Luke's apparently live ranked 101. If sio, he will need more to get into the top 100. Still, well done to him

 Thanks for the heads up, Indy. I was going by what was posted in the tournament thread, which suggested live ranked 99, but I'll keep an eye out for the next set of rankings and update accordingly. (And maybe he'll get a few more wins and definitively get into the top 100! But certainly a new CH even at 101.)

Updated narratives for Kyle, to reflect today's win, and for Luke, to reflect he's going to be just outside the top 100 (and not just inside it).

 

Jon -- I was working on it while you posted asking someone to do it!

Thanks CD - I half expected you to also suggest Hollie Smart, but not close enough to the detail to know if that is appropriate or not!?
