The season has finally come to a close.
All six teams who have automatically qualified for the playoffs have been set and will take a week off as teams compete in the play-in tournament.
The six teams in the play-in tournament have also been set. Despite not playing in the final weekend, the Hunters held onto their spot as the final team to make the play-in tournament.
As the season closes, so do the power rankings. This is the final edition of this year's power rankings.
So what are the team's final placements in Scrub's OWL Power Rankings?

to the brink of defeat, the Shock held on and maintained their undefeated stage. Their dominance in this stage was powered in large part by the heroics of
Rascal
and
ChoiHyoBin
, further establishing just how strong the Shock roster is. Just about any of their starting six players were deserving of an MVP nomination prior to the start of Stage 4, but these two have been making a case that maybe they should have been nominated over their teammates.

The only other time that has happened this season is when the Titans and Shock both did it in Stage 2 (the Shock didn't lose a single map that stage).

need an enormous rebound after finishing 1-6 in Stage 4. I'd like to say they are better off when they put
diem
into the lineup, but that is clearly not making any difference as they continue to lose regardless of who plays alongside
DDing
. While I would say they should maybe experiment with playing
YoungJIN
and diem as their DPS combo, I'm not sure either can play Mei. Their best bet is to hope the play-in tournament's patch changes the meta enough that their DPS are on heroes they're more comfortable with.
