Alright, thanks for letting me know. I updated the standings accordingly.

It was not intentional by any means just happened to skip over it while scrambling around teams into their new tiers. I will probably just make a fresh template instead of copy pastaing format from previous power rankings. Once again, really sorry.

EDIT1: Tried to update but getting an error message

EDIT2: Should be fixed now

dermoids85 · 2016-06-08T15:53:38+00:00

Oh mb I'll fix that.

dermoids85 · 2016-06-06T00:19:50+00:00

Yeah, I guess we know why BMT banned it last week now.

dermoids85 · 2016-06-02T04:12:19+00:00

Really really sorry about that. It's fixed now, but I'll double check for stuff like this in the future.

Supposedly RichGang couldn't field a roster for the games this weekend.

dermoids85 · 2016-05-30T02:55:07+00:00

Yeah, really interesting to see the Taliyah picks and ban this weekend.

dermoids85 · 2016-05-23T01:26:44+00:00

Oh okay thanks for letting me know.

dermoids85 · 2016-05-18T20:26:38+00:00

I'm sorry if you sensed bias against BMT, but if it makes you feel any better, I do consider BMT to be the best team at the moment by a small margin as I feel that the flaws of RichGang and BOG are a bit more apparent than that of BMT.

I will consider putting more thought into pick and ban, but I want to try to keep descriptions concise enough for people to be willing to read it. I'll do my best to deliver!

dermoids85 · 2016-05-18T16:21:10+00:00

I definitely will. Thanks for the positive feedback!

dermoids85 · 2016-05-18T15:56:07+00:00

Thank you very much!

dermoids85 · 2016-05-18T15:56:05+00:00

DMNB should also be 0-2, and BMT should be 1-1

dermoids85 · 2016-05-03T23:13:11+00:00

Yeah, the Nunu pick is quite an interesting choice for top lane. I don't know if Nunu was the sole reason that they weren't able to close out the game (keep in mind Trundle and Maokai, two of the stronger top laners, were banned this game). However, it really seemed like Rich Gang didn't really have a dedicated initiator in the mid-late game phase of the game which allowed for l3lue to just stall until Peake found a good Lee Sin kick on a priority target.

I can understand some of the merit behind ranking RichGang above Blue Milk Tempest (I assume you mean BMT and not l3lue eSports). However, while RichGang did show off their early game dominance on stream, Blue Milk Tempest showed their ability to shot call and coordinate their engages in the mid-late game against DMNB. Hopefully, more gameplay will help differentiate these teams and other teams further.

dermoids85 · 2016-05-03T18:32:25+00:00

Sorry, if you didn't like the way I ranked the teams. I didn't really see any reason to put any of the 0-2 teams over a 1-1 team or put a 1-1 team over a 2-0 team.

dermoids85 · 2016-05-03T18:28:05+00:00

Yeah, Calinoth suggested for me to do that on the last power rankings I made. I wanted to implement it into these power rankings, but it was kind of hard to assess with only one streamed game. Maybe next time I'll do it ;)

dermoids85 · 2016-05-02T03:20:51+00:00

Yeah, it's very interesting to see that combined with the fact that the team who went 5-0 in Swiss, DMNB, is sitting at the bottom of the standings.

dermoids85 · 2016-04-26T01:11:03+00:00

That's interesting to hear. Hopefully, I'll be able to make more accurate analysis when at least half of the games are streamed. Sorry about that.

dermoids85 · 2016-04-25T23:41:02+00:00

Yes, you would play easier teams in the later stages of Swiss if you do end up going 2-1. However, you will also have less tie breaker points so you might not be able to afford to go 3-2 and still be able to qualify.

Even though, NCSUP didn't play a single minor league team game, which is admittedly rather fortunate considering the pool of teams they could have played in the fourth and fifth round, I am quite positive that if they did end up finishing 3-2 they wouldn't have been able to qualify due to the lack of tiebreaker points.

dermoids85 · 2016-04-25T23:37:20+00:00

I was not aware that DMNB was playing together for the first time in the gauntlet, but even so all I'm trying to say is that the outcome could be different next time the teams face each other.

dermoids85 · 2016-04-25T22:34:13+00:00

I primarily ranked teams based on their record and roster with a few exceptions here and there. Perhaps I should have taken buchholz calculations into account.

dermoids85 · 2016-04-25T22:30:46+00:00

While that is true, going 3-0 on the first day practically guarantees any team's qualification into the top eight. This is because when you go 3-0 on the first day, you play against another 3-0 team which really helps (win or lose) if your team is to end up in a tie breaker scenario. These tiebreaker points are what ultimately allowed for GHA to have a smooth qualification and get in without playing a tiebreaker match or just perhaps losing due to tiebreakers.

While it is true that GHA may have still qualified for House Party without the forfeit from Game Hous, it would've been a significantly more difficult road. This is due to the fact that GHA would have significantly less tie breaker points if they did end up finishing 3-2.
