KeSPA Rankings Dec.

[s]korea[/s]

The KeSPA progamer rankings for December have just been released. The top three remains intact, and only minor shuffling has taken place in the top 30. JulyZerg continues his remarkable rise to the top, and a familiar face returns.

For the fifth month in a row, iloveoov is on top of the KeSPA pro gamer rankings. His constant top finishes in the various tournaments around Korea leaves little doubt about who the #1 spot belongs to. Still enjoying the points gained from WCG 2004, XellOs remains number two. Of course, the top three just wouldn't feel right without the legend himself, NaDa.

Following suite with recent months, the top three, as well as six out of the top ten, are terran.

Here is the list for December:

July continues his run
JulyZerg is still fighting his way up, citing impressive finishes in virtually every tournament he has entered. Since defeating reach in the OGN finals back in August, he has been one of the hottest players around. If july keeps this up, we could see a non-terran player at number one for the first time in quite a while.

Iloveoov has a margin of over 200 points seperating him from the closest compeditor, however, so the terran machine could very well be on top for another five months.

Oversky returns
The zerg player Oversky made a return to the top 30 this month, clocking in at number 25. To make room for this, TheWinD is pushed out of the list.

Will the terran trio continue their domination on the top spots? History tells us "yes", but JulyZerg may be changing our mind in the near future.
