Playoffs Round 1 Manatsu’s Newspaper

Hi! Manatsu here, power ranking and predicting who will win their matches this week. As someone competing in the Plat league and spending time creating content for that league, I don’t have as much free time to watch the Gold league games. This means all my rankings and predictions will be made by my ELO system. We are entering the first round of playoffs with a thrilling set of 8 matches for the top 16 teams. Since all the other teams are not competing anymore, they will not be included in the power rankings. At the end of this newspaper, I have a new section for Players of the Week. I use the stats provided by the Blue Otter League to determine who performed the best. With that said, let’s get started!
