RGL Div. 2 Season 4 Power Rankings
Part 1 of 3
10/4/2020, 8:30 PM ET
Once again, the competition in Div. 2 is tight. In fact, with only four matches in the books, only one team remains undefeated.
I mostly wrote this Sunday but didn't have time to edit it until now. Getting it out the door just in time for the first matches of Clearcut which I'm sure will shake things up quite a bit as King of the Hill tends to do.
____
#1 Stock Market (4-0)
Scouts: Stock, Yami
Soldiers: Phone, Meatball
Demo: azion
Med: bloompi
After a rough go last season in Div. 1, stock prices are on the rise for this offclass edition of Schrodinger's Virgins. They've already faced off with several of the stronger teams in the division and have come out on top each time. The market is closing high as Process week comes to an end. We'll see if the trend continues when it re-opens for Clearcut week.
#2 Jeqlers (3-1)
Scouts: yam, Owiboner
Soldiers: Phoxx, jt
Demo: Juju
Med: tuba god
Of course, it's tough to determine the division's true pecking order early in the season, but based on limited info from scrims and matches so far, it seems Jeqlers is as good a guess as any for the next best team in the division. Granted, if their last match versus Stock Market is anything to go on, it might be a fairly distant second. Jeqlers was routed decisively in a 1-5 loss.
#3 Honey Bacon Club (3-1)
Scouts: KutchKutch, pom
Soldiers: dog, mousecake
Demo: artist
Med: rasta_ronald
Last season's Main runner-up is a dark horse threat to win the title. Even though they have a light practice schedule,
they've already got plenty of time in the game playing with each other to make up for it. On top of that, their DM is more than enough to swing a lot of fights in their favor in spite of occasional communication breakdowns.
#4 KOTH and Ball Torture (3-1)
Scouts: pont, ChaseDuck
Soldiers: voosh, fyg
Demo: JohhnyFromCali
Med: ScrewB
ScrewB's new squad opened the season with three solid wins before losing to the aforementioned Honey Bacon Club. A strong showing so far, for sure, but we'll have to see how KOTH and Ball Torture handles their first KBT session (not to be confused with KTB, whom they beat 5-1).
#5 BLANC Esports (3-1)
Scouts: zanda, Donald Dorito
Soldiers: Crasian, Muse
Demo: Sleepy
Med: Tery_
Old man Tery briefly considered disbanding BLANC for the season. In the end though, BLANC is back for its 12th season (5th consecutive) and is already making good ground early in the race for playoffs. A number of familiar BLANC alumni return as well as some great new recruits with Donald Dorito on combo scout and DeltaMarket coming off the bench.
#6 dynasty (2-2)
Scouts: ClarenceQ, j4ngles
Soldiers: wonder, nurfu
Demo: Zaboomafoo
Med: reno
Mr. Wonderful and a mish-mash of players from his former teams are off to a respectable start at 2-2. Really though, there isn't anything too out of the ordinary or worth mentioning about them yet. They're pretty good, that's about it.
#7 RHDP (1-3)
Scouts: ult, mak
Soldiers: playmo, ctr
Demo: penny
Med: rebyte
The latest iteration of RHDP brings back Penny and Ult who've made ESEA-IM playoffs together. Their line-up is rounded out with other strong DM players in Mak, Playmo, and airshot master Carter. Their record might not look impressive yet, but they've fought close games. If things swung a different way, they could be 3-1 right now, and they definitely have the right pieces to make a run for playoffs.
#8 Goon Squad (2-2)
Scouts: KGN, hypno
Soldiers: sega modern warfare, gungon
Demo: Zamblargo/Kuhnockers
Med: Bonesaw
The Greek Freak AKA Sega: Morrowind's squad didn't look like much at the start, opening the season by getting swept off the map followed by another loss to the now dead no-scrim team Hot Girl Summer. However, some roster adjustments, recent scrim results, and a hard fought victory over RHDP have shown they might've righted the ship with plenty of time left to spare in the season.
#9 Goblin Cones (2-2)
Scouts: Spades Slick, hedgehog hero
Soldiers: Waldo, tomato tom
Demo: Hellbent
Med: saam
Sporting a plethora of class restrictions, Goblin Cones is still a solid enough team. They're relaxing a bit this season with a light scrim schedule; if they decide to put in a little more, I'm sure their experience could help them clean it up and rise up the standings.
#10 Rat Party (0-4)
Scouts: yumyum, tibby
Soldiers: KTB, Toss
Demo: Uberburst
Med: DubThink
The lack of a calling presence hurt them early in the season, but after some changes to class restrictions, they've
been able to add last season's Div. 2 silver medalist which may help. They've been in the fight for most of their matches so far. They just need a little more to start converting those competitive games into real wins.
#11 Big Melanin Gaming (1-3)
Scouts: emo, tracker
Soldiers: Beepity_boop, zotoh
Demo: je'mond
Med: ydna_
Between losing their combo scout and a string of tough losses, things aren't looking too hot for BMG so far.
They'll need a truly transcendental mid-season pickup on scout to get into shape. Emo has recently joined their roster, and if he's starting in place of Trux, he could be the answer to their troubles.
#12 hot girl summer (1-3)Scouts: xattuu, jel
Soldiers: eugenio, Aaron
Demo: perenne
Med: reigh
Dead.
#? The Box Tap (3-1)
Scouts: golden, owen
Soldiers: fleskore, ziaa
Demo: lcrtv
Med: wbacon
