Weekly Rankings Recap - 1/17/16

The Duo Division came to life this week with the return of Friday Night Fights and the UGP Season launch with Pre-Show 74: The Long Hard Road!

Legendary combos got their year off to the right start: "The United" Shoe & Artanix becoming #1 contenders, while CCShadow & Scott-Howell struck back against FNF invaders! Neither team could upset the surprise package of #1 ranked combo "The Greek Crisis" maxilos & proXade.

Battle Royale qualification was the key for Genku and m0s to start their climb up the Top 10. Duo victories also helped Statix, Shoe & Artanix return to the upper tier. This movement sent Benjamin tumbling down the major ranks, but he remains steadfast in the Under 5000 ladder as Division 2 #1 Contender!

Banging, proXade and Menas were the big Division 2 movers this week. kingjolly made a surprise gain off a hard fought loss for Jammer2Omega (with Porygonix), even as he sits precariously at the bottom spot of the league Top 10! kingjolly is all but certain to fall down the ranks, inactive since his brutal Quarter Final loss to #1 fighter ElJobber during Tournament 63.
