Hey, thought I’d make some power rankings cuz this season’s div 1 is super close and I had fun making some of these a couple years back for esea. I also tried to include a little player ranking for funsies, but these are mostly just meaningless numbers so don’t take them too seriously. I based these off my team and my own experience playing against these different rosters in scrims and matches. Let me know what you think and if you agree or disagree!
Div 1 Power Rankings
#1 Alan Gaming
Scouts: yerb and morsca (#2 scout combo)
Soldiers: tony and rowpieces (#1 soldier combo)
Demo: hunter (#3 demo)
Medic: dylan (#1 medic)
Description: Top seed for the div, super solid team with a lot of smart players. Their soldiers do a ton for them, their scouts roll, and dylan takes the spot as the hardest medic to kill in the div. They did suffer an early loss in the season to no name but many have speculated as to other extenuating circumstances being the cause for that. Since then, they’ve had a clean run so far and look to continue their strong form.
#2 Milkies
Scouts: scarves and bbc (#1 scout combo)
Soldiers: jetz and gloperz (#3 soldier combo)
Demo: pandoo (#2 demo)
Medic: luddy (#4 medic)
Description: This team has insane dm potential in scarves and bbc but seemingly lacked the cohesion and teamwork alongside their other classes early on in the season. That said their soldier coordination is coming together and they don’t need to do all that much to capitalize off their scout players. While I think this team can out dm a lot of the lower teams, I think they will fail to beat out AG’s smarter play, demonstrated by AG sweeping them 4-0 earlier in the season.
#3 no name
Scouts: dit and elijahh (#3 scout combo)
Soldiers: urmphi and kevito (#5 soldier combo)
Demo: mxr (#4 demo)
Meidc: rkt (#3 medic)
Description: This team is a bit of a wildcard with a lot of recent roster changes as well as inconsistent performances. On one hand, they beat the top seed in the div, on the other hand they have had sketchier performances against lower level teams as well. On the bright side for the roster, after having picked up rkt they have strung together a clean 3-win streak. Hopefully they can retain that streak leading up to playoffs.
#4 Football Team
Scouts: shiningstar and dishsoap (#5 scout combo)
Soldiers: safrix and alexandros (#4 soldier combo)
Demo: spaceghostscoffee (#1 demo)
Medic: peppermint (#5 medic)
Description: This team has had a back and forth season, but in my own view their roster shows a lot of promise. Their soldier combo has great timings and their scouts aren’t lacking either. I don’t think it can be overstated how central sgc’s role is in both their team’s current success as well as their potential growth. While a fourth place may be an ambitious estimate based off their current performance, this is definitely one of the rosters I could see surprising teams later in the season.
#5 Kronge Realm Off-White
Scouts: ambroon and skele (#6 scout combo)
Soldiers: bwelp and alley (#2 soldier combo)
Demo: nomi (#5 demo)
Medic: pladinium (#2 medic) / maybe ales? (in which case med ranks are fucked up)
Description: Considered veterans for the division, offclassing kronge realm have mixed skill levels. For example, where ambroon would be one of the stronger scouts in the division, skele would probably be considered one of the weaker ones. That said, their soldiers play well and if they did pick up pladinium, they’re one of the better meds in the division for sure.
#6 lotad
Scouts: ether and exile (#4 scout combo)
Soldiers: toy and brimstone (#7 soldier combo)
Demo: asura (#7 demo)
Medic: msh (#6 medic)
Description: lotad has had surprisingly close games against some of the higher seeded teams, notably AG and milkies, so they have the potential to be another sleeper team. That said, they’ve had a rough season so far, just barely squeaking out a 5-4 win against The Bradman Bunch. They have some amazing star players in exile and toy however and no matter how their season goes, I’d for sure expect some more killer games.
#7 The Bradman Bunch
Scouts: animus and triple (#7 scout combo)
Soldiers: mustardoverlord and marty (#6 soldier)
Demo: zbra (#6 demo)
Medic: figsy (#7 medic)
Description: The Bradman Bunch rounds out the pack at 7th. They have had a couple close games against some of the lower level teams, but have failed to bring home the win. In their strong suits, their soldiers are smart and make a lot of space for the rest of their team, and despite being ranked at the bottom, their scout combo is not that far behind the likes of football team or kronge realm, although their teamplay is not necessarily there. I could see them climbing up to 6th but not much higher but hopefully they’ll play some more great matches to watch leading up to the playoffs race.
