In light of certain changes in policy, there most likely will not be any official news for IM on the main site. In it's stead I will be putting together a blog for IM news, power rankings, and the such. Since I don't have any constraints I will try to keep it extremely active, maybe going over specific matches if there was an upset (in IM) and explore more general TF2 things.
Obviously I've started with the first group of IM pre-season power rankings (they are a doozy).

I'm just going to use this thread and post here as I make updates
Pre-season Power Rankings 6-4 are now out.
I have also taken away most of the restrictions on commenting. It will no longer need to be approved (didn't even know it had that setting).
3-1 Pre-season power rankings will be out tomorrow

seems like an odd change, ESEA did the same thing before they ended up just axing eseanews altogether, but people actually got paid there - not sure why you would turn away free writers unless the available talent was just deemed to be below par
gl with the writing thing though xan, not many people understand how torturous/grueling it can get after a couple weeks

right now our lineup is 100% dependent on who shows up that night
so we switch classes around accordingly

WELP, I put together a short article of a configuration from what I believe to be a very reliable source
I have made the categories "Roster Changes" and "Power Rankings" to find these things easier as the season goes on
final pre-season rundown rankings tomorrow

Ok, the last stretch of pre-season power rankings have come out 3-1.
In addition, roster changes to both Kill Zill and Afro Magnums have been covered
Because of the ESEA mess-up and possibility of rematches there will likely be no power rankings for week 2 in order to give things more time to be established. In addition, I have already mentioned this but power rankings for the rest of the season will be 8 teams and be only the length of just one pre-season rundown because there is far less to write about once the season gets underway weekly.
Also, what do you guys think of me just placing themed pictures that denote the general subject of each article? I already have categories on the right toolbar of the main page to make it easier to navigate.

Awesome work, Xan.
Edit: I like the themed pictures by the way.

Because I alluded to some mysterious top 5 for each class, I decided to put one together
I'm waiting to see who Gorillion Dollars picks up on demo in place if Odb. Because of the ESEA mix-up, I don't think I'll be able to detail how their match became a 5-4 on Granary

I'm still playing scout
and hi5 is still playing pocket
also you didn't really provide any analysis on your list so it's kinda really wonky to look at because without having any solid backing most of your rankings seem really silly to me and probably to a whole lot of other people but I'm sure you have your reasons for ranking people where they are
plus without any analysis your rankings don't really have anything more interesting about them than say: a mustardoverlord forum post

well considering I alluded to these rankings in my pre-season rundown, it was meant to put into a list what I put into words earlier. Suppose I should've posted the list at the same time.
I'm going to be perfectly honest about the "Botmode switching to scout thing", you guys post so much inane retarded shit in regards to roster switches that I can't believe it until I see it in a match or something. I remember the "juice" of Blues playing pocket for Exultance, or "Muma" playing for Gorillion Dollars. At the time you guys posted that change I checked the logs and H5 was playing scout. I give your particular group of posters no credibility until you stop posting troll switches.
