Records and MVPs

by Deerjason

One of THL's top Hearthstone minds, Deerjason, runs down the final league standings as ranked by record. He also gives his pick for each team's MVP.

The Hairy Generals: 6 - 0 - 1 (Tied Those Filthy Roleplayers)
MVP: Markshire is currently one of two undefeated players in THL. One thing to note is that this top player is in the three seed, which may explain why he's undefeated.

Entropy: 5 - 2 - 0 (Losses from Noob Central & Team Rank 5)
MVP: In Week 2's Tavern Talk Jaxox stated how he doesn't play like a fifth seed. He was right, playing like a sixth by losing two straight weeks. The curse wore off in week 3 as those were the only two losses with the five seed falling under his drunken reign. With the playoffs starting and a Tavern Talk tonight, Jaxox hopes he won't jinx it again.

Soupreme:  5 - 2 - 0 (Loss from Pure Strategy, Loss from The Hairy Generals)
MVP: Cheesee10, along with Markshire, are the sole undefeated players in THL. In week 3, Cheesee replaced Deerjason as Soupreme's one seed. That didn't stop him from continuing his winning ways. Cheesee10 is currently the front runner in the race for THL MVP.

Team Rank 5: 5 - 2 - 0 (Losses from The Dream Team & The Super Heroes)
MVP: In the preseason, many people identified JesusC as the weak spot on Team Rank 5. He proved us all wrong. With his sole loss being against Iamplanb, he's in the thick of THL's MVP race.

The Gosu Casuals: 4 - 2 - 1 (Tied Top Deck Kings, Losses from Soupreme & The Hairy Generals)
MVP: Slimsch has managed to prove beyond ends why he was the season 1 league MVP. Rebounding from a slight hiccup in week 1, Slimsch rose to new heights, taking on the tall order of defeating towering tier one opponents week after week.

Those Filthy Roleplayers: 4 - 2 - 1 (Tied The Hairy Generals, Loss from Soupreme, Loss from The Gosu Casuals)
MVP: Alexstrasza had a rough start, with back-to-back losses in week 1 and 2. However, he didn't let that drag on his determination. He hasn't dropped a match since his first two, showing how anyone can overcome the newcomer virus.

Noob Central: 3 - 3 - 1 (Tied Archon Storm, Won against Entropy, Boom Squad, & The Super Heroes)
MVP: Kuthroat has only one loss this season, proving why he's in the thick of the league MVP race. His success places Noob Central in a highly contested second playoff spot in the Orange Division.

Archon Storm: 3 - 3 - 1 (Tied Noob Central, Losses from Team Rank 5 & Boom Squad)
MVP: The sole new member of Archon Storm has clearly made a name for himself. With only one played loss under his belt, Gideoneko has shown that he's one of the best, if not the best, four seeds in the league. He did, however, forget to submit his classes for the rivalry match-up, which will probably take him out of the league MVP discussion.

Boom Squad: 3 - 4 - 0 (Losses from Entropy, Continuum, Noob Central, & Team Rank 5)
MVP: The 3-3 record from DannyWu may not look all that extraordinary, but the Boom Squad had a tough schedule this season. Even with only DannyWu delivering a non-losing record, Boom Squad still managed to shake fear into their opponents and entered week 7 still in the playoff hunt.

The Super Heroes: 3 - 4 - 0 (Won against Continuum, The Dream Team, & Team Rank 5)
MVP: MonkeyWarlord has had an exceptional season so far, ending with only two losses. In week 2, he replaced IamplanB, moving up to a four seed. That didn't stop him from winning against higher PR opponents week after week.

Continuum: 3 - 4 - 0 (Losses from The Super Heroes, Team Rank 5, Archon Storm, & Entropy)
MVP: Adidas has been stomping everyone this season, even after moving up to the one seed. Adidas is also the only person that managed to beat Kuthroat, showing that he can beat anyone in this league.

Pure Strategy: 3 - 4 - 0 (Won against Top Deck Kings, Soupreme, & Xnergy)
MVP: If ApplSaucFactory's success in any way correlates to his pulped fruit output, he'd be a happy sauce tycoon. Only two losses ... now that's a feat no one could've imagined from this rising star.

The Dream Team: 2 - 5 - 0 (Won against Team Rank 5 & Noob Central)
MVP: This fishy delight has everyone wanting more ... of defeat, that is. SmokedSalmon has been wrecking everyone he faces, shown by a  5-2 record. Deadly but delicious.

Xnergy: 2 - 5 - 0 (Won against Team Golden Wisp & Top Deck Kings)
MVP: Xnergy's lackluster season has shown many holes in their lineup except in their fifth seed. With a 3-3 record, DiAmonD has shown improvement and his full potential is ever growing. It will be interesting to see how he does next season.

Team Golden Wisp: 2 - 5 - 0 (Won against Pure Strategy & Top Deck Kings)
MVP: Possibly the most improved player in THL, Chef Sasha has shown that he has skills not only in cooking, but also in Hearthstone. His 5-2 record shows a shining star in an underperforming Team Golden Wisp. Keep on brewing those crazy   decks!

Top Deck Kings: 0 - 6 - 1 (Tied The Gosu Casuals)
MVP: With a 4-3 record, JuiceJones represents a possible shining star in future seasons for what most people agree is the most underperforming team in the league.


Notes:

• Everyone in THL has a bias for or against all teams in THL. This list helps remove this bias in a quest to more accurately place teams based on their win/loss/tie record and their skill level.
• Tiebreakers are decided based on head-to-head, teams faced, and total points collected thus far.
• Several teams on this list's perceived win/loss/tie ratio is completely different than their actual ratio.
• Under this system, the most balanced division is the Orange Division and the least balanced is the Blue Division.
