RGL S14 Advanced Power Rankings - Week 1

1) XIAO - aimer, Yi-ge, sakura, yosh1, manacute, yuice

Despite making some noise in the invite qualifiers, XIAO find themselves in advanced. Although there may have been a gap season or two taken by most of these players, their level of talent is more than enough for the top of advanced. By default it is safe to put the invite qualifier team at the top of advanced, so that is where I will settle for now.

2) g*ming - AvrilLavigneFan95 (?), Scream, Pinaepple, Krispy Kreme 2012 (?), GMK, apathy

Obviously, I do not know the aliases of some of the players on this rosters. However, the ones I do know are very good TF2 players. Starting off the season with a convincing win over the 2nd place div 1 team from last season makes me think this will be one of the top teams in the division. Judging from a tftv post, this is a match only/low scrim team so who knows where this team will end up.

3) SuperZAZA Bomb - Slicerogue, Fireball, Holly, Dogdayboy, skull, mono

SuperZAZA Bomb is back again with most of the same roster that earned them 3rd place in div 1 last season, and the same core of Fireball, Dogdayboy, and Holly that have been together for around 5 seasons now. This rendition of the roster looks to be the strongest to date, and they are off to a great start with a victory over THE GOBLIN ZONE. I expect another good placement and playoff run from this team this season, and possibly going even further this time around.

4) THE GOBLIN ZONE - tomato tom, HEDGEHOG HERO, saam, bear, yosh, arcadia

This is a hard team to rank, because I have no idea how hard they will actually try. On paper, this team looks like they should undoubtedly be competing for 1st place with the amount of invite experience on this roster. Fortunately for me, I made these rankings late and get to see they dropped their first match in a nail biter to SuperZAZA Bomb, so I will put them at #4 for now.

5) Grantus Vincere - Wild_Rumpus, Math, raven, TIGER BALM, bane, Macron

It feels weird putting this team down here at #5, as I feel like they can achieve much higher if the teams above them are not at the top of their game. Even if they are, Grantus Vincere looks like they could beat just about anybody in the division. When I first starting writing this up I actually put them at #2, but with the teams above them being of similar strength, Grantus Vincere is drawing the short end of the stick for now.

6) The Village - Taylor, tacocat, Rapscallion, denisavich, starka, nikola tesla (?)

Depsite what I just said about Grantus Vincere, this ranking probably makes the least amount of sense. This same roster got 2nd place in div 1 last season yet here they are at #6. A big reason for that is I believe advanced is stronger than div 1 was last season. I am excited to see where these teams that did not play div 1 together last season compare to this team.

7) Tripping Hazard - bones, Tec, reverie, Michaelpc1, Grnny, mur

This is the team I probably know the least about. Aside from Tec and bones time together on WANG GANG, it seems this team does not have much experience playing together, at least on official RGL teams. That being said, they are currently 1-0 with a win against refugees, so this team could be a lot better than where I am ranking them now. Maybe I just don't know ball.

8) refugees - nomad, Mobe, taiko, earl, monkey, draco

I want to rank this team higher, but after dropping that first match to Tripping Hazard, it is hard to. I know these players are capable of beating almost any team in this division on any given night, but they may need some time to get on the same page. Also, adding draco to the roster certainly isn't helping anything.

BONUS NOTES:
- If I put a (?) next to someone's name, it is because I do not know their actual alias or if that is their real alias. I don't know why players in this game never use their normal alias.
- Some of these teams were very hard to rank and I do not expect this to be accurate at all as time goes on. I felt like I kept hinting at "I don't really know what I'm talking about" because I mostly don't. This will be a lot easier once I see some more match results.

expert fortnite champion fireballs opinion on the hottest event this first week of main

Appreciate the review but it's not just this game that made me make the decision. He doesn't take any accountability at all for any mistakes or errors that he makes all he says is he didn't play the greatest. He kept trying to blame bacon blitz for his bad game, but however unlike Finmin baconblitz owned up to his mistakes and gets demo reviews regularly and ask for help and advice a lot and is improving fast. From what I have heard from past players that have played with finmin it seems that he hasn't changed as a player. Another thing that really pissed me off and I know this is gonna sound like immense fucking dick riding, but he kept blaming miperton for every single fucking little mistake,"Miperton didn't tell me to walk up on height, miperton didn't tell me to heal(exaggeration)." This is the main level the mid of the pack and its expected at this level at hopefully a high main level you don't need microing. I wish all good luck to finmin I shouldn't had shit talked him after the loss in the tl chat and that is my fault it was very disrespectful and inappropriate of me.
