downpourthe actual team parts look good but then the lists...

The player rankings were like....15 min of the work. The actual articles took about 6 or 7 hours.

I understand that the ginyu players didnt like being ranked so "low", but honestly, its all subjective. Even the articles were subjective. We pretty much sucked the dicks of every starter on Ginyu during the write-up anyway, don't see why this has to become an issue every-time your crowd is talked about.

And yes, mustard did rank himself high, but that is just mustard being mustard and we love him anyway.

Sorry MiNi :(

We actually had heard news you lost one of your starting combo classes. Not to mention most your players are new to platinum. Hope you prove me wrong!

i really dont care, I feel bad for not really taking this season seriously for my team. If i manage to convince our 6's side of things to give weekends to hl as its usually then i think things will be fine. I'm just worried about our combo atm. I havent played mained demo in hl for awhile and im picky about heavys. None the less a great writeup

snake kryptonite? Gankmeister? I get when you are saying though. It just felt like most of the players on your team, I have seen hanging out in the bonus mumble. That being said, I can't say for certain who started the team and who the original members were, that is why we said "arguably."

Man, reading back through I notice a lot of more comma errors. Sorry everyone, we tried to get this out before monday. If you see a comma splice or what not, just try and ignore it! :(

So, you reckon Cusideabelincoln is the best Engie in the league, but you didn't actually mention him at all in the write-up?

Also, "Furthermore, heal spreads out of bpm are skewed heavily to br0nze and away from Pharaoh, which could possibly just be the result of building uber but could also be hinting of a handicapped demoman. Although, the heal spreads might be skewed due to boston basher building."

One of these is redundant.

Sorry, my brain went into proof-reader mode.

different people did the rankings and the writeups, that explains the disparity there

Yea I am sorry about the grammar errors fellas. Sometimes we forget people, sometimes we have an errant sentence. Some of the mistakes were because our editor forgot to delete sentences.

Nothing I can really do but say sorry and try and analyze the meaning.

ThePretenderThank you for not calling me bad.

I will bring back my Hot or Not list and correct this great injustice.

Seriously this is the best write-up I've read about UGC, thanks for doing it Soap. Interesting how Paragon is rated over Max! Maybe scrims have shown different stats but Max has been destroying UGC + the world consistently for the past 6 months, surely this makes him the man to watch?

Yea, there was a bit of controversy over it. Personally, I thought Max deserved the 1st seed simply because of his achievements. However, I have seen Paragon out-do Max! in the past. Its a bit of a toss up and I think it depends on who is hot at the moment.

Well, regardless of that, it seemed like not mentioning him was an oversight since the write-ups in general went through every player on the team (I think).
Him then being picked as the no. 1 Engie just sort of highlighted it.

I saw em cygnus. I know it seems a little rude to not move you up after a win against ginyu, but I would have to see a trend. Maybe in a few weeks?

It similar to something like mustard's team. They also won a scrim against you, but I didn't put them above BPM. Simply because that was just one scrim, and something I felt like wouldn't happen on average.

Scrims mean a lot less, if you can do the business in the matches when the pressures on, that is when I will notice you.

BPM didn't seem very good on 5CP but maybe they're really good on PL, who knows?
