TF2 Invite Power Rankings - Week Five

TF2 Invite Power Rankings - Week Six


Three teams lord over the standings with three more competing for that fourth slot. Every team is in position for a fall and every team for a rise with only a few wins and losses separating the best from the rest. With every game important and no single team establishing themselves as a dominant entity so far the rest of the season remains important for all.





Team Rank Description

ComplexityTF2
Central
0-0-0 (.000)
Streak N/A
1. Complexity flipped their cp_freight scoreline against Dynamic when they met again on cp_badlands, although with the score tied midway through it was probably much closer than the defending champs would have liked. They still sit squarely near the top of the table, although they need to make up a bunch of matches to keep pace with Pandemic and EG, and they already ran into a bit of a fiasco when Loaded tried to forfeit them in a makeup earlier this week. The Complexity camp is starting to show signs of life, though, and Carnage may soon be back to his same old fragging ways. Expect for coL to tighten up their game as we inch closer to the playoffs.
Week 6
5:1 - Complexity at Blight
5:2 - Complexity at Pandemic
EG TF2
Central
0-0-0 (.000)
Streak N/A
2. After blowing their match against MmM last week, EG turned it around on Blight, beating their former rival 5-3 on cp_badlands for a bit of vindication. SycknesS had a poor game in the first cp_badlands match but EG adopted a new strategy involving sniping (not a bad idea considering how many headshots he had against Blight on ctf_turbine) and it worked for them on a map that usually sees little of it. That win places them on top of the standings despite their three losses, and they should stay there if they don't get too complacent this week against Dynamic and Loaded. Unless, of course, coL makes up a few matches all of a sudden.
Week 6
6:1 - EG vs. Loaded
6:2 - EG at Dynamic
blight-fanom
Central
0-0-0 (.000)
Streak N/A
3. Pandemic has yet to play a match since we last checked in, so they're still sitting pretty with a 7-2 record as a near lock to make the postseason assuming they don't blow the rest of the season. With the way the other teams in the league have been coming on recently, though, that's not a possibility to discount, although it seems unlikely with the strength of Pandemic's play thus far. They'll face Loaded, another two-loss team, on cp_badlands soon and they'll need to establish their dominance there. After that the schedule gets a bit tougher with EG, Blight, and Complexity as their next three opponents. We'll get a better idea of how they compare to the other top teams there.
Week 6
6:1 - Pandemic vs. Complexity
loadedtf2
Central
0-0-0 (.000)
Streak N/A
4. Loaded has less matches played than Complexity, and that's quite an accomplishment in that category, competing against a Carnage-captained team. They have yet to play any of their matches from Week 4 or Week 5, so we have not seen this team in action in ages. Their 5-2 record means they're just two victories away from lording over the league with Pandemic, Complexity, and EG, but it also means they're two losses away from the purgatory of Blight and MmM. With any luck we'll find out where they fall soon.
Week 6
6:1 - Loaded at EG

5. Ducky finally drank his muscle milk and all is well with MmM, although they are now entering the do or die part of their schedule. This week they play Blight and Dynamic, the two teams below them in the standings, on cp_gravelpit. They need the win against Blight to ensure the tie-breaker does not go to head-to-head should each team end up equally qualified for the 4th playoff position since Blight shut them out all the way back in week one. The Dynamic match will be a killer as another loss would leave them in a bad position with two games against Complexity still on the schedule. They need to practice cp_gravelpit hard.
Week 6
6:1 - MmM at EG
6:2 - MmM vs. Blight
Blight-TF2

6. Another week and another setback for Blight, this time against EG on cp_badlands. They're even deeper in a hole of their own devising, and with Complexity next one the schedule on one of their better maps in cp_gravelpit, that's not a place you want to be. Their playoff hopes are still more than the faintest glimmer, but the margin of error will near zero with a loss against coL. They can still dig themselves out but they'll need to prevent the mistakes that have plagued them all season long.
Week 6
6:1 - Blight vs. Complexity
6:2 - Blight at MmM

7. Dynamic nearly had a two-game win streak against teams named Complexity when the wheels came off and Enigma lead his brethren to revenge against the last-placed team in the league. Despite some recent gains Dynamic still lays in the pit, despite their strong play recently. There's still some hope they can climb out, but it'd take winning every match to do so. They'll have to start this week with EG on cp_gravelpit and follow it up with more against EG, Complexity, and others. Not likely, although this crew has improved enough to keep everyone guessing all the way.
Week 6
6:1 - Dynamic at MmM
6:2 - Dynamic vs. EG

Do you think ESEA should remove de_tuscan, and replace it with de_cpl_mill in the CSS S7 Map Rotation ?
No, keep de_tuscan in.
Yes, remove de_tuscan and add de_cpl_mill.
I don't mind.
