Updated weekly as the season unfolds. Full methodology linked below. The biggest jump came way of @CSUVikes_GG cruising through the @GLEC_GG playoff LAN bracket without dropping a game. @GopherEsports made a large leap as well by taking down then #11 Washington and HM Kansas in what is now a 5 series winning streak. Similar to West Virginia last week, returning to the TechChase 25 this week is @NorthwoodEsport . The Timberwolves competed at the River City Invitational this past weekend in Grand Rapids, MI.

The Weekly Matches file is updated for Week Ending 11/22/2025. Not many matchups this week, but very high stakes as @NACEsports Fall Playoffs come to a conclusion (Thursday Semifinals and Saturday Finals). This week also marks the end of the fall semester competition for both @PowerEsportsCon and @BigEsportsConf . Both of these conferences will continue into the spring semester. @Whats_the_daily Smash Advice, powered by @CitadelCTG and @GVSUEsports , is also this weekend, boasting a strong lineup of collegiate programs in attendance. More details to come later in the week! Link to the file below ๐Ÿ”ฝ

[ @BigEsportsConf ] #11 @UofWAesports vs #14 @GopherEsports - The Huskies, led by @embo_z , put up strong individual performances at supermajor @PortPriority , but thereโ€™s no break ahead - Washington now faces a Gopher squad that nearly toppled Michigan State last week.

Akron (14-3) has run the Buckeye State for years, but Cleveland State (22-4) is having their best season in program history - and they want revenge for their season-opening loss at Riptide 2025. The winner advances to the Elite Eight and qualifies for NACE Spring Superconference. The loser goes home knowing they couldn't beat their in-state rival when it mattered most. ๐Ÿ•–7:00 PM EST ๐Ÿ”— Free Streaming Link Below
