, Zychuu
Bad losses: none
SPB House: 2/20
Hackroom 5: 1/12
The player who won every tournament last season takes number 2 this time around. He lost to Klopsiak twice at SPB House, but he defeated every other Polish player and won Hackroom 5, which clearly secures his no.2 spot.
1. Klopsiak
Summer 2019: 4
Sets won: 7
Sets lost: 0
Good wins: Gumanku x2, Drayv, Kandif
SPB House: 1/20
Klopsiak is currently the best player on this season's power rankings. He went undefeated at SPB House, beating last season's no.1, Gumanku, twice. He has to attend and perform well at a couple more tournaments in order to keep his rank, and we will see if anyone defeats him going forward.
