ITH'S UNBIASED DRAFT RANKINGS
if u get mad about this cry about it
These are my rankings that are 100% correct and anyone who disagrees is wrong
8th- The Money Magearnas
AAA: Dragonillis
BH: GL Volkner+dimrah
Camo: Matiss98+Dragonillis
MNM: gmansour20+Fardin
NFE: Crystalites
STAB: Funbot28
I'll start out by saying I don't think anyone had a "bad" draft this year. The Mages have some solid mains on their team, with top NFE, BH and Camo mains. This is pretty much where my praise for the team ends. This team isn't flexible at all, and is missing out on crucial support. Gman, while the cutest user, isn't going to mesh at all with Fardin so I can't expect much to come out of that tier. Who knows though fardin said he was gonna try hard so maybe the Mages can get some value out of that 3k. Additionally, while both are good picks, I can easily see both Dragonillis and Funbot being stretched too thin trying to support the team and falling short in their own tiers, both of which they're the only starters for. Volt+dimrah is a really good BH core at least, and pretty much the only tier the Mages have both a solid main and sub. This draft isn't bad by any means, but the lack of subs and flexibility in crucial tiers makes this team's risk factor way too high for my taste.
7th- The Klink Shamers
AAA: Pigeons+itsKimbo+Quantum Tesseract
BH: a loser+jasprose
Camo: DugZa+a loser
MNM: Quantum Tesseract+Pigeons
NFE: TonyFlygon+anime sans
STAB: betathunder
all around: LaBalladeDesCieux
subs: chait, lancer
Chloe doesn't have any OM contribution so she doesn't know how to draft. Period.
Unironically though, while Chloe managed to pick a solid draft, I am a little weary of this team due to the large amount of players, especially her biggest picks, who have barely touched Gen 8. a loser is a really solid BH and Camo player this gen, and was definitely a good purchase for Chloe who will be a great help. Pigeons is a solid pick for AAA/MnM as well, though I definitely see him playing AAA bc he is a whore for stall. LaBalladeDesCieux can play pretty much anything solidly if needed so Chloe's favorite drafting strategy of safety in numbers will probably pay off yet again. My issue comes in with QT and beta, who have played little generation 8 or only played randbats, and beta doesnt give 2 fucks about oms lol. Would love to see those two and this team as a whole do well, but I don't have the most faith.
6th- The Temper Tyrantrums
AAA: Racool
BH: SL42+Chessking
Camo: ? prolly mark
MNM: Skysolo
NFE: Ho3nConfirm3d
STAB: drampa
5 stab subs all around subs: Plas, Mark K, Akashi, The Number Man, Monsareeasy
Stop drafting so many players jesus you can't play them all. Above average mains in every tier but camo is a really nice draft, but Racool herself said she's probably not going to play half the weeks (though does anyone really believe her). This team is super cool honestly, though I think there is a real issue with how many people drafted. There's like 5 players who are known for heat sets and what not, so I do wonder how well this team will be able to seriously prep. This team could bring some of the coolest teams we've seen this gen, or just flop, and given the way dexit kinda killed creativity a good bit, I'm slightly leaning towards the latter. Confused why u guys bought chessking again also after kicking him from ur discord last year for being too annyoing lol... (EDIT: this mightve been someone else sue me)
5th- The Malevolent Misdreavuses
AAA: rozes
BH: SuperSkylake+tack
Camo: Euphonos+Chazm
MNM: Chazm
NFE: Tack
STAB: w0rd
subs: Lasen and abriel gabram
This draft is very straightforward and almost exactly what I expected from Chazm. I will say I was very confused when Chazm bought himself then proceeded to buy one of the most expensive Camo players and no real mnm sub, but otherwise Chazm managed to get 3 top tier players in rozes w0rd and euphonos as steals, though they still ended up being an expensive top heavy team. BH is probably the biggest weak link here, though I'm also not knowledgeable about nfe to say if it's bad.
4th- The Pandemic Parasects
AAA: Sabella
BH: sugarhigh+DF Shock
Camo: Sylveon
MNM: xZesty
NFE: TJ+85percent
STAB: Multi
People hate on this draft but it's actually really solid. Sabella hasn't really touched gen 8 AAA as far as I know, but with geerat's support, they'll probably do fine. Geerat literally 7-0s camo unless vs jrdn. Multi is top 3 stab players that actually play gen 8, and is incredibly valuable mnm support for xZesty, who's been playing mnm for 2 years now. Not sure about the NFE but TJ is really good and has support so I'm sure they're fine in that respect. sugar+df is alright bh ig but i'm not a fan of this core at all and is definitely their weak link. Cata did pretty good with this draft despite spending way too much money early, though similarly to Mage's, not having subs in tiers like Camo hurts a ton as they can't really move geerat to AAA if they need to.
3rd- The Spinda Wheels
AAA: Megazard+vivalospride+ham5x (+:xavgb:)
BH: PinkDragonTamer+anaconja (+:xavgb:)
Camo: Havens+ham5x
MNM: xavgb+Jordy
NFE: blinkboy+King Leo V
STAB: xavgb? did he draft himself twice?
Subs: Alkione
can stresh stop being so good at everything please. He got so many steals this draft its ridiculous. I don't even know how to talk about these tiers either because with xavgb support how they losing lol but.. AAA players on this team are shockingly really strong because I could've sworn pre-draft stresh would've put himself in AAA. For a gen 7 BH slot, this team would be broken as fuck, but for gen 8 it's just solid. I said this ranking would be unbiased but I am always biased towards Havens in camo, solid pick and ham signed up for camo so that core could be really scary. Not sure what they're doing about STAB at all, stresh's support here is very valuable as he's another top 3 current stab player, but idk if he'll be able to play STAB with only jordy for mnm subs, otherwise this team would easily be #1.
2nd- The Crown Jewel Corviknights
AAA: Thinkerino
BH: MAMP+pileosand
Camo: MetaRiolu7
MNM: Andyb0y
NFE: Marjane+uhuhuhu7+DJ
STAB: Terracotta+Thimo
This is probably my favorite draft this year, that NFE dude who's name I forgot did really good and I'm really excited to see how they do. Drafting Andyb0y early to co-manage was a really smart move, and stealing MAMP for the 3rd annual MAMPboy500 core is a classic that can't really go wrong. Thinkerino is an AAA player I've heard a ton about so I'll definitely be excited to see how they do in a team tour, though it's also this lack of tour experience that hurt this slot a little for me. STAB and Camo are decent, though not super exceptional slots (Terra+Thimo again will 100% be bringing the heat, but idk how far that will take them). NFE has stinky marjane so obviously they SUCK... but dj and uhuhuhu7 along with a NFE manager rounds out to possibly one of the most solid NFE cores in the tour.
1st- The Head Honchkrows
AAA: jrdn+aesf
BH: highlighter+alternatif
Camo: Highlord+Alternatif+jrdn
MNM: Redflix
NFE: frisoeva+cam
STAB: aesf+cam
jrdn has been doing this for years now so he knows what he's doing. His draft went really well overall, and there's really no major complaints I have with this lineup at all. By virtue of being jrdn, he can support his team while 7-0ing whatever tier he plays. aesf is top in both STAB and AAA, and can support Camo as well, though with their camo I doubt he'll need to. NFE and MnM are really solid but not really as great as tiers jrdn and aesf can support well. The only worry I have with this team comes with BH, as idk what highlighter is doing in a BH where shed is banned and there's no ZygC to use Final Gambit with, but I'm sure he'll find some broken thing to abuse.
Overall I think this draft, while kind of odd, has net yet another pretty competitive tour, and hopefully it will be as close as last OMPL was.
also my signup was completely serious this was bias by the OM leadership to not include me, you are liars and CHEATS. p2 can sign up for oras ou and get put in the player pool but when I make you look I'm "memeing"... PATHETIC.
