KeSPA; October

[s]korea[/s]

For every new month there comes a new breed of special rankings for special players. KeSPA brings us these special rankings and they do it very well each and every month. Their system seems to be almost flawless as the best gamers will be on top while the others, well you know...

There were 13 professional Zerg players in the top 30 last month. There also was 11 pro Terrans competing at that level as well. And finally there were only six, yes 6 professional Protoss gamers in the rankings.

This month will the rankings change for the race distribution? Only the true rankings will tell us. So with out further ado read'em and weep.

Once again it is JulyZerg at the very top. XellOs and fOru both gained a rank or two due to their wins in the WCG Korea event. The Terran Emperor, Boxer, is still hanging in the top 20. IPXZerg finally stopped rank hopping after two straight months of climbing up to his current spot. Pusan[S.G] is back into the rankings as he pushed Mumyung out. This month Nal_Rock had the biggest rank jump as he clinched the 19th spot when going up three ranks.

This month's ranking will be finished up with differently compared to last month?fs news. To explain the race distribution within the professional scene I will show you some interesting percentages.

12	Zerg	40%
11	Terran	37%
7	Protoss	23%

The first number represent how many of that race (Zerg, Terran, Protoss) is in the top 30. The last percentage represents how much percent that race makes up in the top 30. So as you can clearly tell Zerg is the dominate race with Terran closely behind and Protoss tailing pretty far back. Does this mean that the Zerg are the new forces of tomorrow? Will Protoss make a huge comeback? It is only up to you, the player, to decide.
