KeSPA Ranking Sept.

[s]korea[/s]This list is the official KeSPA Ranking (former KPGA), which includes all the korean leagues where the professional StarCraft players play. This list is a good way to get a hum on which Korean Progamer is doing best at the moment, and throughout history.

The Up/Down column says a lot about the current events that have been going on in Korea. If you take a look at XellOs (picture) you see that he has gained 4 ranks, thanks to his great performance in WCG Korea. The Top 5 is pretty much the same, except for JulyZerg, who took the fifth place from
Silent_Control.

SK T1 and KTF tied with 6
In the Top 30, SK Telecom T1 and KTF Magic@s are tied with 6 players each, giving them the highest number of players in the list. Second place comes Suma GO with 5 players, although not so highly ranked.

Players disappearing and reappearing
Looking further down to the list you can find Ddang and ForU reentering the list, thanks to WCG Korea just like XellOs. Another interesting player that has come back to the Top 10 is the old player
Yellow. Hopefully he will do well in the new EVER Starleague.

Canadian ex-progamer going down
A player who is disappearing from the Top 30 is Grrrr... (picture), who stopped being a progamer a while ago. However, he did star in 2004 Digital Life2004 Ongamenet Special, where he faced Buyn. You may download the VOD from YaoYuan » here.

As you might have known, Grrrr is working with a company called GamerLuxury, and still lives in Korea together with ElkY. If you're wondering about the costume he wears in that VOD, Legionnaire wrote that "those are the 2 random uniforms that are kept at the MBC studio to give to players who dont have their own uniforms with them."
