EST-SUN Power Rankings

Week 2

Top Tier

Pishtya (4–0) — Should know after this week how legit this team really is after their match against Logical. Might not have the most “star power” but definitely one of the most, if not the most, well rounded team.
Logical (4–0) — Logical continues to dominate from the safelane. Very top heavy team in my opinion, but potentially the best tricore in the division.
Sasquatch (4–0) — Sasquatch and his draft full of value, low-ish mmr players continue to do well. Absolute nightmare to prepare for as they lane swap and role swap almost every game and Sasquatch is capable of playing almost every hero at an elite level.

Very Good Tier

Lala Time (4–0) — Winner of the matchup between this team and CC team will move up to top tier next week. Not quite as confident in this team as I am in the previous 3, but still a very good team. I’m a believer as long as Lala continues to play at an extremely high level.
CC (4–0) — Like Lala team, this team is very close to the top tier. 2 good wins against playoff teams in my opinion in Reedy and Rusy. ActionJackson has played very well in his return to dota and if he and Alc can continue to mesh this team should be a playoff lock.
Matieu (3–1) — Split a very close series with Mu team last week. Dropped a bit in my rankings due to that, but still a very well rounded team and a bit of a friend stack to add to that.
Mu (3–1) — Longoria continues to perform as well as when he was actively playing dota as Mu continues to draft beta midlaners.

Good Tier

Ecl9ipse (4–0) — Lowest 4–0 team in these rankings, but got a 2–0 FF win in week 1 against a (in my opinion) very good FrenZyy team. My only issue with this team is there might not be a player to carry their team late game if skkip gets shut down or is having an off game.
Dark (2–2) — Ran into a very good Sasquatch team week 2 and replaced their pos 1 Elk with pos 4 LTH. Probably a downgrade in an rd2l sense where pos 1/2 have the highest impact, but LTH is the better dota player and is good friends with dark+SSD, so most likely will be an upgrade overall.
Econ (3–1) — The Double King+Miyushi lane continues to dominate and Stang continues to hang with players much higher in mmr. This team should continue to climb in rankings and stay taking games off teams.
thamaestro (2–2) — Trex+thamaestro combine to be one of the better 1/2 combos in the league in my opinion as well as resident est-sun brit, bear continuing to give safelaners the claws this season.
FrenZyy (2–2) — Unfortunately fell to 0–2 off a forfeit loss in week 1, but I still have faith in the FrenZyy-Kende-Agile tricore even if they have cringewolf weighing them down.
USDanny (2–2) — Had the misfortune of running into a brick wall this past weekend in the form of the Logical stack, but should have a nice bounce back this weekend unless they get Aqua Roaded. Rice boi continues to play as expected despite some giga virg hero picks and Martin has been a nice surprise this season putting in some big games on pos. 1.
Rusy (2–2) — Got back on track this past week with a 2–0 after a bit of a throw week 1 against a very good CC team. Rusy is still a 7k player which will keep them in every game they play and Remster is capable of playing much higher than his badge (or much lower).

Above Average Tier

ColonelSquid (3–1) — Give me 1 more week playing against the best in the division before I move this team into the top few tiers. Still should be a lock for playoffs regardless. Been really impressed with the support duo of Spacedude and wetpaint this so far.
BobbyPMA(3–1) — Read above. Noobish slowly turning into one of the most value picks in the entire draft, climbing to mid divine already.
Envi (2–2) — I still think this team is solid and will continue to play above their badges due to their familiarity with eachother, but they got taken behind the woodshed and beaten with a belt by Pishtya team last week. Should be up for a close series this week with agony team.
doss (2–2) — The immortal tricore’s been solid this season, but hasn’t been able to fully put together a complete series. Should have a good match against a surging Fume team this week.
DJ Dingus (2–2) — Ran into a very good Lala team last week and are stuck facing a very good Iceyeti team this week. Should be a good measuring stick to see where this team really is.
Iceyeti (2–2) — Izumi’s played as well as any midlaner so far this season despite not being one of the highest mmr mids. Clean+yeti have been solid per usual as well.
7EMPEST (2–2) — Master pos. 4 has been solid so far this season. Alpaca continues to be one of the best players in the division. Will be a good measuring stick series this season against Dark team this week.
INSANE CORNDOG (2–2) — This team has no glaring weakness and is full of nice pma boomers. Might have some problems this season if they fall behind post laning phase and need a big 1v5 performance out of one of their cores.

Average Tier

W.Stealer (2–2) — The friend stack is going to be looking for a bounce back this week after a 0–2 to Ecl9ipse team last week. Will be interesting to see if the power of friendship can overcome the power of mmr as they play Rusy team this week.
agony (2–2) — Teams been middle of the pack so far this season. Has the skill and the players to move up into the higher tiers though. Should be a close match against fellow friend stack Envi team this weekend.
Reedy (2–2) — Ran into CC team last week and while Sonnegod is having himself a ridiculous season so far, subject is doing subject things and putting up subject kda’s this season.
Kira (2–2) — Kira team has been taking games off really good teams in my opinion this season. Aqua road has been tanking several bans every game and still putting in monster performances.
Wizard of Chaos (2–2) — Look for them to move into a higher tier soon. I think they will dominate the lower end teams in the division, but struggle when they face some of the better teams as they did week 1 against the USDanny stack.
Fume (2–2) — Already looking like the comeback team of the season after only 2 weeks. Sounds like a bit of an exaggeration, but they seemed to be on the brink of disbanding. Fume it sounds like has finally understood how to put his team in the position to win, specifically what to pick his supports.
Brightside (1–3) — Lost a very close game 1 last week to BobbyPMA team then kind of just fell apart game 2. Drew a tough matchup in the Captain Pepega team as Brightside will have to try to nullify Wax this week.
Captain Pepega (1–3) — Have a tough matchup with Brightside team this week, but is looking like one of the best 1–3 teams so far this season.
Quantum Jojo (2–2) — Freightrain looked absolutely dominant this past week in game 1, but the team took a step back and lost game 2 to keep even at 2–2.
Bestpinoza (1–3) — Will be hard for me to put my boy apex in a lower end tier of my rankings. Had a bit of a throw this last week in game 1 that prevented them from being 2–2, and drew a really tough goatsatan team this week.

I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed Tier

Goatsatan (1–3) — I think this team is really good and can still make a good run at playoffs, but at sitting at 1–3 with a tough bestpinoza team this week. FooSquash+BuyingOnions are a great combo and should be able to carry any team to playoffs.
Sebastian (0–4) — Probably the most unlucky team I’ve seen when it comes to drawing really good opponents and that continues this week as they drew AcidRain team who manages to win every game except officials.
AcidRain (0–4) — The best team in EST-SUN 24 hours of every day for 6 days a week. Unfortunately, from the hours of 5 pm to 10 pm Sunday they collectively shit their diapers and lose their officials despite winning every scrim. I didn’t take the draft cup too much into consideration when making these rankings, but tough to ignore them going a perfect 4–0.

Below Average Tier

DrSteel (2–2) — Still not a fan. Will be interesting if the Snow+Hullcity offlane can shut down or at least slow down Sonnegod this week.
bearcat0611 (2–2) — Beat up on Tiramisu team this past week which is looking more and more like a near FF win. Will know more about this team after this week as they take on the Wizard of Chaos team.
Voldrox (1–3) — Definitely fell too far in these rankings from last week. Still have faith in this team and they can definitely move up in these rankings especially when they face fellow 1–3 Clamburglar team this weekend.
The Clamburglar (1–3) — Won a super long game against goatsatan team this last week. Perhaps starting to find their groove as a team as I rate goatsatan team quite highly and they played them extremely well last week.
avgpeen (0–4) — Vinny keeps putting in super good performances, but the rest of the team has been shaky so far this season. If Vinny keeps performing the way he has, they will be able to take some games off the lower end competition of the division.
Calamity (0–4) — Has had a pretty tough string of games so far, but will know more about them as their competition starts to more reflect their record.

Disband Tier

BMTS (0–4) — By far the furthest drop in rankings, but this is mostly due to Poonani leaving the team after last week. Will be unsure if the team continues after this week, but I still think this team can be a playoff team if they mesh well with their standin.
Tiramisu (0–4) — Has had an unfortunate season thus far. Bambino has played really well, but the production out of the rest of the team has been lacking thus far.

Trav2s Tier

Trav2s (3–1) — My team has yet to pick me jungle venomancer. Dumb cucks. On the real though felt there has been a lack of production out of the offlane duo of Ghost and Trav2s in their games so far. Mirage has been playing at an insanely high level and Jerracabra has had some extremely solid performances so far, but can be a bit hot and cold.
