Rank S Recap - crashies and djay secure spots at Combine
Another week of Rank S and Rank G has come to an end, with a number of ties once again seeing the prize pool for Rank S split among the top players on the leaderboard.
The top ten for the past week of Rank S is as follows:
Rank | Name | $ Prize |
1. | Danny "cxzi" Strzelczyk | $1000 |
2. | Austin "crashies" Roberts | $533.33 |

6. | Jake "kaboose" McDonald | |
6. | Peter "ptr" Gurney |
Danny "cxzi" Strzelczyk once again placed at the top this week, this time managing to be the sole first place finisher. However, as he is underage, the Rank S Combine spot instead goes to Austin "crashies" Roberts, who tied for second place alongside David "Toy" Han and Jeff "RZU" Ngo. As the former player already earned a spot at the LAN last week and the latter is underage, crashies was the next in line to receive the spot.
The top ten earners for Rank S 2019 so far are as follows:
Rank | Change | Name | Total $ |
1. | - | Jeff "RZU" Ngo | $6,904.16 |

cxzi continued in his winning ways over in Rank G, managing to take first place in the lower league as well. The standings for the week were:
Rank | Name | $ Prize |
1. | Danny "cxzi" Strzelczyk | $1,000 |
2. | Jonathan "djay" Dallal | $500 |

8. | Jack "JackZ" Zaruba | $112.50 |
8. | Gabriel "GMAN" Ordaz | $112.50 |
Once again, due to cxzi being underage, the Rank S Combine spot went to Jonathan "djay" Dallal, who placed in second. djay has been without a team since stepping down from the ex-Excelerate lineup at the end of MDL Season 29, resorting to playing CS:GO on a more casual basis.
That means that the current participant list for the Rank S Combine is as follows:
Rank S | Rank G |
North America | |
Josh "PwnAlone" Pigue | Brandon "BOOBIE" Roberts |
Derek "desi" Branchen | Joshua "KiiroKami" Kim |
David "Toy" Han | Caleb "opportunity" Davis |
Austin "crashies" Roberts | Jonathan "djay" Dallal |
Europe | |
Dmitriy "Dima" Bandurka | Konstantin "sleepy" Vassilev |
Paweł "reatz" Jańczak | Andrius "TORAS" Balciunas |
François "AmaNEk" Delaunay | Aron "xajdish" Fredriksson |
Just two spots at the $30,000 LAN remain, set to be determined by the winners of Rank S and Rank G in this coming week. Four captains will then be hand-picked by ESEA to lead the four teams at the event, set to run from April 13-14th in Las Vegas, Nevada.
