<b>Major updates on the Database Ranking</b>

The GosuGamers Database Ranking has gone through some major changes after listening to the community's suggestions. Below is the Ranking for November 22 2006.

It was two weeks ago when GosuGamers announced their Database rankings to the world. In » this feature we presented the rankings for the Top 30 in the WarCraft world, based on an ELO system where events around the world is ranked in various ways.

We received quite a number of pointers and sugestion, which we of course evaluted carefully. We were also aware that there were several of the big events missing in the database, Korean events such as World Esports Games II and CEG Cheng Duo. Matches from these events have now been added.

There were also some events that had too big influence on the ranking such as the NGL-ONE 1on1 matches who had the same event rate as Extreme Masters. Being played in best of one, we reduced the event rate, and everything has been recounted with the present ranking.

The same thing with the ESL Pro Series which was counted in. With it being a German league, several German players were placed too high in the previous ranking. As this is an international database ranking those matches will not be counted in - the same with every national event, apart from the final matches of a WCG, ESWC, WSVG qualifier or any of the likes.

The matches from the biggest clanleagues WC3L and NGL-ONE are counted in, and seeing as how the European Nations Cup matches have about the same quality level, the matches from the ENC Season 3 Playoffs has been added, giving some players quite a boost, such as ElakeDuck, SaSe and LiiLD.C.

With these words and explanations, GosuGamers give you the current rankings of 22 November:

The Korean superstar Sweet jumped up eight notches after adding the CEG Cheng Duo event in which he won. We also see ElakeDuck jumps up to ninth spot instead of 21 due to great play in NGL-ONE. Matches from World Esport Games Season 2 was also added, as well as the European Nations Cup Season 3 playoffs where Sweden took the title much thanks to the Orc player's solid play. Other than that it looks much alike, except for ToD dropping four spots, due to the Extreme Masters loss against ElakeDuck, and two losses from WEG Season 2.

Lots of new faces here. The lone player in Estro, the Undead powerhouse GoStop jumped up 12 (!) notches after adding his very successful run in the World Esport Games Season 2. We can also say hello to Moon who was at rank 49 in the previous ranking. After adding the WEG Season 2 matches he flew up in the rankings, to a place where he belongs. Strong performance in the SuperFight against Grubby, and the WarCraft 3 World War match against Zacard serves him a 13th spot. We see the Russian young talented player Happy after his takedown of Lucifer, Susiria and Moon in the recent NGL-ONE match between Mousesports and MeetYourMakers. His mate Titan drops eight notches after lowering the event rate of NGL-ONE, a league Titan has been very successful in. FoV drops down after some bad performances from WEG Season 2 who still haunt him. We also congratulate the Swedish Night Elf player LiiLD.C who enters the ranking after solid play in the ENC Season 3 playoffs for Sweden plus his strong performance so far in Extreme Masters.

Human player Fire drops 10 spots, and XlorD is moved down to 28 instead of 27. Fire also lost 33 points after losing to NightWOlf (new to Top 30) in the recent Extreme Masters match. And also, the Swedish Mouz SaSe enters the Top 30 after winning in Extreme Masters and points from the ENC Season 3 playoffs. Bulgarian Night Elf player DIDI8 drops ten spots after some bad results in WEG Season 2 plus his NGL-ONE matches not being worth as much as before. Though he won all his matches in the ENC playoffs, giving him 30 extra points.
