QR1 Power Rankings
Hello ladies and gentlemen, I am Paris and I am here to give you a report fresh from the MWC broadcasting network. Power Rankings are a list of the 10 MWC teams broken down in a #1 through #10 ranking, usually with interesting comments (biased or not) and factoids included about each team. The rankings are nothing official. I am here to bring you those power rankings.
#10 Deer
Deer played an unoffical match against WTC last weekend on Mariusnet, with WTC fielding 2 players and Deer fielding more. They ended up losing that match, 3-2. They need to replay that match, but losing a match to two players does not bode well for them, and neither does lacking the ability to save films. This is why they are ranked last.
Last Match: 2-3 Unoffical Loss to WTC
This is considered graphic porn in Australia.
#9 The Blades
Last week the Blades shocked the MWC world as they showed up for their first match. However, they showed up undermanned and against a determined ULMS squad. They are last in the Power Rankings but could easily skyrocket up with some firepower, as they have the easiest QR schedule compared to all other teams.
Last Match: 4 Losses and 1 Tie to ULMS.
This team is not as scary as depicted above.
#8 Wu Tang Clan
Fielding 2 players last week, WTC was able to beat DEER 3-2. However, they must replay their match as it was a) hosted on mariusnet while mariusnet is not recording any games on their server/b) the films were deleted. Hopefully when they replay deer they can field more than 2 players, and sweep them. For now, they grab the #8 spot. Not much to talk about with a team having the worst turn out in the tournament thus far, I hope they get it together.
Last Match: 3-2 Unoffical Win to WTC
Wait, hold up, chill, what's that son?

#7 ULMS
Not being able to sweep the Blades isn't the best way to start off MWC, as many would have liked to see ULMS do so. They the #1 Power Ranked team next week, ZOMG. If ZOMG uses the father xmas strtegy to their advantage, they might be facing serious problems. They must keep their head up next week, they might not expect to win the match but they should try their hardest to take some games against a tougher opponent. Look for KillerKing to step up this weekend, his play and awareness will be very important.
Last Match : 4 Wins and a Tie vs ULMS
Graphs are my favorite part of articles, first used effectively by the one and only, best father in all of myth (sorry grim, zer and tirri) tainted bliss.
#6 Devils Rejects
Devils Rejects lost a close match against Tcox last week, and four TCOX players are now on the top10 DMG Ratio leader board. BC prowess may be an issue for this team, but if they can use their heads effectively they may be able to out think their opponents for victory. They need to get their attendence up, especially with some of their better players, if they are looking to advance with a good QR seed. With their biggest threat in the qualifying rounds out of the way, the devils rejects look to play WTC before taking on The Blades. Good attendence the next two week seems to be the most important key for these guys.
Last Match : 2 Wins and a Loss vs Tcox

#5 TMNT
The turtles have lost their first match, and against a team that was in a division perceived to be lower than them. They now must play the two other teams from their division, which have considerably stronger rosters. Many would have had the turtles in the top three for power rankings last week, if not the number one spot. Now however, they start the season in the middle of the pack at the 5th spot.
Last Match : 2 Wins and 3 Losses versus ZOMG
These are the turtles that showed up last week; sandy beached turtles, not ninja mutants.
#4 Agents
Agents could be argued to have the #5 spot or #4 over TMNT. However, TMNS is percieved to be better than ZOMG and one of the key players and heart of Agents dropped from 4/4 games with lag issues, leaving Agents at a disadvantage all match. They also did not show up with a full roster, but seem to be focusing on improving consistency in lesson of their match against TMNS.
Last Match : 2 Wins and 3 Losses against TMNS
NeOpolitan adren was far too fast for the agents last weekend, and escaped the Matrix with a close call on the phone call.
#3 Tcox
Tcox didn't have a very strong showing last week in terms of attendance, but their players went into beast mode and all of them finished with a 1.0 k-l ratio or better. They also only had one player fall below a 1.0 damage ratio. Statistically speaking, TCOX is looking very strong. However losing two games to DR, after all their players have amazing (but expected) stats, is not a good sign. Tcox needs to close out matches, and stormrider needs to put some clothes on.
Last Match : 3 Wins and 2 Losses against Devils Rejects

#2 TMNS
TMNS, while expected to be a team having terrible attendence issues, seems to be fairly active in late June fielding a full team for every game against their match against Agents. Should TMNS have the #1 spot? They played a weakened agents team that had a great sub to play for them. Some of their rust buckets could use some oil but I think the squrtiles star power could have flexed a lil more. Their against TCOX will be an important one in consideration for them moving up in rank next week.
Last Match : 3 Wins and 2 Losses against Agents
Above is Zak reacting to this weeks Power Rankings in regards to missing the #1 spot.
#1 ZOMG
People call this the upset team of the week. Anyone noticing a trend of Dantski being apart of Dark Horse teams that have moments of Glory? ZOmg took out their opponents ranked a divsion above them last week, and started off their MWC season in a blaze of passion. Yes, passion. Can ZOMG continue their hot streak against ULMS? The answer is most likely yes, and ZOMG has a good chance at a top seed to exit the qualifying rounds with. Highwired has turned out to be a great pick up with a mysterious identity, and Ghengis has been in my opinion one of the best if not the best player over the past 4 or 5 years.
Last Match : 3 Wins and 2 Losses against TMNT
