Starcraft: sAviOr holds onto 1st in July KeSPA Rankings

By: Lucas Bigham - Published July 03, 2007 at 7:28 PM EDT - Writer Archive
For yet another month, Jae Yoon "sAviOr[gm]" Ma has managed to hold onto the first place position in the KeSPA rankings for the month of July.
Recently, the KeSPA Rankings for July have been published and for yet another month with Jae Yoon "sAviOr[gm]" Ma is still on top of the leader board. However, the same couldn’t be said for the two well-known gamers in 2nd and 3rd place Yoon Yeol "NaDa" Lee and Taek Yong "Bisu[Shield]" Kim who have swapped places in the standings.

While there were quite a few players who either moved up or down drastically in the rankings, none even came close to Stork[gm] who moved up eleven ranks. The next player who also made quite an improvement in the rankings is the famous zerg player Tae Min "GoRush" Park who moved up seven places. This was a player who many believed was way past his prime, but is now proving once again that he has a lot of gaming left in him.

The young up and comer Dong Wook “CaSy[aLive]” Han dropped down fourteen ranks this past month. This is very unfortunate due to the high hopes that many had of him really become the next big superstar. However, it is still very possible for him to bounce back in the coming months.

For the month of July, three players have made it back into the top 30. Two out of the three are relatively unknown to most, but because to their recent performance they have managed to make it onto the KeSPA charts.
