ESEA-IM POWER RANKINGS

1.  Harmonic

scouts – flame/breather
soldiers – blackstar/PYYOUR
demoman – Hoppypotty
medic - seanbud

Two big soldier pickups of BRYAN BLACKSTAR JOHNSON and Chef Brad put these guys at the top, though with flame discovering a natural talent and enthusiasm for SC2 and possibly pursuing a career in the 1v1 bronze league, they may fall apart if he decides to leave TF2.  DUDE PROTOSS IS SO BULLSHIT, THEY GOT THOSE BIG FUCKERS WITH THE FUCKIN EYE LASERS.

2.  subtlety

scouts – yaug/paladin
soldiers – phelon/Phaser (?)
demoman – Experiment (sweater)
medic – dbw (sandy)

yaug: scrim?
MGE daniel: no?
yaug: why not?
MGE daniel: because we arent scrimming?
yaug: you were just looking you filthy fucking virgin noobie. go make some more clips every time you kill something you fucking loser piece of shit faggot

3.  TONY HAWK PRO SKATERS

scouts – oov/BOEN
soldiers – Dave_AC/Gremaud
demoman – Kalkin
medic – slipz

I'm hesitant to list this team because like HX and the gather allstar team 'shift dos', I expect them to die shortly into the season – for THPS, it'll be when Gremaud takes an unexpected trip to Austria and their medic's account is banned when they're forced to use Harbleu to ring and some other low/mid demoman-turned-invite medic (Mythikal?) rats them out.  They should do OK otherwise.

4.  Spacewhales

scouts – moero/Namlay
soldiers – boomer/zbryan
demoman – MPJ
medic – Fel

This team's success pretty much hinges on how well moero plays on any given day.  If I were him I would just hold them hostage and demand all the prize money at the end of the season.  If I were him I would also probably be hoping to drop dead about a week in after hearing eXtine's obnoxious mating call in mumble every day.

5.  eXult

scouts – blaze/Whiteknight
soldiers – Frances/catastrophe
demoman – boulder
medic – Deerhaunter

They've picked up a serious upgrade on scout with Whiteknight, but I feel like this team still probably won't go very far; their replacement for 14-year-old dchow is 15-year-old blaze, and knowing him, they'll probably be leaning on jason to show up so they don't have to play with five every other match.

6.  MIGHTY DUCKS V3

scouts – ricco/ender
soldiers – xep/def
demoman – PUFF
medic – thrill

Like Spacewhales and moero, this team's record will depend almost entirely on when ricco randomly feels like being the best sniper in TF2.  They'll probably put out some decent wins on viaduct and yukon and be pretty mediocre otherwise.

7.  Mobility Eleven

scouts – Infamous/kohaku
soldiers – Bolwind/dchow
demoman – KWAZI
medic – Spacebot Spiff

I don't know anyone that thinks this team is anything but obnoxious faggots.  I'd like to see them get moved up to invite honestly, just so they win absolutely 0 rounds and can't spam their horrible annoying binds like they do when they squeak out 5-4 wins vs. low/mid teams in scrims.

8.  Blight-Everki

scouts – nrage/sg_
soldiers – sting/snypes
demoman – acula
medic – Jensen (nilbert)

I feel bad for acula, because he's a genuinely nice guy surrounded by annoying idiots.  The team used to be known as unR and used to have now-exposed hacker Ametrine rostered – they were smart enough to replace him with sg_, a scout with a VAC ban.  And then of course they're sponsored by blight, which just solidifies their status as a total joke.


Addendum:

Not much about MGE can be said that hasn't been said already. But i'll give you a story to make you realize why they are such faggots. one time I rang with TLR and chupa and droog for two hours just shit talked how blights shady as fuck we arent going to LAN. ehfk same thing trolls me at every chance no wonder he got cut from ESEA admin even lpkane talked bad about him didnt know why at the time. daniel even wanted me to buy him $350 monitor another troll. tend not to laugh thing started from him. that is not our contract me and whiz were sitting in vent pretty obvoius moments after talking to droog this joe guy messages me wanting my contract to scout for us. so gave him a 3-4 month old copy thats really outdated I made for our lawyer to give a basis on before he actually made a nice one. Droog thinks because hes some top open player gives his right to be a troll on the internet and a dick to lower players I know. I feel like hes the type of person that say ahaha nice death to someones facebook after the commit suicide. this is first time ive EVER said anything bad about him mind you.
