hey there are some ppl that should be picked for ss. From my observances, the perception of the tier been shifting to one of more positivity. People are finally starting to disassociate ssru with the slow slugfests of ssou and recognizing that it still maintains a very high level of competitive play despite the high variance in team structures and archetypes. Some newer players since rupl have taken a liking to the tier and some of them i think should be recognized as legit ssru players based on conversations, tour results, and test games.

Txunt!

RUCL Power Ranking​


7th : Devious Diancies
The team looks weird some what I would considere some overpays and underpays. SV should not be a problem unless LBN and Flam get in a war of ideas. The mainers are good tho so I got no doubt on the core. Runo seems like a solid SS player too. This team has some decent players but idt anyone besides the SV is going to cook an insane performance.

6th : Tsarenna Bisexul Divas

Poor Ishtar was broke after getting the 2 most expensive players of the draft. I got no doubt about the vibes. I also see all the slots besides gen 8. Gen 6 and 5 should do really well however idk who'll build for gen 9 is what I'm worried about (I hope mind won't have to build for 4 slots). You've also got some solid clickers as subs which is good for flex slots.

5th : Borussia Donphans
Their draft started really well but then I think it kinda died out. Mielke for 20.5k seems like a lot when you see their rupl record. I kinda see their SV core tho Tsuki is a big question as she hasn't played ru tho she follows the meta. Some of their gens are broken although idk who their SM/ ORAS is depeding on where Evi goes. I also don't know most of the subs well so can't judge.

4th : Rising Sandstorm
Metallica and Eeriespells also got broke really fast however they did get some good players on the way. My main concern is more on the subs who're unproven in RU tho Meta seems to know them well so they may be very sheist.

3rd : Zui Zoruas

When we were drafting with Seed we had 2 things to say about this team. Holy it looks solid although you have to be aware of gen 6. The second one was "Who will build for SV?" The only builder is AJ kinda and he can't build for 4 slots all alone.

2nd : The Feraliburn

Zause, Nemosse and Flab will have to carry the SV prep as they bought a lot of clickers. The other slots seem fine. I'm a bit worried about the activity of some of those players but it's still a solid team. Happy to see Zause make his debute!

1st : Magic Guardians
Team looks good ngl. All the slots are good, maybe gen 3 is weaker but besides that I really enjoy the team. Not much more to say lol.
 
Alright let's start with the important rankings and do the less interesting PR after.

Viable teams:
20/20 Virizion, Tsareena Bisexual Divas, Rising Sandstorm, Zui Zoruas

Unviable teams:
Devious Diancies, Magic Guardians, Borussia Donphans, The Feraliburn

This is a disgrace to RU teamtour drafts, if it were up to me these 4 teams would start at -2.

Real Power Rankings
1. Tsareena Bisexual Divas
They have the most star power in my opinion. There are six players which i would be shocked if they don't go positive and half of those will probably go 5-2 or better. I'm not familiar with a lot of the 3k pick ups, but also see some familiar names from other tiers that I'm curious how they will do in this tour. My only question mark is who is gonna cover the ADV slot here, but that might just be not knowing an ADV main.
2. The Feraliburn
This team also has good star power. However, they have less players im confident in that will go positive. Instead they have an army of people that might do well but also might not. However, half of those will be on the bench. If they can figure out the optimal starting line up of those together with good old gen coverage they will do well.
3. Rising Sandstorm
Metallica's team usually make playoffs and I expect that here as well. There is a good mix of proven players and chinese players that always perform decent with Metallica's support. I'm most interested to see how daharan and Paprikaflow will do here.

4. 20/20 Virizion
I think this is a solid team. All tiers are covered and there are some good picks that I'm curious how well they can do (Hoops and txunt). However, I do think overall they have a weaker roster than the three teams above.
5. Magic Guardians
I think this team is very similar to the virizions. Overall a very solid roster with all slots covered, though they don't have a dedicated ADV'er. I think if they want to make play offs sol has to get revenge for his 2-5 rupl.
6. Zui Zoruas
This team is very old gen skewed. They definitely have an excellent roster there. The SV however is a bit dry and I think it will be tough for them. To make play offs they mainly have to overcome that I feel.
7. Borussia Donphans
I think this is also a fine team. I rate them a bit lower because I don't see a lot of players who I think will get wins consistently week after week to carry the team. Mielke is one of the few dedicated ADV'ers this tour, so a lot will depend on if they can take advantage of that.

8. Devious Diancies
To me this is the worst team out of the 8. A lot of players here feel slightly overpriced, which results in the overall roster being subpar. To make play offs multiple players here will have to show up big time.

Overall I expect the top 3 teams to all make play offs, then 4-7 are very close to each other, and unfortunately I think the diancies will have a hard time making play offs. I challenge you to prove me wrong.
