Team Judgernaut Dominates the Week 6

This week's Battle of the Donkeys was Team Judgernaut's turn to prove themselves, as Erptech helped them secure 3 gold medals.

This week's Battle of the Donkeys had "Judgernaut" written all over it, as they managed to take all three gold medals, simply crushing the competition.

The overall performance was once again less than stellar as only 2 people managed to ITM - Erptech for Team Judgernaut and Justkyle88 for Media Maniacs. Even so, there were several players that managed to get quite close: fostie(890) definitely helped the team with his rank, just as 1seednoir1 (900), ysessa (930) or Grimzor (1023) did for their respective teams. However at the end of the day, the best team was Team Judgernaut, with an excellent average of 750 conquering all the gold medals. Second place in all regards went to the Media Maniacs, who collected another 3 silver medals.

With this impressive set of wins, Team Judgernaut has managed to close some distance to the top rankings, and is now tied with Media Maniacs in terms of gold medals. The rankings have not changed though, as the Mod Squad is still in the lead, despite the poor run this week; they still slightly ahead of Team SoyCD, who also did not manage to collect any medals.
As announced in the restructuring news, there is now an additional prize pool which will be distributed among the top players of the BOD. As soon as the extra-pot reaches $490, we will give out 1 ticket to the Sunday Million and 5 buy-ins to the Daily Eighty Grand ($50+5) among those players who are currently the best ranked players of their respective teams. For more details check here: Battle of the Donkeys Round 2: New Structure, New Tournament, New Prizes!

Although there have only been 4 cashes in the last two weeks the additional prizepool has been growing consistently due to the money added by those people not using their staking deals. The pot is currently at $252,90 - which means we are halfway to reaching the payout border.
All players that manage to cash in a ranked team automatically have the right to stay in that team for next week. That means Erptech and Justkyle88 are already qualified to play for their teams once more. Confirm your spots here: Battle of the Donkeys November 2nd
