APT Player of the Series update
Bottleneck! It is a tight race for the APT Player of the Series title with several players very close in points. Up top is multi winner “putipupu” who stole the lead from DblBarrel in Day 11. Also jumping ranks was Ho Bao Qiang “Yummers” who moved from 10th position to 4th rank. Yummers cashed in an incredible six events in Day 11. He is clearly the hungriest player in the roster and will be the one to keep tabs on throughout the final day.
