ya sen havent even looked bad or anything
the eg loss is a disaster but shit happens tbh i think they job doned too early and got a bit shellshocked, it might keep them out of playoffs which is unfortunate but i dont think it should be judged harshly, teams still gaming in a major way
sadly brazilians hate keznit
also does he speak portuguese? hes played on chilean teams his whole career hasnt he?
purely based on how theyve played during split 1 i dont want to hear shit about loud or sen being too low
only ranking the 9 tier 1 teams btw
this is about to age very badly if loud beat kru lol
hes fucking owning its insane, im blown away rn
g2 has not impressed me in the remotest sense at any point this season but leaf is frying 16 ways from sunday
why the gentle mates hate man do u not want to see phoenix on every map?
as expected, hes very good at the video game
excited to see how he stacks up against us next week
i didnt say he was insane for it im just saying he can entry lol
didnt he go 12-2 on FBs against loud
i havent heard very many people do it ya
only one i can remember specifically is someone on nrg naming less in a callout
pretty sure ive heard a couple others tho
the way nzr got dropped from lev, there was fs beef between him and at least mazino
loud were shooting mazinos body an shit
wait i just rewatched ur right LMAO
he must have just picked the wrong way to go lolol thats wild
ok chill he would have died to mazinos ult if he didnt die to his own
you wouldnt, but hes not a "step under" any of them(beside demon1 probably when hes not playing like that game just now LMFAO) hes def on par with marved skill wise
step under?? bro he was the highest rated controller in americas last season you underestimate how good mans is
3v5 to 3v1 to losing round im dead bro LMFAOOOOOOOO
who tf let jessievash fry this hard
wait wtf i didnt even realize we were on map 2 LMAO
holy essay bruh nobodys reading all this shit
i have just always understood "power ranking" and "team ranking" to be two different things and based on the "power rankings" i see from like mls posts and people reacting to it(and people reacting to different sports pages when they post power rankings) people usually see it similar to how i do and theres the one guy in the instagram comments section that goes "what?? this sucks! X team should be above Y team because of [reason that assumes the post is a team ranking rather than a power ranking]" and then some other guy ratios the comment with "its a power ranking dumbfuck"
the idea about attachment to words is interesting and my response to that as a guy with a useless 80k english degree is that we use language as our vehicle to communicate, and that communication, that language, is built off a collective understanding of assigned meanings to words so we can all understand the same thing when dan tells the waiter he wants the steak medium rare with a side of fries or when janice and dan make plans at the dinner table to go kayaking the following day, because if we dont have that collective understanding dan gets a soup and salad and shows up to the lake to meet janice carrying a bow and arrow
point is that attachment the only thing holding together how we communicate precise information to other people, so when we use those words differently that communication falls apart
this is why we cant communicate effectively to people that dont speak the same language as us, and while that seems really obvious, the actual mechanics of it are that people that speak english have a collective understanding of how to order a medium rare steak with a side of fries, and that understanding is different to the still collective understanding that is held by people who speak spanish, and they both do not share the collective understanding that people who speak tagalog do for how to order the steak
so i think that we kind of do need to be attached to words in that sense, even though those understandings change and evolve between languages over time and in different societies, we still need some attachment to it because otherwise we are effectively all literally speaking different languages
ive written like 10 different papers on this topic this is the only thing i know.
for what its worth i think everyone else reacting to your post is also doing a ranking based on team quality and not a power ranking in their head
like, kru are 2-0, for a power ranking they should realistically be higher than the 7/8 range
but if its just ranking the teams based on how good they are, yeah they're in that spot most likely
i said "dont call it a power ranking" but im also saying its a power ranking? pick one they cant both exist
also i said if for a reason
your ranking reads more like an actual ranking of team quality adjusted with partiality to recent results
thats not what a power ranking is in my mind and i think the application of the term "power ranking" is just wrong
in a power ranking c9 specifically would be much higher after going 3-0 and beating two theoretically strong teams
but like you have 1 sen 2 nrg which i agree with if youre talking about how good the team is but thats not really what power ranking means
because like for instance, sen lost to lev and nrg havent lost a game yet. if you make a power ranking immediately after that game, sen should not be 1st because they're 1-1 and lost to a team that just took a bad loss(both on paper and in performance lol lev played like ASS against c9 ngl)
ill preface this with i know next to nothing about basketball but im just gonna assume the nuggets are really good(and for this example, im arbitrarily assuming theyre the best in the league) because you used them in your example lol:
if the nuggets lost 5 in a row while being the best in the league, a quality ranking would still put them 1st, and the standings might have them 1st, but a power ranking would not - they would drop several places in a power ranking(or should) off that
that is my issue with your ranking is your ranking is 100x closer to a quality ranking than a power ranking
hope that makes things clear
"read what you are writing" but you claimed i was attacking your "power ranking" for recency bias in my comment
you obviously cant read what im writing if you're saying this nonsense man
what does the quality of loud's play have to do with my comment man
please name one example of this
mb ill email your english teacher and see if they can save your hopeless ass
its exactly the same thing but the rankings are clearly different
you cant see what im saying either evidently
yeah but its extremely reliant on form, power rankings look significantly different to basic team standings
i dont watch basketball so i cant really access this analogy properly but lets say the league last season was 18 games instead of 9 and loud after going 8-1 won their next 4 and lost their final 5, but still finished 1st, by the end of the season they would be ranked below teams that finished slightly below them in the standings(lets say c9 lost one more game than them and finished 2nd, they would probably be above loud in this example)
its not to the extreme end where kru would ever be above loud but c9 is closer to sen than kru was to loud lol
they are literally on a 3 game winning streak against very strong teams
do none of you know what a power ranking is? is this an issue all of you have on this site? we just forget what words mean now?
again, sen are obviously better than c9 and would beat them
c9 are also obviously in better form
fam its a power ranking what is there not to understand about this shit
of course c9 are above sen c9 are literally on a 3 game winning streak
obviously sen would still put c9 in the dirt like dogs, they're the best team in the world rn but c9 are in better form than a team that got 2-0d
"if youre doing a pure ranking it would be sen 1st" lets learn to read sometime this year please!
dogshit comparison man hes leaving them open to being 2nd-4th, saying a top 1 team itw is top 100 is obviously completely different
how do you edit your comment and still not understand what im talking about... youre lost
holy shit you actually cant read thats crazy
im saying you dont know what a power ranking is??? "is this a power ranking or a recency bias ranking, two different things"
a power ranking is ranking teams' form
this is why c9 is second
again, learn what words mean sometime this year PLEASE
"youre pointing my power ranking for being recency biased" im saying u dont know what a power ranking is you braindead fuck it literally says it
hopeless
is this a power ranking or a recency biased ranking
these are two different things
because if we're doing a power ranking c9 are 3rd at minimum and probably 2nd, they're 3-0 and beat lev+loud, and similar goes for kru
if this is a recency bias ranking then dont call it a friggin power ranking, words are not hard lets learn how to use them sometime this year
also if this is a ranking then its still shit lmfao who invited loud to the top 5? they had two weeks off and got absolutely FUCKED, and were not looking remotely good doing it
anyway an actual power ranking goes like:
but if youre doing a pure ranking it looks more like:
any one of coms clutches that bren was casting, every one of them is just the same thing but he manages to give me goosebumps with how he calls it every time
gotcha, in that case lev probably take them to bind right? since nrg havent played it and lev seems at least decent on it
am i misremembering? i assumed nrg permas bind bc theyve literally never played it
zest has always been insane they just finally got mans back on sova where hes more comfy
would love to see them replace retla with someone who can play flash initiator so i dont have to see zest's gekko ever again in my lifetime+i can see his viper again
also retla is lowkey ass
its just the classic community reaction to seeing a player pop off or be popular or whatever
once he fell off over time it got easier to hate and harder to support
theres not really a good reason lol but some people are d1 haters
dont think it was a fluke but dfm just caught t1 off most likely
dfm still need to add layers to their game and the lack of firepower is also a severe issue
but the first one is pretty easy and if they can come up with enough ideas they can compensate decently nicely for the firepower deficiency
i would like to apologize for my earlier statement
i was still right tho they should have done it they just
didnt
idk
