Both wins are Masters, so he is a good Ranking position now (2000 points only from these two events).
(funny, but I could have written excatly this about FiveStarGeneral, if he didn't boot before the picks and would win the final game, what a pity...)

1 pcs. major, 1 pcs. 500 Series and 3 pcs. 250 Series events finished.
Still Kicorse and Quicksilver are in the two first places! Congrats!
Timinator came up to the 3rd place, winning two smaller events (500 + 250 Series) plus a second place too, very nice month, congrats!
Edge has got still a safe place in the TOP8, MoD did a few nice finals, so he came up to the 5th place.
Juan arrived to the TOP8 with his second Masters win, good job!
Cluster and alexclusive are still keep their position in the TOP8

Rento, FiveStarGeneral and Buns are on fire too and are close to the magic TOP8.

Who will be that 8 players who will fight for the year-end trophy?
If you check the TOP20 picture, you can find many exciting candidates.
I still feel that it will be a good fight for that TOP8 position and I still like it. ;)
GL&HF!

Brilliant work as ever Ekstone. I'm even enduring this damned grass court season because I love the AWP Tour so much :)

Thanks ekstone. We like you too ;)

Amazing.

I would like to be on the invite list, if you have free space =)

cheers

GL&HF!

My busy times are over, now I have more time for Warlight again, hallelujah! :)
So...

First, I make the congrats post for the only finished event in July.
Then I made a short monthly post (and the necessary update work before...) for July
(then I carry on the work with this month (the only problem is that the USO will start tomorrow :O))

94. AWP World Tour - 500 Series - Poland

Congratulations to kicorse for his 2nd Tour event win!

Here are the TOP16:

Monthly Tour and Tour Race Update - 07/2018
The tables below are based on the status of the 1st of August.

This is an irregular monthly update, because I had no time for full updates and only one event finished in July, I did only the two Ranking List update. From next month (in the next week) will be full updates again.

  Only one 500 Series event finished in July, and kicorse won that, which means he was able to increase his advantage. Although Quicksilver with that SF still follow him close.
  
  They two are the dominator of 2018 so far (although only 14 of 50 events finished).
  And Timinator is too, despite his point disadvantage now.
  And maybe rakleader will focus again on the Tour, after he led the Ninjas to the Clan League A divison ;)
  And hope will be much more hard aspirants for the TOP8 to reach the year-end event :D

  GL&HF!

Two events finished in August, so congrats time!

93. AWP World Tour - 250 Series - Fast Earth

Congratulations to kicorse for his 3rd Tour event win!

Here are the TOP16:




96. AWP World Tour - 250 Series - Georgia ArmyCap Bomb
https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=25240
Congratulations to kicorse for his 4th (!) Tour event win!

Here are the TOP16:




Very impressive performance from kicorse!
Not only that he won the last three finished events (he is the only winner for months ;) ), but if you check he has got very very much finals positions in many ongoing events where he is still fight for newer event wins (and points)! :O

So, two very strong pretenders arrived to challenge the reigning King, Timinator!
Quicksilver and kicorse will give him I good figth for the year end first position race I think.
And I hope, that after he led the Ninjas to the CL-A, rakleader will focus again to the Tour and get back in the race again :)
Aaaand, if I speak hopes, I hope too that Buns finally start to play on smaller events to give himself a chance to the first spots too.
That would be a bloody fight for the first place between that magical 5! :D
Come on guys we need the show! ;)

I thought 8 was the magic number?

you know I just realized I never knew what AWP stood for till now XD

Has the last slam of the year started already?

Not until October I think.

I thought 8 was the magic number?

You are right, 8 potential number one aspirants is better than 5. ;)
Seriously, it would be cool if the 8 player who qualifier to the Tour Final, still will have the chance to reach the first place :O
That would be very exciting, so come on guys! ;)

you know I just realized I never knew what AWP stood for till now XD

The gun? ;)

Has the last slam of the year started already?

kicorse is right, it will start on the first Monday of October.
I will update the "Future event schedules" section here soon.

Edited 9/23/2018 04:45:04

So there's to be an event modelled on the ATP Finals? Will it have a group stage and be worth 1500 points like the ATP event, or just a simple knockout?

I guess it will start in spring 2019 after every other 2018 tournament is finished?

Nice idea!

Yes, despite it's name is the year end Tour Final, it will be around in spring 2019 (when all the 2018 events will be finished, you are right)

And the event details are not finished yet regarding the exact format, but won't be group stage like in the tennis ATP Finals, "only" knockout, but not a simple one! I mean, not a single elimination Warzone tournament for 8 players, but the games will be created manually. Becuase will be best of X rounds format instead of only the one win game wich possible with the single elimination WZ tourney, with personally choosed templates (and vetos and etc.).

And I am not sure about if it will give points too or "only" the World Champion title, but likely will give points too, just like the ATP Finals.

Soon, I will clarify the exact format.
You just try to finish in the TOP8, because it will be cool party ;)
