Player of the Week: Andy "icy" Keefe - Continuing to put up big numbers, Keefe finishes off Week 7 strong with a win over X3O. He totaled 28 frags and over 1.100 FPR in that match alone. His team also sits neck and neck with MoB Gaming for third place.

Surprise of the Week: Eximius Sports - Before being picked up from the Eximius Sports organization, the team was on its way to a four game losing streak. They are now currently #4 in CEVO Professional after their win over X3O. Keefe and Gibbons both nearly reached 30 frags a piece and dominated the match to put X3O in shock.

Stock Rising: Interstate95 - A lot has changed since they left the Revoltados eSports family, and it has changed for the better. Their three game winning streak can turn into four with a win over MoB on de_forge next week. Having beaten them previous this season, things are looking up for I95 in playoffs.

Stock Falling: Stacked Like Pancakes - The former proclaimed "online" heat is only a couple matches away from being ineligible for playoffs this season. After being picked up by Frag Dominant and receiving a sponsorship from AMD, you would think matters can only get better from there. They now stand a small margin away from elimination with only high hopes to ride on.
