Week 5 Manatsu’s Magazine
Hi! Manatsu here, power ranking and predicting who will win their matches this week. This week was a fiesta. In terms of power rankings and records, lots of upsets happened. We surprisingly have a 3-way tie which is pretty hard to come by in the middle of a season. We have no more undefeated teams thanks to !rawr Lethal. 5 teams in Conference A are tied at 17 pts with a 6th team just trailing with 13pts. Hide on Team, a previously winless team in non-divisional games, went 2-0, and Soulbound Tempest made a comeback after being swept in divisional play. After 4 weeks of play, teams are now finishing cross-divisional play in one division. This will give us a better understanding at how good teams are. Let’s get started!

Predictions
ELO and I didn’t do so hot last week. We correctly predicted less than half the matchups. I think the same will happen this week as what once seemed like cookie cutter divisions are becoming close and more exciting.
