Top 5 Team Performances of the Week
1. X3O - Defending champions are showing they still have what it takes to be at the top. The recent win over eMazing Gaming proves they are still the #1 team in North America.
2. eMg - Although they haven't been tested by many thus far except for X3O, they've grown accustom to the challenge against them and will keep at it until they make their mark.
3. Iniquity - Undefeated with X3O, they're a new team to the division and turning heads quickly as they slipped by Frag Dominant and Cyberglobe in Week 1.
4. Cyberglobe - After a huge win over MNM they suffered a close loss to iniquity but leaves room for improvement as they are an upcoming contender in playoffs.
5. Dynamo - Their only loss was a huge shock to X3O but will look to bounce back and plow the chasing teams.

Player of the Week: Jordan "n0thing" Gilbert - If there is any player to watch for excitement, its this man right here. His amazing ability to frag players has shocked the nation for some time and will only get better from here on out. If they utilize him the right way, he will be rack up numbers like he is now for the remainder of the season.

Surprise of the Week: Iniquity - Not known to many, but known as "amazing" to others, they have jumped to a 3-0 start after coming from CEVO Main and aren't looking back. Their reputation as a team online has driven them to taking teams down to the last round.

Stock Rising: X3O - Their Week 1 schedule didn't really test them that much as they dominated each match with ease. Matt "PaTyoJoN" Iantosca averaged 20 total frags over the week and looks to keep up his efforts. Shaun "hostile" Catron is also a great utility fragger who can hold positions by himself to give the rest of the team more help on other areas of the map.

Stock Falling: Nightmare Online - Coming in their second season, they show signs of weakness very early in the first week. Winless after their first two matches, they continue to struggle with roster problems. Having a different lineup each match will only cluster the team into a deeper hole.
