CS 1.6 Open Power Rankings - Week Six

---

Well it looks like there are no more undefeated teams already, which can be a good sign for a lot of teams because it means they can focus and learn from their mistakes. Now is a great time to learn because there is still some time until the playoffs where they won't be able to have many mistakes if they wish to win it all! At this moment it looks like all the teams will have to prepare for de_inferno and I'm sure teams are pumped to play this map again. Also, I added some new teams who are looking to work their way to the top of the rankings so watch out!

Team	Rank	Description
domination Factor Central 0-2-0 (.000) Streak L2	1.	Well domination Factor got their first loss of the season against Damn We Are Good, in an epic overtime battle. While this shows that domination Factor has flaws, I still believe they are one of the best teams in the East Division. Obviously not just the East Coast for now because I believe they still deserve the top spot on the rankings, since it was a very close overtime loss. With that in mind, now is the time for them to lock down their position as they are playing a great up and coming team outdone. Hopefully vaNder plays this week because i believe he is a strong player in their lineup, and I believe he is the player to watch this week (if he plays that is).
Week 7 7:1 - o u t d o n e vs. domination Factor 7:2 - domination Factor vs. immaculate
Wsup Den West 0-0-0 (.000) Streak N/A	2.	Just like domination Factor, violado got their first loss and I must say it was not from the team I was expecting. I still believe violado is the best coming out of the west coast at this point. It was a close loss, but nevertheless violado proved that they have some clear weaknesses that they need to work on. This week violado should be expecting a storm as they will be facing a very strong tNt team who is looking to show how good they are. Now is the time for violado to prove to everyone that they are the number one team out of the west, and I believe sideline will be leading the way.
Week 7 7:1 - Flaming Rainbow vs. violado 7:2 - violado vs. tNt is Dynamite
old FoA Central 0-0-0 (.000) Streak N/A	3.	I'm really enjoying what FoA is being able to put out right now, and they seem to want the open title the most which makes me think they deserve it. FoA recently showed their strength as a team by defeating Truckers United and djc loves cookies (the djc match being a overtime match). FoA will now have to face off against another pair of tough contenders in The Legacy and Ecuadorians, these will not be easy matches and I assume that if FoA keeps up in practicing then they will be able to continue their reign as the top central team. I expect that trey-f4- will continue his reign as frag leader for FoA in these inferno matches.
Week 7 7:1 - FoA vs. The Legacy 7:2 - djc loves cookies vs. FoA
Damn We Are Good East 1-0-0 (1.000) Streak W1	4.	Some times these teams and matches confuse me, but for now it looks like "damn we are good" is feeling pretty damn good as they were able to brush off their loss to Misery Business by upsetting domination Factor in a close overtime win. This week we will have the test between the Good versus the Incredible, and I'm sure it will be a great match. Besides that match we have a fairly strong immaculate team who is looking to make a name for themselves as being another great team on the East Division. Overall now is the time for Damn We Are Good to shine, and I'm expecting fabiaN to continue to step up for the team.
Week 7 7:1 - Damn Were Incredible vs. Damn We Are Good 7:2 - immaculate vs. Damn We Are Good
tNt is Dynamite West 1-1-0 (.500) Streak W1	5.	tNt is Dynamite has still proven to be a powerful team from the west coast, and a certain player is really prepared to prove that tNt is the best. Now is their time to really prove how good they are, and it is against teams that they seem to verbally believe they are better then. I must say this all leads to some exciting fans who I am sure can't wait to spectate the matches coming up this week. If the team can properly execute their positions, and grab momentum I really believe they have a shot at getting big wins this week. Yu1337 will be the Dynamite this week for tNt so expect some big numbers from him.
Week 7 7:1 - tNt is Dynamite vs. Paradox- 7:2 - violado vs. tNt is Dynamite
viGor Central 0-0-0 (.000) Streak N/A	6.	Well viGor is letting me down with their current back and forth losses, but hopefully now that they brought skiM back they will be able to keep a consistent roster to frag. Also, they did play a great up and coming team in outdone who has definitely shown that they are a top team out of the east. Either way the team needs to fix their problems, and I wouldn't be surprised for all of the errors to be fixed by the end of the playoffs :). Expect for the changes to be shown in the players, so expect apierce1g to turn it up a notch and end up top fragging again (If i'm wrong then expect dsingh to pick it up as usual :P).
Week 7 7:1 - Fly Society vs. viGor 7:2 - TEAM ATACTX vs. viGor
Seraphic Central 0-0-0 (.000) Streak N/A	7.	As stated last week it looks like the Legacy is slowly correcting the mistakes that they were having before, and they seem to have found a solid 5. At the same time it looks like they have some work to do as they almost loss to a mediocre team in aSpired Ones. At the end of the day they got the win, and it proves to me they still deserve to be one of the better teams in the central division. Legacy will have a chance to really prove how much they deserve this spot by facing off against top central contender FoA. I believe that joeyb will be the one who trop frags this week so keep an eye on him.
Week 7 7:1 - FoA vs. The Legacy 7:2 - The Legacy vs. Team Legion
Snail Trail East 2-0-0 (1.000) Streak W2	8.	Ralph is continuing their place holding for wrk (i plus karma'd you) fairly nicely thus far as they have pulled off a great win streak. It looks like he should be able to play both matches this week so I would be scared if you get matched up against Ralph right now. I see this week as being a great warm up for wrk, and they will need it since the following week looks pretty tough. Keep your confidence up Ralph, and you definitely won't be going anywhere. Obviously I believe wrk is the player to watch for the team, because lets be honest jess and keef have sore backs thus far from carrying the team ;).
Week 7 7:1 - Fraggin For Allah vs. Ralph Please Go 7:2 - Ralph Please Go vs. iRule
Explicit West 0-0-0 (.000) Streak N/A	9.	I was unsure of what this team (former PanGamers) could handle after their loss to tNt, but it seems like they are definitely a very strong team as they ended up giving violado their first loss of the regular season. On the note of tough matches, it looks like CinqDieux will have another one as they will face off against another tough team in diu9u. If the team wants to continue their reign as being one of the best west coast teams, this is the time. As for the player to watch, it looks like Obsolete is still one of the strongest fraggers on the team so keep an eye on him.
Week 7 7:1 - CinqDieux vs. diu9u 7:2 - knowledgeez vs. CinqDieux
Happypants East 0-0-0 (.000) Streak N/A	10.	Well this is sad to see, after a big win against viGor it seems like a few of outdone's matches were overturned due to a previous player cheating at one point. While I don't want to get into the rulings of that, I do think this team is one of the best teams in the East Division with their current lineup. For now I will keep them at this medium position, but regardless this team has gotten some big name players to win against some tough teams. This week they will face off against the other East Coast powerhouse and I would assume they have the capability to really give them a run for their money. I believe this will be lead by that top fragger 1ekimzor.
Week 7 7:1 - o u t d o n e vs. domination Factor 7:2 - TEAM ATACTX vs. o u t d o n e
Intermediate Pug Central 0-0-0 (.000) Streak N/A	11.	It looks like I'll have to repeat myself, because it looks like djc loves cookies got another tough loss in the last rounds of a match. This is really sad to see, and I'm sure very aggravating for the team. Either way the team will not have time to sulk about as they will have to learn from their mistakes and prepare for their tough matches against Truckers United and MobilityGaming. Both of their opponents have had their chances on the Power Rankings, but can't seem to hold things together in the long run. Now is a good time to see what this team is capable of, and I'm sure this week neyloc will continue fragging hard for the team.
Week 7 7:1 - Truckers United vs. djc loves cookies 7:2 - MobilityGaming vs. djc loves cookies
Make it Happen Central 1-1-0 (.500) Streak L1	12.	Well it looks like thus far the Ecuadorians are a solid team that has flaws which some teams can exploit, but they are also a very strong team who can defeat big names like Deadbolt. With that being said I believe this week will be the real test as this team will be matched up against a fairly evenly matched team in Truckers United, and against one of the best central teams in FoA. If you wanna make spectators proud and surprised now is the time! As for the player to watch, I believe MI-_-ki will make the team proud by putting up some big numbers.
Week 7 7:1 - Truckers United vs. Ecuadorians -W- Mouz 7:2 - Ecuadorians -W- Mouz vs. FoA
diu9u Central 1-0-0 (1.000) Streak W1	13.	diu9u didn't really have much of a challenge last week, but things will change this time around as they will face very strong CinqDieux team. Looking at what diu9u has done thus far, one could assume that de_lite just isn't the teams map. At the same time it is tough to say since they happened to have played some of their toughest competition in those matches. Either way the team is looking really good, and they should expect another hard match against CinqDieux who will surely take advantage of any mistakes they see.
Week 7 7:1 - CinqDieux vs. diu9u 7:2 - Vivid vs. diu9u
Hausen eSports Central 0-1-0 (.000) Streak L1	14.	Well it seems Epidemic Gaming decided to change their name to yaddla?, not sure if that is supposed to be allday backwards which would be said since it's spelled wrong :P. Either way team team quickly bounced back after their losses on dust2 and defeated both of their opponents on nuke. This leads me to believe that this team works better on strategy maps compared to the pure rush and crush maps (i like that rush and crush line, i should copyright it). Anyways yaddla has some fairly mediocre matches this week on inferno, so I expect that their teamwork will come in nicely. As for the frags I believe that whoiswhois_db will continue his reign as top fragger.
Week 7 7:1 - yaddla vs. Vivid 7:2 - yaddla vs. powerlevel9000
The Select Few Central 1-2-0 (.333) Streak L2	15.	Again it looks like Deadbolt is falling to mediocracy as they seem to win some big matches, but end up losing the next. For now though I still think the team has a lot of potential and the ability to create big upsets. With that in mind, now is the time to give those big upsets as they will be facing a strong Phrenetik team and a slightly injured but still scary 5 Barry Orlovs team. I think deadbolt will rise to this occasion and I expect POWERHOUSE to be the one who leads the team to some wins.
Week 7 7:1 - Phrenetik vs. Deadbolt 7:2 - Deadbolt vs. The 5 Barry Orlovs
The 5 Barry Orlovs Central 0-0-0 (.000) Streak N/A	16.	Well after all the drama of multiple teams having their matches overturned due to a player being caught cheating it seems perhaps I had ranked this team too low earlier. At the same time it is pretty tough to decide how good this team will do when they really havn't had a serious tough match (and still almost lose 5v4s). Either way, for now the team may actually get a chance to play a real team who uses 5 players! So this makes me excited to see what they can do, and I'm sure they are excited too. I believe the player to watch this week is whether or not what I say is true, and a 5th shows up from the other team (All joking and questions aside, I wish the barry orlovs good luck this week against deadbolt and suckerpunch).
Week 7 7:1 - The 5 Barry Orlovs vs. Sucker Punch 7:2 - Deadbolt vs. The 5 Barry Orlovs
alaN Central 0-0-0 (.000) Streak N/A	17.	Well after an overturned match from outdone, and an overall great season Damn Were Incredible has found themselves back on these power rankings. This is due to the fact that their only two major loses was to some great teams in domination Factor and viGor (both of which had times in the first position). DWI will now look to continue their strong season as they will face off against some damn good players and some msrybusns pplz. Keep your eyes on my man firedust because he can frag hard, and he can do it on LAN!
Week 7 7:1 - Damn Were Incredible vs. Damn We Are Good 7:2 - Misery Business vs. Damn Were Incredible
spazn express East 0-0-0 (.000) Streak N/A	18.	I thought it was only fair that the team that takes out Misery Business deserves to take their spot on the Power Rankings. This was a sure fact considering that immaculate's only losses have been to very strong teams in viGor and outdone. Sadly, the real competition is only starting to begin as immaculate will now have to face off against Damn We Are Good and domination Factor. If the team wishes to throw out some underdog wins, this is a great time. I believe that AtKiSaMoNsta will come up big this week for his team so keep an eye on him.
Week 7 7:1 - immaculate vs. Damn We Are Good 7:2 - domination Factor vs. immaculate
Mobility-Gaming Central 1-0-0 (1.000) Streak W1	19.	Time for some new faces from the west coast! I decided to put knowledgeez up here because they have continued to get the wins they needed, and got a nice win over Paradox-. Also, their only loses came from top west coast teams like violado and yaddla. Now is a great time for them to make their way to the top of these rankings just like the standings, and the main obstacle that they must pass is defeating a very tough CinqDieux team. It looks like kiko is the main fragger for this team so make sure to keep your eyes glued on him.
Week 7 7:1 - knowledgeez vs. dead serious 7:2 - knowledgeez vs. CinqDieux
The Dons Central 0-0-0 (.000) Streak N/A	20.	I decided to give the Dons a more serious spot on the Power Rankings as they are coming closer to the records of those other top teams in the division. This also can be seen as a warning because now their FFW streak will be ending and they should prepare to play some pretty good teams (DANKEST is still kinda good right?). Either way, everyone should make sure to prepare to see this name a lot in the playoffs. I believe the player to watch for the Dons is that dude hiko because he obviously is the don of the dons.
Week 7 7:1 - NakedUnicornsDancnErotic vs. The Dons 7:2 - The Dons vs. DANKEST-
