I was hoping someone actually qualified would make power rankings but since no one else did here's my hot take(s) I wrote between classes.
Mid-Season Open Power Rankings (Feb. 2)
#1 Snore: These players are very good at Team Fortress 2.
#2 The Boomers: The next best version of the above (semi-casual team of IM players in Open). Based on the matches I've seen, they don't seem like they goof off as much as Snore's players (much less offclassing and lolunlocks), but I imagine Snore will play more seriously as they start to face tougher competition that they can't roll with Kritz Snipers and Double Pyro strats. Or maybe not, I don't know.
#3 hostilehamster datenight (formerly White Genocide): Their record is similar to Simian Aggression's, although they arguably have a stronger "best win" with their win over The N-Word Free Zone. I wasn't sure which one to give the 3rd spot, but the situation will likely sort itself out next week when they play each other. Initially, I had them at #4, but I think they deserve to be at least #3 since they added Rekuso on demoman (even if it isn't his main).
#4 Simian Aggression: Everyone has a ton of experience, with pretty much all of them having at least some IM experience. So far they've done well and have been able collect some solid wins over mid tier teams without dropping a round yet.
#5 Enjoy Freezing: Since the season is only about a third of the way through, this team has only been able to face one other upper open team, Good Damage 2, whom they beat 5-1. Pre-season, they seemed like a pretty strong team, and so far they've lived up to expectations barring their first game of the season where they lost 5-3 to Gameing eSports.
#6 Good Damage 2: Returning from a 11-5 open season, they've moved lobby lord Redd to demoman and managed to keep Sibby and Mode as well. Their additions of Tery, Ghadilli, and FrickMyNick will likely get them into the top 5-9 in the regular season. They lost to Home Run Thomas 5-4 on Badlands, but they did not have all of their current starters playing then. With their current roster, I think they're overall a bit better.
#7 Enoch eSports: Although this team doesn't have a ton of super standout names, they seem to be doing very well as a team. Their early schedule wasn't particularly tough, but they did pick up a strong 5-2 win over 5Head. They play Good Damage 2 and Plumpwench soon, so they'll have a chance to prove if they really belong in the top ten or not. Right now though, the strength of their resume kind of depends on how you think good 5Head is.
#8 5Head: Speaking of 5Head, they have looked solid so far. They haven't been together too long, but they apparently have pretty good DM (I basically copied this description from Boxcar's post).
#9 Hugs and Kisses: They were a pretty good mid-open team last season with about a .500 record excluding forfeit wins and losses. They changed up their roster some, but they've got a great new group of scouts with Rita and Puzza, and a new former IM pocket, Freedeerf, so I think they'll be really good with those additions.
#10 Gjohnce: I'm not really sure where to put these guys, although I do think they'll make playoffs. On one hand, they have Gjohnce (and some other very good players), but on the other, they are still a little unproven as a team since they haven't faced strong competition yet.
#11 N-Word Free Zone: Although they have two losses, they were both to good teams (5Head and hostilehamster datenight). Most of their players have a good amount of open experience. Aside from that, I don't know much about them, but they do have a decent win over Gameing eSports. They'll have a chance to move up a couple of spots if they beat Hugs and Kisses in their upcoming match.
#12 Lion Coalition: Even though their record is 3-3, they are better than their record
shows in my opinion. They started with a win over the decent Home Run Thomas team and played a competitive
3-5 loss to Good Damage. I'm not sure if they'll climb the list much higher, but I think they'll at least make playoffs.
#13 Home Run Thomas: As mentioned before, they did beat Good Damage 2, but it wasn't the best version of that team. However, it's still a good win, and they overall look pretty good with their only losses being to The Boomers (forfeit) and Lion Coalition. Their upcoming matches with Toaster in the Bath and Gjohnce should be competitive.
#14 Toaster in the Bath: Currently, their only loss is to The N-Word Free Zone, and since then they
have won five straight. Still, several of these wins were pretty close which is why they aren't ranked higher. They also recently had roster changes so we'll see how that affects them. From my limited knowledge of them, they do have some really great players in terms of individual skill so I think they have a lot of potential as the season goes on.
#15 Plumpwench: In their previous game, they were impressive in their ability to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win in the second half 5-4 over Carrier Penguins. Aside from that match, there isn't much else to go off of for now. They'll show more accurately where they stand soon since they've got a pretty tough schedule coming up with matches against Hugs and Kisses, Enoch eSports, and Toaster in the Bath. I think most of these matches will be close. Or maybe not. Don't listen my analysis much, I'm a sub-open shitty.
#16 Carrier Penguins: They have a good record so far at 5-1 (with that one loss being a very close game to Plumpwench), but they haven't dominated their wins as much as other top open teams have. Still, they are a returning team who had a good record last year, so worst case scenario I think they'll get 10 wins and make playoffs.
