[QUOTE="saulan, post: 1100112, member: 60236"] As much as I love the team rankings, I think people are reading a bit too much into them in terms of how bad a team is. These aren’t the days that the top 3 are going to undoubtedly beat the rest of the teams 98% of the time. This tournament has 3,4,6 and 8th and they’re all even on win losses. The three match series between 1 and 4, 3 and 9, 6 and 7 and 5 and 8 were all competitive, 2-1 series. (I know I’m using current rankings vs then, but still holds relatively to the point). It’s just a pretty unprecedented time where anybody 1-9 could beat the other teams in those rankings, which in general is good for the game. [/QUOTE]
