my bad, was using what was written on the ESEA roster. I plan on pulling match demos for unknown rosters unless i know rosters are wrong (i.e. pyxel/thing/OP getting cut/quitting for rowpieces/blackstar/yipyapper)

if any other rosters are wrong or unstable let me know

kaz is also not playing on that team anymore

I think it's more of an issue of people wanting quality over quantity. If you look at sandblasts IM rankings he does it for eight teams with very succinct reasons why each team is in each spot, yours feels kind of rushed and there's very few mention of players and only a few results listed. You can also go the other way and make a larger ranking like Percy did at the beginning of the season with less info and that is acceptable, because who would honestly expect you to write about 16 open teams without losing your mind. It just seems like you picked the worst of both worlds.

And I'm pretty sure GGen is on your rankings and called them bad soooo.

i should preface this by who cares its open but im confused by how u can call a spreadsheet with rounds for/against/record a power ranking
all you have to do to see that garbage is go on esea
on another note im sure wrech cuts whichever mongs are beefing on their team and try hard in playoffs for another check

the top 6 teams in wolsne's power rankings are all east conference smh
edit : spelling

The spreadsheet is not the power rankings, it's just my attempt at learning about the rosters/records of the teams i'm not familliar with before I do a writeup in a way that is visually cleaner for me than looking at the scoreboard. I also decided to organize by overall ranking, and have been writing in notes such as how hard teams' schedules have been and what their rosters/cores have done in the past.

First keylime came for felsen, and I did not speak out, because I am not felsen.

Then keylime came for sully and murmur, and I did not speak out, because I am not sully and murmur.

Then keylime came for skateboard pete, and I did not speak out, because I am not skateboard pete.

Then keylime came for me, and there was nobody left to speak out for me.

I didn't read the whole thread nor did I pay much attention to the last few seasons of open threads much so I could be misinformed. When I was playing in Open, the write ups were done based on whatever teams were Top 16 at the week of writing. I could be confused here because of my ignorance of lower divisions, but I think if you guys wanna write about open I think this would be the easiest way would be to see who is currently ranked in top 16, and if you need any information on any teams you can just watch a demo of their latest match. Also writing based on previous week results and hyping up their performance for the following week will probably be a lot less taxing than trying to hype a team up for a whole season every single week.

This is all based on the few times I skimmed and decided to read through the open threads, but I have a feeling you guys are too concerned with making up your own top 16s every week and, as collateral, boosting egos. This format seems to be easier to make write ups on, and people will actually have to fight for a top 16 spot instead of relying on knowing people to boost their self confidence.

Also since you guys are writing it for the pure fun of it, you can make it a Top 16/10/8. I still think you should follow "whoever is Top 16/10/8 at the time of writing" instead of making up your own lists.

this is pretty much what i was going to do, was actually going to base mine off of the old low- tf2 blogspot

keylime the snake strikes again

don't forget mr. puzza

Even if drama alert nation died last season in a tragic incident (who am I kidding it was 100% my fault) it's nice to see the drama alert nation legacy continuing on

why is all this hate being directed towards me when zacice is the one who was bm'ing. i have never once gone heavy on viaduct

Yo big ups to Coon Platoon for waiting up so long to play our match, really nice guys everyone show those dudes some respect, great sportsmanship.

If anyone ever puts "zacice" and "bm" in the same sentence, I'm just going to assume they're either clueless or lying. Kid's the biggest sweetheart I've ever met.

smh 12k heals 0 dmg

Very true, he just wanted to test out using heavy to deny scouts. Apparently that's not allowed for some reason

not even having Kanye and Hitler as favorites smfh

scrim us and prepare for CHAOS SPHEE

im still mad that uve dropped like almost 6 meds in 2 days by playing spy on product sack waves

seriously can people not turn around

Heavy is a good strat on viaduct at times, but from what i can amount it sounds like it was done first mid, and usually mids are poor w/ heavy on viaduct and you are already in hot water with the team you were scrimming; while it may have been a good strat, it wouldve probably been better to wait a while and do it instead of just leading with that. imo

I don't want to tell you that you guys are terrible people and everything you do is intended to BM, because that's obviously not true. Most of you actually seem really nice to me. I've really liked you guys the few times we've scrimmed you. But I hope you do understand why your team isn't gonna get the benefit of the doubt from many people going forward. You've earned a reputation for BM, screwing around, and wasting time. This means the community won't tolerate things from you that they would from other teams. What people will dismiss as one team experimenting, they'll take as BM/time wasting from your team. This isn't unfair or a double standard. It's because of your actions. You chose to be this team, and you need to take responsibility for the choices you make.

I dunno. If it's true that you're having to resort to alts in discord just to get scrims, that really says a lot. This situation also easily could've been avoided with some communication. The other team specifically asked you not to meme. You could have taken that as an opportunity to say "sure, but we are gonna be trying something a little unusual. We're experimenting, not memeing." You didn't, and now you're getting kind of snippy on the forums because Entropy (quite reasonably) thought you guys were just doing what you have a reputation for doing.

hey guys/girls of open. it has been a good season so far. lets keep it going :)
