ESEA-O S6W5 Power Rankings Part 2

By strong requests from the best demoman available on the free agent market and the 4th best scout on his own team, I have decided to write a second part for this week's power rankings.
Because there will be 16 teams in the playoffs, some of these teams should be highlighted. Just in case they pull of an upset in the first round I can say that I totally called it from the week 5 power rankings.
Honestly, the chances of upsetting a top team is very very low, but I do like ESEA's effort to give more players the playoff experience, even if it is only for one match.

11. The Legion (6-4)

The Legion had some roster issues at the beginning of the season when they couldn't find a solid replacement at scout for freddy. I think it is solidified now with kaidus and eriotic...but I'm not quite sure, since every time we scrim them, they have a different roster. One thing that has not changed from the roster is the consistent play of Jewbagel and Zate, their combo. They both have emerged statistically as a top 10 player in open at their class. Their demo also tends to hit players with pipes that I've only seen invite demos hit. Their win against Focus Gaming should be enough for the top teams to start paying attention to Legion. A win in their match on gullywash against expertise will set in ink for them as a playoff contender and a team to watch out for.

 

ESEA-O S6W5 Power Rankings

Dear Swaty,

Mainline was not a fun map. At all. My team wasted hours scrimming and matching on this map, only to find ourselves in a stalemate on 2/3 as my soldier nOem cries in frustration and I start to have flashbacks of TWL matches on fastlane. There are a lot of things you will need to change on this map, because I refuse to support a retarded baby made from well and fastlane for another league rotation until there are changes made.

Please use this week's map, gullywash, as an example of what a fun competitive map should look like. There is constant action everywhere, there are original aspects on every single point, and the name is fuckin awesome.

Also, Lost finale was FINE, I wish people would just stop whining about it and realize that they are mainly just upset that the show is over.

Love,

djfivenine


Nothing really to add after my mid-season awards. So here are the rankings.

1. Team neXziL - LW: 1 (10-0)

Not quite sure what is going on with them dropping Hostile Faction or the other way around, but it looks like they have moved on from their sponsor. Their name sounds like half nexus and half zilla gaming? I also heard something about idemise being in the picture as well? Whatever, let's not worry about sponsors, let's talk about the team. Yes, Harbleu left the team for invite. Going to be very difficult to replace the top fragger on the top team in open. Rumor has it that the team is not interested in giving their backup, tehoreoz, a try at that roam solly spot. Instead, they are going to try out Warpy as well as try to lure some sollies away from their current teams. I guess I cursed these guys when I said they were going to have a perfect season. It is still possible, but with a new soldier coming in, you never know how the chemistry with the team will be like. That exult/unr match on thursday is a huge trap game for these guys. New map, new solly, facing a team with solid teamwork.
