Reigning world champ Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa went 6-5 in his MPL matches in the November Zendikar Rising League Weekend to tie Rei Sato for the lead at fifteen wins.
Damo da Rosa and Sato sit atop the MPL standings at 15-8 after two League Weekends, though Sato, who went 4-6 this weekend after an incredible 11-1 performance in the first League Weekend in October, still has a match to make up that could give him the overall lead with a win. Damo da Rosa opted for Dimir Rogues this weekend after a 9-3 run with Rakdos Midrange in October, while Sato stuck with Gruul Adventures, the same deck that helped him mount a lead last month.

Scott-Vargas (18-6) and Sperling (17-7) hold the top two spots in Rivals after two League Weekends, but Bernardo Santos and Stanislav Cifka occupy the next two spots at 16-8.
Win totals for MPL and Rivals can be parsed from a Magic Esports tweet from yesterday. Austin Bursavich still has seven outstanding matches to make up from missing the first League Weekend, so many records and win totals will change after they are reported.
