Hello again friends, another week of my own Power Rankings.Some teams made massive jumps in rank while a few others dropped sharply and we have a new arrival.Sorry in advance if offended, deal with it.
Week 6 Rankings (Badlands)
#1----Seendio------------------------------(10-0) N/A
#2----SYOPS TF2-------------------------(10-0) +3

# 1----Seendio---(10-0)
Things went as planned for Seendio this week with two shut-out victories. I expected to see at least a few rounds taken by the teams they faced but both matches look like overpowering wins. Maybe someone on this team can explain what happened against Aminus Victoria? The match time says 24 minutes but the frags/damage are way too low.Asianriceguy with 130 DPM? There had to be an extended pause of some sort.
Can Bawtbawtbawt and/or Night Owls take any rounds from our top seed on Badlands? I say yes and predict Seendio will finally be involved in a competitive match but should turn out 2 victories.
# 2----SYOPS TF2---(10-0)
SYOPS is coming off a monster Gully week where they pulled out 2 hard fought victories. Last week, I asked for more context on this team and I got a first-hand dose. SYOPS straight dominated Blanc Esports in the first half but Blanc pushed back and had a chance to tie the game at 4-4 in the 2nd half but fell short.
In the 2nd match of Wednesday’s double-header, it was SYOPS turn to come out flat in the 1st half against Aminus Victoria and quickly found themselves down 4-1 in the 2nd half. A massive comeback ensued as SYOPS took 4 straight rounds to win a 5-4 thriller. Looking at both stats, I do not see any stand-out performances; instead I see a solid balanced attack across the board. SYOPS schedule does not get easier this week on Badlands, but I expect more close matches and a split against I AM NOT BILLUSTER and Bawtbawtbawt.
# 3----The Muffin Men---(9-1)
The Muffin Men continue to roll along, sporting a solid win over Monkey Madness 5-1. Once again, Trip has top damage, top frags and top heals, however the whole team is showing some consistent numbers.The 2nd match of the week for Muffin Men was against "Lolis in Spaaaace", a mid-open team that I have no idea how they were paired up against to begin with. Lolis put up a really good fight but were just over-matched.
Another gift from the scheduling gods will give The Muffin Men an easier Badlands week than they should have, as they face Virgin Police and THE WIDEST KIDS UKNOW. There may be some surprises in store but I predict 2 victories.
# 4----Night Owls---(10-0)
Night Owls delivered a decisive 5-1 win vs Bawtbawtbawt despite what seems like a weak showing from the scout pair Testify/Owl. Fortunately, a powerhouse performance from Air and br on soldier broke BBB’s back.
Testify recovered from that bad game to put in a monster performance against Morin and Co. with 32 frags and 15 assists. Air once again took control and put out 400 DPM on pocket but I am surprised they dropped 2 rounds. Probably throwing a bit to try and help Owl get more cap points because getting 200 DPM is obviously hard for him. Badlands will be a big challenge for the undefeated Night Owls as they face Seendio and Aminus Victoria where I predict a split.
# 5----I AM NOT BILLUSTER---(9-1)
I AM NOT BLLUSTER had a really rough match on Gully against Seendio. Only Giraffe seemed to show-up for BILLUSTER in this match. Both scouts Arekk and Linkuser were destroyed consistently which lead to lopsided fights all match long.
In the 2nd match vs Bawtbawtbawt, BILLUSTER and Co. really impressed with a dominant victory. Just about every player had 300 DPM with Giraffe getting 400 DPM along with with more heals than the pocket. Linkuser and Arekk destroyed the scouts of BBB and were the main reason 2 of their players had such horrible stats, they were outplayed. Badlands matches this week will be challenging against SYOPS and Aminus Victoria where I predict a split.
# 6----Carolina Fan Club---(9-1)
The Fan Club’s first match this week against Cloud 9 was a nail biter that came down to the last round. A 5-4 win showing Carolina and Ily leading the way on damage while SS almost had 40 frags on cleanup. There was a shuffle of the lineup but the team still performed well and got an important win. The 2nd match was against a Mid-Open team “Suika jump off a cliff” which seemed to go smoothly. round was dropped but it looks like there were connection and server issues, perhaps that was a factor.
Carolina and Co. only have 1 Badlands match scheduled this week against Squid Squad, a team looking to push into playoff contention. It should be a win but never underestimate a hungry team. Perhaps they will get a second Badlands match scheduled?
# 7----Aminus Victoria---(8-2)
I had a feeling last week that AV could possibly lose both Gully matches and my crystal ball was correct. This team has a lot of big names but you never win matches on reputation. That said, AV does have the talent but may need some time to mold a solid team dynamic. AV played Seendio in the first match and got anal raped. Did this match have a pause?? Not a single player on AV had double digit frags, Pizza Pose with 90 DPM? Low frags across the board and only took 23 minutes?
AV seemed to shake off a bad first match and was initially strong against SYOPS taking 4 of the first 5 rounds but could not finish them off and dropped 4 straight rounds. I really want to watch this match and see what exactly happened. Stats show the damage and frags to be dead even. Going into Badlands week is not much easier for AV, they face Night Owl’s and I AM NOT BILLUSTER where they could drop both again.

[color=red][size=14][b]# 7----Aminus Victoria---(8-2)[/b][/size][/color]
I had a feeling last week that AV could possibly lose both Gully matches and my crystal ball was correct. This team has a lot of big names but you never win matches on reputation. That said, AV does have the talent but may need some time to mold a solid team dynamic. AV played Seendio in the first match and got anal raped. Did this match have a pause?? Not a single player on AV had double digit frags, Pizza Pose with 90 DPM? Low frags across the board and only took 23 minutes?
AV seemed to shake off a bad first match and was initially strong against SYOPS taking 4 of the first 5 rounds but could not finish them off and dropped 4 straight rounds. I really want to watch this match and see what exactly happened. Stats show the damage and frags to be dead even. Going into Badlands week is not much easier for AV, they face Night Owl’s and I AM NOT BILLUSTER where they could drop both again.
# 8----Blanc Esports---(8-2)
My team had an average Gully week. In our first match against Morin than meets the eye, we relied heavily on Morin killing himself on last and were able to secure a few quick rounds. We were sloppy in this match but were able to consistently win DM fights to offset. However, a well-executed double scout back-cap secured a round for Morin in the 2nd half.
In the second match of the week, we (Specifically Me) came out totally flat against SYOPS in the 1st half and got punished for it. We did recover in the 2nd half and played really strong giving us a chance to tie the match at 4-4 but the hole we (me) dug ourselves in the first half was too deep. Badlands matches vs Cloud 9 and Monkey Madness await us this week. Good luck
# 9----Bawtbawtbawt---(8-2)
BBB lost a tough first match against Night Owls 5-1. It looks like the Owl’s found a way to limit or neutralize Noobies and that lead to a pretty easy victory. The only number BBB put up that shines to me is Rage doing his job getting 7 of 9 medic kills for the team.
Not much to be said of the 2nd match against I AM NOT BILLUSTER. I was expecting a great match but instead watched a lopsided affair because Flexuranus and bklaw had terrible matches. BBB gets a chance to impress this week on Badlands as they face currently undefeated Seendio and SYOPS. I think the deck is stacked against them in these match-ups, I predict 2 losses.
# 10---Cloud 9---(8-2)
Last week, I ranked this team 16th because they had an easy schedule but have clearly shown they can hang with the top of Open. Cloud 9 lost a heart-breaker against Carolina Fan Club this week in the final round. Both soldiers Twitchy and Buschy had a very strong match. They were winning at half and just could not pick-up this important win. I believe Cloud 9 will make playoffs regardless but, when seeding is determined, this missed opportunity could hurt them. The second match was against playoff bubble team “Just Relax” where they delivered a solid victory. Badlands week will be against Morin than meets the eye and Blanc Esports. If they can win both, it will put Cloud 9 in a very favorable playoff position.
# 11---Virgin Police---(8-2)
Virgin Police started the week with a 5-2 win over playoff bubble team ”Just Relax”. Griff and company put up a really good fight but I honestly expected more of V Police. If not for Sam having a beastly match, this could have been a really close game because tech/carnage were just average.
The second match vs Monkey Madness was much more intense as it went into overtime. I did spectate most of the match and the overtime round in particular. MM wiped V Police on mid, with only TechNasty alive but they could not find him. MM pushed a 70% Uber advantage to 2nd and began to cap but had to turn around to stop TechNasty from back-capping middle. Not only did MM not succeed in blocking the cap, but Carnage came out of nowhere and 2-shot the medic at 90%. After that it was shortly over as V Police has a smooth push to last. Virgin Police face Muffin Men and Mumble Robots this week. They need to be in top form or they will see themselves lose both matches.
# 12---Mumble Robots---(7-3)
Oh Mumble Robots, another heartbreaking loss after dominating the first half. Going up 4-0 and then dropping a massive 5 straight rounds during the 2nd half. ScrewB and Leaky carried THE WIDEST KIDS YOU KNOW to victory as the rest of the team under-performed badly
The 2nd match of the week vs Victorious Secret was probably the earliest "must-win" so far in the division. Frys and rdj were huge in this match, both almost with 400 DPM and over 50% of the frags between them. It doesn't look like Victorious Secret had any answer for this team on Gullywash and were dominated. This win is important as Mumble Robots find themselves on the bubble for playoffs. Badlands matchups this week will be challenging and I predict a split vs Virgin Police and Squid Squad.
# 13---Victorious Secret---(7-3)
Victorious Secret’s first match this week was against team “Donk Kongs”, a quiet team that has been clawing at the heels of a possible playoff seed with some solid play and critical wins. Donk Kongs were not fated to win this match mostly because WhoopiGoldberg and Tatuwah had huge games to deny playoff hope.
The 2nd match this week against Mumble Robots was more important. I was expecting a much closer game but VS was simply outplayed all game long. Interesting stats show that the medic & demo only had 8 deaths but the rest of the team had 15 or more. Just looks like half of VS was doing one thing and the other half was doing another. Badlands week will have them face more of the hungry bubble teams as “just relax” and “empire of emotion” will not be pushover matches. These wins are vital and should Victorious Secret stumble, they could find themselves on the outside looking in when the final weeks approach.
# 14---Monkey Madness---(7-3)
Monkey Madness had a difficult Gullywash week starting with a 5-1 loss to The Muffin Men where they put up a decent fight but were a bit outclassed. They quickly got a chance to redeem themselves against Virgin Police and played a great game but fell short in OT. It was fun to spectate and I enjoyed watching such an even match. Monkey Madness has a very balanced team with no one really under-performing or carrying. Losing both matches this week hurt and puts this team on the playoff bubble meaning a few more losses can end the season. A strong week on Badlands will greatly help secure a playoff spot but they face challenges in Morin than meets the eye and Blanc Esports.
# 15---Morin than meets the eye---(7-3)
Morin than meets the eye has 4 very important matches in the next 2 weeks. Not only to remain in the playoff race, but need to prove they can hang with the top teams. They did not start well with a 5-1 loss to Blanc Esports. Both scouts ChangeQ and Smashy had strong games but the supporting cast did not show-up.
Morin and Co. had a much better 2nd match against Night Owls as Smashy and Morin played very well, especially in the 1st half. Watching some of the STV, some scrappy fights and bad medic deaths for tron was the real tipping point of this match. Night Owls protected the medic better and had 5 more Ubers. Things to not get easier for Morin and Co. on Badlands because Could 9 and Monkey Madness await. It could be another 2 loss week as both teams look strong. It is crunch time for Morin's team and they need to bring the A game or playoffs are in doubt.
# 16---Squid Squad---(8-2)
A new arrival in my Top 16 because of an easy schedule. Squid Squad has been playing solidly for over 2 weeks and they have soundly defeated several playoff bubble teams but have lost to both of the high open teams they had to play. Looking at team stats says they have a balanced attack but have not been involved in a truly competitive match so far. Sporting an 8-2 record, the easy matches and coasting will cease this week as they face Carolina Fan Club and Mumble Robots. Both matches, especially the former, will be difficult wins but will give Squid Squad a chance to show us what they can do.

I appreciate that you took the time to write power rankings for open, but it's like you just looked at match stats and wrote everything based on that.
Some interesting insight from you would make the articles more enjoyable to read imo.

Man you hit the nail on the head with our loses. We've lost a bunch of matches being up 3-0. Just soul crushing.

SpaceCadetMaybe someone on this team can explain what happened against Aminus Victoria? The match time says 24 minutes but the frags/damage are way too low.Asianriceguy with 130 DPM? There had to be an extended pause of some sort.
no pause
riceguy is just garbage

Seendio is a team that would do well in IM, no need to drop Guaddo for getting 5-0'ed. Seendio won't lose a round this season, froot was right.

he looked at the stv for 1-2 matches and he's already writing for 16 teams instead of the usual 10 teams so im not sure how anyone can expect him to watch the stv for both of the top 16's matches

guado is a good team (animus isnt bad either i guess) and they got 5-0'ed so it's definitely not a stretch to say that u will get 5-0'd. obviously its rly possible that seendio will jsut fuck up one round and lose concentration and mayb u'll get a round or 2 but w/e
#1----Seendio
#2----I AM NOT BILLUSTER
#3----The Muffin Men
#4---SYOPS TF2
#5----Night Owl
#6----Aminus Victoria
#7----Blanc Esports

#10---Cloud 9
#11---Bwatbwatbwat (yesyesyes)
#12---Monkey Madness
#13--Squid Squad
#14--Mumble Robots
#15--Victorious Secret
#16---Morin than meets the eye
is what i'd say but either way thanks for the effort u put into the power rankings space

I agree with everything except our ranking in comparison to Carolina Fan Club because they beat us often in scrims and carolina is a god among men.

It's just a minor critique but if he's going to write for top 16 every week it's definitely understandable.

I understand how you feel and you might be right. If you wanted to do power rankings as a circle jerk, then yes it will be the same teams in the same positions week after week. I am doing things based on match performances being the most important factor and not who plays on what team.
testifyI appreciate that you took the time to write power rankings for open, but it's like you just looked at match stats and wrote everything based on that.

Thanks for the input tes, I like to hear good and bad.
Last week I stayed away from talking about names and stats. A few people mentioned that teams/people like to see themselves mentioned in write-ups. So my intention/goal this week was to spotlight some players on each team from this weeks matched. Maybe it was a little too stat heavy.
I'll try to see what else I can put into it but for that level of insight, I might have to watch 10+ STV's a week and add team captains for interviews. I don't know if I have that kind of time. In the end, I am writing this stuff at work when I have down-time during the week. I'll try :)
