I'm back with more, feel free to comment if you disagree on stuff.

Ascent.EU vs Ora Elektro : 6-0 (5-1, 6-1)

What I expected : A remake of the Se7en vs Ora match in week 1. Even if you could argue that Ascent is not as strong as Se7en, they are still a level above Ora Elektro.
What I got : A correct prediction, for once (yay!), Ascent.EU had simply better DM and coordination. It was to see Ora Elektro try though instead of going all out with offclassing, and they did put up a valiant effort, managing to win a round and some middles in both maps, and generally putting a good fight in the first half of both maps.
Stand-out players : No one really, in my opinion. It was a match with mostly big teamfights and I didn’t notice anyone from Ora Elektro in particular, while Ascent.EU players were living up to my expectations. I guess I could mention Azunis, who is apparently on a mission to backstab every top prem medic in existence, and he’s doing a pretty good job at the moment.

My sons basketball team vs The swamp : 6-0 (2-1, 1-0)

What I expected : Certainly a close game. While I would have given an edge to The swamp at the beginning of the season, My sons basketball team proved they were no pushover with a golden cap against wer das liest ist doof, although they lost both the golden cap and the “longest team name” competition. They also tied against Nunya the week after, and it was with an altered roster. This match was also a good test for The swamp, seeing as they got only matched against Ascent.EU and The Bus Crew before.
What I got : (This is only based on the logs, seeing as STV demos are bugged for me.) Both maps were down to the wire. On Gullywash, The swamp got the first round after 15 minutes of play, but despite some skillful offclassing from their scouts, ultimately lost the game. Seeing as degu died 5 more times than Raptor, I am guessing that something went wrong on their flank. The second map was a 0-0 up until the final seconds and a successful backcap from Gotti. The swamp seemingly fixed their flank, but the log shows that they got more both more damage and kills than their opponents, displaying both good DM skills and a potential lack of focus fire (this is only a hypothesis).
Stand-out players : Scruff has some very good stats for Gullywash, and his heal-heavy play-style does not seem to impact his team negatively. Also Raptor is back, and it’s always nice to see prem players return (also that’s one more target for Azunis).

Nunya vs wer das liest ist doof : 0-6 (2-3, 3-4)

What I expected : Nunya and the Germans seemed both playoffs contenders, with rosters that combined both new prem players and seasoned veterans. With both of them coming from less than satisfying results against former top High teams the week before, this match could very well show who has it in them to reach playoffs, and who doesn’t.
What I got : Well, it was certainly one of the closest match of this season, if not the closest. Gullywash went for 10 minutes before anyone scored a round, but right after Nunya did, the Germans struck back with 3 extremely fast rounds, winning mid every time. They eventually managed to contain Nunya’s aggression for the rest of the match, losing one other round in the process, but still coming out on top. The second map started with the Germans taking 3 fast rounds again, but this time they could not contain the sheer aggressiveness of Nunya, who managed to take back 3 rounds in less than 9 minutes and also won every mid but one. Unfortunately for Nunya, their playstyle turned on them, and some after failed pushes from them, they ended up conceding another round and losing the game/
Stand-out players : Puoskari had a strong performance on both maps, showing that he’s still a top scout and a force to be reckoned with. Smirre joined the Germans to replace letto (which means that I can’t call them “the Germans” anymore), and had a very good game and looks like an upgrade right now.

It looks really good, it's a clear and recognizable design. Congrats !

Exactly, the issue with winlimit 5 (in my opinion) is that it can cut short very exiting matches.

#2 Sorry, I should have checked before. It's not something you played in the last 2 seasons though ?

#3 I would love to be a writer, but I don't really know how to apply to that position. Should I just add him or something ?

Heyo, I'm back with more. I've decided to write this one despite the big Ascent vs 7 game not being played, so that I'm not too late. i'll probably make a separate thread for that match, or include it in the week 3 review. As always, if you spot spelling mistakes, or just wanna chat about why I said this and not that, feel free to leave a comment (I check those a lot as I am desperate for any kind of validation).

The Bus Crew vs The swamp : 1-5 (1-2, 2-3 GC)
What I expected : A close match, as I would have classified both of those teams as the weakest prem teams at the moment. To me, the swamp was a pug team who could improve their coordination, and The Bus Crew are quite inconsistent, despite being able of a good level of play.
What I got : Despite the close scoreline, the swamp was the dominant team in this match. On Sunshine, good holds were the mark that their teamplay improved, and they made relatively few mistakes, causing The Bus Crew to have to fight the clock as well as the swamp. They were a bit less confident in the beginning of Gully, being lead by TBC for almost the entirety of the map, but managing to finally get a point on the scoreboard boosted them, and they eventually won the game, albeit in a golden cap. The Bus Crew seemed a bit lost when it came to breaking stalemates, and they still had trouble stopping the swamp’s aggression.
Stand-out players : Yllen was missing last week, and the swamp’s increased performances can very well be attributed to the Brit, as he pulled some quite good logs. Crayon was very drawn to offclassing, and with some success as well. I’m mentioning him because he might be in the “Muuki s26” playstyle, where his offclassing was more successful than his “normal” class, and while this can work against some opponents, he will need to step up on scout as well if he wants to make it deep into playoffs. This is also why I’m only talking about Crayon, as even though iatgink has offclassed a fair bit as well, he has already proven himself on scout before.

Ora Elektro vs wer das liest ist doof : 4-2 (1-2 GC, 2-1)
What I expected : Seeing as Ora Elektro previous match was against Se7en, I expected them to come in hot and ready to prove themselves, especially considering that wer das liest ist doof went to a golden cap against the other team that came from high.
What I got : It was certainly a close match. The Germans were stronger on sunshine, thanks to good performances from their soldiers on middles, but it was evenly matched, and you could see that both teams respected each other. Ora Elektro managed to strike back on Gully, with their flank being very efficient, and even after the-team-that-I-cant-pronounce-the-name tied up the scores, they did not lose hope, and went back in the lead very quickly.
Stand-out players : clip had some very smart bombs on Sunshine, proving that he isn’t a simple feed roamer. Jynxed had a very strong overall performance on Gully, picking up best fragger of the map by a decent margin, and showing that his ping is not bothering him too much.

Nunya vs underdogs (Rakuzan) : 3-3 (4-3 GC, 1-2 GC)
What I expected : Nunya definitely seemed like a cut above all other prem teams apart from Ascent.EU and Se7en. Underdogs could have put up a decent fight, but in the end, the Finnish scouts fragging safari would seal their doom. Or so I thought.
What I got : Nunya came out strong, taking 3 rounds in less than 15 minutes, but I can’t help but think they got a bit overconfident and lost some rounds they definitely should not have lost (especially the one that pushed to a golden cap). This was a wake-up call, and they managed to win said golden cap, but underdogs were in their zone now and the second map was much more back and forth, with Nunya’s soldiers being denied a lot more often. It went to a golden cap, but one clean mid from underdogs was all they needed to get the 2 points. It is worth to note that underdogs were playing with a slightly different roster, as Scruff played for pirezzz (not too much of a change, as Scruff was in their main line-up in season 28), Raf and Gotti swapped roles (interesting change, but they managed to make the most of it), and Olgha merced for Ace (I have no idea why they did this, it’s not like Olgha was horrible or anything, but I did not even know that he played med).
Stand-out player : Swi is a complete stranger to me, but he managed to go toe-to-toe with the Baltic butchers, and that’s no small feat. Scruff was far from under-performing as well, but Swi was really good, and not only DM-wise.

I want to at least. it's not like school work is blocking me anyway.

#3 I was using "level" like "division". Also I've never heard of Yohn before this season, so I don't really know his reputation.

Heyo, I got bored in class and I've decided to make this. I wanna keep doing it since it's pretty fun, but I don't know if I should keep making a separated thread or just post this in the match comments. If you have any feedback on typos, formatting or just want to argue, feel free to leave a comment.

Se7en vs Ora Elektro : 6-0 (6-1 ;6-1)
What I expected : 7 to roll.
What I got : 7 rolled. Ora Elektro did put up a decent fight, managing to get a point on each map and running down the clock a fair bit, although you could also justify this by 7 not really trying their hardest. Still, I feel like Ora Elektro showed some great teamplay, and that is impressive for a team with 3 new players on the roster.
Stand-out players : Azunis had some great spy plays, and seemed very confident on the class, proving that his success wasn’t due to luck.

Ascent.EU vs The swamp : 6-0 (5-0; 6-1)

What I expected : Ascent to win comfortably, but this had the potential to be closer than expected as Ascent changed their roster and The swamp are not a bad team on paper.
What I got : Ascent definitely proved that their roster changes are not impacting them in any way, as they strolled through the entire match, losing their only round to a smorgasbord of offclasses. It was a bit of a letdown for The swamp to be honest, as their roster is composed of players who already played their class on a prem level (except Crayon, unless you wanna count HL). They were missing yllen so it may have caused an impact on the calling, but they should really step it up if they wanna reach playoffs and not get crushed.
Stand-out players : Credu pounded yo

Nunya vs The Bus Crew : 6-0 (4-2; 4-2)

What I expected ; A close game, with a slight edge to Nunya.
What I got : It certainly was close, but Nunya was always a step ahead. Their scout combo was no match compared to the Bus Crew, and they were good at imposing their own pace on the game. Apart from the scouts, the rest of the rosters were evenly matched and could go toe-to-toe with one another. Hell, Deox and Alba aren’t bad, they just couldn’t stop the Finnish duo frantic destruction. I’d be curious to see how both teams evolve other the course of the season, especially the Bus Crew who are really playing like a team and could prove a nasty surprise in the future.
Stand-out players : Both of the demomen really showed up on this match. Lukas and Yohn both hit the 350 DPM bar, quite impressive when you consider that they are new to playing that class at this level.

wer das liest ist doof vs Rakuzan : 5-1 (3-2; 4-3 GC)

What I expected : The Germans seemed strong enough to be considered favorites, but Rakuzan is a team full of surprises so anything could happen.
What I got : (This game was not casted, so I’m basing this on logs only. Take this with a grain a salt). It certainly was closer than I thought it would be, but since I have not watched the match, I dunno if it’s because the Germans are overrated or if Rakuzan are underrated.
Stand-out players : clip has some great stats for a roamer, and I’m curious to see if pirezzz- can go back to his previous skill, and how fast it may take.

I'm still stuck on jump_academy_easy.

Bonsoir.

I hope Jimb0t will carry my team like at i61.

Look, if your point is "it's not in the dictionary, then it's not true" you can fuck off. The wikipedia pages linked above provides good starting points, but I get the feeling that you are only here to nitpick unimportant stuff while ignoring scientific evidence.
