KeSPA

The September Korea, South KeSPA ranking has just been added, with no significant modifications within the top 30. Even so, let's take a look at this month's standings:

Flash/JaeDonG
Flash and JaeDonG still dominate the KeSPA ranking

Terran Flash and Zerg JaeDonG are still occupying the #1 and #2 spots. Unlike last month, however, the distance between these two players is much bigger now, with JaeDonG losing valuable ground to the KTF Prodigy Terran. You may wonder why this happened, since the Legend Killer just won the Korean WCG qualifications, as well as the GomTv tournament. The answer is that these events are not taken into consideration, which was Flash's saving stroke.

Stork
Stork is back? Seems so

Ranked third is the Protoss player who managed to show the most skill recently; that's right, Protoss Stork seemed to go down slowly but surely, yet he somehow reconsidered his situation and got back on his feet. Even with this major improvement - 5 spots is not exactly a walk in the park - the Dinosaur Toss still is about 500 points behind JaeDonG.

Zerg JulyZerg, Protoss BeSt and Terran Mind each got themselves some timeout, going down by 2 spots this month, which is something rather expected. However, none of them seems to be playing worse and this means they will probably stay in the first third of the ranking for a while more. The recent MSL winner, Terran fOrGG, continues to climb the ranking, acquiring the 5th spot now after going +2 spots, just like Terran Sea[Shield], who entered top 10.

20.Zerg YellOw[ArnC]OGN SPARKYZ886.5-1

 

The second part of the ranking is full of Aiur residents, as we have 6 of them here, while 3 spots belong to the Terrans and the last one seems to belong to Zerg Yellow[ArnC], a Zerg who got separated from the pack. Protoss KaL is no longer among the best 10 progamers, Protoss Bisu, Protoss JangBi and Terran Hwasin keep their last month's positions, while Terran Light and Protoss Rock are up by one spot this month, just like Terran NaDa, who is probably giving his fans good news, showing that he can actually get back up.

 

September KeSPA Ranking

21.Terran firebatheroSamsung KHAN799.5+4
22.Zerg sAviOrCJ Entus766.5N/A
23.Terran MidasSKTelecom T1740.6+6

28.Terran CanataSKTelecom T1647.6-1
29.Terran LomoLecaf Oz633.0-3
30.Terran LetaOGN SPARKYZ619.5+8(New!)

 

This is where the biggest, more abrupt changes are: besides Zerg sAviOr and Zerg Rumble, everyone did some hopping or falling, with two new players entering the ranking. Also, the Terrans over here are as many as are Protoss in the previous part, 3 Zerg here just like Terran in the 11-20 interval and a single, apparently lost, Protoss, in case you were curious.

Terran Firebathero played well recently, but he was definitely eclipsed by 3 other Terran players who really put on a show there: Terran Midas (+6), Terran IriS (+4) and Terran Leta (+8). In fact, the whole third part was eclipsed by them; these guys have been noticed and their efforts have not gone unrewarded. Props to Leta for showing a lot of determination in his games, which makes us wonder if he's got the spark to make it.

One other question remains, and you probably know it already: where is Zerg TheZerg? After those impressive results that he scored, it would be cruel not to have him here, right? If he keeps it up, it is most likely that we will see him in next month's ranking.

Remember we told you about Reach, Casy and Anytime joining AirForce ACE, right? That's why we added the * to Protoss Anytime, as he belonged to Lecaf OZ when the ranking was calculated, which means that from now on, if he will still be in top 30, he will be under the ACE tag.

they said at the beginning that gom is not supported by kespa, so it doesn't count in kespa rankings. that's also why not all the proteams sent their players at the gom tournament, only 7 teams agreed to participate i think...

too bad jaedong won the events that dont count in kespa's agenda, otherwise he would get the #1 spot. he certainly deserves it.
I'll be nicer when you're smarter.

A good lift for Stork, good timing. A timely momentum as he'll participate in the Grand Finals of the WCG.
If you can't stand for something, you'll fall for everything
