Tier I - Trophy Favorites: The Big 2

#1 - Make a wish_z Foundation
hyphen / nyxi / blank / wish / Puppy21 / blake
16-0 | 76 RW%

Leading the league in record but only tied for most class restrictions—the dreaded ~highlander players~ make a run for the W. With a perfect regular season record (including wins over the next 13 ranked teams) they seem the clear favorite to win the division.

#2 - afc players
spider (n3) / ethan / XBS / on99 / sushi / R33se
14-2 | 73 RW%

The other clear heavyweight team brings 2-time main champion sushi back to defend his title. Close losses to 2 other top teams during Clearcut week make this a bit of a shakier pick than Make a wish_z, but they seem to have improved since then with a couple of roster moves.

Tier II - Finalist Contenders

#3 - fresh trim
dotwet / dt / Yohnny / Joey Lemons / challengerwins / Squid
13-3 | 73 RW%

The only team to crack the Big 2's records comes in at an tentative #3. They've managed a very unpredictable season, upsetting against #2, taking rounds off #1, but losing to the next 2 teams I ranked below them. They boast a rock solid pocket/demo, and an incredible troublemaker of a roamer—if both their scouts are having a good day they could very likely see themselves in the grand finals.

#4 - THE MONSTARS
komp / yaima (bunnymonster (brands)) / slippi / FrostE / DeathToCats / randy
12-4 | 62 RW%

Bunnymonster returns after over 3 years to be exactly as good as he has been for the past 10. With some of the most experienced players around as well as some fresh talent, they've found a solid core this season. Despite their win over fresh trim, they failed to take a round off of the Big 2, and had some shaky performances vs sub-playoffs teams, earning them a very close #4 placement. If slippi can elevate his game for playoffs, and komp/FrostE both avoid their increasingly rare off days, they could definitely threaten a finals run.

#5 - PERUTECH
Nico / Vortex / Jigsaw / MoisDM / tony / reco
11-5 | 62 RW%

The high ping powerhouse for the season have delivered a strong performance so far, after an RGL rule debacle almost prevented them from playing at all. Despite, like MONSTARS, not taking a round off the Big 2, their win over fresh trim, as well as relatively clean wins against teams below them, earn them a #5 spot. The only 2 questionable losses they suffered were both on maps which to my knowledge are not commonly played in the SA scene, so I'm more than willing to give them the benefit of the doubt as an A tier team. If both their soldiers are activated at the same time they have more than enough firepower to push into the finals.

Tier III - Challengers

#6 - totally buff homiesexuals
tosm / jayy / NotDereck / DeltaMarket / ChaseDuck / ZoomxZe
10-6 | 56 RW%

The homiesexuals almost deserve a tier all to themselves with their somewhat unique record. Despite going 1-6 vs playoffs teams, they managed some very good performances vs the Big 2, including a 3-4 vs afc on Metalworks where they almost pulled off a reverse sweep. A spotty overall schedule would otherwise put them below their Tier 3 peers, but they've can compete well enough at any level to deserve #6.

#7 - C.R.A.I.G.
denisavich / illya / doiku / Maxx / MogulSoap / jakey
10-6 | 55 RW%

Sneaking into playoffs over Sweaty Spaghetti by only 3 rounds is C.R.A.I.G. (acronym meaning unknown). The squad only sneaks into a #7 placement however, with a win over the #7 team and a very close game vs MONSTARS. With MogulSoap returning to the starting lineup they have a definite shot at a strong performance vs Make a wish_z. I believe this has been one of the most promising and well-rounded teams this season, but going into playoffs as an 8th seed without much recent practice with their full starting lineup is a dangerous place for them.

#8 - reformed slur users
kier / dot / throne / tiptoes / keylime / starka
10-6 | 58 RW%

this all-lowercase team seems to have had a lot of fun this season while still making a playoffs run. their standout win was an out of left field 4-0 vs perutech featuring a massive performance from keylime. as i mentioned before, this may have come down largely to the map played, but it's a win that cant really be ignored. however, without strong performances against other top teams, and with some shaky performances vs teams like fgp and wangfang, their track record doesn't point to a very deep run. it is worth noting that they do come into playoffs with the benefit of a #6 seed, allowing them to avoid playing the big 2 until semis. all that said, with the skill and experience on their roster, they could definitely focus down and make a deeper run than expected.

Tier IV - Best of the Rest

I thought I'd give some mentions to teams that have done notably well despite not making playoffs

#9 - Sweaty Spaghetti
Durzo / Vio / Frisbee / Nootstook / quantum / pong
10-6 | 54 RW%

The moveup heroes of the season, Sweaty Spaghetti come off their 2nd place finish in IM season 6 to just miss main playoffs by a hair. With upset wins vs both MONSTARS and PERUTECH, as well as decent performances across the board, they showed they would have had what it takes to compete in playoffs. Despite not losing a game to any non-playoffs teams, their miss comes from a 1-5 W8B decider match vs CRAIG (had they won that game, they would have been seeded at least 7th).

#10 - fgp
lemon / bane / draco / tree / Wild_Rumpus / millie
8-8 | 54 RW%

I know I know, 8-8 records aren't even supposed to show up here, but it's my power rankings and I write about what I want, so I wanted to mention fgp anyway. Even though they ended 11th seed, they put up heartbreakingly close games against the top 8, even the top 4. With only a 1 round difference in their games vs Make a wish_z (the closest anyone got to beating them), MONSTARS, slur users, and Sweaty Spaghetti, they probably only a few key frags here and there from not only making playoffs, but coming in at a solid seed. Without any actual top 8 wins, and losses to the #9 and #14 seed, their placement is ultimately fair, but they stand out a lot among teams with similar records.

as presented in the image i would simply kill 3 different players with my bomb instead of the medic
