Bloodlust Battlegroup took the #1 spot last week to every ones expectations, but will they be able to hold #1 this week? TeamPandemic falling almost out of the Top 10 with poor play this week could hurt Bloodlust by next week unless they turn it around. Nightfall held strong at #2 last week but rumors have it they could be losing their #1 team to Bloodlust which will completely nuke them to the bottom of these rankings. Keep reading to find out more!
Information taken from Top 10 Teams only on each battle group.
Average Rating Per Top10 Teams: To determine the battlegroup rating I simply calculated the top 10 team's rating from each battle group's and added that together with the amount of matches those teams played to get their 'Battlegroup Rating'
Rank - Battlegroup - AverageRating - GP - Battlegroup Rating - Gain
1) BLOODLUST - 2267.1 - 2159 - 4426.1 (+529.8)
2) RAMPAGE - 2222.8 - 2178 - 4400.8 (+645.7)
3) VENGEANCE - 2218.1 - 2179 - 4397.1 (+634.6)
4) VINDICATION - 2208.8 - 2106 - 4314.8 (+605.2)
5) NIGHTFALL - 2181.1 - 2034 - 4215.1 (+391.8)
6) SHADOWBURN - 2175.4 - 1998 - 4173.4 (+588)
7) STORMSTRIKE - 2214 - 1773 - 3987 (+512.3)

11) RUIN - 2192 - 1425 - 3617 (-103.7)
12) EMBERSTORM - 2006.7 - 1471 - 3477.7 (+460.2)
13) RETALIATION - 2042.2 - 1416 - 3458.2 (N/A)
Overview: Bloodlust barely holds the lead while their poster team TeamPandemic is falling quickly down the Top 10 ranks, from 2nd to 7th. Last week Bloodlust led by 73 Rating, this week it has been dwindled down to 26. Closely snipping at Bloodlust's heels is Rampage and Vengeance who were ranked 4th and 3rd last week. Rampage's burst up the ladder came from some unexpected play from TeamEG who was ranked outside the Top 50 in the US now shot up to 10th with 2300 rating, as well as great play from the Cho'Gall server. Vengeance who had just an impressive week is being fueled by We lose cuz Daorok sux, who has shot up 400 rating since the last rankings were released, their server Korgath also holds the majority of the top spots helping bring BG rating up. Trounce the #1 team in the US for the past two weeks has helped bring their Battleground Stormstrike up to 7th from 10th, moving it out of the bottom tier to a mid tier Battleground now. Last weeks #2 ranked Battleground Nightfall has dropped all the way down to 5th, and with rumors that their #1 team CAPSLOCKCREW will be transferring they will most likely keep going down. Almost every server had a good week gaining this week except for Ruin the only Battleground to drop rating.
Be sure to check back next week to see if Bloodlust can maintain its narrow lead, and if Vengeance and Ramage will duel it out for the #1 Ranked Battlegroup.

Team Pandemic dropped cause Noktyn didnt eat his donuts for breakfast
No offense to you but you write these blogs with no real insight to what's actually going on in the battlegroups. Ratings mean jack from battlegroup to battlegroup and some of these teams probably wouldn't even be top 5 in some of the more competitive battlegroups. Don't think because a team has a high rating they should be considered a top team.
What Koorban said, you can't judge a how good a certain team is just by looking at their rating. If the #1 ranked team in Bloodlust fell out of the top 10 ranked teams across the world it doesn't mean that their battlegroup suddenly got worse.
While it's true that teampandemic lost alot of points you need to keep in mind that they played with Kintt's crappy geared dwarfpriest. Check their rating now when Kintt's back on his main female priest ;)
"Last weeks #2 ranked Battleground Nightfall has dropped all the way down to 5th, and with rumors that their #1 team CAPSLOCKCREW will be transferring they will most likely keep going down."
CAPSLOCKCREW already finished transferring to Bloodlust and their current rating is 2309.
Don't take my post as a big flame either. I would just like for you to try to get more insight before you just make assumptions based on ratings. I like the idea of what you're doing to be honest but you have to expand on it.
CAPSLOCKCREW's rating was updated with their old battleground this week not their new.
As for the comments about me not knowing or needing to 'expand more' I don't know shit about any of these BG's except for one and I wont say which, so all my posts are FACTs followed by speculation.
99% of the time I dont know who the BG is or who the person is, this is a solo opperating and for me to find out all that stuff wouldn't change how this site is done. Every post has some sort of mathematical calculation followed by speculation, if you dont like to read my 'bullsh1t' then stop reading once I start my speculation.
As for these rankings there is no way to prove which bg is the 'best' or 'most competitive' these simply show what quality of teams are playing and how much, thats it.
You don't have to get all defensive lol I'm just trying to give you an honest opinion that would help. Unless you want to have the credibility of Ming perhaps you should consider more then just well since Team X is Rating X they are awesome!
Koorban,
Chillax man. This ranking is for entertainment purposes and not an encyclopedia, wikipedia or box score of team rankings.
Just enjoy the fact that someone is adding a bit of spice to the soup and quit criticizing the cook.
The comparison's to Ming are just wrong too. Not cool, not cool at all.

That's me!
Arenablogmaster, personally i've noticed from last season that sometimes some battlegroups top 10 might be high ratings, and ranks 11-20 have a noticeable gap between the top ratings... and other battlegroups might not have as high top 10 rated teams, but a smaller gap between all the teams of top 20.. if that makes sense?
Example.. Battlegroup A) Has teams all 2450-2300 in top 10, and the 11-20 teams are like 2200-2100.. opposed to maybe Battlegroup B) Having every team in top 20 above 2225 but no higher 2385... follow what i'm saying or not really? Tbh I don't really know what i'm getting at but maybe judging all the battlegroups based off top 25 teams instead of 10... some battlegroups have a much larger fluxuation.
It might be a little more accurate, since it is off.. well purely statistics and not other life conflicting issues, ex: "trying benchwarmers, experimenting, people disconecting.. etc"
I like this blog btw! I saw a link from World of Papas blog! <3 Kudos!
"these simply show what quality of teams are playing and how much"
Just curious but how exactly does it show the quality of the team(s)?
You can't compare ranking across battlegroups to determine who's the best arena team in the world. It's just pointless (and stupid).
I agree with top 10 being too little, for example if you look at BG10, Kute Kuddly Kittens has nearly 400 games played, according to how you calculate "competitiveness", if they make it up to top 10, BG10 would get boosted by a lot. Maybe top 20 or even 50 is more realistic?
You can't really judge a battlegroup by it's top 10 teams either. The best teams are going to be top wherever they play, just look at Ohnoes and CAPSLOCKCREW. I really think you need to look at the middle teams, not the best ones. The average team is what defines a battlegroup. A 1900 team from a shitty battlegroup might not even break 1600 on a competitive battlegroup. It's not the highest skilled players that make a competitive battlegroup, it's the quantity of skilled players.
Who wants to bet a top 50 team on BG9 can probably make top 10 on another other battlegroup?
This blog has great potential, though, and I'd like to hear what you have to say about my reply.
if you look at bg9, AvantGarde has almost 400 games played too... ook at bg2, same thing with Smooth, over 300 games played... Team Dificators from bg1 over 300 played... etc
none of these are in top 10 of their bgs, but if they make top 10, it'd totally change their "battlegroup rating"
"I agree with top 10 being too little, for example if you look at BG10, Kute Kuddly Kittens has nearly 400 games played, according to how you calculate "competitiveness", if they make it up to top 10, BG10 would get boosted by a lot. Maybe top 20 or even 50 is more realistic?"
Those teams are indirectly accounted for in the rankings, if they play any of the "top 10 teams" by just making their games played go up or even their rating. If a BG's top 10 is consisted of teams that dodge high ranked teams each week then their ranking wont be accurate but if those are the top10 teams in your bg then maybe you should provide more quality teams.
The reason I chose 10 is for simplistic reasons, I could probably manage to do 15 or 20 with out tearing my hair out any more then that would be exteremely annoying and honestly I do not believe the rankings will change at all they would stay relatively the same - thus the reason I chose 10.
Since there has been a lot of complaining about this thread chances are I will probably discontinue it next week, we will see.
You people that take everything on this site 100% are fools, and probably believe everything the media feeds to you on a daily basis.
1. Lighten up this site is just for fun.
2. If you dont like what your reading, simple, DONT READ.
3. I will say things to spark debates and make people mad, I like nothing better then to Piss off people and push buttons, so try not to get too offended when I make bad light of your team.
I was just trying to help suggest some things to help better the already entertaining webpage. No need to get super defensive at criticism! I'm pretty sure you knew you'd get some smart ass responses when you made this page! Anyways, I think top 20 might be a little more accurate, while the change might not be drastic.. I think it would be better overall if it's not too much trouble, besides... some teams could be 3 or 4th, and possibly face a counter team consecutive times in a row and drop 80 rating on a sunday or monday night and be like 14th! Idk i'm just trying to give some constructive criticism.. not trying to piss you off rofl, personally I don't care either.
Anyways, I enjoy the site and keep up the good work!

yeah chill man, was just giving some constructive criticism as well :) i really like the site, hope you keep it up... but do listen to our opinions >_<
Stop reading so much into it. He used an equation which was clearly explained in his post and then posted the results of the equation. The rest is all his own opinion.
personally i think you should level a toon to 70 in every battlegroup, have a friend level a toon to 70 in every battlegroup, and 2v2 with him and see what ur rating is after 100 games. this is obviously the simplest way.
I found this site using [url=http://google.com]google.com[/url] And i want to thank you for your work. You have done really very good site. Great work, great site! Thank you!
