January Promotion Showdown
The battle for the first place $8,000 has never been so close before. Read on for an update on the January promotion as well as news on the February Top100
The promotion will only last till the
26th January this time, and the top of the leaderboard looks
extremely tight.
mStar991
is defending his lead, but Nani74 is very close behind. Every Strategy point seperating them currently equals a dollar in the leaderboard!
The auto-proclaimed favourite 
tmy, who was placed very high at the time of last week's update, is now behind both, and has also been overtaken by German SuperModerator 
schiep, so he now sits in 4th place. However, as you can see, the gaps are very small:
| 1 | mStar991 |
58 711 | $8000 |
| 2 | Nani74 |
55 637 | $5000 |
| 3 | schiep |
50 820 | $3000 |
| 4 | tmy |
50 107 | $2000 |
Even further down, the race is exciting; only 600 StrategyPoints seperate places 44 and 52! Players like the English coach 
Phisherman, keltr and many others are within a inch of doubling their share of the prize money.
