FHDL WEEK 2 POWER RANKINGS
I had no idea when I would be ready to write this. Part of me thought it would be early on, when I was still really feeling the
ok go
12. The Little Pogchamps (Princess) (0–2) LW: 12
Trash team. 0–10 incoming.
11B. i swear im going to disband (Cats) (0–2) LW: 11
Put up an okay performance week one despite a standin for one of the games. Should take some teamfights off Nick team in week 2, but also should reconsider renaming the team.
11A. Dotally Handicapped (Nick) (0–2) LW: 10
Looked solid enough in week one to win games versus lower teams. Leaning into the cheese = always a good sign.
9. $690 Worth of Dota (Harbinger) (0–2) LW: 4
Harbinger is in a rough spot. Either he goes back to carry and proves everyone right that said he would, or he stays mid and ruins his safelaner’s game anyways. Tough call.
8. No Earth Spirit (Cryptic) (1–1) LW: 5
Some wild games for Luth vs Cryptic followed by strong performances by other teams puts Cryptic a bit lower compared to original ranking. Having to play a strong Slizeey team in round 2 can push this team up a lot if they perform well.
7. Tree’s Personal Harem (Brent) (0–2) LW: 8
Putting a 0–2 team over a 1–1 team might seem a big sketchy, which it is, but Brent team took Yumi to a long g1 and a 20k lead before spiraling out of control and losing that game and game two as well. With a clean slate, they should easily knock out Princess team and bring their record back to even.
6. Luthuania (Luth) (1–1) LW: 7
Luth team was a pleasant surprise versus Cryptic in week one, and should continue that by playing versus Harbinger team in week two. Luth will continue to have weird picks and dangerous leads, but even getting to that point means they are stronger than other teams.
5. Boss Doss (Barrel) (2–0) LW: 9
The lowest of the 2–0 teams, but also the most surprising. While they caught a role-questioning Harbinger team off-guard, I am not sure the same will happen to a Yumi team looking to make a statement.
4. GREEFER MADNESS (Maniac) (2–0) LW: 6
Maniac and acquaintances pulled off the 2–0 and now set their sights on a strong Yop team in week two. The matchup of the week should live up to the hype.
3. Selemene Simps (Yumi) (2–0) LW: 2
Simps drop a spot here due to their long game one against a team I have previously ranked lower. I know they baited out the Yumi TB pick and ultimately got punished for it, but the long game makes me pause compared to the next two teams.
2. Catalytic Converters (Yop) (2–0) LW: 3
Two clean dominating wins by the Yop team put them above Yumi and into the number two spot. It will be interesting to see how they play this week.
.1. Regular Team (Slizeey) (2–0) LW: 1
Combining a week 1 stomp over Princess with being the only 2–0 team to play a 1–1 team means Slizeey should have a clean 4–0 start after this week. Pick Clare OD again thanks.
