Danny "cxzi" Strzelczyk continues to rack up cash from Rank S with a second place finish this week, although a tie in points with Alfonso "krZ" Fiorani sees the two players split their earnings this time around. Another two-way tie saw Rank S regulars Jeff "RZU" Ngo and Peter "ptr" Gurney also split the $400 fifth place prize, while three and two-way ties below them resulted in a handful of players narrowly missing out on the money.

PwnAlone caused the sole change in this week's overall Rank S earnings standings, jumping up two spots thanks to his first place finish. ptr also inched closer towards stealing away fourth place from Chris "Slash" Petersen, a feat which should be of little difficulty considering the player no longer has a spot in the league, and thus cannot contest for his spot. RZU's $200 bonus also pushed the player closer to breaking the five-digit earnings mark, which cxzi surpassed last week.
While he remains absent from the top of the Rank S leaderboard, LILMAN still managed a first place finish over in Rank G by ending the week with 102 points — just ten more than the runner-up, Brian2K.
The standings for the week were:
| Rank | Name | $ Prize |

| 2. | Brian "Brian2K" Ladron De Guevara |
$500.00 |

This week of Rank G also saw a handful of ties, with "miniature" and LiviD's Abdo "c4Lypso" Agha both garnering 84 points to split their prize. Just below them was another tie as Khizar "MoMo" Rehman and Peter "Asuna" Mazuryk also found themselves ending the week with 82 points apiece, narrowly missing out on a four-way tie for third place. Last week's Rank G winner, Michael "Turismo" Haas, was notably absent from the playing field, gaining just two points this time around as a likely result of practicing with his new team.
