Whoops, completely forgot to do the update yesterday, sorry about that. Guess we're going to see some more wonky stats due to overlapping weeks then. First of all, Happy New Year! Hope you had a good one, and well wishes for all in the coming year. This week started out with Rufus and FiveStarGeneral battling it out for first, constantly overtaking each other. However, a few days in FSG started a vacation causing him to leave the ladder, as a result Rufus sits solidly in first once more. 11-4 leaves him 1 rating down from a week ago, but 57 rating ahead of second place. Speaking of, Aika climbed to second on the ladder with a 5-2 week including wins against both Rufus and Xenophon. Xenophon in third went 4-2, beating tornado to solidify third for the moment.

The quick climbers of the week were Ursus, philippe and tito. Ursus went 11-5, starting out the new year strong by reentering the 1900's, gaining 76 rating and taking over 5th on the ladder. Philippe's 7-4 saw wins against SweetSasyMolasy and yeahboi37, resulting in a rating gain of 66 and securing a rating above 1500 once more. Slightly ahead we find tito, who went 4-0 this week, establishing a 5 game win streak and making a major rank jump by gaining 63 rating.

Activity is down since last week, evidently getting back to work after the Christmas break means less time for the MTL. As of writing we're on 76 active players, 69 of which are ranked. 7 unranked players is more than last week, and the highest rating among them is a rejoining Motoki sitting on 1890 rating and 7 finished games.

In the clans department we see Harmony still on top with 11 players present, while Optimum and Wink in second have 6 each (bear in mind I'm writing this as Plat's kicking people from wink, so that information will be incorrect once this is posted). The Last Alliance, CORP and Harmony CW have 5 players each. The top 10 sees three Optimum players, two Wink members, one Icelandic Turtle, one Myth Buster, one Master and one The Last Alliance'er. There's 28 clans represented on the ladder.

The Top 10:

Rank	Player			Rating	W/L	Rank Change
1	Rufus			2086	11/4	0
2	Aika			2029	5/2	3

(NEW implies the player wasn't ranked a week ago, whatever the reason for that may be)

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.

Time for another weekly update. This has been a week with Rufus mostly on top, though FiveStarGeneral did briefly hold and contest the top spot at the start of the week. Since FSG left the ladder Rufus went on an absolute tear, with a monstrous 21-3 week, resulting in 85 rating gained while in first place. This has cemented a 74 rating lead over second place Aika. Aika was no slouch this week either though, going 16-4 and gaining 74 rating to keep the lead similar to last week. Octane rejoined the ladder and settled into third, one rating behind Aika, and continued the trend of the top of the ladder having great weeks with a 9-2 performance. The internal head-to-head in the top three saw Aika beat Rufus twice, Octane beat Aika, and Rufus beat Octane. Rounding out the top five we saw an Optimum-slaying tornado go 3-0 and a rejoining Hergul who's yet to finish a game.

The top climbers of the week were Platinum, Rufus and Aika. Since I already talked about Rufus and Aika, the runner ups were Master Cowboy and Fisherking70. Platinum's week saw plenty of activity with a 16-5 record including wins against both Xenophon and Ursus, for a wild 213 rating gained. Master Cowboy went 5-1 with the strongest win being bhj6 for 73 rating gained. Fisherking70's 4-0 week extended their win streak to 6, saw a win against yeahboi37 and resulted in 50 rating gained.

Activity jumped all the way up to 83 in the middle of the week, up 7 compared to a week ago, though that number mellowed out to 79 as of writing. There's currently 12 unranked players on the ladder, with Motoki as the highest rated at 1993 rating. The ladder generally seems unusually stacked with talent at the moment, and we briefly saw 11 players above 1900 rating at one point (including Motoki and master of desaster), though with a couple of drop outs that has dropped to 9 at present.

In the clans department Optimum and Harmony are in joint first with 11 members each on the ladder. In third we find Masters with 6 players, then The Last Alliance, Harmony CW and Icelandic Turtles have 5 members each in joint fourth. Optimum dominates the top 10 with 5 players there, while five clans have one member each, those being Magnus, Myth Busters, Icelandic Turtles, SNinja and Masters. There's currently 30 clans represented on the ladder.

The Top 10:

Rank	Player			Rating	W/L	Rank Change
1	Rufus			2161	21/3	0
2	Aika			2087	16/4	0

Time for another weekly update. I'm pretty sleep deprived so if I write some nonsense that'd be why. This was a week with lots of ups and downs which eventually settled with Octane in first place. Something I didn't mention last week was the absolutely insane level of activity compared to normal. At one point only three players in the top 10 had less than 15 finished games within the past 7 days, and one of those still had 10. Definitely the highest we've seen since the ladder relaunched. Activity this week hasn't been quite as insane, but it's not far off. In the top 12 players the lowest number of finished games this week was 7 by tornado, everyone else had 10 or more. The high activity level set up several players to have wild rating swings along the way, and as such we saw Rufus drop from 2161 to somewhere in the 2080's, only to reclimb to 2149 at the end of the week. Octane went 9-1, beating ranks 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, while only dropping to 5th place Xenophon. Rufus went 14-6, starting out rough but winning his last 8 in a row to salvage a solid hold on second place. Aika in third also went 14-6, finding time to beat Jacoþ thε Restle§°ⁿ³ twice in one week.

The major outlier in the top 10 this week was FiveStarGeneral who dropped by 130 rating and down to 8th in the standings following a rough 7-game losing streak which is still ongoing. When your baseline is almost 2100 rating losses hurt a lot, and FSG certainly felt that this week.

The quick climbers of the week were Platinum, SweetSasyMolasy and sfj. Platinum's back to back quick climber spots were fuelled by a 13-3 week for 189 rating gained, beating both Aika, Rufus, Motoki and tornado along the way. As such he now finds himself in 7th on the ladder. SweetSasyMolasy may have been kicked off the top spot in terms of activity, but with 19 games played and 12 wins among them this was still a highly active and very succesful week for the Harmony member who gained 113 rating. The most impressive win of this week was against Master Turtle. Another Harmony member, sfj went 10-7 and gained 103 rating, benefitting heavily from the higher ratings that newcomers to the ladder had to offer.

Following a recruitment effort from Master Cowboy, we saw a significant spike in activity on the ladder. As a result activity peaked at 93 concurrent players, a record since the relaunch. In classic MTL fashion however, that number dropped towards the weekend, and at time of writing we have 87 on the ladder. At only 69 ranked players, we have 18 unranked and as such newer players on the ladder this week, highest rated of which is master of desaster at 1876 rating (who admittedly is only unranked because his games from July started expiring without being refreshed with new games).

In the clans department Harmony is on top with 16 players on the ladder. Optimum in second has 11, while Masters and Icelandic Turtles have 6 each. In a tie for fifth we find The Last Alliance, CORP and Harmony CW, each with 5 players on the ladder. Optimum continues dominating the top 10, with 5 members there. Similarly to last week we have no other clan above one member, the represented clans being Magnus, Myth Busters, Masters, Icelandic Turtles and ONE!.

Rank	Player			Rating	W/L	Rank Change
1	Octane			2170	9/1	2

Another weekly update, slightly delayed. I saved the stats I need around the time I normally do the update though, so it should be accurate anyways. Octane spent the week in first place, mostly with a solid rating lead. 3-0, though the most notable win was vs Hergul, so no properly high-rated opponents. Rufus ends the week in second after an 11-4 week. Despite not picking up any 2k+ rated wins this week, the performance was enough to gain rating, and as such Rufus is currently 41 rating behind Octane. Motoki in third continued his impressive climb, going 14-3 on the week and breaching the 2100 barrier for the first time. A loss to Ursus last night put him back below 2100, but it's still a +89 rating week. Platinum briefly left the ladder shortly before I took the stats, meaning we have a 10th place below 1900 rating again, though the gap between 9th and 10th is currently 78 rating points.

The quick climbers of the week were MoriOri, Word Walker and Motoki, with honourable mention CraZy. MoriOri went 14-2, beating Ursus, Motoki, Xenophon and Platinum in the process, in order to gain 237 rating. This put them back in the top 10, although their absence from the top mostly came from a boot and non-joining spree back in October. Word Walker went 9-5 in order to gain 105 rating. A low starting point rating-wise set up great conditions in terms of gaining rating back, and as such the wins massively outweighed the losses. CraZy went 8-4, including wins against both Aika and Rufus, resulting in 67 rating gained. The positive streak resulted in CraZy breaking into the 1950's for the first time since before the MTL relaunched, though two of the losses coming in as the most recent results does mean the rating isn't quite at its peak anymore.

Participation rose slightly to 88 from last week, though the vast majority of the week saw 89 players on the ladder (thank you Platinum for leaving just before I grabbed the stats, and rejoining just after). 70 ranked players means 18 unranked, highest rated of which is SerFen's 1887, 7 games away from being ranked.

In the clans department Harmony remains on top with 16 players joined. Optimum in second has 10 players, while Masters, The Last Alliance, Icelandic Turtles and Harmony CW all have 6 players each on the ladder. The top 10 sees 3 Optimum members, 2 Masters and 2 Icelandic Turtles, while Magnus, Myth Busters and ONE! all have one player each represented. There's currently 28 clans on the ladder.

The Top 10:

Rank	Player			Rating	W/L	Rank Change
1	Octane			2188	3/0	0
2	Rufus			2143	11/4	0
3	Motoki			2097	14/3	1
4	Ursus			2045	12/3	5
5	Aika			2030	7/6	-2
6	tornado			1980	1/0	0
