The Top Five
This month, the top five have hardly changed; White-Ra has taken the spot his fellow countryman DIMAGA left behind, but otherwise, the other four spots remain unchanged. Since his brief spell of good performance in Ukraine's WCG qualifications, DIMAGA has been relatively quiet, and has lost quite a few games, falling ten places down the rankings. Mondragon is no longer struggling to hold his throne, being 40 points above IefNaij, who lost out in the group stages of the ESL MS, losing all of his matches. Draco has held fourth place for a long time now, though inactivity is eventually going to crumble his position.
November has not seen people step up and down the rankings. No, November has seen some people take freefall dives towards the bottom, and some people rocket towards the top position. CaStrO has abruptly entered the top ten after jumping eleven spots, along with NonY who went up five spots this month after some impressive performances. SquaLL, who only entered the rankings last month, is now ranked 12th after going up ten places, and fellow teammate GOsia went up six places to join him in 13th.
Of course, all these great performances have seen other players drop down. After his good performance in Ukraine's WCG qualifiers, DIMAGA has seen relatively little action, dropping down ten places this month. Joining him in freefall are BRAT_OK, F91 and Tarson, who all lost a lot of places this month, amongst others.

MYM remains strong and Excello disappears
With the end of Excello, MicrogamerZ has returned to their old tag. MeetYourMakers remains at the top of their game, still with nine players on the list as in October. MYM and ToT now account for half of the players on the rankings, holding four of the five top spots.
The polish team BVG has gained some prominence this month, with three players on the rankings, though some of those also play for other teams. The introduction of infamous Polish protoss MistrZZZ and Swedish zerg HayprO to the rankings has boosted BVG and ToT's presence; having been cleared from the blacklist, they have now entered the rankings, with MistrZZZ at #20 and HayprO at #16.
Poland ever dominant, Ukraine strengthens
Poland retains its continual hold on the rankings; they have six players present and Draco holds the #4 spot, with MistrZZZ adding an extra member to their roster. Ukraine gained a spot in the form of hanniGan, who has entered the rankings at #21 as a new face. The other countries have lost players, with doty, Handy and Notforu dropping off the list altogether, leaving SEn hanging on the bottom spot.
Wrapping up
This month has seen very little action amongst the top dogs, but many of the players lower down have jumped up and down significantly. It has also seen MistrZZZ and HayprO re-introduced into the rankings after being cleared from the blacklist, both of whom immediately entered the top 30. The throne seems to be in relatively firm hands, as it does not look as though Mondragon is going to be toppled anytime soon.
