Ok i get that they wont go to Iceland but how are they ranked #14 and are below Soniqs, Renegades and TSM ??
its simple XSET always qualifies in double elim brackets and lose twice there... then gets directly placed in next double elim directly without getting loads of wins in open qualis... so they have more losses than wins compared to other teams, since they almost always lose before double elims , they get a bunch of wins and lose only once in open qualifiers.... also soniqs and renegades have been dominating nerdstgamers tourneys.... you can just go through recent history of all these teams and see thier win to loss ratio and you will find out why xset is lower.... All in All you shouldnt consider vlr rankings as true rankings as they are kinda like valorant ranked.. there are always some immortals better than radiants... these rankings depends on who wins more games...
