[s]korea[/s]The great » poGDI and I, have decided to bring you this rather late but interesting news after Mazor jabbed us in the ribs with it. The current ranking of the Korean e-Sport Association is showing some activity. What is KeSPA? It is the top pro-gaming ranking list. If you are ?truly? someone, skill wise, in the world of money making pro-gamers, and if your name is not here you will always be out of the loop.
As you can see the Boxer is currently number six in it and the legendary Grrrr is about to be pushed out at the bottom (-5 Hang on in there man!) The current climbing star is ilovegov (+6).
Note also 12 zerg, 9 Terran players, 6 Protoss players. For those of you who always love to spend hours and hours discussing what race is better and if the game is balanced is or not: Top 10: 4 terran, 3 Zerg, 3 Protoss. Not bad for balance heh?
This translated list first appeared at » newteam.com.ru which we should list as source but you can check the monthly » KeSPA ranking at their site.
This site has a nice picture of every single one of the players in the ranking and also provides you with each player's public email and many personal and team websites. If you really want to have a laugh, run it through » Babelfish and check out the translated names.
