What ELO are the top players at right now?

Just curious how far I am. I know they're gonna release the leaderboard soon but I'm impatient. I'm at 1652 ELO right now which I think is decent for the time being

Finally broke 2000 ELO and I'm sitting just below MB2, one win away. I know MB2 is top 10k and MB1 is top 1k but I was curious what the ELO cut off is for MB1? Thanks in advance

And if anyone is curious about the MB2 threshold it seems to be around about 2010 ELO (I'm currently 2007, placement about 10 500)

I've been messing around with different pokemon and sets in Champions trying to find stuff that works for me. I've put together a Meowscarada set that uses Overgrow and Focus Sash instead of Protean:

Meowscarada @ Focus Sash

Ability Overgrow

Nature: Adamant

2 HP/32 Atk/32 Spe

- Flower Trick

- Trailblaze

- Knock Off

- Protect

The idea is to survive one big hit then just Flower Trick spam with the Overgrow boost. Adamant instead of Jolly for max damage, don't really need the extra speed (I also have Gardevoir with TR on my team so it can be nice to underspeed some things). Trailblaze gives you a speed boost and can also do decent damage with Overgrow. I've been using it turn 1 for the speed boost then going to town with boosted Flower Trick. And because Flower Trick is always a crit, Intimidate doesn't matter. Fast Knock Off is always nice as well

Just curious what people think of this. I'm still getting the hang of it but it feels pretty good so far when piloted correctly. The biggest weakness I've found is you really have to preserve the sash and make sure you get into Overgrow range cuz it doesn't feel that good without Overgrow. Trailblaze could also be replaced but getting a speed boost without relying on Tailwind is sweet. That was kind of inspired by the Scale Shot Garchomp set making it's rounds

Also I know the idea of sash + Overgrow/torrent/blaze is nothing new but this is a fun spin on it and I think it's decently strong in Champions with limited Pokemon and items especially since Protean sucks now

Edit: I also gave my Sneasler Quick Guard to prevent priority from taking out Meowscarada from 1HP and it's not bad
