Week 4 Predictions

TTM 2-0 Elysium

I mean, TTM is on a hot streak and dominating the charts, whereas I could flip a coin and it be Elysium's performance that day. I expect TTM to clean house.

WLS 2-1 Akuma

I'm kinda blind on this one as Akuma likes to shoot itself in the foot more than it does win, but they're still a powerhouse team when they decide to be. Soulbert performed well against TTM and Khan so I expect a very close match.

Brads 2-1 Khan

Look. Khan has absolutely earned their spot in the top 2-3, but Brads have earned their spot in my heart. (I kinda wanna watch this on a stream)

AOW 2-1 Pea

The battle of the...teams! I think that the peas are spending too long steaming in the hot seat so they'll lose to the finesse of Sun Tzu.

Playoff Predictions

...because, why not? Based on current play and future opponents

1. TTM

2. Brads

3. Khan

4. Soulbert

5. Elysium

6. Akuma

7. AoW

8. Pea

Based on...me

Top

As a jungler, I don't really know much about top lane. ;) I also kinda think the stat lines speak for themselves and I really don't disagree with the rankings that follow them. So no changes.

1. Sir Raven

2. Vaulter

3. Toomy

4. Night Ravens

5. Synarc

Jungle

1. Echko- Between Hwasal and Echko, I'm starting to believe BBG has the best mid-jungle duo in the league based on how they tend to boost each other up. Statistically and synergistically, I have a lot of respect for how much work goes in and how much skill has been shown.

2. Mytharium- I respect the crap out of the stats, the wins, and the picks (fellow lobster player) but I had to bump Echko up for the main reason I see you in more of the supportive role than a threatening role at this time.

3. FurryLittleFeet- Okay, in all honesty, when this man is "on" and allowed to carry, Elysium wins games. When he's neutralized, they lose games. WE WANT MORE CARRY

4. Sutekh- Someone ban Kayn! I mean, someone let us inside this man's brain as he performs well on the rift and helps pilot the current number one team

5. Daedream- checks week one notes...improve objective taking, check, play more towards topside carry, check....NICE! However, Sutekh kinda smacked the jungle in your week 2 match so you're going down a slot.

Mid

1. Hwaisai...I mean Hwasal, has earned me spelling his name right. I genuinely believe he is tossing his team on a backpack, saying play around me, and helping smack the competition. Rating him at numero uno because his impact for his team is undeniable

2. LL Cool Jayce- The stats don't lie. I think being on a power roster absolutely helps, but not the backpack player like Hwasal is being. Also, someone ban Syndra please like c'mon

3. Ratchet- Nullified Jayce for two games which was very well done, combined with two strong performances in the win vs Brads, but I see you as more of the supporting glue between your jungle and ADC instead of the carry-player that the two above tend to be.

4. Karma Warrior- Strong team, strong stats, strong hands, I'm waiting to see you get challenged with a strong opponent or a 20/0/0 game instead of the safe KDA statlines against mid-tier foes before I rank you higher

5. Moowy- the coinflippiest coinflipper to ever flip a coin. When you're playing well, you're top 3. However, there's too many throws to rank you up there at the moment.

ADC

Honestly, there's a top 6 of ADC because Soulbert is SO CLOSE statistically to 5th, and then there's a massive drop-off with the other two teams. I have sat here for like 15 minutes debating on any changes to the adc rankings and I genuinely have none, so

1. EpicFailGuy,

2. Jed

3. Idrees

4. Ons3t

5. Ratthew

6. Soulbert*

Support

1. Koyesh- highest vision score? Koyesh. 2nd highest assists? Koyesh. Gold player who went on a korean sabbatical to learn the game? Koyesh. 4th highest overall KDA? Koyesh. 2nd Highest overall KP? Koyesh. I think that's all I have to say.

2. iBeyondGodly- This absolute legend boasts highest gold diff out of all supports, highest KDA, and he does it all because he wants to be our old friend Aashkaash but better. Seriously though, solid work.

3. M1x6- BRAD. Okay seriously though even in the losses, M1x has solid statlines, usually best on the team, and keeps a very high vision score and assists/game ratio. Moving up the ranks for pure consistency and team impact.

4. Daeda- Similarly to M1, Daeda pumps out strong statlines and roaming map impact onto the rift, but im surprised he's not higher in the vision and KP% department despite the high roaming.

5. Viulet- Highest assists/game, nice, but I personally attribute that to how scrappy your team likes to be considering you're not top 10 KP like many of these lads are. Excited to see more games out of you, especially with reducing the gold deficits you often have.

6- Honorable mention Qixing for highest KP%

Okay. Its Done. I Can Breathe. Have Your Content. Do The Form. Good Night. Flame Me As Desired.
