Ebdanian Taco Power Rankings (Preseason)

1st| Defenders Of Faith

DoF is absolutely loaded at cavalry and archer. They also boast a flexible infantry presence that does not make costly mistakes and can flex to other classes based on the situation. The team to beat going into the tournament.

2nd| Unknown
Unknown has elite top end talent across all positions. Yoshie and Hancock are 2 of the 5 best players in North America and they are augmented by the strongest infantry core in the tournament. The only reason they are below DoF is they lack quality depth at cavalry for the time being, putting them at a disadvantage on Trading Post compared to move cav heavy teams. If Kel and ummmmidk start putting more hours into the game....Look out!

The RCC is extremely flexible at all positions. Whalefish has gained a reputation as the best player in Bannerlord and he is put into situations where he can do well. The infantry and cavalry lack the extreme top end talent of the best 2 teams but have solid depth all the way down the roster.

4th| Kingdom of Avalon
KoA has very talented Archers and respectable depth at Cavalry. The glaring weakness is the giant questionmark at infantry. The success of KoA will hinge on John and Aporta much more than other teams and their star players.

Wild Card Tier
These are the teams that would have a chance at making a 6 team playoff. As it stands now, they will have to play VERY well to make it into a 4 team playoff.
Wild Card| Poughkeepsie State
Discount VK has a very solid infantry core, along with archers that can make plays. The cavalry will need to prove themselves in a hurry in order for PSU to grab a playoff spot.
Key Players| Child (A), Dirty Savage (A-), Foppit (A-)

Wild Card| Honour Bound
Of the teams that stand a chance to make a playoff spot, HB is the most volatile. They have the potential to comfortably slide into the playoffs or finish at the very bottom of their tier depending entirely upon how much they practice and their motivation to play. The talent is there.
Key Players| LocketOut (A-), Chewbacca (A-)

Wild Card| Golden Kingdom
GK is in a similar boat as HB. Veteran players that are capable of doing very well under the right circumstances. Sparhawk has the tools to become a very good Bannerlord cav.
Key Players| Sparhawk (A-). Voltyr (B+), Careful Death (B+)

Abuzut is a very capable archer and Fyren has the tools to lead. This team is perfectly capable of beating those above it in the power rankings.

Wild Card| Alligators With Hats
Percivals days at the bottom of WBMM are over. He is a very strong player and perfectly capable of carrying a mid tier team. AWHs small roster has me nervous that they will have difficulty getting enough players on to practice and build cohesion. They would do well to add more players.
Key Players| Percival (A) Canton (B+)

I admittedly dont know much about this team other than Falmeer is on it and they apparently beat HB?? Big question marks everywhere but that just means they have potential.

Ebdanian Taco Power Rankings (Week 1)

1st| Unknown

Unknown is now unquestionably the #1 team after an awesome showing against DoF. Hancock cemented himself as a top tier player, challenging Beeflip and Whalefish for the title of best archer in the game currently. Whoever placed him in tier 2 is the big dumb and probably questioning their ability to evaluate talent. Fantasy owners on the up and up.

2nd| Defenders of Faith
While Beeflip did not disappoint, DoF demonstrated a lack of staying power against Unknown in their week 1 matchup. The opening fights of most rounds would be claimed by DoF, but they would eventually be outlasted by the opposing teams archers and second spawns.

The RCC cav were a large surprise in week 1. KoA did not have an answer for the Druzinnik Varyag combination and were put under large amounts of pressure by RCC aggression. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, MrWhaleFish was asked to play Sturgian Hunter both sets and did not put up the numbers that would be expected of him on other factions.

Not much was learned about KoA week 1 because they did not have many of their key player in attendance. This is still a team that should cruise into the playoffs.

Playoff Tier
Playoff Hopeful| Alligators With Hats
The Alligators handled VK light and in doing so established themselves as a serious team in this tournament. Sloppy was not someone I had on my radar but he completely balled out. This team has also added some experienced players since the preseason.

Chewbacca is back at it and HB beat a very respectable Ruby team convincingly. This is a team with MAJOR upside.

RM is a tough one to place because their match showed a lot more about GK than it did RM. How they will do with the high ping remains to be seen.

Abuzut played great week 1 but it wasnt enough to beat HB. This team really needs a win week 2 to keep its playoff hopes alive.

They didnt look good against the European team. Depending on matchups they can still string together a few wins though.

No idea about these guys but they are 1/0 which is better than half the teams right now so they have a leg up in the playoff hunt.

Ebdanian Taco Power Rankings (Week 2)

1st| Unknown

Unknown continued to flex its star power and depth at infantry in week 2. The infantry performed extremely well in a very close match against RCC and they were key in a 6-5 win. To be undefeated despite playing the toughest schedule thus far is a testament to Unknowns strength.

2nd| Defenders of Faith
DoF showed a surprising amount of dominance against an Alligators team which many thought could challenge the top tier teams. While the 1 seed may be unobtainable now, DoF has a very legitimate chance of claiming the 2nd seed and making their route to the finals much easier.

RCC proved that they belonge in the top tier with a very strong showing against Unknown. The RCC cav has finally built cohesion and therefore have cemented themselves as one of the top groups in the tournament. If MrWhalefish gets hot this is a team who can beat anybody.

Well it was fun for the 6 years it lasted, but HB is back. Do they beat Unknown this week? Probably not. Will they be in the playoffs? Absolutely yes. By the way, Chewbacca is like really good and stuff. Neat.

RM is undefeated. RM has played far and away the easiest schedule of any team. Coincidence? Not for me to say. Their match with KO will tell us a lot.
Key Players| Auki (A-), Koso (A-)

Playoff Contender| Kingdom of Avalon
KoA is set up for a very good match with AWH. If the match is close the winner sets up very well for the playoffs and the loser will have the best chance of any 1-2 team to fight its way in. KoA is miles better when Aporta plays, so hope hes available.
Key Players| John (A), Aporta(A), Brave (A)

KO is undefeated and would really have to screw up to miss the playoffs. The match against RM should be a fun one.

They got destroyed by DoF but thats no reason to panic. DoF is a very good team. Win out and make the playoffs.

PS got back into the playoff hunt after a surprising loss by handling NuB. They needed a win and they took care of business. They should be able to beat KO2 and put themselves in an advantageous position.

RMC needed a win week 2 and they got one. Whoever loses between them and NuB will most likely be knocked out of the playoffs. Very little room for error.

CL has been improving as the tournament has progressed. Unfortunately for them they run into a cav meatgrinder this week with RCC.
Key Players| Falmeer B+

These guys have a very tough matchup with RMC this week. On the plus side they only need 7 kills to double their team kill total. Attainable.

In the most surprising result in tournament history, the best players from a clan beat the other players from the same clan.
