![]() ![]() Over his last two attempts at fighting against Gold, he garnered a grand total of three points in the standings over two seasons. Royal is to be commended for his performance so far this season. With an absolutely dominating 7-1 win over Turnout8 this week, Wodar establishes himself above the former Diamond player and even does well enough to take a spot back from Royal, who was above him last week. Wodar heard me put him last place in the power rankings last week and decided that enough was enough. However, his play’s looked shaky enough against relatively weaker opponents that he’ll sit under Sheph for the time being. Not much to say here Kotte’s been playing well, and is in fact above Sheph in terms of actual points gained so far this season. For these reasons, Sheph doesn’t manage to make their way up the power rankings quite yet. SpyParty isn’t mathematics a draw against Kotte doesn’t mean that Sheph would do similarly against RoyalFlu$h, but it is telling. Not to mention, RoyalFlu$h was only seconds away from drawing Kotte himself last week. While the result isn’t entirely out of the blue, as clearly Kotte’s a fairly strong player, it’s just not the level of impressive that they needed to take the top spot out of the hands of Cameraman. And yet, Cameraman doesn’t drop, so why? I’m just not convinced that this draw is enough to overrule Sheph’s loss to Cameraman, and Sheph didn’t do anything to change my mind this week himself. Suffice to say, a very surprising result for someone I’ve rated at the top of the division. On one hand, Cameraman just drew against RoyalFlu$h, who has been at the bottom of Gold for two seasons straight before this. Have I mentioned the RoyalFlu$h is doing really well compared to his usual? I did that last week? Well I’m gonna do it again this week. ![]() While his losses haven’t been so bad he’s had to play both WarningTrack and YerAnd, as well as a surging Magician, it’s still one less win than Slappy who has had a similarly tough schedule. Whether that lasts will depend on Slappy himself, but for Week 3 Slappy avoids rock bottom in both the power rankings and the actual standings.Īfter Week 3, FalconHit is the only player in Diamond without any points to his name. 7-3 is a pretty wide margin for Diamond, and it’s enough in the face of FalconHit’s lack of success to finally get Slappy out of the bottom spot. Slappy beat Magician, and it wasn’t even particularly close. Will he be able to keep up the unexpected and historic success in this year’s Diamond, or is this old dog running out of steam? While the loss still leaves him above Slappy, given how they’ve both looked overall in the season, it is worrying for Magician going forward. Magician drops not only on the strength of Pwndnoob’s result this week but also on a loss to Slappydavis, the division’s bottom spot. ![]() However, with YerAnd’s current form, this is still pretty impressive and it’s enough to bump him back up into the top 3, along with a win over Slappydavis that was finally played from last week. With a draw to YerAnd, Pwnd is still perhaps underperforming the amount of points he was expected to get coming out of the first few weeks of Platinum. However, if Track can keep racking up results like this, mopping up those he’s favored against, YerAnd may find himself unseated in time. While Track’s result is more expected than YerAnd’s, the burning memory of YerAnd’s comeback victory over the preseason divisional favorite is still only one week back and not easy to forget. Despite each of their recent form, which would have YerAnd well advantaged, Pwndnoob still managed to take a point off the top Diamond runner. YerAnd actually suffered a draw this week at the hands of Pwndnoob, who previously had given him three losses in SCL5 Platinum once for each time they met. The results for Week 3 were mostly in line with what’s been expected of each player, as well as with how they’ve been performing over the season, with one notable exception. Despite its reputation for slow match scheduling, Diamond has played every one of their matches, which is a welcome change from last week. ![]()
