- Nal_rA not in the top 30 for the first time in 31 months He's ranked 31st. - For some reasons, Mumyung is back in the top 30. - IPXzerg goes from 'not in the list' to 12th in two month period.
Edit: I hope this can help people to understand the rankings better. Kespa (which stands for Korean e-sports association or something like that) never made it crystal clear how they calculate the points. But based on what I've read, they take all the major and minor events over 12 month period, and give out points to the participants according to 3 things; winning percentage(20%), finished place(30%), prize money(50%). And they also separate those events to three different level (big, medium, small), so the ODL winner doesn' t get the same points as the OSL winner. For example Xellos earned about 310 points for winning last year's WCG, which is considered a "big" event. And we can predict 310 is about the maximum number of points a player could possible get in a "big" event, since Xellos won the WCG without losing a single game.
Oov's dropped because the points that he earned when he won the SPRIS MLS were wiped out. apparently that's why Kingdom (finished 2nd in SPRIS), Nal_rA (3rd), and GF (4th after getting owned by rA's hallucination Recall) are dropping too.
Reach is up 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yessssssssssssssssss!!!!
Midas is still too high but other than that I think this really reflects current changes. Oov is deservedly down, GoRush deservedly up, and finally we have Reach (though sadly still the only toss in top 10) in a halfway decent position. He always makes quarters in every major tournament so he deserves it.
I really believe that we're going to see Anytime up there pretty soon. and Xellos, Midas, and foru down by a lot when last year WCG points are wiped out.
nal_ra is finally where he belongs, outside of the top 30. and reach is where he belongs too, the top ranked protoss. i imagine anytime will move into the top 30 soon too. hes been raping everyone lately X_X.

anyone who says nal_ra doesnt deserve top30 bw progamers is A.moron B.retard C.NOOB. the best games I ve seen this year is from nal_ra,and dont forget he saved KTF's ass 5 times winning the final game.I dont think there is any other pro that can be so confident and calm to save his team 5 times.

Call me noob, moron, retard or whatever you want. Individual leagues are ones that counts, and he sucks for a year and half. He has no real result for year and a half, and he does not deserve to be in kespa top 30.
I realize theres some kind of math behind it but I honestly don't see how they justify raising Reach's rank 4 levels. I mean the players he displaced (Midas and GoodFriend) both have been moderately successful as of late .. Reach has BEEN FUCKING TERRIBLE,,,,,,,, as of late.
Uh... add into the mathematical coefficient the fact that GoodFriend recently molested Reach so effortlessly on Forte.
Most recent results: GoodFriend > stork[gm]
Midas>ODLGroup E
Reach is SOLUCKY to have drawn oversky so early in OSL, as close to an autowin as you can get. -_-. oversky is the biggest chokefest the OSL has ever seen.
ugh disgusting that they raise reach by so many ranks!

LOL! Reach is doing "fucking terrible"? He's arguably doing the BEST of anyone right now, with 2nd in MSL and going strong in ogn. His ranking is just about right, unlike a dozen other players that you could have actually criticized legitimately.

Reach going up by 4 is well deserved and very well expected after finishing 2nd only to IPXzerg in the latest MSL.

But that one protoss > others ez.
Except for XellOs (which is the most overrrated player in the ranking, thanks to WCG), Reach has a losing record against every single player ranked higher than him. Don't think he has a winning record against #7, #8, and #9 either.

And yet he's the best toss player in the history of the game. God I want to cry. And please, don't argue with me about "goodness" of tosses, because all the old schoolers had reaver drops with no cooldown and the newer old-elite like Ra and Kingdom, etc. have shown that they can't keep up nowadays.
Reach is the only toss to remain competitive once the game got to rediculously high levels of play. So what if he isn't oov-style raping everyone! He's progressing far in almost every tourney held. He most definitly deserves those points.
