Week 4 Power Rankings & Predictions

Hi! Manatsu here, power ranking and predicting who will win their matches this week. Last week, we had our first set of divisional games. Oh my. What a night it was. Trash talk channel was very lively. Upsets were made. And I’m no better at predicting games than flipping a coin. Funny tidbit: All games in Divisions 1-3 took 3 games to finish while both games in Division 4 were sweeps. We have a lot of movements in the power rankings, and no ties in terms of ELO. You’ll notice in each team’s records that there are two records. The first one is their non-divisional record, and the second one is their divisional record. Since we only had one week of divisional play, you can just see each team’s respective divisional record for their results last week. Additionally, I’ll be adding a new section at the end called Players of the Week! Here are Manatsu’s Power Rankings for Week 4!

Predictions

I didn’t do so hot last week, only predicting half of the matches. Because the ELO system couldn’t give a prediction for two of those matches (due to ties), I won’t add those to the overall record for simplicity’s sake. Now that we are a third into the season, ELO changes will lessen. This means wins and losses are more meaningful as we approach the end of the season. Good luck to all teams!

Manatsu: 14-8

I will also use these rankings as a way to figure out the MVP of the Blue Otter League. If you make it in the Challenger team, you earn 3 MVP points! If you make it in the Grandmaster team, you earn 2! Lastly, you earn 1 MVP point if you make it on the Master team. Here are the Players of the Week for Week 3!
