Manatsu’s Magazine: Platinum Week 2

Hi! Manatsu here, power ranking and predicting who will win their matches this week. If you don’t know me, I’ve played in a variety of leagues including two seasons in the Blue Otter Platinum League. With my return to playing in the league, I’ll be churning out this magazine once again. During the first few weeks of play, expect drastic shifts in power rankings as there were many ties last week and ELO is still figuring stuff out. Without further ado, let’s get started!
