Savior, or IPXZerg as he is also known was the person who climbed to the top of the KeSPA rankings last month. This time NaDa takes the throne and with it shows what an amazing comeback he has had from his slump.

NaDa had a massive slump around the time when his father died and I'm sure we all remember that. With gaining the top KeSPA spot there's no disputing he is back and as good as ever, winning the golden mouse for his third OSL win. He must be pleased.

Picture to the right: NaDa giving a thumbs up for his number one ranking and his chances in the third superfight.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. July, oov and casy are all former OSL winners and top KeSPA rankers. Oov seems to be having a bit of a freefall with his mentor being in the airforce. There aren't too many protoss players in the top 20, so seeing Bisu climb a bit is nice for the protoss fans out there.

Boxer drops out of top 30, as does Reach and Kingdom is on his way out it seems. Good thing there is some new blood coming up as some of the old legends seem to be fading a bit.

Superfight 3 - take my number one spot will you?

The thumb is no longer happyClearly TossGirl has something the other progamers are lacking and it's not skill.The third CJ Entus SuperFight was played on Friday morning. It featured JJu versus TossGirl in the warm up match in a best of 3. JJu demolished the opponent with 2-0 and made it clear TossGirl was not only there due to her skill. The main match featured last months KeSPA #1, Savior, vs. this months, NaDa. The rankings were published before the fight started and this is what Savior had to say: Losing the 1st place ranking to Lee Yoon-Yeol (NaDa) was another reason that I wanted to beat him. After a horribly indecicive scv rush in the first game, Savior went on to win a close second game. If you intend to get just one VOD from these games, this would be it! In game three, NaDa showed what he's made of. Savior played well, but not well enough. In the final game however, Savior was back to his winning ways.
