FPL-C Recap - pao continues perfect April
April's second week of FPL-C is complete, with Paolo "pao" Lope once again the champion after winning eleven of his 15 matches. The new blood, sweat, and tears reservist concluded this week's ladder on a eight game win streak, one better than he managed to end on to start the month.

This week's runner up (also a repeat from last week), Danny "cxzi" Strzelczyk, also managed eleven wins this week, but required two more games than pao to reach that mark. Justin "Jerk" Milani rounded out the podium by winning eight of his 11 matches, while Tommy "Axed" Ryan had a perfect week and snuck into payout territory, but only played three games.
Axed's success is a microcosm of FPL-C itself this week, where nearly every competitor that played more than five games was able to cash out. It is perhaps of note that that trend happens to correlate with the more widespread distribution of VALORANT beta keys, and more CS:GO players weighing their options between the two games.
