FPL Recap - MarKE's conquest continues for a third week
Edgar "MarKE" Jimenez's seat on the first place throne in FACEIT Pro League NA has yet to be toppled for a third week in a row, as the Mexican takes home the $1,500 prize for yet another time. However, the competition has begun to close in on his reign, as XFORCE player Derek "desi" Branchen was only 16 points away from tying with MarKE. In the previous week, Ryan "Winsum" Johns sat in second place with 40 points less than MarKE.
