Ok, i'm getting spammed on steam to make dumb power rankings so i'll make a quick top 8.
ESEA S24 IM TOP 8 POWER RAINKINGS.
1. Running with Scizors: This team is with TONS of ESEA exp and having just won S23 8K should do it again. Even with more than half the roster off-classing if they need to they will most likely play the classes that best fit them if they need to pull off a win.
2. suck my jonathan: This roster is a power house and i'm putting them 2nd for the soul fact that if 8K main classes vs. them I feel 8K may pull a win. With EX-FROYOTECH player paddie and having won ESEA-I and ESA-LAN paddie has proved himself to be a top player in the world, playing scout should be no hard task for him as he's been doing great the entire season. With other great talent on the team like Mausey, SureShot, Kapoww, and digi, they are a fantastic team with tons of exp.
3. Muscle March: Alright this team is actually a 1st place contending team. I thought they would get top 4 but beating conner and the coons 5-1 in my eyes is super good. Tojo this season finally leaving DirtyMort now has a chance to prove himself that he can play at a high level, they did have Mr. Phlps sub for a few games but Dippidy is more than capable to be one of the stronger players in IM this season even if he is still on a 20 fps laptop.
4. Cat Noises: With the addition of Knuckles and Mustardoverlord, Cat Noises should be in good hands to make top 4. Knuck playing S23 Invite and attending ESA LAN with Circa eSports, Knuck is a fantastic addition to the roster. Mustard is the brain of the team, being a better demo than a solider in my eyes he should still be able to put good stats up and guide his team to victory with his big Mustard brain.
5. Dexters Lab: This team is kinda the sleeper in my eyes. They do face 3 of the top 4 teams so they need to bring their A game for this week. Beating conner and the coons is a great win for them but now we need to see how they can handle the other power house teams in officials coming up
6. conner and the coons: I think I over hyped this team. Losing convincingly to Muscle March and Dexters Lab, conner and the coons need to find something out to be able to take games off these other top teams. I thought with the talent of NateRivers, Vaati and Megawac they would be able to pull through and make top 4 but I have seen them do nothing yet, we need to see them face a team like Cat Noises or 8K to see what they can dish out.
7. The Sparkle Gang: Still putting this team lower on the grid because the 1st thing I noticed was Hellbent on med and June on roamer. With how this team plays Cat Noises already shut them out 5-1 along with suck my jonathan with a 5-1. unf has been playing great this season though, but it's not enough to face the other top IM teams.
8: OBAMACARE DEATHCAMP: This team could most likely steal 8th because of the worse teams in IM. They did have a nice win VS CanUDigglett and col_cuck, but i'm sure once they vs. the Jag team and get their FFW's they could steal 8th.
