Waterfalls are the prettiest thing.
As we also do, we’ve compiled The People’s Rankings for this bracket. If this is your first time encountering The People’s Rankings, here’s how The People’s Rankings work:
- Take the champion (Waterfalls) and assign it a score of 100.
- For everything which lost to Waterfalls, calculate its score using ‘Score = 100 – M,’ where M is the margin of defeat, in percentage points.
- For everything which lost to a thing which lost to Waterfalls, calculate its score using ‘Score = Opponent’s Score – M/Opponent’s Score.’ Continue this for all the things until everything has a score.
Obviously, The People’s Rankings aren’t a perfect way to measure how these would stack up in a collective ranking. Votes are binary. They don’t account for enthusiasm. Still, it’s the best way to make Streams feel better about their first round exit we’ve figured out so far.
