Here are your long-awaited Week 6 Players of the Week!
Legacy: thechosenpie It's not easy to beat a 5-0 player who's been always lethaling their opponents in spectacular fashion. But Thechosenpie got his first THL win. A 3-2 win wasn't enough to turn around Saronite Pain Gang to get a win against the very strong Golden Wisps, but there's definitely more to this pie than meets the eye. Keep your forks out! - LotusKnight Hero: Thalfix Thalfix keeps a positive winrate while taking down 4-seed juggernaut Anfal in a close 3-2 victory, allowing VOSC to edge out Bolder Jams 14-12. Thalfix moves to 4-2 on the season with another awesome showing! - Itachi Pro: unlimited_POWAH In an absolute nail-biter last week, Faction bested defending champions, Bread Ape, in a 14-13 contest. The final 3 games went to unlimited_powah as he pulled off a reverse sweep to seal the week for his team. A clutch performance fitting for the name. Beware Faction and their powah! - basedinc Battlegrounds: UwugentPWE To no one's surprise this week's PoTW is AgentPWE with an absolutely insane double 1st in both matches. AgentPWEs fantasic finish has catapulted Concede Ur Match into a top 3 position after having a very shaky and difficult start to the season. Keep an eye on Concede Ur Match in the final week as they look to continue their dominant play and secure a playoff berth. - Koroden Wild NA: Risa The week 6 player of the week for wild NA goes to Risa, who earns the nod for a 3-1 win over Nowayh that gave them their first match win of the season, and helped propel The Golden Hand to their first weekly win as well, a 16-13 victory over the Meta Droolers. Hopefully a sign of good things to come in the second half of the season! - DoctorBOMD EU Wild: Fayiron After a solid start, our EU Wild player of the week struggled to get a win. This all changed when Fayiron secured an impressive 3-2 win over one of the best players from the NA series, Battletagger. The captain seals his spot in the two seed and shows why leading by example pays off. - nhlnjfan1

Legacy : @IDK | TPSS | JRJuggerLaw
It’s tough to beat the best team in your conference. IDK has not had the best start so far, with a 2-2 record. you’re facing the wallet warriors’ Dragonninja who is 100 pr above yours, but you’re a juggernaut. That difference means nothing. With this in mind, JR brought his druid, paladin and shaman to a strong 3-1 win. Bringing his team back into contention in the crazy silver conference. - LotusKnight Hero: @F2L/Clowns/AFG | Nejiboston Nejiboston notches his first hero series win of the season with a decisive 3-1 victory over Heatshock, lifting F2L Black over VOSC 18-7. A possible turn of the corner for F2L who have maintained a decent position despite the struggles at the 1 seed. - Itachi Pro: @oddlaw Given no chance of beating an undefeated F2L outfit, the Aussie Pro Mafia once again put a contract out on a more fancied opponent. With the match tied 2 apiece Oddlaw looked to take out Qsns. Going out to a 2-0 lead Qsns put up a fight taking it to game 5, but fatigue was only ever going to kill his opponent. Oddlaw's warlock taking game 5 and delivering F2L their first hit of the season. - Bonemasher BGs: @Riots In Lobby 1 full of Leapers we looked for a hero to save us from Froggery. Riots answered that call with a 1st place but the hero soon became the villain as Lobby 2 Riots found not 1 but 2 golden Leapers to take a great 2nd place as Risky Refresh closes the gap on #1. - Koroden(edited) [7:25 AM] . Wild NA: @Concernedmom In a battle for the top of the green conference standings, the two remaining undefeated teams, Hair Club and Meta Droolers, faced off last week. After 4 matches they found themselves locked in a tight 11-10 contest, with the final coming down to ConcernedMom vs Godbout123. Overcoming all his concerns, Mom came out on top, reverse sweeping Godbout's Aggro Priest to earn his team the 14-13 win, and week 5 Wild-NA Player of the Week honors along the way. The win keeps Hair Club bald in the loss column, with 94 points and a 5-0 record to start the season. - DoctorBOMD Wild EU: Hijo Hijo came in as a sub against one of the strongest teams in the Wild EU series. He was facing one of the best players in Lasagne, the top player in our NA power rankings, and had the pressure of the entire week resting on his shoulders with their match as the decider. With a clutch match win in 5 games though, Hijo sealed the week for A Little Agony and kept them in 1st place! - nhlnjfan Legacy: @AlwaysLethal
AlwaysLethal is going on a rampage this season. And another victim has arrived. One of THL's craziest players, HonestZaib, did his best, but was not able to stop one of the only 6 players who brought did not bring shaman in legacy from winning a match. This match certified the clinch for the GoldenWisps, who barely held back DadLegend. Looks like not missing lethal is paying off. - LotusKnight Hero: @qUAZ Hero's week 3 Player of the Week is quaz, who didn't let a 136 PR deficit stand in the way of taking down his competition. Putting up a 3-2 win in the 5 seed helped Bolner Jams 03 to a 15-13 victory over Tan Pam's Surf Slam, and kept them tied for the top total on the series leaderboard. - DoctorBOMD Pro: @qsns The young gun (to THL) for F2L, Qsns, came in clutch last week against Undivided to keep F2L the only undefeated team in Pink. In a tight 3-2 series Qsns clutched game 5 and improved to 2-1 personally. The F2L Pro dynasty lives on. - basedinc Battlegrounds: @yachster After a meta shakeup Yachster still maintains his dominance as one of the top point getters this season. With 2- 2nds Yachster keeps his team within striking distance of a playoff spot as the season end edges ever so close. Great job and best of luck! - Koroden [7:36 PM] . Wild NA: @ElectricSheepCity WTF entered week 4 winless and searching for something to help jumpstart their season. Down 6-10 after 3 matches, things weren’t looking great. But that’s when our Wild-NA Player of the Week ElectricSheepCity, faced with a tough matchup against recent Rank 1 Legend TomCarter, threw the team on his back and pulled out a sweep. The 3-0 pulled WTF even for the week, and set them up for their first win with another sweep in the final. Well done! - DoctorBOMD Wild EU: @alb987 Alb remains the last undefeated player in the Wild EU Series, and deserves even more credit this week. With the week on the line, he entered his match against Week 2's Player of the Week Tauntischeat. A win not only kept Alb's record perfect, but also guaranteed F2L: Celadon didn't fall to the top seeded Agony. As it turns out, a little agony is no match for our player of the week, with Alb coming on top 3-2. - nhlnhfan1 Legacy: Rizen
Rizen came in huge this week for Chaos Theory taking a reverse sweep and taking his first win of the season to put his team in position to win against Amber Flight Gaming. Congrats on the win! - DoctorFeesh Hero: Thalfix Getting off to a 3-0 start is no easy feat but Thalfix has made it look as easy as 1,2,3. With a 3-0 sweep this week Thalfix denied key points ensuring that VoSC came out with the victory in a very close match up. We will have to see if they can continue the great gameplay! Congratulations - Koroden Pro: MoneyPockets After receiving several nominations 2 weeks ago for coming in clutch for a Sushi Rats victory, Moneypockets has come up with a sweep in a Sushi Rats victory over HypeHorizon last week as well! 2 incredible weeks for Moneypockets and Sushi Rats already off to an incredible 2-0 start. This team is off to a hot start and Moneypockets is already looking like a player to watch for this season. - basedinc Battlegrounds: Sazuru The man was unconscious playing on Sunday night coming in 1st place TWICE for his team Risky Refresh. Wonderful fast start in Round 1, got him pouncing on the competition and ended up battling his teammate in an almost epic golden boat battle with Terpsy defeating him for top spot. Second round proved to be not as "easy" but building a strong comp he came out on top scoring 20pts for his team. Super strong play by Sazuru!! Congrats!! - Koroden Wild-NA: Reverb “Having only won 2 matches in 2 weeks Bash Bros took on wild powerhouse and reigning champions F2L. At 2 matches a piece the final match was a winner takes all affair. Reverb-erations could be felt across the wild landscape as the prey became the predator, taking the points and sending a message to the other teams, if it bleeds we can kill it!” - Bonemasher (the real one, not the pretend flower one) Wild-EU: Adrien123 EAW were up against a seemingly insurmountable challenge in GOKU NUMBER 1. The norwegian himself had already completed a sweep and both teams were neck and neck through the first 4 matches. Goku may be number 1, but that wasn't enough to keep our player of the week from sealing his team's win in week 3. Adrien123 came in and saved the week for his team with a 3-1 win over Burnt. The win put his team on top with a 14-12 score to close out the week! - MartyB |
