Desi fell short to JoshRT by just one point

FPL Recap - The infamous JoshRT takes food's crown

JoshRT's prospects are looking up as he takes his first FPL win.

Week four of August has concluded, and a new challenger in the form of Josh "JoshRT" Lee has risen up to knock Victor "food" Wong off of his customary perch. This is JoshRT's first time topping the leaderboard since entering the division.

Here are the top 20 players from the last week:

Rank Name Points Prize $
1. United States Josh "JoshRT" Lee 1682 $1,500
2. United States Derek "desi" Branchen 1681 $1,000

18. United States Joshua "Hunter" Madore 1542  
19. United States Ethan "nahtE" Arnold 1542  
20. United States Ryan "freakazoid" Abadir 1542  

With the player break reaching its end and with the Major coming soon, Pro League players have become more sparse in the top of FPL. Nonetheless, Renegades' Noah "Nifty" Francis, Cloud9's Martin "STYKO" Styk, and eUnited's Will "dazzLe" Loafman were still able to reach the top 20 this week.

Besides the few Pro League players, FPL players still continue to dominate the top, with JoshRT and Derek "desi" Branchen making it into the top two. The recently promoted Marian "tyfoon" Lesnic also makes his first appearance in the top 5 after reaching FPL in last month's season of FPL-C. The full standings can be found on FACEIT's website.

Speaking of FPL-C, this week sees Christopher "cJ" Jones returning to first place after briefly dipping to 6th last week, knocking AAustin down to 6th. The current standings for the Challenger league is as follows:

Rank Name Points Prize
1. United States Christopher "cJ" Jones 1287 $1,250 + FPL
2. United States Caleb "jaychancE" Davis 1270 $750 + FPL
3. United States Hunter "koga" Allen 1250 $500
4. United States Alexander "zander" Diaz 1242 $250
5. United States Brandon "BOOBIE" Roberts 1236 $250

Note: FPL-C prizes are distributed monthly, none of these players have won anything

Akin to cJ, Caleb "jaychancE" Davis has climbed back up the ranks and is currently sitting in 2nd, just 17 points shy of first. While Hunter "koga" Allen was knocked down to 3rd compared to 1st last week, there's still just a little under a week of the season remaining to close the gap.

As players will soon be cramming in as many matches as possible to reach the top two, these standings will likely change in the following days. The full standings for this week of FPL-C can be found on FACEIT's website.
