Click for last week’s Power Rankings
“Anddd we’re back for week 3 of the ego stroke session. I am the author, The Lord Of Whispers of FOF, The BDE Reigning MVP, Bad Boy, Royal Overlord Tyrant, King Of Helios Brendan, AKA FangOverFang. This week in FOF, we had a day off broadcast posting VODS instead. We also finally got to see COF play one game, come on guys, let's cheer for them for not having their games decided by forfeits! What do they win? Not being ranked again, they only played one game. My assistant has left me to work by myself, he was hired last week and doesn’t even show up the official week he's working. For this offense I will be taking out some of his Korean BBQ Paycheck. Now, to get back on track, will there be a new animal to be crowned king of the jungle?”
- Brendan (FangOverFang)
8th(?) - COF(?)
COF is a team I will hopefully be ranking next week if they can manage to play their games. They took down BBZ which is important for the standings and the team's confidence going forward.
7th - SKL [+/-]
Skill Based as a team seem to be floundering from their stretch of games. As a team they do have pieces to build off, with Zishan being a fantastic player. They just seem to be lacking in team cohesion and mental fortitude that will pull out some wins. A couple of SKL losses actually came in games they had gold leads in. If they can manage the ability to keep gold leads and close out games they will be better. Straighten up soldier!
6th - TAS [+/-]
While I really want to push TAS down to 7th for triggering my PTSD from all the forfeits, I will try to keep my hatred out of the rankings. Until next week bois.
5th - FS [+/-]
Fraud Squad slides into my DMs at the 5th spot, which for me at least means it goes nowhere. FS has another 1-1 this week taking down SKL in 29 mins and then losing by forfeit to YUBI. The game against SKL was pretty impressive overall, being a great win. All members performed great. Froahmurphy the ADC player had the most impressive stat line of the game but everyone on the team performed fantastic. Lets see if they can translate this win into consistency against the upper teams.
4th - SER [+/-]
Finally! Finally! Someone takes down YUBI, finally a team that punishes their bot lane for some of their over aggression, a team that finally puts Utility Monster on a carry! For this I will upgrade SER from a medium size pizza! Now they will be a large pizza! Let me just put on my SER merch really quickly, wait hold on how much does this cost? I thought it was supposed to be 14.99?! What happened? All jokes aside, this team played great against YUBI. Their sub jungler FilthyKhasual played great, and should be looking for a starting spot. SER got up two kills in the botlane off a timely Hecarim gank, then two kills up mid from an uber eats from Nocturne and Corki. SER got up three dragons, but struggled to close it out. Regardless of how clean the win is, it is a huge win by them.
3rd - HBK [-1]
Team H-block didn’t watch enough Bob The Builder and they couldn’t build on their impressive stretch of games. They lost to BBZ on Monday in convincing fashion, crumbling down in 24 minutes. H-block has very good individual players so I wouldn't expect them to keep falling but with the emergence of SER, and COF (finally) this team could drop and fast. Keep in mind H-block started their Mythic run last season going 3-0 then not winning another game, so the anxiety around this team is warranted.
2nd - BBZ [+1]
BBZ proved me wrong this week by taking down HBK. So, for admittance of my wrong doing I will push them up to second. This team does still look shaky but that's as expected with the role swaps that occurred on the teams. Sadly, for them they came off a huge win, against HBK then a crushing defeat against COF. This has always been a hard working team so I am not surprised to see them climb to second again. Let’s see if their bot lane can perform without trying to prove me wrong. Midlaner Red still needs to step it up in my expert opinion but, with their win over HBK they deserve the second spot.
1st - YUBI [+/-]
WOW, time to overreact! YUBI lost a game! Brendan, shouldn’t they drop in the rankings? No. Yubi did fall to SER in some of Monday's off broadcast streams but, they did come back during the game, almost bringing the gold lead back before losing. The loss against SER is nothing but a flesh wound in the catpocalypse storming over FOF. Sadly they did win off a forfeit against FS, leaving us in suspense for another week to see if they get knocked off their jungle gym.
