Yet another month of Flash and Jaedong battling over the first place position on the ranking, only 4.5 points separating the two. The point gap down to the third position however is huge with over 700 points needed to advance one spot for Luxury. The top two players on this list will probably remain Flash and Jaedong for some time.
Three players have made quite large leaps, not surprisingly. BeSt has been playing very solidly for some time now, although he won't make the MSL this season, and his steady climbing is simply the result of that. July and fOrGG are other stories however, their wins in the OSL and MSL respectively catapulting them past the competition, although to be fair fOrGG has also played rather well in the Proleague as well. Most players in this range obligingly drop a spot or two except for Stork, Bisu and Sea who drop a few spots more.
This certainly appears to be the time for terrans, as they have a total of 13 out of the 30 spots in the list. Slightly fewer protoss players on here, 10 to be precise, but those that are on the list are right now ranked high on the list in general. Zerg are a bit spread out, with three players in the top 5 and then not a single hydralisk to be seen until 19th position.
