Women’s Discussion
- The women’s division rankings were some of the harder ones to parse, with a few pool play results flipping on their heads in consolation. Moving Brute Squad to the top of the pile though? No brainer.
- Riot and BENT traded wins in a pair of universe point contests, but the edge went to Riot, who were triumphant in the pool play matchup. Both teams fell to Molly Brown however, who claimed the top of Pool D with two universe point wins of their own.
- Staying in Pool D, perhaps the most difficult team to place was Raleigh Phoenix. What do you do with a team that had a bad season and few wins at Nationals but is capable of playing Molly Brown to universe? They ultimately settle behind Flight, who beat Phoenix on Saturday as part of Philadelphia’s tear through the consolation bracket.
- The biggest rise in any division belongs to Northampton Starling. They upset Nightlock by just enough in pool play to earn a bracket spot in their first Nationals and nearly advanced to quarters in a tight game against 6ixers. The ledger may show some red, but their competitiveness – and better scorelines than Parcha against common opponents – net Starling a spot in the top 10.
- On the outside of the top 10 now are Flipside, who fell from seeded second in their pool to missing the bracket after a loss to Schwa and universe point win over Pop. Pop beat Schwa to complete the circle, and Flipside avenged the loss in consolation, but Schwa get the ranking nod based on the better pool play performance.

Men’s Discussion
- Ring of Fire see one of the biggest jumps in any division after their stunning run to a national title.
- Speaking of stunning, how about GOAT knocking off DiG in prequarters? It was one of only two wins for Toronto on the weekend, but the high ceiling paired with close losses to semifinalists spots them a healthy raise. Countrymates Mephisto are also up, rising above non-Nationals teams with a competitive, if winless, inaugural outing.
- The only pool four seed to make the bracket, Johnny Bravo also outperformed expectations. They continued their rise with a convincing win over Philadelphia Pacmen, once again showcasing Bravo’s flair for success in the latter stages of Nationals.
- The team Bravo knocked off to make the bracket? Seattle Sockeye. The fish had a tough weekend, only securing wins over the bottom seeds despite finishing with a positive score differential.

Mixed Discussion
- There’s no new #1 in the mixed division, but Polar Bears do knock off XIST for second billing, just as they did in San Diego.
- With only losses to XIST and Hybrid, AMP claim the final spot in the Top 5. They slot above a Drag’n Thrust team that started flaming hot, going undefeated in pool play with a win over Polar Bears, only to lose out following a quarterfinal bout with Disco Club.
- Speaking of hot, Scorch followed the trend of first-time Nationals teams heating up the complex, as they climbed from an initial fifteenth seed to quarters, where they played XIST within two. Oregon finish the season inside our Top 10 for the first time.
- Lotus won the rematch of the Southwest backdoor bracket, beating Tower and Burrito in back-to-back games before falling to Scorch in the Pro Flight play in. Tower took a shocking tumble in pool play, seeded at the top but going 0-3 to miss the bracket. To their credit, Pool C was the only one to produce three quarterfinalists, and despite the drop Tower remain in our top 10.
- Toro and Union are up inside the top 15 after both scored solid consolation wins. Toro in particular impressed in close losses to top teams in Slow, Disco, and AMP.
