Brendan’s Week 5 Luna Power Rankings
9/27/2021
Click for last week’s Power Rankings
“Unfortunately, we’re back at this once again with the Burger King duo. If y'all don’t know who the BK duo is…good luck Charlie. I honestly am forgetting what my extended titles were and I was just filling up gap space to meet the required word count. I would like to sincerely apologize for missing last week’s power rankings. It has been a rough week for myself and my editor. I was out becoming a father and Antoons tore a muscle from a light jog. Since my assistant Kevin trolls me and can’t show up, I hired another assistant Johnny. As there is only two weeks left in the season, matches now hold more weight, because playoffs are around the corner. To make up for our failure to produce ego points we’re going to be making Spongebob memes for each team. We put a lot of work into them and this power ranking so we hope you enjoy them. Without further delay, aye yo Pierre you wanna come out here?”

8th - SKL [-1]
Skill Based will fall down to 8th place this week. To start off with, the ability to win games in League of Legends may be hard for most people. Antoons can’t win SoloQ games and SKL can’t win FoF games. SKL has trouble keeping their gold leads and closing out games properly. Just like every solo queue game the ADC player isn’t the problem on the team, but the others around him. SKL unfortunately lost 3 of their last 4 games, with the only win being against Serenity Senate.
In their upcoming week they face off against Team Asorth and Fraud Squad. This is the most important week for any team in the Helios League as both matches heavily influence the playoffs. Going 0-2 all but seals their fate, while going 2-0 gives them a fighting chance. Let’s see if SKL can get a sip of water and snatch the wins they need or they will continue to sweat out losses.
7th - FS [-2]
Fraud Squad drops down to 7th place this week. Despite having more wins than TAS, they lost to them in week 4, splitting the season series 1-to-1. Personally I think they are overall the weaker team. In the beginning of the season FS struggled with their macro and micro play and the ability to last hit minions and this hasn’t been fixed. To be optimistic about the future FS is currently holding that last playoff spot trying to fend off SKL and TAS.
Throughout the two week vacation, FS has gone 0-4 putting them on a 5 game losing streak. I’m nervous for FS because they face BBZ in the upcoming week. They also face SKL which is vital for keeping their playoff spot. If they manage to take the win against SKL their hopes for playoffs drastically increase. *whispers* we all saw FS vent in electrical
6th - TAS [+/-]
Team Asorth will glide their way into 6th place this week. If you watched any of TAS’s games you would completely understand our meme choice.They came into FoF back in Season 2 in which they played like an aggressive caveman and it hasn’t changed. Despite my love of their style, it's coin flip gaming. As I mentioned in past releases, they are and always will be a feast-or-famine style team. TAS are now 1-3 in the past two weeks taking a win against FS, which is huge for them.
I expect TAS to take another surprise win or two. TAS’s playstyle is better than FS’s style which can aid them in securing playoffs. In their upcoming week, they will face SKL which is a MUST win in the race.
5th - SER [-1]
Serenity Senate *zooms* their way into 5th place this week. As the lead train conductor of the Serenity Senate hype train, I think we hit a brick wall. Despite their HUGE win against YUBI, they lost to BBZ and HBK soon after, proving that win was a fluke and that they don’t belong in the upper echelon of the league. Serenity is a team I think can still surprise some of the upper teams based on their style of play but they aren’t ready to be considered a big dog.
We need to see consistency from Serenity for them to be placed at a higher rank. Sadly they lost 3 out of their 4 games in the past two weeks. In their upcoming week, they play against COF and YUBI. Serenity needs to have a massive Week 7 in order to stay in the playoffs.
4th - COF [+4]
The Church of Alphonzo will kneel their way into 4th place this week. COF... about time ya’ll are finally a dog in the race! Congrats on being a part of my utter trash power rankings. I have been quite impressed with their gameplay especially with their win against BBZ. I did not rank them higher due to their loss against HBK. where they lost 4 dragons and the entire game in 33 minutes. Although, I think COF is the weaker team compared to HBK. COF still has a small sample size therefore… they can pop up higher in the future.
In their upcoming week, COF has two games which they should win handily if I was a betting man. Ahaha… which I am. In addition, I support bringing poker to the FoF discord! Let’s get it done and ruin our healthy lifestyles!!!!!!
3rd - HBK [+/-]
Team H-Block will continue their taxes at 3rd place. H-Block didn’t get to slap YUBI with tax evasion though they slapped JeffGodGamer with a car hired by ProLupul. H&R Block have had an impressive 5 game win streak going on. In my mini two week vacation, H-Block had gone 4-0… maybe I need to take more vacation time so they continue this stellar play. Quick note, HBK player “H-block” has changed his name to “Spierce”. Sadly his name ranking will stay the same.
In the upcoming week for H&R Block, tax season is around the corner, can they slap tax evasion on YUBI and BBZ? If they manage to grab a win against YUBI, their confidence will sky rocket through the roof against BBZ. Throwing some shade, I think H&R Block goes 0-2 in the following week. Please. please, PLEASE do not hit me with tax evasion :((((
2nd - BBZ [+/-]
BBZ is a team that I want to give love to, as I know for sure they read the power rankings. When I called their bot lane leftover oil in the tuna fish can they stepped it up. Teph and Orphic are becoming strong members of BBZ, finally helping to carry the load with Jafy and Dakks. I challenged mid laner Red to perform, and he's stepped up improving his gameplay and finding his style of play, although he still has a lot of room to go.
Going into week 6 BBZ faces FS and HBK. They should handle Fraud Squad handily but the HBK match is of peak interest for both playoff standings and my own interest. They talked a lot of trash last game against HBK after I predicted wrong. To remedy this failure I will refrain from predicting so they don’t make a Joushi style video flaming me. BBZ ain’t sh*t.
1st - YUBI [+/-]
The Animal Kingdom known as YUBI stayed on top for another consecutive week. If only the rest of FOF was as consistent as YUBI, we wouldn't have to prepare so many show matches. Despite YUBI staying on top of the rankings, they did lose a very important whisker. ADC player JeffGodGamer was recently hit by a 2007 Ford Fusion hired by assassins. Despite Jeff only coming out with slight damage to his collarbone, you should have seen the other guy. The entire FOF family is wishing him a speedy recovery. Sivolock, former mid laner, will be subbing into the ADC role. Like a form of twisted fate, Sivolock was originally a ADC player and Jeff was originally a mid-laner until they swapped roles. Now Jeff gets a hit called on him and Sivolock is back to the CBT known as the ADC role. Understandably, Sivolock looks weaker in his off role compared to mid, but I expect it won’t hamper the team down badly. The big question will be IrinaThunder, sub mid-laner. Despite the little sample size she looked very good in the few games played. This is the first time the cats are in a vulnerable position having legitimate questions to be poised at them. But I expect them to land on their feet.
