RRQ too high

no way SEN only at 7th

C9 obviously above Lnatic

NAVI?

PigExe [#5]

NAVI?

they are 3

nrg way too low.
top 5 team imo

RickyIndian [#3]

no way SEN only at 7th

No one believes like you

people actually think that secret is better than rrq?

capital_d_colon [#7]

nrg way too low.
top 5 team imo

they had 2 3rd place votes so you aren't the only one thinking this

RRQ way too low. youre literally just ranking the org not the team

kaesra [#9]

people actually think that secret is better than rrq?

they got just under half of the last place votes (8) the next highest total last place votes was 2

not_smart_user [#11]

RRQ way too low. youre literally just ranking the org not the team

i didn't rank RRQ last, this is the combination of multiple ballots

VinsmokeLaw [#13]

i didn't rank RRQ last, this is the combination of multiple ballots

ohh i see my bad. its unreliable then. a lot of ppl hate this org so it make sense for it to place like that. there's clearly bias n shit its not objective

not_smart_user [#14]

ohh i see my bad. its unreliable then. a lot of ppl hate this org so it make sense for it to place like that. there's clearly bias n shit its not objective

I mean there is nothing but how the org is perceived to rank teams right now, it's not like many have played. Ofcourse the org that many think got a warning from Riot for mishandling things is going to be ranked last.

fair enough

PRX should be AT LEAST top 5 idc go argue with the wall

Leviatán too low

adilKhan [#17]

PRX should be AT LEAST top 5 idc go argue with the wall

i had them 4 on my ballot but a LOT of people are really high on Liquid + Sen + 100T so they got pushed down a bunch

Geck0 [#18]

Leviatán too low

their placement was the biggest fluctuater so it doesn't shock me they ended up 12

adilKhan [#17]

PRX should be AT LEAST top 5 idc go argue with the wall

They got grouped in Champs so yeah not many believers.

honestly Team Liquid shouldn't be above DRX based on recent performances.

bakabakaisthebaka [#23]

honestly Team Liquid shouldn't be above DRX based on recent performances.

fr bro, there's no way tl is above drx

Apart from some minor changes it's a pretty good list

bakabakaisthebaka [#23]

honestly Team Liquid shouldn't be above DRX based on recent performances.

Tl is signing nats,redgar and sayf. They have an actual world class igl with them along with 2 of the best players in emea

GreyDaze [#26]

Tl is signing nats,redgar and sayf. They have an actual world class igl with them along with 2 of the best players in emea

ofc that can play a huge role. we won't know until they actually start playing and producing the results tho

TL solos this

Vividogre [#25]

Apart from some minor changes it's a pretty good list

yeah i think the people gave a solid enough list. I would say nobody is like over 4 places off their actual placements

bakabakaisthebaka [#23]

honestly Team Liquid shouldn't be above DRX based on recent performances.

agreed, i had DRX 2

queueK [#31]

there is no curse we are not cursed there is no curse we are not cursed there is no curse we are not cursed there is no curse we are not cursed there is no

Fnatic not getting top 4 at kickoff might solidify the curse

EG should be last place

Switch Fnatic and Mibr
Then maybe we have a decent list

Where did people vote for this?

This is unacceptable. DRX is not 5th, and certainly not less than team liquid...

misssscchhh [#2]

RRQ too high

56 delusional people is 56 too many.

lev 13th? bruh
7th minimun

VinsmokeLaw [#30]

agreed, i had DRX 2

So delusional

bakabakaisthebaka [#23]

honestly Team Liquid shouldn't be above DRX based on recent performances.

Lmao how do you judge the “recent performance” of a team that has not played together yet? This is all based on random guesses

MarcoDaPacoca [#38]

lev 13th? bruh
7th minimun

Common na and eu underrating latam

The shitnatic cycle continues 😂

i like this list
maybe fnc and c9b overrated

but the giants koi levi nrg placements are REALLY SOLID and shows that there are some other smart ppl in vlr

rrq too low

Leviatan 12th and FLUKEnatic first LOOL

Mortadelo [#40]

Lmao how do you judge the “recent performance” of a team that has not played together yet? This is all based on random guesses

im not gonna lie, i forgot that TL was rebuilding their roster. Ofc for now we have to see how their new roster works together and the results they bring. The addition of nats, redgar and sayf might allow them to go further into the vct seasons then we have seen them accomplish before. But for now i stand by my opinion that DRX should be ranked higher.

unknown_trash [#36]

This is unacceptable. DRX is not 5th, and certainly not less than team liquid...

Tl have nats,redgar and sayf. They are a top team for sure. I am not saying they will be above drx but calling it "unacceptable" is low-balling tl

5 apac teams at the bottom 😔

bakabakaisthebaka [#46]

Fair enough

Liquid #1 500

do people really think RRQ was that bad or they just hate the org?

RickyIndian [#3]

no way SEN only at 7th

No Shazam= 7th
With Shazam = 30th

bakabakaisthebaka [#23]

honestly Team Liquid shouldn't be above DRX based on recent performances.

Nats > Whole DRX

Jaox-101 [#51]

do people really think RRQ was that bad or they just hate the org?

BOTH

giant over global or talon?

this shit is rigged. too many delusional EU frogs

Prx should be 6th while 100t should go under NRG

capital_d_colon [#7]

nrg way too low.
top 5 team imo

I think they have potential to be top 5, but I think they will start up pretty average and start getting better the more they play with each other

capital_d_colon [#7]

Yeah, I agree. Drx should be higher than teams like liquid and nrg, since they have the same strong roster while these teams are full of strong players who haven't play with each other enough yet to outclass team like drx.

Valgod [#39]

So delusional

Explain how?

jeet24 [#53]

Nats > Whole DRX

Sadly not true

Brain_Needle482 [#61]

Sadly not true

Kind of is. The only one who I can say is better than nats rn in drx is mako

GreyDaze [#47]

Tl have nats,redgar and sayf. They are a top team for sure. I am not saying they will be above drx but calling it "unacceptable" is low-balling tl

Tbh we actually don't know if tl will be better than tl, we need to see them play. (Having good players isn't enough to be a strong team)

GreyDaze [#62]

Kind of is. The only one who I can say is better than nats rn in drx is mako

Imo that not true

TOXICGAS [#54]

BOTH

Im not a liar but the rrq roster can sht on all KR teams except drx. Mark my words, not even cappin

Brain_Needle482 [#65]

Imo that not true

Well u do u

This should not be called "power rankings" it should be "who has more clout and hype" team

Blanc_cataloq [#68]

This should not be called "power rankings" it should be "who has more clout and hype" team

it is pre-season power rankings, ofcourse it's based off hype lol

ItsMeDio [#55]

giant over global or talon?

this shit is rigged. too many delusional EU frogs

guess people believe in that G2 core

danii1 [#56]

Prx should be 6th while 100t should go under NRG

This isn't ranked by me, it's a combination of all the ballots that people submitted

EU would get shit on in 2023

KyLZi [#35]

Where did people vote for this?

https://forms.gle/amctZeHsJZMnpqz6A here you go

Germanium [#72]

EU would get shit on in 2023

will*

MarcoDaPacoca [#38]

lev 13th? bruh
7th minimun

Yeah they are super underrated on here, some people had them super high but some had them way underrated so they settled at 13.

You can submit a proposal if you'd like tho https://forms.gle/amctZeHsJZMnpqz6A

sentinelmain377 [#43]

i like this list
maybe fnc and c9b overrated

but the giants koi levi nrg placements are REALLY SOLID and shows that there are some other smart ppl in vlr

people were loving Koi, i think they will be good but was shocked they went over relatively proven rosters like Zeta and Lev

VinsmokeLaw [#69]

it is pre-season power rankings, ofcourse it's based off hype lol

Your title is misleading... lol

Blanc_cataloq [#77]

Your title is misleading... lol

no it isn't I never mentioned this was based on current roster results, it's the first version of a power ranking list

Blanc_cataloq [#66]

Im not a liar but the rrq roster can sht on all KR teams except drx. Mark my words, not even cappin

You already lied that you weren't a liar :P

Fnactics are the valorant chokers

team with 3 world champions - 10th

team with yay and 4 ok players - second

symbols07 [#63]

i have seen more worse curses. regular top 5 team itw is decent COPIUM

top 5 meaning constantly 4th or 5th :)

Good that ppl sleeping on Global .

VinsmokeLaw [#76]

people were loving Koi, i think they will be good but was shocked they went over relatively proven rosters like Zeta and Lev

Zeta is a fkn fluke. KOI >>>>>>>
LEV is debatable tho

Karmine Corp will be top ten at least !

sentinelmain377 [#84]

Zeta is a fkn fluke. KOI >>>>>>>
LEV is debatable tho

You can say Zeta is a fluke all you want but they have some things that other teams including KOI have. First, they have consistency and chemistry alongside one another, secondly they have high stakes Lan experience, and finally they have talented players who can frag out. They got grouped with LOUD and Optic at Champs and now people think they are flukes lol

Skuul13 [#81]

team with 3 world champions - 10th

team with yay and 4 ok players - second

I mean losing 2 of your players and your coach is a big detriment. I agree C9 is overrated but there is reason to be not as high on LOUD

When will u do v2?

Brain_Needle482 [#60]

Explain how?

Drx was never good but they will be good after so many teams got better?

sleeek [#88]

When will u do v2?

I'll do V2 right before the kickoff tournament since we will likely see a lot of the teams play together by then. You can still fill out your vote and check the live data on the Google sheet, this is just the finalized list for V1 so that we could discuss it without changes being made.

Here is the form: https://forms.gle/hDYSZykxduBSZqUo9

And the sheet with the data is in the original comment

Oh I see, I still think that people are overrating 100T a bit too much, but you could say the same about Paper Rex. I just think that 100T losing Sean might downgrade them a bit. But I think they have big potential with Cryo, I just think that for now, 100T shouldn't be higher than many of these superteams

Detonation too low imo, but then again they are a new team

jeet24 [#52]

No Shazam= 7th
With Shazam = 30th

i agree partially. with ratzam, they are 29th because 30th is reserved for argh argh que

Valgod [#89]

Drx was never good but they will be good after so many teams got better?

Never good yet still came 3rd and almost made it to gf

danii1 [#91]

100T losing Seaan is being way overblown, it's not like they are getting a new coach and blowing the system up. Mikes was there and is just continuing what him and Sean built

Fnatic OMEGALUL

Luck_ [#93]

i agree partially. with ratzam, they are 29th because 30th is reserved for argh argh que

Benched Ratzam 29th

The Fnatic memes are going to be crazy if they don't win anything this year

VinsmokeLaw [#98]

The Fnatic memes are going to be crazy if they don't win anything this year

Again you mean right? Cause every single year, I see this shit of people keep putting Fnatic at the top and they do pretty badly...
