Rank Moved Squad Comments Pilot del Grande Ave. Offense Ave. Defense Dominance Next Opponent Chance to Win #1 +1 Dissent Started off slow against Nightwatch (#11) by giving up a 2-3 lead. Once Omis and hedcase8 subbed in things got back under control and Dissent ran with it, finishing up 12-6. Fatal bagged the MVP by going 5-1 in his first appearance this season. KL: cfl, Omis, Revue, Bahamut Omis 11-4 (+348) 8.22 5.44 +278 Secret 92% #2 +2 In Flames IF were sluggish getting out of the gate against Llamasery (#14) until Ra got tired of watching the impossible happen, subbed in, and quickly put a stop to it. KL: Custom, Ra, Rifle, Reaper Man Ra 16-10 (+270) 9.78 7.00 +278 Mutiny 58% #3 - Ballistics Not at all the matchup we were expecting .. not at all the effort we would have liked to have seen from Money (#3). Ballistics started strong by killing The Invisible Man twice within the first 7 minutes and never looked back. KL: demerol, Dantos, Plutorus, RenderGod Dantos 20-9 (+344) 9.22 6.00 +322 Nightwatch 80% #4 -2 United Hats off to United for revealing The Dildonic Duo's true identities (Xorbid & Edony.) In a textbook thrashing, the European Eunichs held nothing back and everything in the front. Rumor has it that MZA is a big Anna Nicole Smith fan. Ding! KL: Masterlord, esidebob, DeathKnight, valence esidebob 21-5 (+489) 10.43 4.85 +558 Creation 78% #5 - Bad Bad did a great job capitalizing on KyleC's horrible performance (died twice in 41 seconds to eliminate him just 10 minutes into the game.) After the match Klown offers handshakes to the Friendly Fires (#12). They soon found out, much to their dismay, that Klown was wearing an electric palm buzzer. Gotcha! KL: Bronx, Meltdown, ImPerfection, falsehood Bronx 9-4 (+253) 8.44 6.44 +200 Fighting Foodons 53% #6 -2 Money Leathel and Terro were solid (as per norma) but couldn't carry their teammates who threw themselves on Ballistics' plethora of run+mine combo moves. KL: Leathal, Raiden, Terro, Mercury Leathal 22-8 (+505) 9.25 6.13 +312 Llamasery 86% #7 - Mutiny Mutiny squeaked out a key win against Creation (#6) after almost handing the win over. TardCart and Pushead (look Mom!) sealed the deal with a double-kill and kept Mutiny's playoff hopes alive. KL: TardCart, Eyecon, JOCKER, Pushead TardCart 18-11 (+360) 7.56 8.11 -55 In Flames 42% #8 +2 Fighting Foodons Spell (#8) is rolling on Foodons, up 4-1 with blur already on his last life. Surely they are going to win this thing, revitalize their playoff dream and prove to everyone that they can beat the tougher teams, right?? WRONG!!! Fluff! changes ships and the rest is history. Here's to you Mr. Toupee Wearer. KL: Trauma, WTF!, Fluff!, blur WTF! 19-7 (+511) 7.50 6.25 +125 Bad 47% #9 -2 Creation Creation played strong against Mutiny (#7) even amidst publicized intersquad issues. They almost turned the tables towards the end of the match.. down 5-7 with 5 minutes remaining, Creation killed out jimbobwey to take the 4v3 advantage. This loss put an end to Creation's playoff hopes. KL: Dont Talk To Me, Savage, sixth, DukeHazard Don't Talk 17-12 (+153) 7.38 8.00 -138 United 22% #10 -1 Spell Spell has come so close so many times this season but they just can't close these matches out. Kerouac takes the fall this time around and received the worst thrashing from the speccers I've seen in a long time. Kero just remember .. don't get mad, get .. ahh fuck that I'd be pissed as hell. Cheers! KL: Cash, Anamalech, Morale, Diablo Cash 8-4 (+165) 6.88 6.00 +88 DragonWings 62% #11 -1 Dragonwings If you are curious as to why Xorbid or Edony aren't listed in my rankings, let me enlighten you - it's because they are gigantic vaginas. Edony has changed to spectator mode. Xorbid has changed to spectator mode. Edony> no point in that anymore KL: Medicus, Vypr, zoldan-, Aleksandra Medicus 6-3 (+105) 7.11 7.00 +11 Spell 38% #12 0 Nightwatch Following Nightwatch's wreck of a season is a lot like riding a really crazy roller coaster but without any of the excitement, just the furious vomitting that ensues. Without Sage and Warlock, NW just can't keep it together. There's always a weak link and the competition this season knows how to capitalize. KL: Covert Agent, Blizzard, Sage_, Warlock_ Blizzard 5-4 (+125) 6.56 8.22 -166 Ballistics 20% #13 +1 Secret The boys on Secret were all in bunches because they got to play against people with names like "dinky 1", "Magpie 9", and "h0sT|L3". Surely nothing but good can come from this, and it was so. If only every squad started players with names comparable to these, Secret would be ranked #1. KL: Pempu, esox, Tragedy, Tursiops esox 5-4 (+72) 6.22 10.00 -378 Dissent 8% #14 -1 Friendly Fire KyleC, I'm just glad you play Continuum. At least here when you choke you don't get Aids. Ahem.

Well there's always the AML team? :P KL: NoCarbon, Mortok, Nechranos, d i g i Nechranos 9-4 (+238) 4.00 9.22 -522 Money 14% #16 - Emblem Emblem make their triumphant return to Premier after withdrawing then withdrawing their withdrawal by showing amazing team spirit and allowing Secret (#13) to win them with ease. You guys are too cute. KL: numpf, TargetLock, Champ, pump fedu 2-3 (+48) 6.00 11.25 -525 Friendly Fire 40%

AML Playoffs. (Version Carthage)

The 10th season of aml ALREADY? But yet, this proves to be one of the best ones yet! Here are my amazing predictions that will be obviously right.

[1]ReDS vs [8]Secret
Oh my LORD, ReDS have obviously killed everyone this season and are the favorites for the season 10 AML Championships. They have the best offense (11.66 Kills per game) and defense (2.88 deaths per game). Secret, on the other hand, has only won 2 games out of 9. There chances of winning this are slim. No to mention that they would have been eliminated from the playoffs if 7rominence didn't lose as bad as they did against Unit.
Ideal Lineup for ReDS: 9-volt, PINOYPOWER, kril, Jeo
Ideal Lineup for Secret: Doesn't matter, they lose.
ReDS over Secret 12-2

[2]BlackNike vs [7]OldShift
Hmm, OldShift hasn't played good this season. Especially the last 5 rounds. But who can blame them? They faced Llamasery, Disavowed, ReDS and BlackNike. Not an easy task to get by. BlackNike, on the other hand, is playing amazingly during the whole season only losing once, and it was to power house ReDS. They show a strong lineup to every game and can go really far in this playoffs.
Ideal Lineup for BlackNike: shortbow, ManDude, A.W.O.L, Cojones!!
Ideal Lineup for OldShift: Jam-Z, Eldritch, Cerium, Anyone else.
BlackNike Over OldShift 12-5

[3]Disavowed vs [6]Llamasery
Can you say "Match of the week?". Both teams have played well during the season, The reason why Llamasery is ranked so low is because of the obvious fact that they entered the season mid way. Disavowed has really surprised alot of people this season. Some washed up vets comming back to own, you don't see that everyday. Llamasery is having a tough time in IML, but a pretty decent time in AML. Although Disavowed will probably win this one, you will be sure to see a fight from Llamasery and might surprise some people.
Ideal Lineup for Disavowed: B|aze, Silver, Kurtz, Nyte
Ideal Lineup for Llamasery: d i g i, Crunchy, mortok, Nocarbon
Disavowed over Llamasery 7-6

[4]EpiK vs [5]Unit
Will be a very close match. Unit has struggled at the begining of the season but has shown alot of improvement since then. They went 1-3 in their first 4 games of the season and then went 4-1 in the final 5. Epik on the other hand, has been a streaky squad... They might lose against Disavowed 12-1 one game, and win 12-0 against 7rominence the next round. Thats why I am going for Unit, they are hot as of late, but don't be surprised if EpiK takes this one.
Ideal Lineup for EpiK: Magic, Killing Joke, schlong, plareplane
Ideal lineup for Unit: Lecktrik, Fog, Snail, Trismo

Round 8 Rankings

Shirley Temple or Stranger on the Rocks?

Rank Moved Squad Comments Top Overall Pilot #1 0 United Match vs Fighting Foodons was postponed. The shinannigans that went on here made Janet's Wardrobe Malfunction seem like a walk in the park. Masterlord 15-4 #2 +1 Dissent In the best match of the season so far, Dissent pulled out a win against Money (#2) just as Overtime had begun. Entertainment's starter calls and subbing was absolutely key here. Money kept the starters in and lost the rep battle. As of now, Dissent is the team to beat. Omis 10-4 #3 -1 Money Terro is certainly a driving force on Money.. but if you look at their losses, he is the one coming up short. Not having Leathel in really takes a lot away from the confident aggression this team has. By the way, is anyone else sick and tired of, every Sunday during the Money match, people debating over what aliases belong to who? People who alias are jackasses. Leathal 19-5 #4 0 Bad Bad hasn't been consistent throughout the season and almost gave the game away (with Win and eXorcist each dying twice), but they kept it together long enough to put a speed bump in the way of Spell's (#8) momentum and proved they can win the close ones, too. Bronx 9-4 #5 0 In Flames BALLISTICS was due for a loss and In Flames were happy to oblige. After an embarrassing loss to Dissent, IF had something to prove here. The only thing keeping IF from the top 3 spots right now are their two losses, one to Bad and one to Dissent. Rifle 21-12 #6 0 Creation After the dissappointing loss to BALLISTICS, you would have thought Creation would come out swinging.  Instead they found themselves down 3-5 against Llamasery (#15) --the worst team in the league-- with 10 minutes to go in the game.  Fortunately for them, d i g i has a high choke factor and died out.  Being a man up was the break Creation needed and they quickly pulled it together.  Not the performance they needed to get them back on track, however. Don't Talk to Me 17-11 #7 0 Mutiny Def. Dragonwings (#9) to log their first winning streak of the season. DW did not play their "ringers" for whatever reason and it cost them. TardCart had a breakout performance, finishing out at 8-2. TardCart 14-10 #8 0 Spell Stood toe-to-toe against Bad (#4) for the length of the match.  Had two of Bad's pilots on their last lives but weren't able to capitalize.  Soon after the match went into overtime, Artisan suicided ignorant to the rules of overtime.  Arti was stuck with "Choke (Excuse) of the Week", and he should be.  There's no excuse for not knowing the rules, especially when one game can make/break you. Cash 7-3 #9 0 Dragonwings Lost to Mutiny (#7) for the second time this season.  Without their starters in they weren't able to put anything together.  Underlord and zoldan were there, interesting that they didn't play. Xorbid 13-3 #10 0 Fighting Foodons Postponed their match vs United (#1). WTF RAISED X COST! 18-7 #11 0 Nightwatch Took advantage of Emblem's (#13) poor showing (only fielded 3 pilots) by getting them ready for Easter and handing them a giant goose egg.  Sage and Warlock are back so look for Nightwatch to start playing strong and winning games. a suicidal dentist 11-12 #12 +2 Friendly Fire FF finally got the right four in and raped Secret (#12).  If only FF had worked this all out a few weeks ago :( twIsta 11-2 #13 -1 Secret Secret this season is an enigma wrapped inside a conundrum hidden inside a mystery ... or however that saying goes.  They have the talent and potential to win games, but they can't seem to get a fourth guy in who's worth a shit.  This is the second week in a row that Maghava played poorly and let his team down. Pempu 12-15 #14 +1 Llamasery Played Creation (#6) VERY tight and would have most-likely won if not for the combo-choke by Crunchy and d i g i.  Llamas seem to be plagued by the same thing that's keeping Secret down - lack of a solid fourth pilot. Nechranos 9-4 #15 -2 Emblem Only showed 3 pilots to their match amongst confusion about them dropping out of IML.  bluesfear has cleared everything up and plans to continue playing with the players that he has. fedu 2-3 #? - BALLISTICS demerol dropped a suprise gift on In Flames (#5) by choking out 0-3 early on in the match and forcing his teammates to turret.  BALLISTICS face another tough team this Sunday in Money (#3). This will give us a good chance to see just how much championship-potential BALLS have in them. Dantos 17-8

Round 7 Rankings

Flooding the cave:

Rank Moved Squad Comments Top Overall Pilot #1 0 United Match vs Spell was postponed. Masterlord 15-4 #2 0 Money Match vs Emblem was postponed. Leathal 19-5 #3 +2 Dissent Dissent uses 7 pilots to easily sidestep In Flames' momentum.  Entertainment's ego expands. Revue 15-8 #4 0 Bad Made quick work of Secret (#11), capitalizing on Magheva's complete inability to stay alive (who is this guy anyway?)  Lovable, huggable bad boy Semi subs in 20 minutes into the game for the janitorial MVP.  Somewhere, a child is crying because Semi stole and ate his happy meal. fresh 6-1 #5 -2 In Flames Destroyed by Dissent (#5).  Ra died early twice, was subbed by Reaper Man who lasted a grand total of 3 minutes before dying out and leaving his squad down a man. Rifle 19-10 #6 +1 Creation A very rare choke by Savage and then the follow-up choke by Designator cost these guys a great chance at proving themselves by playing BALLISTICS close.  Creation are slowly working their way down the ladder and might soon find themselves out of playoff contention. Don't Talk to Me 15-10 #7 +3 Mutiny Pulled out an impressive win against the playoff-bound Fighting Foodons (#6).  After a rough start last Sunday, Eyecon was in top form, going 4-1 and grabbing the MVP.  The stars have aligned. jimbobwey 6-3 #8 0 Spell Postponed their match vs United. Cash 7-3 #9 0 Dragonwings As expected, DW cleaned house on IML's perpetual bottom-feeders, Llamasery (#15).  You would have thought though with all of their starters in this match should have been even more of a blowout. Xorbid 13-3 #10 -4 Fighting Foodons Upset by the newly revitalized Mutiny (#10).  USS Evader manages to lag out / run away long enough to keep his nice MR Statistics in tact despite the loss. WTF RAISED X COST! 18-7 #11 +1 Nightwatch Def. #14 Friendly Fire despite a solid effort by the latter.  This was probably Nightwatch's best performance of the season thus far. a suicidal dentist 8-12 #12 -1 Secret Donkey-punched by Bad (#4). At this point, none of Secret's pilots are in the green on MR Stats. Pempu 12-12 #13 0 Emblem Postponed their match vs Money. fedu 2-3 #14 0 Friendly Fire Couldn't stand up to Nightwatch's (#12) focused attack.  Friendly Fire suffers when twIsta is not in. twIsta 7-2 #15 0 Llamasery The Llamas have had a few strong showings lately, this was not one of them.  Stop letting that R.O.C.K. guy play .. I mean seriously, noone with an alias like that can be any good, right?  Plus his new movie looks stupid as hell. Razar 4-7 #? - BALLISTICS Def. #7 Creation.  demerol is bigger than life right now.  Give it up!  Respect.  A cool note about Ballistics, they have only used 8 pilots over the length of the season.  This is not your typical Ballistics team at all .. look out IML. Demerol 18-7
