IntroductionPLAYOFFS BAYBEE!!! DISCLAIMER: Only the players and teams that made playoffs are being featured in this power ranking report. As a reminder, we use internal data calculated into a formula called PAR to create these rankings. PAR calculates data such as win/loss, game win rates, and strength of schedule. If you would like to read more about how this is calculated, read the blog that Marty wrote explaining how it all works! Each week we will be updating you on how these players and teams shift throughout their respective series, as well as highlighting individuals and their journeys. Legacy Oh boy, it’s playoff prediction time! Before going there, however, I want to congratulate everyone who made it onto the players list. We had only 2 perfect seasons from Supersenter and Overloaded. In fact, they both had the exact same game record of 21-4 as well. Who will win MVP? Tune in to the awards show in a month to find out! (or do the math yourself). Besides those two players, the rest of the list is filled with 6-1 or 5-1 seasons; these are incredible performances as well, so a well deserved congrats to everyone there. As for our teams, we have another set of strong seasons from everyone involved here. While this list shows only the playoff contenders, these 8 teams are in the actual top 9 of PAR. Now, it’s time for my spicy and totally unbiased playoff predictions! Quarterfinals: I’m NOT a Legacy 3 Seed :) > ET C’Thun F2L: White > Defias BILL BILL BILL > Nirilì Narilà Story of Scorpius > The Justining These actually aren’t that spicy at all. Two of these matchups have already happened, with the NOT 3 seeds and Story taking solid victories over their opponents, so I’ll take good odds that it repeats. BILL BILL BILL has literally won every match all season and includes many components from last year’s championship team, so I don’t think I can write them off. The F2L: White and Defias match was the hardest for me to decide, and I believe that it is going to be insanely close. But Defias is the only team that beat my team and I need to rig this bracket to give valid reasons for my team to win every week, so… Semifinals: I’m NOT a Legacy 3 Seed :) > F2L: White BILL BILL BILL > Story of Scorpius Look at that, the NOT 3 Seeds are facing a new team, surely they win! BILL BILL BILL keeps winning probably, no commentary here, just trust me bro. Finals: I’m NOT a Legacy 3 Seed :) > BILL BILL BILL Again, no real commentary from me, but like I said earlier, these predictions are very unbiased and any unbiased bystander would say that my team is the bestest team so sorry. Anyway, I do believe that every team in the playoffs is strong and has the potential to go all the way. I’m looking forward to seeing how all these matchups actually play out, and cheers to all the playoff participants! -EPICat Hero The playoffs have arrived with the top 6 teams in Hero qualifying. Aristocratic Mountain got a clean win vs their APM counterparts week 7 giving them the top spot in our rankings along with a bye the first week of playoffs. Unseen OP also Managed to secure a bye thanks to wins by Chair42, and PROBIwan giving them the edge over Defiance. SI:7, ET Y’Shaarj, and Last Minute Team each had a bye last week, expect them to come in rested and swinging. Only 2 points separate the teams playing at the start of this week. With #6 SI:7 vs #3 Defy Us, and #4 ET Y’Shaarj vs #5 Last Minute Team. NotBamity is in the #1 spot in our player rankings with their week 7 win giving Defy Us just enough points to match the 60 point threshold. Supersenter and freshmastafunk are right behind NotBamity in the MVP race with only 4 players with 5 wins going into this week ;) The championship race is on and it's truly anyone's to take with no clear favorites, good luck to all the teams involved! -JudoChop Pro As we head into playoffs we will highlight the teams and players who have made it far and are still in the running for the banner. The biggest shakeup teamwise is BrushyTuna is no longer the number 1 team in the rankings despite being there all season and winning their matchup last week. Instead, Mid Zoom Crisis takes the top spot after a quality victory against Unidentified Pet Tracking, sending them to the third spot in the Pink conference, which lead to Cheese Mongers United to be no. 3 overall and no. 2 in the conference. Krogassic Park won their crucial matchup against playoff contender Washed Up to sneak past behind F2L to take the no. 2 spot in Black Conference. Individually, the top three spots remained unchanged and due to former No. 6 Jagatari’s team Hearthstone Queens not making it to playoffs, the only new edition to the top 10 is UPT’s Alex who sneaks in at the number 10 spot. Former No. 4 Memnarch’s loss to Raimiat of CardCrafters bumps them down to No. 7 while the rest of the top nine remain the same order wise.

introductionDOUBLE WEEK BAYBEE!!! As a reminder, we use internal data calculated into a formula called PAR to create these rankings. PAR calculates data such as win/loss, game win rates, and strength of schedule. If you would like to read more about how this is calculated, read the blog that Marty wrote explaining how it all works! Each week we will be updating you on how these players and teams shift throughout their respective series, as well as highlighting individuals and their journeys. legacy Final regular season week is here! I’ll be at the race to make playoffs; it’s especially close because of the two wild card spots left open. First off, in the gold conference! BILL BILL BILL holds a comfortable lead over their whole conference and have a spot clinched. F2L: White is also very likely to make the playoffs, but go head to head against Gold’s third place team, 7 Mile Spanking Machine. If 7 Mile can win every match and hold F2L to 6 points or less, they can snipe the spot. It’s very unlikely, however, as even a single match win clinches the 2nd seed for F2L. In the silver conference, these margins become much tighter. The Justining remains in first, but only 5 points over TFCAOTN. To compete with them, The Story of Scorpius and Big W Esports are also both close behind. Justins and TFCAOTN face off, and Scorpious and Big W also do, so there is real potential for some seed swaps to occur in this final week. A big win from Scorpius and a close match between the current top seeds could vault them into the conference’s top seed, one of many outcomes that could happen. Next, of course, is the Red Conference. I’m NOT a Legacy 3 Seed :) and Nirilì Narilà currently hold the top two spots and the 2nd and 3rd place on this PAR podium, and also face each other this week. ET C’Thun and Defias are tied at 93 points for Red’s third place spot. While the gaps here are a little larger, there still is potential for either ET C’Thun or Defias to sneak into one of Red’s playoff spots. Finally, of course, are the wild cards. If the season were to end at this very moment, they would both go to teams in Red (ET C’Thun and Defias). In fact, both of these teams have more points then the 2nd place team in Silver. While they currently hold the lead, there still are teams in the silver race that can catch them. Defias and ET C’Thun face each other this week, so a lopsided win from either side could flip the other team out of the race. We’ll see how it ends up after the double week! I don’t want to forget our players, either. Overloaded has moved into the 1st place spot with their 6-0 record, and Supersenter moves up into the 3rd with the same. Lulnenko, at 5-1, also sneaks their way into the top 3. As for our MVP race, it is currently led by the 2 6-0 players. Even more impressively, these two players have lost barely any games all season, with Supersenter leading at 18-2 and Overloaded close behind at 18-4. If they were both to lose, tee3cat is our only other undefeated player currently in the running. If all 3 of them were to lose then the MVP trophy is anyone’s for the taking! Of course, we’ll have to wait for the awards show to really know who gets the prize … Good luck to everyone in playoffs, and thanks for reading! -EPICat hero There are currently 3 teams sitting above 60 points going into this week and only one of them managed to get a win in week 6. SI:7 was knocked off the podium by It/She Sweaters, and ET ‘ YShaarj managed to pull one point above Last Minute Team in a critical win putting them #3 in our Rankings.The three 60+ point teams have byes this week so their points are final. APM’s top performing teams Aristocratic Mountain and Ashalon’s Mountain have climbed to the #1 and #2 spots on the rankings. They face off this week each looking to clinch a top seed for playoffs along with Unseen OP. I’m not sure if mathematically we have our top 6 but I'm bad at maths. Geranium Battle is typically my goto for playoff birth questions… ask him. We have some new faces in the player department, LuluMK1 knocked henry off the ranking taking a spot for themselves. WalkerMan, managed to knock EpiCat down a few notches at a critical point in this season where every point matters, and CmaccoompH just made the #10 spot by winning a close match vs Saltman Supersenter had the biggest jump this week into the #3 spot, NotBamity continues their love affair with the PAR formula taking the #1 spot. Notable mention to freshmastafunk in the 3 seed for being the only 5-1 player going in to week 7 in the #2 spot. Not one Hero player is undefeated so we’ll see who else can achieve a 5-1 record this week in attempts to carry their team to the playoffs. WHO ELSE IS EXCITED?! -JudoChop Pro Going into the final week of THL we are slowly starting to see standings finalize but there is still one week left to see a potential shakeup or not. The biggest shakeup this week teamwise is No. 6 CardCrafters, who handed No. 2 Mid Zoom Crisis their second loss in a row to enter at 6th place and have outside chances to make the playoffs. No. 3 and Unidentified Pet Tracking and No. 4 F2L swap spots after F2L got upsetted by No. 9 ET Yogg-Saron. Similar to Card Crafters, ET Yogg-Saron have outside chances to make playoffs as the 5th place team of their conference where the no. 3 and no. 4 of Black conferences are playing each other. Individually, No. 6 Jagatari, who has been No. 1 for 3 weeks in a row has been toppled after a 1-3 loss to No. 4 Memnarch of Cheese Mongers United. The other big upset in the top 10 is No. 10 Dagda, formerly ranked No. 6, also lost 1-3 to nedkek of ET Yogg-Saron. No. 5 EPICat makes the biggest jump in rankings defeating former top 10 Sp1n3 in a nail-biter 3-2.
