COMEBACK KID KEEPS ON CUMMING

MOSKO'S IMPOSSIBLE RESET

Mosko (comeback kid) completed Waxball's first-ever 0-3 to 3-3 reset by edging Havi (Papi Coop) 111.68-108.30 in this week's 100/100 Heated Rivalry. Three weeks ago he was alone at the bottom. Three consecutive wins later, he is one of six managers sitting on 3-3.

The 3.38pt escape gives Mosko a 3-2 series lead and preserves the rivalry's perfect 100/100 score. Three of the Jac/kobs' five meetings have now been decided by fewer than seven points, one of the other two being the 2024 Toilet Bowl final. This is a series that will be closely watched for years to come.

Mosko's turnaround reminds me a little of Erik (Pamela Mari Ohno Dagoberg) last year. After starting 2025 1-4, Erik spent the rest of the year renaming his team after each opponent's mother, winning eight of these battles and ending the regular season in 3rd place at 9-5. poonfullofsugar became comeback kid in Week 4, and the comeback kid has not lost since.

Havi, meanwhile, has lost consecutive 100/100 Heated Rivalries. He entered Week 5 in 3rd place at 3-1, lost to Trav (darryluvr3000), then lost to Mosko and now finds himself outside the playoff picture at 3-3.

THE WEEK NOBODY WANTED TO SCORE

Trav put up Week 6's highest score of 130.64pts, the lowest weekly high in Waxball history. The league averaged just 109.79pts, the fifth-lowest weekly average on record. Trav has now produced the week's highest score twice in a row immediately after producing its lowest: 84.78pts in Week 4, 149.34pts in Week 5 and 130.64pts in Week 6. No manager has ever gone from the weekly low to consecutive weekly highs before.

Will (poon messiah) put up the week's fourth-highest score and still lost to Trav 130.64-118.58. Will is still yet to defeat Trav, falling to 0-4 in their all-time series. He drops to 2-4 and 11th place despite a perfectly even 33-33 all-play record, the fifth-best mark in the league, while Trav climbs to 3-3 with his second consecutive win after finding himself in last place as recently as Week 4.

FROM THE NORTH POLE TO THE SOUTH PAUL

League leader Miles E (Daddy Campbell) beat league dunce Paul (helloimpaul) 119.16-92.22, extending his winning streak to five and Paul's losing streak to three. Miles' run is tied for the second-longest regular-season winning streak in Waxball history, bested only by Erik's six straight in 2024.

At the bottom, Paul is seeing red everywhere: in the standings, in his hair and on the wax strips. 🙈 He leaves Week 6 alone at 1-5 while Miles leaves it alone at 5-1. The only previous Waxball manager to start 1-5 was Trav in 2025; he recovered to 6-8, but still missed the playoffs. No manager has started 5-1 and missed the playoffs: Miles is only the second to reach that mark, after 2025 Paul.

SHE'S A NEW YORK 3. AND AN LA 3. AND A CHICAGO 3. SHE'S A 3 BRO.

Six managers now share a 3-3 record, packing Blue, Erik, Nic, Havi, Trav and Mosko into the middle of the table. A single game separates 2nd place from 9th. More than six managers have shared a record only once before: seven teams were 2-1 after Week 3 of 2025.

Nic (Stat Fag) ended a three-game losing streak with the week's second-highest score and his highest score since Week 1, beating Erik 128.94-95.92. Erik drops from 2nd to 5th despite having the league's second-best point differential at +74.10. Both managers were without their first-round picks, with Nic's Amon-Ra St. Brown and Erik's Ja'Marr Chase on bye.

Sam (mistahbigdick) scraped out yet another win, this time edging Blue (blueballs) 114.90-109.30, tying their all-time series 2-2 and moving to 4-2. Lucky Big Dick is the only manager in the top seven with a negative differential at -14.06. His last two wins have come by just 6.16pts and 5.60pts, and his 4-2 record contrasts his 31-35 all-play score. There is precedent: Milo won the 2025 title with a 73-81 all-play record, while Mosko made the same playoff race at 76-78 and finished 3rd.
