Welcome to this week's Super Smash Bros. Brawl update! With MLG Dallas in the rearview mirror, full focus is on the GameBattles Summer 2009 Season! With less than a month to play, things are getting interesting among the top teams. Thanks to BIC and their Comfort 3® Advance® Shavers, a $5,000 prize pool awaits the season winners. The top 64 ranked teams at the conclusion of the season will be sorted into a double-elimination bracket to determine a champion -- and it's free to register! Now, let's get caught up on the action over the last few weeks!

After a strong week, Triple R (166-34) has captured first place and has won five in a row to help cling onto a slim lead of only 20XP. Don't Get Salty, the #2 ranked player, has gone 25-1 since our last update and is riding a nine game win streak. Leon X (formerly #1) has fallen to third place, and a three game losing streak has him in danger of missing the podium. However, with a record of 149 wins and just 21 losses, it would take a significant losing streak for that to happen. Number four Likang2 (68-3) has impressed this season but trails third place by almost 500 XP, and InsaneInDaMembrain (71-6) has won 10 straight to move into the Top 5.

Meanwhile, #21 ranked Boku still has the most wins on the ladder with 201. Despite also having the most losses among the Top 50 ranked players, Boku is en route to a playoff position. Fan favorite Jumpman has moved into 7th place after winning seven matches over the last couple weeks. He is still undefeated, now at 57-0. Aside from him, ImSoSlick has the longest active win streak on the ladder: 27 games.

If you've been following the action this season, then you're probably a little shocked at how much the top ranks have changed. Every few days someone new is making a run towards the top! Still, remember that it's not just the top ranked players that make playoffs -- there's still plenty of time for anyone, even new players, to move into the Top 64! Be sure to register if you haven't already, and check back next week for another update!
