The Top 5
This month's top five has changed, but the faces have remained the same. On top of the rankings now is 'The Warship' Strelok, taking the spot from Mondragon (now second place) who was probably getting too comfortable in his position. Strelok has proven he is capable of keeping this spot, but only time will tell for sure as anything can happen.
Coming in third is the newest MeetYourMakers recruit, IefNaij, winner of the TSL and one of the fastest rising foreigners to date. Despite dropping a rank this month, JianFei has shown he is an extremely effective killing machine and will be difficult to budge from his spot. Rounding out the top five is Polish favorite, Draco, who has been inactive since his second-place finish in TSL, and White-Ra, the veteran player from Ukraine.

Meeting The Makers
Dominating the rankings this month is the Danish based MeetYourMakers clan with a total of eight representatives on the rankings, including three out of the top five spots. Including Arew, who debuted this month in tenth, they almost take up half of the top ten as well. Tied for second place with four members each is Portuguese team Excello and Team Rox from Russia.
Poland dominates for another month
In what may be considered the most skilled Starcraft country outside of Korea, Poland brings us a total of six players to the rankings this month, with fan favorite Draco leading the pack in fourth place. Also to be noted this month is the rise of the Ukraine, with RoX team member ALF holding onto thirtieth place another month. In what is mostly a mixed bag of several nations in the rankings, Ukraine and Poland dominate with an incredible pool of talent.
Overall...
July provided us a good shakeup within the rankings. In fact, twenty nine of the thirty either gained or lost a position, and we have five new faces ready to show they have it within them to stay on top. Will Strelok be able to continue his reign on top? Will Mondragon be able to reclaim it? Will it be IefNaij or perhaps White-Ra to take over? Join us in August when we find out!
