You can find the Multi Template Ladder at:
https://www.warlight-mtl.com/Time for another weekly update. Rufus continues dominating the ladder, spending another week in first. The streak has reached 57 days by now. This week was poor compared to recent weeks though, as Rufus went 9-3 and lost 38 rating in the process. FiveStarGeneral rejoined the ladder as well, reducing the gap between first and second to 87. During the week the gap peaked above 200, so it's a big swing back in that sense, even if the lead is still big. FiveStarGeneral had a 2-0 week, though the wins were against much lower rated opponents and thus didn't make a huge rating difference. FSG rejoinining meant others were pushed back, and as such Hergul ends the week in third place. A 2-0 week for them too saw wins against Syphen and Jacoþ thε Restle§°ⁿ³, both good wins that still only resulted in 20 rating gained. Surprising everyone last week's fast climber Syphen kept the momentum going, reaching 4th place on the ladder in the process while breaking the 1900 rating barrier. Very impressive stuff from the win-streaking {101st}-member.
As implied above Syphen features on the quick climbers list of the week, alongside denna. and YHjeweetwel. Syphen's 8-1 week saw wins against Rufus, Jacoþ thε Restle§°ⁿ³, Edge and myself to gain a staggering 120 rating compared to last week, ending the week at 1939 rating. The timing of Syphen's first win against Rufus couldn't be better, as it happened while already at their highest rating ever achieved, propelling them even further ahead. They're currently on a 6 game win streak. Denna. went 5-4, yet still gained 69 rating. This is possibly overlapping update times at play that mean denna. really went 5-2 in the timespan included in the rating gain, but a nice week nonetheless that see them back in the 1700's. YHjeweetwel went 5-3, including a nice win against simone. This resulted in a 68 rating gain as well as a large jump in ranks.
Player count fell slightly to 79 this week, albeit that's still much higher than before the Harmony push. 67 players ranked matches last week's number, however, so the rotation in players just resulted in an unranked player dropping out. Currently ratings are relatively compact, enabling large rank jumps with minor rating gains until you reach the very top of the ladder. This should spread out over the coming months, but currently means everyone from 5th to 61st has a player within 16 rating of themselves, akin to one game or less.
Clan-wise we're looking at a similar picture to recent weeks. Harmony dominates the standings with 28 players on the ladder. Icelandic Turtles find themselves in second, sporting 7 active members. In joint third we see {101st} and CORP with 5 members each, followed by The Last Alliance and Optimum in joint 5th with 4 each. Currently 26 clans are represented on the ladder. The top 10 seems more diverse than usual, with 2 ONE! members, 2 Masters and one each of 7th Heaven, SNinja, {101st}, Harmony, Icelandic Turtles and Optimum represented at the top.

Player of the week:The Player of the Week segment is temporarily halted. Ralph typically does the interviews, but since he's had a very busy schedule recently we're falling behind on the interviews, so I'd rather suspend them until there's enough time to get them done once more.
That's it for this week, if you have anything you want to include in a future update contact me.
