Rosner Bounces Back as Larson Surges and Mitchell Stalls

After a rough showing last week that left his standing in question, Rosner answered his critics the only way that matters — with wins.

Following what many called the worst performance of his season, Rosner returned to form with a strong two-win outing, reminding the league why he's long been considered one of its most dangerous players when locked in. The turnaround was as swift as it was necessary, as the pressure had been mounting after a string of losses and the looming return of Kvalsvik.

But while Rosner was rising, Mitchell couldn’t quite find his rhythm, finishing the week winless despite multiple close battles. The usually dynamic Rosner-Mitchell pairing — once considered the league’s most consistent threat — has now fallen to Salomone and Larson in back-to-back matchups, raising serious questions about their synergy under pressure.

Meanwhile, Larson continues his meteoric rise. Now winning with both Rosner and Salomone, Larson is proving himself as one of the most versatile and dangerous players in the league. Each week, he’s showing sharper decision-making, smarter placement, and improved communication — the hallmarks of a future top seed.

As play continues, all eyes will be on whether Rosner and Mitchell can right the ship, or if Salomone and Larson have found something special. One thing is certain: Larson is no longer sneaking up on anyone — he’s charging up the standings and forcing everyone to adapt.
