insom has been struggling to write a three page essay for months and you basically drop one every week. really well done. I'm really enjoying the flavor at the beginning before the actual round-up summary and stats of the teams. it's worth just as much if not more to the feel of the entire article.

Just out of curiosity, do you only analyze records/stats and nothing else? It's pretty biased for me to say this since my team rolled them but I don't think Battered Doughboys is as good as you think they are. Let's be real, so far, they have a really easy schedule and they have yet to play any of the top teams in my opinion (Hells Xpress, Logic is Power, No Pawblem, SYOPS) and instead playing teams that aren't doing so hot in CEVO (6 Man Suicide, Midnight Society, Dedoris, bLand gngstrz).
Don't get this the wrong way, I'm not saying it's poorly written, as you write excellent articles. I'm just questioning why you're giving some team that beats 5-5 teams and manages to go undefeated so far all this praise.
Also I didn't intend to insult the teams I listed as "not doing so hot" but those were the latest teams with mediocre records playing one of the undefeated (at the time) teams in Open.

Oh no, we're bad for sure, but I don't think he's praising us as much as you think. He's done a bunch of write ups, and we've been in the top 10 for a minute, but this is the first time we've gotten more than a quick paragraph, which is totally fine, but I'm confused as to where exactly he's sucking our dicks with praise.

Hi, thanks for the question! It's important to me to not write something that's incorrect (which doesn't mean I always succeed), so for all the teams I write about, I do a ton of research. I look at their game stats on CEVO's site and if they didn't play on an official server, I try to find it on sizzling stats. I look at their overall record and the records of the teams they've played. I also look them up on UGC and ESEA to see their history/stats in other leagues. Finally, if I'm unsure about anything or if I just want extra context, I'll add the team's Captain and ask, hey what happened in this game? Are these stats correct or do they have the "double everything" bug? In a close game, what do you think gave your team the edge, and what went down in the winning round?
I don't think it's necessarily a case of not having all the info, but of how I like to present it. For the most part, I don't insert my own opinions—I've never made a prediction for what I pick as the "match of the week". I like to present the facts, in a hopefully entertaining way, and let people make their own judgments. With that said, part of the facts is giving context, and for the team you mentioned, the Doughboys, I feel like I painted a fair picture of them: right now, they have a perfect record and that's worth being proud of, but I also said last week that they "perhaps haven’t been tested as much as they could be." I talked this week about how they lost 0-5 to your team in ESEA. Do I think they're the best team in the division right now? I think that's the ultimate question, the one that's being hammered out from week to week.
Basically, these aren't power rankings, ie my opinion on how teams measure up against each other. It's more the news on what happened in the past week, and while I probably do put a pretty positive slant on things, they're still based in fact. I love London's style of writing, and Admirable's and Hildreth's, where they straight-up say stuff like, "This team is pawbably going to lose," but I think everyone writes in their own voice. I like to be supportive, because at the end of the day I think everyone is trying their best and putting in their time and $15 to be here, so while they may lose and they may not be the strongest or even in the top ten or twenty or thirty strongest teams in the division, I can say that in a way that's accurate, but tactful, and highlights the positives more than the shortcomings. This is super long, but I hope it kind of answers your question, Geknaiir.

I'm going by records of how they WERE scheduled against teams that didn't have the best records in the division when they were top seed. I don't get why you're getting so upset over the fact that I'm curious as to why they were receiving so much praise. Also the post was made before they beat no pawblem.

They are probably getting praise because they were undefeated (now 11-0) also what do you mean your team rolled them? You haven't even played them. Are you really basing it off of scrims? If were doing that i recall us having a pretty stalematey scrim with you guys, but you said "we arent doing that hot"

I'm not saying anything about our team, but Battered Doughboys from what I'm aware aren't taking ESEA serious at all. Beating them in esea doesn't mean much to their cevo team.

Geknaiir, do you just enjoy starting drama, and being in the middle of it? Everyone from Doughboys minds their own, and you should do the same. It's sad that you're getting THAT jealous over a write-up on one week for CEVO and you have to point out that you think you're #1. Why don't you just wait your turn to face us, and if you win, good for you. Then the write-up will be in your favor. Because that's all you ever wanted, right?
