FPL Recap - wippie tops final weekly leaderboard; PwnAlone and Xeppaa take dailies
The second week of FPL for May has concluded, with this week being the final one to offer a weekly prize pool as FACEIT and the players have chosen to revert to the previously utilized daily system. In fitting fashion, the final weekly win was taken by FPL star Maxim "wippie" Shepelev, who recently linked up with Royal in MDL.
The top ten players from this past week are:
Rank | Player | Points | Prize |
1. | Maxim "wippie" Shepelev | 224 | $3000 |

10. | Skyler "Relyks" Weaver | 152 | $450 |
The majority of players from last week's top ten returned to double-dip on the final weekly prize pool, with the Luminosity duo of Gabriel "NEKIZ" Schenato and Ricardo "boltz" Prass being the only two new appearances. Josh "PwnAlone" Pigue and Owen "oBo" Schlatter remained steadfast in their placings, with neither player moving up or down from their performances last week.
boltz and PwnAlone tied in points for second place, with the Brazilian player being the one to claim the spot in the end with a higher overall winrate, although he played almost half the number of matches of his opponent. A similar scenario in a tie for fifth place saw Erick "Xeppaa" Bach surpass David "J0LZ" Jolin in the standings, with both players ending the week with 184 points.
