Won 'PartinG' Lee Sak

PartinG remains the highest rated player in the Community

It’s Wednesday and therefore time to update our Community World Ranking: 2.377 ratings have been given by you in the past seven days and yet again they changed a lot in the ranking – except for the top: Won ‚PartinG‘ Lee Sak remains the highest rated player with a score of 3.81. Considering that 4 is the best score possible, this is a freaking high value for the Korean.

[playerbox_parting] He is followed by [bomber] and [mma] who both climb up three ranks. MMA was recently the runner-up of WCS Europe and almost all-killed Team Dignitas in the Acer Teamstory Cup while Bomber finished fifth in WCS America.

The rest of the Top10 remained stable with the exception of [life] dropping from rank 2 to 13 which might be due to some inactivity of the young Korean who only played two Proleague matches this month so far – but to be fair there wasn’t much more tournaments he could have participated in.

Some players further below that rose up are [first] and [golden] who both just qualified for WCS Europe – they climbed to ranks 38 and 58. And two french players got high ratings this week: [marinelord] went up 27 ranks to # 123 and [censure] 22 ranks to #169. I can’t tell though if this is due to recent results or just because some french users upvoted their fellow countrymen.

The Community World Ranking now counts more than 34.000 votes. Participation is easy: Just go to the profile of your favourite player or use our Quickrating game to rate multiple players in no time. You can rate players from „Bad“ (1 point) to „Pro“ (4 points) – the average number of all votes creates their ranking value for next week. Community World Ranking is updated every Wednesday.
