Last week I asked if we were getting a clearer picture of the top four teams and this week three of the top four teams lost, which I think shows just how many good teams there are and that there isn't a lot of distance between many of them. It's always exciting seeing things get shaken up and this past week definitely did just that. 1. Team Rank Five (last week 4) – 1st Orange – 54 pts We got a glimpse of what TR5 is capable of last week against Archon Storm and with Mainge in the fold now we really witnessed their strength as they took down Entropy 20-4. With all of the teams above them stumbling this past week and their performance over the last two weeks, crowning them as the new number one seemed like an easy decision. Looking at their roster there are no weaknesses and taking them down will be tough but now the target on their back is even larger. 2. The Hairy Generals (last week 5) – t-1st Blue – 52 ptsThe Hairy Generals also took advantage of the previous top three streams struggling and slide into the number two ranking. The Generals put in an impressive performance over a previously undefeated Xnergy team and are now the only team without a loss, with the one blemish on their record being a tie that likely would have been a win if not for a forfeit. The addition of Markshire has given them a really strong three to pair with one of the league's best fives in Detrucci (now a four), neither of whom has lost a match this season. 3. Pure Strategy (last week 6) – 1st Green – 50 ptsWeek three had Pure Strategy lining up against the number one ranked team Soupreme, an unenviable task for any team in THL, but they didn't back down and handed Soupreme their first loss of the season. b0rck and ApplSaucFactory were huge this week, picking up sweeps over their opponents, but Pure Strategy also contested Soupreme's strength with YurYuri taking down DeerJason 3-2 and Hambowen taking Cheesee10 to game five but losing 2-3.

Welcome back to another edition of What Would You Do? Where we cover the toughest decision making of the weekend, along with some heartbreak and tears from THL's official event - Salty Saturday! First off a huge congratulations to Jedi Ninja for his Newborn Baby Girl! This week we are going back to basic game fundamentals. This is a good chance for the stronger Hearthstone players to teach some of the lower seeds why we would play certain things over others and also perhaps teach them sequencing within a turn. As always, our rules:
