For the majority of the month, King L had a strong grasp on first place. We thought he would hold on strong, but unfortunately that wasnāt the case š„². Well into the refereeās September stoppage time, he fell to fifth place on the very last day!
The drama doesnāt end here. On the final day, it only got even more hectic. Going into Sept 30, Smigh J had one hand on first place, but the very next day, Abdul A played a game and tied Smigh on games played. This means that, for the month of September, we will have two champions for the very first time! Our new champions are Smigh J fromā¦ you guessed it, South Florida, and Abdul A from - for the first time - a new regionā¦ Houston! Both players played 23 times this past month! They will both receive the first place prize of three game credits and three free shirts!
These are Smigh and Abdulās first appearances in the top 100 since we introduced this monthly leaderboard back in May, and what a way to make your debut!Ā
Now that we have our first place situation resolved, we have to deal with our third, fourth and fifth place finishers. We have a similar situation here! On the very last day, King fell to fifth after leaderboard veteran Man S played on Sept 30, so, along with Guillermo M, they also finished the month tied on games (21 each)! We went ahead and did a tiebreaker for them (based on total career games played), meaning Man takes third, Guillermo takes fourth and King remains at fifth. However, all three will receive second/third place rewards!
Like Smigh and Abdul, King also never previously made it into the top 100, so we commend him for his efforts; he has rightfully earned his prizes for the month despite the late changes in the standings!
Letās talk about Man now, who makes a return to the top five for the first time since coming out on top in the inaugural May leaderboard! He played 21 times in September, earning himself two free game credits as well as two free shirts. We want to highlight the fact that Man is the only player in our leaderboard who has never left the top 15!Ā
Another leaderboard veteran, Michael G, finishes in the top 15 once again, finishing 12th with 17 games played in September. Since taking first place in his leaderboard debut back in June, he has never missed out on top 15 placement!
Finally, we want to shout out the rest of our top 15: Cristian M (6th), Sebastian L (7th), Berk S (8th), Chamir Y (9th), Jhojan M (10th), Raymond F (11th), Alfonso R (13th), Samuel Y (14th) and Ender V (15th)!
For the first time, we have a champion from outside of South Florida - albeit a shared champion with someone who is from South Florida š. Regardless, it was a long time coming for Texas; they have been placing in the top five for months now, and have now finally tasted victory. Guillermo, who placed fourth, is from Texas as well, playing in the Dallas region! We canāt help but wonder if this trend will continue. Will our Texas regions continue to do well in October or will South Florida reign supreme once again?Ā
We love to highlight the growing diversity of the Plei App community. A total of 36 different countries filled up our top 100 in September, with 9 of those countries being represented in the top 15. Overall, 153 unique nationalities represented the entire Plei App this past month. The āBeautiful Gameā in the flesh!Ā
