Weekly Rankings Recap - 7/10/2016

A new, first-time Division 2 Champion leads the charge this week: avenger45 stunning everyone with his surprise title victory in a tournament announced just five days prior to it happening! He supplants "The Franchise" Poasty, who was unable to follow-up his exciting Pre-Show 80 win after suffering a career threatening injury just two days later! Poasty's title reign officially ends at twenty-three days.

The big rankings movers coming out of the Division 2 title event are: Politics, who made an exciting break for the Semi Finals after pledging to fight on for his fallen comrade Menas! The other big stand-out was Chromatose, who breaks into the Independent European ranks with a bitter second Runner-Up appearance. He played second fiddle to Nephrite earlier in the year in Tournament 67.

"The Fallen" LordSkarlet hasn't breached the top ranks, but will get another shot at the KFL Championship thanks to his impressive win in the July 4th American Dream Battle Royal! He managed to navigate a field clustered with rival factions working to undo him. Alliance kingpin Statix will await a rematch.
