KeSPA July

For years now Progamers have been playing day after day, game after game to receive their payment, and to live their life to the fullest. Why would someone waste their life away on a video game? Some people would ask this question. The reason I would give to them; Because we love it so much.

KeSPA has been a big part of the Progaming era, for StarCraft: Brood War at least it is. KeSPA brings everyone the up to date rankings of the top progamers that exist today. Well, as there are so many progamers, I think we will just start and end at the Top 30 for today. Here is your KeSPA rankings for July 2005.

The biggest move in this part of the rankings is that JJu moved from 17th to 14th, to move ahead of Nal_rA. Sync replaced the open 17th spot where JJu once sat. Other than that no other big moves were made in the 11th through 20th ranks.

21 MinGu KTF 129.5 +4
22 Oversky GO 123.5 +4
23 iris[gm] GO 116.0 +6
24 Terato KOR 111.5 +4

28 Cloud KOR 102.5 -4
29 ZeuS KOR 099.5 New
30 IntoTheRainBow SKT1 098.0 New

MinGu and Oversky are chasing one another as both move up 4 rankings. iris[gm] has the biggest jump this month with 6 spots to put him in 23rd. Terato also has moved up 4 spots. Nal_Rock goes down two slots while Clon heads up one more. Both Max and Cloud are having some difficulties as they both slide down 4 ranks. We have two new Progamers in the Top 30 this week, ZeuS and IntoTheRainBow. Those two replaced Control and Yooi, as both of them move out of the Top 30.

The rankings 21 through 30 were not available from PlaySC so I had to snoop around the KeSPA website to achieve these rankings. But, none the less I will do anything to please the community.

Until next month when GosuGamers will bring the August 2005 rankings, good luck and have fun watching these Progamers do their thing on the Brood War scene.
