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.

12. Tony Hawk Pro Skater (6-3)
Big wins against mobility gaming and thrick or treat proved to me that these guys are not your average TWL team. They are here to be a winning team in esea. This team has been together for so long that their chemistry and teamwork has to be one of their best attributes. Their demo, Kalkin, has drastically improved since I played against him a few months ago. VERY tough 5 game stretch coming up for Tony Hawk, they will need to win at least 1 out of the next 5 to remain a playoff contender.

13. mobility gaming (5-5)
i7/mobility gaming recently lost a very close match to expertise and is currently on a 4 game losing streak. They've made some changes to their roster by putting Hoegie at medic and their new re-addition, sever on scout. No offense to Hoegie's scout skills or jake, but this is definitely an improvement. soup has also been playing out of his mind lately. His stickies and pipes are sometimes "questionable", I will give him the benefit of the doubt right now. They have an easier schedule coming up, they need to win 3 out of the next 4 to remain in playoff contention.

14. logjammin (5-4)
A team that was proclaimed dead at the beginning of the season came back to life zombie style and has a clear shot at a playoff spot. With the recent addition of arizona (bdropped), this team has their playmaker that should able to help them contend against the other playoff contenders. Putting up 2 points against a solid lightning bolt team is pretty impressive...for a zombie. The matches against unWanted and Spacewhales should be "must wins" if they want to make it into the playoffs.

15. Princeton Plainsboro (6-3)
It is very nice to see a new team with some new players make the power rankings. Last time I played against these guys, they were a low team that the Bongos easily took care of. But with their recent stompings of United, Spacewhales and unWanted, I can only assume these guys have been working their butt off and dramatically improved. They have 3 tough matches coming up against the softies, purple cobras and the legion. They don't have to win any of those to actually make the playoffs, but I bet you one win out of those 3 matches will be the highlight of their season and a good result for their hard work.

16. Thrick or treat (4-5)
This team dropped their first 4 games played and I thought they were going to be done for sure. However, you never know what can happen with an easier schedule ahead and a hard-working team like thrick. Seems like thrasher is determined to finally play on ONE team that doesn't break up in the middle of the season. This team can easily be 9-5 next time I check in with them.
