#1 - AMBIGUOUSLY GAY TRIO (2-0) +1
Yeah that's right, I'm putting my own team at the top. What of it? You got a problem?? AGT rolled to a second straight 3-0 victory last week on Escape and have yet to drop a round thus far. That could all change this week vs. a (so far underachieving) Throwbacks team on Sub, but at the moment this is the team with the strongest combination of overall record and roster stability. And now that I've put us at #1, we are bound to lose our next 4 matches. Come at us, bros!
#2 - BACKRAGENOGIBSNOVIVES (2-1) +3
After a shaky start and some Ding baby-mama roster drama, BRNGNV responded in a big way by clobbering last week's #1 ranked team, Beast Mode, 3-0 on Escape. As mentioned in last weeks rankings, if the lineup of Knifey/Ding/Bassman can get it together on a regular basis, this team is going to be a force to be reckoned with. They showed that in week 3, and now have a week off to revel in victory. Plus Ding is now gibbing. Scary.
#3 - RINGERS (2-0)
The Ringers put up another very impressive showing last week on Escape, with gun-for-hire 8s as the designated sub. Again, this team could easily be ranked #1 or #2 if only they knew who their 3rd player would be from week to week. Eventually the Ringer pool will run dry (or maybe their next ringer will intentionally sabotage them?), and come playoff time they may be in trouble. Still, they are yet to drop a round this tourney, and Scrilla could show up at any minute. One way or another, they'll try to continue their roll this week vs. Beast Mode.
#4 - BEASTMODE (2-1) -3
After 2 very strong showings the first 2 weeks of the season, Beast Mode hit a brick wall named BRNGNV on Escape. Maybe Sonic was on a super important business call during the match. Maybe LikeThat was exhausted from his 10 hour camp on the PA turnpike. Maybe 8s used up all of his magic while ringing for the Ringers. Regardless of the reason, Beast Mode was less than impressive in week 3, and now have a daunting opponent in the Ringers awaiting them on Sub. Plus their tags are weird, resulting in this plummet down the rankings.
#5 - V53 STOOGES (1-2) -1
The Stooges have now dropped 2 matches in a row after their week 1 victory on Frostbite. The trend is a disturbing one, with 2 straight weeks of quite abysmal team KD ratios. However, the Stooges continue to scrim some 1337 Euros and work on their strats, so if their guns catch fire then watch out. A week 4 date with Canada eh? will be a telling match, as 2 teams teetering on the brink of quasi-elimination lock horns.
#6 - THROWBACKS (0-2)
Not much to say about these guys. They had a bye week on Escape, so they stay at their original #6 slot. They infiltrate private 3v3 team Facebook groups. They did not protect my (Clinton Cork's) anonymity in last week's rankings. They scrim for 2 hours on a Sunday night and still act like they are unprepared. They get wasted on Mumble and sing songs in Mandarin. They're a devious and shifty bunch, and I hope we fucking crush them on Sub. If we don't, this will be the last week of the power rankings because I won't be able to bring myself to move them up and us down.
#7 - CANADA, EH? (0-3)
It didn't get any better for the Canucks last week, suffering a 3-0 loss on Escape. They pretty much need a clean sweep of the remaining season to have a shot at the playoffs. That quest will begin on Sub vs. the Stooges, so we'll see what kind of fight and energy they bring to the match. If they can't manage their first win of the season this week, it might be time to change the team name to Del Griffith's favorite book, The Canadian Mounted.
Thanks for reading. As noted above, please send any negative feedback privately to me (Clinton Cork) on Facebook so that Jon Mirro's feelings don't get hurt. For positive feedback, please post in the public group so everyone can see. We value your thoughts and opinions. But not as much as last week.
