With the top two spots being shuffled back and forth the top four spots are pretty much set in stone. January closes off with the early rounds of the OSL and MSL while the Shinhan Proleague R2 comes to a close.

The Top 10
Bisu and Stork have swapped places for first in the past month, this could be due to the fact that in January stork had played fewer games than Bisu. The only major finals were the Shinhan Proleague Round 2 Finals.
Sadly stork's team did not make it into the playoffs. Even with three players in the top 10 ranks of KeSPA MBC HERO would only finish third in round 2 of the Shinhan Proleague.
Busy Shuffle
Ranks 11 through 20 are always busy with players climbing up and down the ranks. These players seem to find themselves always having to prove their worth and this week CJ Entus have four of their members occupying a large portion of these ranks.
The 11th spot is occupied by InteR.Mind which made a brief appearance in the top 10 before dropping back down. To close off the middle ranks is firebathero who is on a steady decline to the bottom.
The Rest
Here we have the new arrivals into the top 30 KeSPA ranks and the soon to be booted out players. iloveoov seems to be on track to be out soon as well as PuSan[S.G.]. Newcomers are TheRock and NsP_Flower who joins fellow teammate and 2v2 partner Justin[ArnC]. JulyZerg has also made an appearance in the top 30 once again, this time in SK Telecom T1 instead of his former team, MBC Hero.
Still a Team Game
Interestingly enough even though Lecaf OZ had ripped through Shinhan ProLeague Round 2 with a record of 18-4 and clinched the grand final win, you will only find two players from the team that are ranked in the top 30. Both of these players are also in the top 10 as well. As for second place CJ Entus they have a total of six players who occupy the top 30 and only one of them is in the top 10.
