Calyx was joined by Will "dazzLe" Loafman at the top of the wins column with fifteen, though dazzLe's extra six games to reach that mark resulted in just a fourth place finish. The podium was instead occupied by Blake "miniature" Gittins and Michael "dapr" Gulino, who finished second and third, respectively. Victor "food" Wong grabbed a parting gift from the CS:GO scene this week, finishing tenth to grab $450 to spend on VALORANT skins.
Bad News Bears was the best represented team in this week's top twenty, seeing three players make the cut between the two top-five finishes from dazzLe and dapr and a 13th place finish for Peter "ptr" Gurney.
