Our world ranking based on our result database. Counting all the results way back since 2005 from all the major online and offline events. This ranking is purely based on results, no special expert biased opinions or anything - pure results.
We have a total of nine new players in the top 30, but on the very top nothing changed: The 'fifth race' Moon is still leading the rankings, but Lyn went on climbing the rankings after several good tournaments such as the MGC. Creolophus was able to climb up one rank aswell after winning WCG, very impressive for an inactive player!
The biggest winner this time has been the player that lost the most ranks in the previous month - the Finish starplayer Satiini. He made it up to the tenth rank after he was ranked 30th last month. Other big steps have been made by Susiria climbing up 11 ranks and by xiaOt, the best newcomer this month. He made it into the rankings and ended up as 12th.
On the other hand there are Sai and FoV who both lost 12 ranks. The second worst month has been the month of Shy who lost 10 ranks. Interesting to see that both, Shy and Sai were climbing up the ladder the month before.

Top 30 breakdown by race
# Race Players Highest rank
1 Night Elf 11 Moon
2 Orc 7 Lyn
3 Undead 6 Lucifer
3 Human 6 ToD
Compared to last month's ranking the amount of Nightelf players is shortened by four and one Undead player had to leave the rankings, while three Humans and two Orc players have been added. Nightelf obviously is still on top, but the other races are quite even.
Koreans still dominate the scene, compared to October they were able to increase their amount of players in the Top 30 by two. The Chinese delegation did not change at all, but the non-Asian countries lost some players. While Russia had three players in the rankings last month, they are lowred to one player this month. Sweden had two players, not they don't have a single one in the top 30.
Team-wise the rankings changed a lot. While World Elite was on top in October, now they are only fourth. SK Gaming on the other hand was able to climb up the very top with a total of five players in the Top 30 and underlines their strength once again. Followed by the other WC3L finalists Beijing eSports Team and MeetYourMakers, who both got four players in the ranking.
As you can see, the top four teams are the top four in the WC3L aswell. Taking this into consideration it might suprise that the WC3L's worst team - wisdom Nerve victory - is on the same rank as World Elite with three players in total.
