Hey gang, time flies when you're on vacation. Time for another update.
Big news this week for hbix, as he finished his first eggplant run! He finished the run in under 30 minutes too, at 29:34. Something hilarious about this run is though he got his eggplant on 1-4, there turned out to be an altar and a mystery box on 4-2 as well
. This was the last requirement hbix needed for the Reddit Spelunky Champion Flair, so congrats on getting the Champion Flair, hbix! hbix also completed a 6:45 Draining Olmec% run that used a CoG crate jetpack.
krille71 continued his improvements this update and made a very important move - he passed SpelunkyGod on the main ranking for the #3 spot!! Krille has gained around 50k Mossranking points in a very short timespan, which is insanely impressive considering his score was already in the high 800s. He got to this #3 position with two big runs: a crazy impressive $3,280,975 score on the July 1st daily challenge, and a 2:50 Low% run! This was a difficult daily requiring permaghost into 5-3, and krille held nothing back. This managed to push his daily average to $3,145,542, a new daily average world record! Congrats, krille! 
d_tea and I (Kinnijup) both managed to improve our daily average as well. We each finished a daily in our top 10, though tea's was quite a bit stronger. Tea hit a $3,242,875 on the July 1st daily, and I hit a $2,963,050 on the July 4th daily. Our daily average is very close, as is the average of our top 5 and bottom 5 dailies. Tea has the lead right now at $3,085,867 to my $3,082,110.
Other action in the top 10 came from Linkruler. Yes, you heard that right, Link is now in the top 10! He hit a 2:48.722 Any% PB with jetpack + mattock. This was just enough for Link to pass Samots for #10 on the main ranking! Great job, Link, we all knew you could get there
. Something additionally impressive about this run is it is 6th place on the No Teleporter Any% ranking!
ShinGraywords got two PBs for this update. He hit a 7:09 Max Any%, and a $1,720,600 daily highscore PB on the July 1st daily. He did a great job on the daily, and it improved his overall Mossranking score quite a bit. He moved up to 22nd place! His daily average is nearing $1mil now, and currently sits at $968k.
Patdog56 is on vacation for a week, but before he left he got another $1mil+ daily. He got a $1.024mil run on the June 30th daily. This pushed his daily average up to $1.032mil. Get back soon, Pat! 
Grooomp improved two runs this week. He hit a 5:41 Hell% time, and a 2:39 No Teleporter Any% time. He has been on much faster hell pace than this (including a potential sub 4:30) but this is still a solid time. I do feel a sub 5 is only a matter of time and a good seed away for him, though.
Next up we have newcomer kroogah nailing a big money score PB, a $575k run. Keep it up, kroogah! 
We saw two runs submitted from ix for this update. He completed a Max Hell% run! The final time was 13:32. The other run he submitted was a 7:10 Max Any%. ix is also consistently improving his daily average, and got another $1mil+ daily. Right now, his daily average is at $984k. Great job, ix!
We had some big news from Sedoxa for this update - he finished his first teleporter run! The final time was a sub 3, as well, coming in at 2:42. A troll arrow cost him some time in 4-3 (and cost him his teleporter) but he did a great job on the Olmec fight with 1 hp. He also did not have a compass until 3-3, so he will gain some more time early with a better setup. His other PB was a 4:17 Max Any%. Great runs, Sed! 
denis1080 played this week, and manaed a 12:44 Hell% run! Great to hear from you, denis, and good luck :D
Lastly, falafel_raptor nailed an impressive 3:25 Low% run! He has been faster into temple, but he got a really solid temple on this seed. Raptor has started streaming his runs this week, so be sure to check him out here. He has a lot of potential in both speedruns and score runs, so it will be a lot of fun to follow his progress 
That's all for now,
- Kinni
