Weekly Rankings Recap - 5/15/2016

A massive week in The Great Arena pushed a whole new class of "names to watch" into the spotlight, leaving the top of the ranks stable - but on notice! It was all thanks to a stacked weekend that capped weekly Monday Night Invasion and Friday Night Fights with a double header of the 2016 Fighter For Europe tournament, and Pre-Show 79!

The big mover was Mime, whose susceptibility to repeat attacks from a crazed Knickxasawrrrr helped him pick up another win on Friday. Banging's play for the top of the ranks backfired on Sunday thanks to a dominant performance by defending KFL Champion: Statix. The champ stays steady at the centre of the Invasion/Alliance struggle, an outlier in the major ranks.

Corrupt UlcaTron & Corrupt hydraslash emerged as a fresh threat in the Duo Division stakes. They come as a package deal with newly returned LordSkarlet, whose minting as "The Fallen" has quickly started a turnaround of his 2016 record: 2-9 after this week. With his Corrupt allies rising to #6 in the Duo Division Top 10, it could be a recipe for success for all parties!

Fighter For Europe winner Nephrite missed out on Division 2 gold, but firmly plants himself back in the action. Runner-up Chromatose, also worth consideration. Former champion Benjamin had the best luck, keeping himself in the hunt for a title he never expected to lose!
