FogOpen: 68 teams

IM: 25 teams

Invite: 10 teams

Try sorting out Open with nearly 70 teams into a top 10/15 list. I would hate to write for Open, so props to Deathanchor for tackling a large division.

That's the thing though, other people are consistently doing it with a higher quality. The defense of "there are too many teams to handle and not enough time to proofread or else someone else would do it" doesn't work when someone else is already doing it.

Look, I get it, Deathanchor wrote stuff up at a time when nobody else would step up and consistently put out content. However, that's not the case anymore; regardless of information being correct or not, there's no excuse for getting paid to have awful grammar. Even cond and london have people proofread their stuff to double check, and they do it for free.

I'm not saying Deathanchor is retarded, or that he's a piece of trash writer, but I'm also not going to give him praise for doing mediocre work for my money (albeit a tiny portion thereof) when there are star writers out there who are putting in more effort without the motivation of a weekly check.

what bothers me is that, with the advent of logs.tf and sizzling stats, it should be so fuckin easy to figure out how well teams are doing, so that you don't just have to make conjectures based on whose names you recognize on the teams, but that deathanchor refuses to do that

I know for a fact that djc and fog do that constantly

conductorI said before that london and I will be writing power rankings every other week; if someone wants to get deathanchor fired for me I'd be more than happy to write power rankings/preds every week.

Can we make this a thing? Like, for reals?

Also, everything is worded so damn awkwardly and there's a grammar/spelling mistake in every other sentence.

Why would you wish that anyone would lose a job? That's pretty dickish.

You visit a restaurant every week and order a simple steak, not even a really nice filet, just a plain 'ol steak. The cook shits on a plate and hands it to you. This happens every week, but you still go cause its the only restaurant in town. He gets paid for this. At some point, a man who gives you shit when you ask for steak should lose his job.

Help him out then, give him real criticism instead of just wishing he'd lose his job. You must enjoy that shit on your plate if you keep going back.

This is a pretty stupid analogy. You are comparing READING a power ranking to EATING SHIT. Also, why the fuck would you EAT SHIT to begin with? when you can drive somewhere else to another "restaurant" out of town that doesn't serve shit on a plate( read someone else's power rankings)
