KeSPA ranking: April

[s]korea[/s]"Omg, elky owwwnz nada". If your friend says that, tell him to look at this list. This list is the official KeSPA Ranking (former KPGA), which includes all the korean leagues where the professional StarCraft players play. This month's KeSPA ranking list is pretty interesting, since Nal_rA has managed to jump up two ranks. In the past month, Nal_rA has managed to win the OnGameNet Starleague, a tournament filled with great players, prestige and prize money. By winning this tournament, Nal_rA jumped from fourth place to a second place.

nal_ra.jpgEmlary over at » TeamLiquid.net said that this was the first protoss ever to reach Top 2 in this list. Nal_rA (picture), whose real name is Kang Min, is a new member of the team KTF Magic@s. As » poGDI wrote in a previous newspost, he wasn't cheap. KTF had to pay $200,000 to get him! Read about it » here.
Despite Nal_rA's OGN victory, the Terran Emperor NaDa is still 159.5 points ahead, so I guess it's going to take a while until we'll see a protoss ranked 1st.

elky.jpgSo, how does it go for the non-koreans? Well, France ElkY (picture) is at the 17th place. ElkY is a member of the Dream Team, sponsored by Hexatron, as well as Canada Grrrr..., who's placed a bit further down - 22nd place, to be exact.
Now, enough with the ranting, here's the list:
