Top Plays and Results

Team Envy used a 10-kill chicken dinner in the second match to help catapult itself into the lead:

However, Cloud9 posted the most kills in one match Sunday thanks to a 13-kill chicken dinner in the fifth round.

That launched Cloud9 into first going into the final match, but the team finished a disappointing 15th in the sixth and final match to all but eliminate itself from a first-place Battle Royale finish.

Wildcard Gaming took the final match with a 10-kill round:

However, Team Envy put its foot on the gas and finished second in that match, giving itself an easy victory after Cloud9's finish.

Other teams found success on this day: Simplicity got things going with a four-kill chicken dinner en route to a fourth-place Battle Royale finish:

Endemic took the third stage, but it wasn't enough for the team to finish in the money:

Endemic wasn't the only tough-luck loser, as The Happy Campers won the fourth stage but did not finish top-six:

The overall results were fairly surprising given the Phase II table leading into the NPL Battle Royale: Team Envy is in danger of relegation at 11th, and Cloud9 is just outside the top four.

The table flip-flopped in the Battle Royale, though, as first-place Tempo Storm couldn't get much going en route to a 12th-place finish.

The NPL schedule will begin Week 4 of Phase II on Saturday at 5:15 p.m. ET.
