The OCE Power Rankings - 06/03 - 15/03
These Power Rankings are done by a committee of 4 people consisting of:
Former player with extensive knowledge of the OCE Scene.
Analyst & Commentator for AussieGamingTV.
Rocket League addict.
Director of Public Relations for Rocket League Oceania and budding global Twitch mod.
Weekly Round Up
It’s finally here! The Oceanic Series RLCS qualifier has been officially announced where the top 2 attend the World Championship. Sign ups will open between 10am AEDT March 19th to 11:59pm AEDT March 26th. In light of the news it seems like the shuffling is slowing down to a halt. Still some minor changes, however the expectation is that more teams will be forming rather than splitting up or players leaving. Exciting times ahead as general community participation is growing with anticipation of the largest tournament in Oceanic Rocket League history. On a side note, the Power Rankings committee have decided to change the ranking week we base our releases off. Instead of Monday-Sunday, it will now be Thursday-Wednesday, to better reflect the current climate of the scene.

Rankings
1 - Alpha Sydney
Drippay, Jake the Tyrant, Torsos | Nil movement
Steadfast, resilient, infallible. Alpha Sydney with a flawless extended week, undefeated across all events and beating 7 out of the other 9 teams in the top 10. The powerhouse is utterly untouchable right now, and with their rivals JAM Gaming recently undergoing a significant roster change it’s unlikely that they’ll be facing challenge any time soon. - n0lsk1
2 - Athletico
Dumbo, Aoe_emp, Lukorice | + 1
Athletico have had a good string of strong results over the last few weeks, without even having to use SnarfSnarf as a fill-in. With an emphatic double smashing of Scylla as well as beating the slightly disappointing Masterminds, they will hold the second spot on the PR for this week. They will most definitely have some stronger opposition coming up in the next few weeks of CyberGamer and ESL AU&NZ so will have a lot to work on should they start to slip at any stage. - Nutterres
3 - JAM Gaming
MontyConnor, Bango, Express | - 1
This was a tough decision as Athletico and Jam are very close right now. Jam are still coming together as a cohesive group with Express as the new addition. They are still playing consistently well, just the loss to Trident tipped the scales for me. They are yet to have an opportunity against the OCE powerhouses with this new lineup except with the 2-4 loss to Alpha Sydney in the Go4RL Cup. Next week they face MastermindsGC in the ESL AU&NZ Championship. They have a rough run home though in the last 3 weeks with Alpha Sydney, Athletico and Legacy. This is a team that should be present at the finals, just what seed they take through is the question. - Tibore
4 - 1More
Cyrix, Shadey, Ellusive, Zest, Stoney | Nil movement
With Express leaving for JAM Gaming, it seems the ex-SSU eSports roster is making a silent comeback under the banner of 1More. Nonetheless the partnership of Cyrix and Shadey is a naturally formidable one and while it may take some time before working through any instabilities, don’t expect it to take very long. Aside from Alpha Sydney, they only showed a weakness against The Rejects this ranking period, losing unexpectedly. As time goes on they’ll be able to iron these issues out. - n0lsk1
5 (tied) - Legacy eSports
Soma, Eren, GroovyGrape, Penor, ENiGMA | Nil movement
Legacy are sitting rather nicely in 5th position, even with some slightly lacklustre performances over the last couple of weeks. Losing to 1More and Alpha Sydney in the AU&NZ Champs leaves them sitting mid table for ESL, however strong performances in Cybergamer beating out The Rejects and the lower ranked Masterminds prove that they are still a strong team on their day. With RLCS registrations announced I would be expecting these boys to really pull something out of the bag and hopefully begin impressing us once again. - Nutterres
