30th September 2008 - 3507 hits, 29 coms
The top three places have moved in the last day or two - due to the ESL Major Series - and though Mondragon seemed to have comfortably regained his throne, he now leads by the skin of his teeth. Get on the rollercoaster as we explore this month's top 30!

The Top Five



Strelok has lost his throne this month, after losses to HayprO and ClouD cost him 35 points. In his absence sits Mondragon (pictured), the past king of the Rankings hill, who was leading comfortably this month until losing to Sziky in a surprise defeat during the ESL Major Series, is now leading by a measly five points.

Behind him is IefNaij, who has been shifting between second and third. He has also suffered a loss of points at the hands of the ESL MS to Dreiven, who displaced him for 23 points. Though all three have played well this month, the ESL MS has brought many upsets which have shifted the top 3 around. The remaining two spots however have stayed completely unchanged, with neither DIMAGA nor Draco having moved, or even played, at all. ClouD has been jumping up the rankings, with a strong performance in the ESL MS a definite help towards that end. Dreiven and GOsia have also jumped up after good performances, with Dreiven beating down second-placed IefNaij earlier on in the month.

Excello crumbles as MYM continues to dominate


Excello, once a top team, is slowly crumbling, with only two players left in the top 30 and a modest 16th position as their best score. MeetYourMakers, on the other hand, has gained a spot since last month in the form of Chosen, with nine(!) players on the list, with IefNaij sitting at #2 and Strelok right behind him.

The ever-solid Templars of Twilight have strengthened their hold as well this month, gaining two more places, with the arrival of SquaLL and Ace who have been performing well recently. Ace is also representing his country at WCG, which has helped him to gain his place in the rankings.

Poland weakens


Though it retains its throne as having the most spots on the rankings, Poland lost a spot this month, as uSer dropped off the rankings altogether. The other countries remain essentially with the same, with Peru gaining an extra spot thanks to Handy. However, Germany has taken the highlight this month, with Mondragon retaking his throne, leaving Ukraine a little weaker despite their strong hold on the top spots.

And to conclude


As predicted at the beginning of September, the top three spots were certainly subject to change, and so they have. Besides the top five, we've seen ClouD move straight from the bottom half into the top ten, and also seen Dreiven and GOsia advance their way up. Mondragon is barely holding on to his throne at the moment, and given the upsets that have come about this month, nothing is certain. It will be worth seeing if the Warship retains his title, or perhaps if JF manages to claim the top spot.

How do you play no games and stay in the top 5? The ranking system seems to be friendly to players who are apathetic to competition while on the other hand penalizes players who make an effort to compete.
