#44 ESEA Open Power Ranks - Week 5 - Gullywash in TF2 General Discussion
tojoSpaceCadetWHAT ARE THOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE
edit: oh yea yack me off also not here?
Vortexyack me off should be where not around bears are at, pretty crazy they're not even in the honorable mentions but i guess we'll see next week when they have to play shiki's team and jaguar's team

I am/was aware of yack me off before i did the rankings. As I said in the beginning, I am not into popularity contests. The ranks are more based off match performances and schedule strength than anything else. Yack me off have 8 wins total but 4 of them were FFW's. Not a single win was against a team in the top10 or near the top10. I am quite sure they will be there in future weeks but they will need to prove it first.

#2 ESEA Open Power Ranks - Week 5 - Gullywash in TF2 General Discussion

#6 – Puck Fat (5-2) - (6-2 soon)
Scheduled Strength: Above Average

The reformed Cloud 9 boys find themselves in an interesting position. They had two hard fought losses against Top 5 teams sockheads and Weiner Bros. Both matches were competitive and despite the losses, show this team can hang with any in the division. That said, having 2 losses in the first 6 matches means that scheduling will be in Puck Fat’s favor. They will likely face easier teams in the coming weeks and rack up some wins but by the end of the season on Badlands or Viad, they will be tested against Top 5 teams leading into playoffs.

#7 – rip john wayne kayc (4-3)
Schedule Strength: Average

With a 4-3 record, SS and company have had a tough start but the experience and talent this team has cannot be ignored because of a few losses. I have no idea how serious they are taking the season and that might be the most important factor. They are missing a Sunshine match from Week 2 and will make-up that later in the season in what will no doubt be an easy victory/forfeit win. Because of the 3 losses, they will certainly face easy competition in the coming weeks and add several wins to the record.

#8 – Doom Room (7-1)
Schedule Strength: Weak

Doom Room have the potential to be a wildcard team this season but have a lot to prove. Through the first 8 games, the only match of note was a 5-2 loss to Elite Pwnage Squad on Process. The first half looked like a roll for Elite Pwnage Squad but Doom Room turned it up for the 2nd half and made it competitive. Their Gullywash matches this week should be of interest and show us what this team can do. They face 2 teams close to the top 10 that may offer a good challenge.

#9 – Not Around Bears (6-2)
Schedule Strength: Above Average

NAB make my Top 10 because of a tough starting schedule. 2 convincing losses to Top 5 teams combined with 6 solid wins against lesser opponents shows they are a cut above the average. This team is not without talent and if they can gel together, there may be a surprise or 2 in store as the season progresses. NAB faces Strafe Power and Puck Fat this week on Gullywash so after these matches we can see what they have under the hood.

#10 – Blue Elephant (8-0)
Schedule Strength: Weak

Blue Elephant slips into the 10 spot because I enjoy an 8-0 record, what can I say. They have not played a single team in the Top 10 and have 2 nail-biting wins over Mirrorgate(dead) and Prw Rangers. I highly doubt they will remain undefeated or in the Top 10 after this week. They face powerhouse teams Weiner Bros and Mutual Consent on Gullywash. An upset win is highly unlikely in both cases but they can prove their worth by making the rounds competitive.

Honorable Mentions : Strafe Power, Smoke Nothing Everyday, Pwr Rangers

#1 ESEA Open Power Ranks - Week 5 - Gullywash in TF2 General Discussion

I decided to do my own Power Rankings for Open because nobody is doing articles this season and it is fun to write stuff at work to pass the time. It also made no sense to do power rankings until each team has played the first 8 matches because that is just a popularity contest.

Let me first say that I think this season of Open is going to be fantastic. There is not a single sandbagging team of invite rejects trying to get a quick paycheck by “off-classing all season”. That leaves a lot of hungry players and teams close in skill level with a very attainable goal at the end of the road. I expected to see some great matches in the weeks ahead as the top teams jockey for playoff positions.

My rankings are based off a few factors.
--Match Performance (most important)
--Schedule Difficulty
--Knowledge of the players/teams
--Scrim Results (least important)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#1 – Weiner Bros (8-0)
Scheduled Strength: Above Average

With 4 of their first 8 matches coming against teams in or around my Top 10, the Weiner Bros have performed as expected with a clean 8-0 record. Even before the season started, many had these guys pegged as the team to beat this season. They have solid players at every position and the combo of Shiki/Peyote has few rivals in this division. I was hoping to see them have a tougher Gully schedule but they should cruise with 2 solid victories this week.

#2 – Mutual Consent (8-0)
Schedule Strength: Average

Mutual Consent had a very easy schedule until Snakewater week where they were twice put to the test. While I expected the sockheads match to be very close the Strafe Power result was more surprising. This team has arguably the strongest and most aggressive scout pair in open. Brrton and Pinkushin will be difficult for most teams to deal with as they clean-up this teams heavy hitting projectile classes very well. Gullywash week shouldn’t be much of a challenge, expect 2 solid wins.

#3 – sockheads (7-1)
Schedule Strength: Strong

Socksheads have easily had the most difficult schedule during the first 8 matches having played teams ranked 2, 5 and 6 in my Top 10. All were competitive matches that illustrated how even the top teams are right now. The wealth of experience on this team should serve them well when playoffs begin and they will be a scary team to face. Gullywash week should offer little challenge for this team.

#4 – Elite Pwnage Squad (8-0)
Schedule Strength: Average

EPS is a team with lots of talent and despite the 8-0 clean sheet they sport, it has not been the smoothest start. They have not faced off against a Top 5 team yet and the matches they had against contender teams were shaky wins at best. The most recent being a 4-3 win over rip john wayne kayc that could have easily been a loss. Gullywash week will continue the trend of weak scheduling and a 10-0 start is highly likely. Perhaps on metalworks week, they will get a Top 5 team to face.

#5 – BLANC Esports (7-1)
Schedule Strength: Below Average

BLANC is my team and I have a lot of confidence in my teammates. We are getting stronger each week and by playoffs, I feel we will be a difficult team to defeat. That aside, our schedule has been soft for the opening half of the season. Only the match against sockheads was a real test and look forward to the rematch down the line. Looking at our current schedule, I anticipate a 9-1 record after Gullywash week. With hopes of a Top 5 opponent for Metalworks.

Ah yes Halloween! The time of year I spot the children with brown paper bags to give out large handfuls of candy mixed with Ice-Cubes. As the ice melts the weight of the candy rips the bag open and children cry further down the block.

Chaos is coming.........

#65 do you play games with lights on or off? in Off Topic
SpaceCadetLet me drop some knowledge in this thread to erase myths. My own parents told me when I was younger about playing video games with the lights off and how it is bad. My parents and yours are wrong again.

I manage one of the top rated Ophthalmology (eyes) institutes in the county. Seeing this thread, I asked 2 of our top doctors about playing video games with lights on or off. They both assured me, it is no negative effect at all on your eye sight in any way if with lights are on or off.

Have fun in the dark gamers.
I'd love to believe that but, let's just say I'm a tiny bit skeptical

What are you skeptical about? My post? or the doctors opinions?

#56 b4nny beef in TF2 General Discussion
CptKobeI don't understand how that is a "typical reaction", Knoxx was just giving a reason on why they weren't as good as froyotech. For b4nny to laugh in his face shows poor sportsmanship, imo.

I think a better move would've been for him to just ignore it, and just realize that his team won anyways, so it doesn't even matter.

There is a difference between giving a reason for a loss and making an excuse for a loss. He rightly laughed in his face for saying the team was"not experienced and only 3 months together". Give me a break, each player on that team has tons of experience.

Could b4nny have done nothing at all? Sure he could have but making excuses is a way of talking shit, so I don't have any problem with his reaction at all.

KanecoSmesiKanecoI was more disappointed when b4nny laughed in knoxxx face in the interviews after reason got eliminated, the man looked crushed ;___; I felt so bad for him...
Vid maybe?
https://youtu.be/UB6h3um4T58?t=2h5m26s

That is a typical reaction after someone says "we only played together for 3 months" as an excuse. I would have laughed in his face too.

What were they supposed to do, give him a tissue and rub his vagina because he was "crushed" from a loss?

#3 i55 Day One Summary in News

My Day 1 opinions, hyped for day 2

Danger Dogs:

They are obviously this I-series invite division punching bag. The 6th spot needed to be filled by some team but they clearly belonged in the Open Groups. They barely defeated Windtunnel in the 1st playoff round to advance. They will not get past Lower Round 3.

Reason Gaming:

With the exception of the match against DD, Reason is the only team in the division to have not finished off a worthy team before hitting the time limit. (DD does not count) Yes, the competition is at the highest level but the lack of finishing teams and winning rounds speaks to a team chemistry problem. I hate to point at any players but kaidus has under performed in every single match. His damage and frags have been consistently low while heals have been high. A possible reason for this is the even worse performance of Forsaken. This dude was hyped beyond belief before this started, still waiting on it. If forsaken and kaidus fix whatever is going on, Reason will begin to roll teams. If not, knocked out in Lower Round 4.

Ascent:

Just like watching this past ESEA LAN, Ascent puzzles me. If Ascent was a professional athlete, they would be described as a "streaky" player. For a few minutes, they will seem amazingly in sync then for a few minutes seem totally lost. Against teams at this LAN, its a short lived way to play. rando is an amazing pocket and the strongest player on the team. He is also eating an average of 40% of the heals but I don't see the equal damage numbers. Either the team isn't supporting the strongest player enough or he isn't playing up to standards. Either way, if that gets fixed, Ascent will start winning maps and could go as far as the Lower Round 5 but beyond that may not happen.

nerdRage:

A monster team that is balanced and flexible enough to hit you with almost any tactic. Would not surprise me if they won the whole tournament. TEK was a force on the 1st day that no team had the answer for but Starkie is the play maker this team revolves around. It was a bit unfortunate to see NR play Froyo on Viad. I feel NR can matchup better on a 5CP map. I look forward to the possible best of 3(or 5) between these teams. It would be a shame if they don't meet again when it all counts in the playoff bracket.

TLR:

They played day 1 perfectly and should not change a single thing. They were my pick to be in the finals with Froyo before the tourney started so I am not that surprised. Alfa made some huge plays, especially on Gully vs Reason. All the talk about him being a downgrade from shadowburn is rubbish. While shadowburn is a great player, he is just a very flashy roamer in my eyes. Alfa is a very consistent player who gives the team flexibility with his sniping. In the end, that combination may be more valuable for TLR than a few airshots in a frag video.

Froyo:

So the obvious odds-on favorite to win the whole thing and for good reason. Coming into this, Ash was the only question mark on the roster. To be honest, he has played very well but is still a big question mark because the important games are ahead. That said, it doesn't matter what Ash does because b4nny with 0 ping, 300 health and a pocket medic looks unstoppable. The rest of the team, especially clock and ash are simply playing aggressive off him perfectly. I can see Froyo possibly dropping a map to any of the other top 4 teams but what I can't see them doing is dropping 2 or 3 maps in the finals. Froyo will win the tournament.
