Since we are a few days away from concluding this Round, I thought I'd go ahead and rank the top four teams as of today. Do note that if this was done a week or two weeks ago, the following team would not be this high. Preseason, I projected them to be weaker than Afrabs, and boy was I wrong. Back by popular demand (and frequent harassment), at #4, Team Oceania.
#4 Oceania
Captain: trc -- I'm actually afraid of entering #wcop on IRC because of this guy. here's an inaccurate snippet of our first ever conversation:
trc: rankings?
WhiteQueen: i would do it to but i'm not in the mood
trc: bullshit
WhiteQueen: ??
trc: bullshit!
WhiteQueen:
trc: you're just trying to milk the likes. you want people blah blah blah
...
With that said, as a captain, he did an excellent job bringing guys like panamaxis and Earthworm back from the graves.
Co-captain: TGMD - BUNNIES!!!!
ORAS OU: Tom Bus -- he used TeleGod's team to defeat some noob. He obviously knows what he's doing
ORAS OU: daftmau5 -- one of the new crop of players that I think is really, really good. (even though I destroyed him, 2-0 easy snackwraps, in the quarterfinals of this year's OST). he's still a really good player and is someone to keep an eye out for
ORAS OU: Escavalier -- two weeks ago, it would have been a "sorry don't know you." Saw the games he played, and I'm impressed
ORAS OU: D4RR3N -- sorry don't know you :(
ORAS OU: babidi1998 -- there isn't a person on Smogon whose autism is more potent than Heist's. This is why he's always so consistent and is so hard to beat off
BW OU: Smurf. -- is there no other BW OU player in Oceania? dude's not even good enough to be on Metro's bench
DPP OU: panamaxis -- the legendary panamaxis is no match for the WhiteQueen in ORAS OU
ADV OU: Golden Sun -- at one point, I honestly thought this guy was Bluewind's alt. Then I saw his pink trophy, which proved that he was not. Having a trophy means you're good by default
GSC OU: Earthworm -- the legendary Earthworm is no match for the WhiteQueen in ORAS OU
RBY OU: Hipmonlee -- Veteran in Love said he used to be a god, so who am I to judge
Sub 1: Frizy -- he's that girl's boyfriend
Sub 2: Blue Kirby -- sorry don't know you :(
Sub 3: makiri -- my beloved Paul
Sub 4: lily -- this girl is a solid player. she actually kicked my ass a few times in some random tournaments, so she's good
Sub 5: TGMD -- BUNNIES!!!!
