There was just one change in the top 10 players on the leaderboard over the weekend with Lithuania's "InfoDealer" slipping into the eighth spot on the leaderboard.
This pushed the former top-ranked online tournament player in the world in Chile's Nicolas "PKaiser" Fierro out of the top 10 and into the 11th spot on the leaderboard.
