The month nobody could stop go_dunk

• 15 Oct — 7 from 7
• 19 Oct — 9 from 9
• 20 Oct — 9 from 9
• 26 Oct — 8 from 8

Across the month he played 64 matches and lost 7, and all seven losses sit in the first half of October. His points differential of +345 is the highest in the system, and his rating moved from 4.55 to 4.77.

The streak has not ended. It keeps running until somebody beats him.

Four sessions, 24 matches, one defeat, and a run of 21 straight wins. That is the highest win rate of the month among players with more than 20 matches.

One of those matches finished 16-0.

prew gained 0.48 from 19 matches across three sessions, winning 17 (89%). That climb came from repeatedly beating higher-rated opponents.

Bom Bay gained 0.46 from 55 matches across seven sessions, winning 45 (82%). Almost the same climb over nearly three times the matches, and never losing more than two in a row all month.

The same gain, but not the same weight. A number built on more matches is the more reliable one.

October produced two statistics that mirror each other: go_dunk's 33, and mmiind's 15.

He kept at it, though — seven sessions across the month, and the losing run ended on 23 October.

ไอแป๋ง🐶 played 70 matches across ten sessions, winning 17 (24%), scoring 422 points and conceding 683.

Hutz Melno 👑 played 73 matches and lost 0.74 rating · เนเน่นายแน่มาก played 77 and lost 0.41.

All three are among the busiest players of the month. The rating counts every match played, so people who play a lot show bigger moves in both directions.

ไอแป๋ง appears in two of them, Iceko in two, and the pair they form together is one of the two.

June PRB THAI won 16-0 twice in one day, with different partners.

The award for the most complete day goes to Gas_Auan, who on 3 October won 16-0 and then, the very same day, lost 15-1.

20 Oct · Ginger social play — Golfpitch811 (2.20) and ~N@Th@L!€~ (2.32) faced a pair averaging 0.98 higher, and won 11-4.

~N@Th@L!€~ made the upset list twice in the same month, on 20 and 27 October.

His rating probably has not caught up with him yet.

Boss🌸 played 96 matches across 12 sessions · แหลมสิงห์ 91 across 12. Both turned up to every session there was.

And Bambi💖Aliya💖Alisha played 15 matches across two sessions, lost 10 in a row at one point, and kept going to the end.

The people who stay for every match on a day that is going badly are the reason the courts stay full.
