The December KeSPA rankings are in and there has been quite a bit of shuffling of players, but the top three have stayed untouched.

The Top 10
The top three in the rankings,
Bisu, Stork and 
sAvior, seem to have no problems staying in the top three. And to close it off, the top 10 welcomes a new comer in 
UpMagic, who has won the majority of his ProLeague games in the past three months and recently defeated HwaSIn in the EVER OSL Ro8 2 to 1. He qualifies for the semi-finals and will be playing Jaedong, who has also moved up in the top 10. | Rank 11 through 20 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Mind Games
With UpMagic rising eight spots, it has left a trail of players moving down a spot or two, but the real story from ranks 11 to 20 is
InteR.Mind. InteR.Mind's true rise came from the GOMTV MSL Season 3 where he took down the likes of iloveoov, TheManiaMST, sAvior, and finally beating Bisu in the finals 3 to 1 to take the title of MSL Champion. Since then Mind has gone undefeated in his ProLeague matches. (Missed the MSL S3 Grand Finals? Click here for our battle report!)| Rank 21 through 30 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

And to close...
In the last batch of the top 30 we see a few old favourites slowly moving down the rankings. A fairly mediocre performance from iloveoov sets him at the bottom, other old favourites that join him are
Nal_rA, and XellOs. Interestingly enough, the latter two players met in the quarter-finals of the GOMTV MSL S3 where XellOs had taken out Nal_rA. Since then Nal_rA hasn't made much of a presence playing and losing only one ProLeague game since the GOMTV MSL S3. As for why Flower has jumped 15 spots to close off the top 30, let's just say his 2v2 combo with Justin has lost only one 2v2 in the ProLeague thus far.Special thanks to
