SCOOP 2025 Overall Leaderboard Results

Typically, the race for SCOOP Player of the Series is tightly contested until the final day — as it was last year when Denis «aDrENalin710» Strebkov took the title at the last minute.

But SCOOP 2025 was different.

«king153246» led the Overall Leaderboard from Week 1 and never let go of the top spot.

He finished with 3,795 points — 795 points ahead of runner-up «Fal1st». This is almost certainly the largest margin of victory in SCOOP Overall Leaderboard history. For context: a tournament win awards 100 points, so the gap is equivalent to nearly 8 titles. Sensational!

  • 1st in the Week 3 High Leaderboard ($5K)
  • 2nd in the Week 3 Low Leaderboard ($1K)
