Louis Acre-Kendall wins at five different venues, which almost nobody does

Most tournament players have a room where they win. Louis Acre-Kendall has five.

His fifteen outright wins are spread across Broken Clock, LITT, 56 Brewing, Bad Penny and Northstar. Nobody else in the 2026 top 25 has won at that many different venues.

He is twenty-second on 119.20 points from a full twenty-event calendar, with 236 tracked tournaments and results on 192 machines behind him.

Six rooms, all of them live

Six venues past 8 events, five past 17, four past 35. The 56 Brewing line is the one to look at: 45 firsts from 86 games and an average finish of 1.77, better than anything else on his sheet by a wide margin. Two of his fifteen wins came there.

The LITT average of 1.98 across 75 events is the more substantial number, and it is under 2.00, which only seven players in this year's list manage at their busiest room.

The wins

Fifteen outright wins plus seven shared firsts from 236 events, six of them in fields of 37 or more. The 64-player Broken Clock D&D launch in March 2025 is his biggest.

His 2026 win came at 56 Brewing in March, out of 40.

The Hammond rivalry

His deepest head-to-head is with Daniel Hammond, ranked ten places above him: 55-66 with ten ties across 131 games, a 45.8% clip. That is the longest rivalry either of them has with anybody in this list.

The rest:

A winning record over Reardon, thirteen places above him, across 118 games. And a 19-4 record over Tvedt, which is the most lopsided line he owns against another top-25 player.

The ones that hurt: Chris Frame at 11-29-2, Luke Nahorniak at 24-56-13 over 93 games, Adam Turgeson at 15-27, Trevor Klungseth at 16-29-2, and Jeff Stenzel at 0-7 with a tie.

Machines

Sixteen games of Godzilla with eight firsts, eight seconds and nothing worse is the standout: he has never finished third or fourth on it in a tracked game. Seven machines above 0.70 is a wide set of strengths for a player ranked twenty-second.

The Dungeons & Dragons entry is a nice detail given that his biggest career win came at the launch party for that machine.

Weak spots:

• Buccaneer, 0.302 over 15 games, a 26.8% win rate
• Hot Tip (EM), 0.385 over 17 games
• TX-Sector, 0.404 over 8 games
• Star Trek: The Next Generation, 0.411 over 8 games

Fifteen games of Buccaneer at 26.8% is one of the steepest weak-machine readings in this year's list, and Hot Tip at 17 games is the deepest.

Form

Slightly cold at 57% against a 61% baseline. His entry streak reads three months, and his most recent result was ninth of 20 at the Super Ball XL finals on September 19.

If you draw him

Buccaneer if it is on the bank, which at Blainbrook it usually is. Hot Tip second.

Keep him off Godzilla, and if you are playing at 56 Brewing, accept that his numbers there are better than anybody's in this list.
