SMASH
Winter 2016 Season Update
Acoo has taken back over the lead position on the US board at an impressive 1250! Your #1 spot was incredibly short lived, Bright - who has now fallen to the second position. Nix is also kicked down to fourth with OwOb rejoining the fight in third! An impressive turnaround to combat Bright's insane leap to the top.
But that may be due to what appears to be an increased focus on EU! Bright has climbed up to be the first player I've seen in the 1300 range this season. He's followed still by Gala, who has not increased their score, and Sabbath has taken over SirTrishalX's position - with the later having fallen all the way to 9th with some massive ELO loss.
- US: acoo398 @ 1250, _BrightDarkness_ @ 1219, OwOb @ 1209
- EU: _BrightDarkness_ @ 1302, GalavonBordeaux @ 1224, Sabbath @ 1196
- Congratulations, folks! Keep fighting for more glory! Who will win the Winter 2016 Season? Stay tuned to both the SMASH Update & the SMASH Leaderboards to find out!

SMASH
Winter 2016 Season Update
What the.. _BrightDarkness_ has come out of nowhere and taken first on BOTH LEADERBOARDS! Despite acoo continuing to gain ELO points, BrightDarkness has thrown him from first! Nix has also overcome OwOb - but that's not the big news here!
It must be because he's getting bored with the EU leaderboard. As you can see, all three players keep their leaderboard position - but grow their ELO.
- US: _BrightDarkness_ @ 1219, acoo398 @ 1216, nix_ @ 1210
- EU: _BrightDarkness_ @ 1285, GalavonBordeaux @ 1224, SirTrishalX @ 1211

Winter 2016 Season Update
Winter 2016 is now well underway, and starting to get exciting. The US Leaderboard has changed quite a lot this week in stark contrast of the weeks before - acoo amassing another 12 ELO points to overtake nix_ as spot #1. However, it looks like nix has been on a losing spree - with OwOb and octodroid joining the board and poor nix_ down in 8th!
The EU Leaderboard has gone fairly steady. Bright and Gala have increased their ranking, and SirTrishalX has once again worked his way up to the board. Will be interesting to see if Trishal has what it takes to beat down the forerunners in this race for ELO.
- US: acoo398 @ 1213, OwOb @ 1191, octodroid @ 1187
- EU: _BrightDarkness_ @ 1260, GalavonBordeaux @ 1217, SirTrishalX @ 1205
