Top 5 Team Performances of the Week
1. Frag Dominant - Huge win over Evil Geniuses in Week 4 and another win over Dynamo puts them in the #7 position.
2. Cyberglobe - First team to beat X3O this season and did so in a big fashion. Now bumped to #4 in the standings, they are eager for a playoff seat this season.
3. Evil Geniuses - Although they suffered a loss to FD, they came away with a win in overtime versus Cyberglobe to be ranked #2.
4. X3O - Continuing to hold the lead, X3O sneaks a win by Revoltados eSports to get the map out of the way.
5. Revoltados eSports - Looking for another playoff spot, they sit close to the edge at #5. Their win over MNM in overtime increased their lead and could use a big win over another top 5 team.

Player of the Week: Paul "Adrenaline" Baker : He played a huge role in their win against X3O with 24 frags, 3 assists and a .960 FPR. Just like the rest of the team, his fragging ability is keeping them alive in the run for playoffs.

Surprise of the Week: Frag Dominant - Some close wins over Dynamo Gaming and the #1 ranked team in North America, Evil Geniuses. A lot could of had to do with the map selection and how often the teams practiced. It's not played as often as others which ends up relying on aim.

Stock Rising: Evil Geniuses - Despite their loss on de_tuscan last week, the team is now sitting in second place. They are neck and neck with Iniquity at the moment and it will be a race to the ninth week.

Stock Falling: Nightmare Online - Since Darkside dropped out of CEVO Pro due to inactivity, Nightmare Online will have to take the fall. Their forfeit win against Darkside gives them a "W" but not enough to climb the ladder. With a different roster on every match night, its hard to tell whats to become of them.
