Rank S Recap - Toy and opportunity claim spots at Rank S Combine

Plenty of ties and underage players complicated this week's standings.

Another week of Rank S and Rank G has come to an end, although unlike last week, there were plenty of ties and underage player issues.

The top ten for the past week of Rank S is as follows:

Rank Name $ Prize
1. United States Danny "cxzi" Strzelczyk $812.50
1. United States Josh "PwnAlone" Pigue $812.50
2. United States David "Toy" Han $458.33
2. United States Jeff "RZU" Ngo $458.33
2. United States Jake "kaboose" McDonald $458.33
3. Brazil Felipe "pavel" Costa  
4. United States Owen "oBo" Schlatter  
4. United States Alex "aproto" Protopapas  
5. Canada Randy "Smiley" Sandoval  

Danny "cxzi" Strzelczyk and Josh "PwnAlone" Pigue split the top prize this week, with both players taking home $812. However, as cxzi is underage and PwnAlone has already booked his spot to the Combine, the third Rank S Combine spot falls to the third place finisher of the week.

Astute readers will notice that there are in-fact three such people — but only one of them is of age, being David "Toy" Han. The retired player was recently prevented from attending the WESG World Finals as the coach for CLG Red, but hopefully will have no such issues getting to Las Vegas.

The top ten earners for Rank S 2019 so far are as follows:

Rank Change Name Total $
1. - United States Jeff "RZU" Ngo $6,370.83
2.- +2 United States Danny "cxzi" Strzelczyk $5,802.50
3. -1 United States Derek "desi" Branchen $5,433.33
4. -1 Canada Derrick "LILMAN" Boyne $5,802.50
6. - United States Chris "Slash" Petersen $4,193.73
7. - United States Peter "ptr" Gurney $3,884.52
7. - United States Alex "aproto" Protopapas $3,737.50
8. - Canada Yassine "Subroza" Taoufik $2,945.83
9. - Canada Andy "vSa" Xu $2,777.38
10. +12 United States Josh "PwnAlone" Pigue $2,607.50

Over in Rank G, Ezekiel "KmZ" Hughes won the week with 102 points. The standings were:

Rank Name $ Prize
1. United States Ezekiel "KmZ" Hughes $1,000
2. United States Erick "Xeppaa" Bach $500
3. Canada Sebastian "retchy" Tropiano $275
4. United States Caleb "opportunity" Davis $250
5. United States Brandon "BOOBIE" Roberts $225
6. United States Koby "kobruh" Higgs $200
7. United States Jack "JackZ" Zaruba $175
8. Canada Sean "Inseaniac" Morrison $150
9. United States Eric "Kwong" Kwong $125
10. United States Sam "4sh0t" Marino $100

However, due to KmZ being underaged, he is ineligible to attend the Combine, much like cxzi. As a result, and due to the next two people also being underaged, the Rank G spot for this week will go to Caleb "opportunity" Davis. opportunity was last seen competing outside of Rank G during MDL Season 29 when he played with Think Outside the Box.

That means that the current participant list for the Rank S Combine is as follows:

Rank S Rank G
United States Josh "PwnAlone" Pigue United States Brandon "BOOBIE" Roberts
United States Derek "desi" Branchen United States Joshua "KiiroKami" Kim
United States David "Toy" Han United States Caleb "opportunity" Davis

Note: The original version of this article stated the Rank S spot for this week would be determined next week, due to the three-way tie, however neither kaboose nor RZU are 21.
