MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS AND POWER RANKINGS

I believe the stylistic differences in the regions can play out very interestingly. I am mainly going to go through the major regions in which I believe to be the best which is EU, NA, and BR. KR is a formidable region but I see their mid rounding play to be too weak and their strategic gameplay to be too "textbook" but they have shown glimmers so imma just put them smack in the middle. This is just my opinion and let me know if you have any other thoughts. This is just my opinion :)

I think it's going to go down like this. EU's defaulty tactical style will quell the puggy more reactive style of NA. However, NA's more retaky style and its ability to take down overly aggressive teams in the past such as V1 and Sentinels vs Faze. But I think Brazil's pure mechanical prowess and their aggressive style of play will be able to topple down the strategic play of EU. Essentially I think it's going to be a rock paper scissors match-up. Overall I think EU is the strongest as they have that mechanical skill that can match up to NA's and EU's and they have shown a wider and more flexible way of play.

1. Liquid
2. Sentinels
3. Fnatic
4. Vikings
5. Nuturn
6. V1
7. Sharks

Honestly I agree with this list but just because Im from NA I would say that Sentinels win.

Agree with the list as well. I believe the top 5 are the main contenders at winning and a strong showing from any could have them win it all.

I think you did not watch the Vikings and Sharks games to make this statement, both are teams that know how to play aggressive but this is not the main condition of victory. Vikings play a tactical game enhanced by obtaining information from Sova and Sentinel, Sharks plays based on probabilities.

yeah, i fear the Nuturn the most because their game is very based on intelligence or information

The style of the Sharks is aggressive, but the Vikings play based on information and more similar with European style.

Yes, I agree with this statement but I can't help but feel as if the European teams are more refined than Vikings but who knows? There is no basis to anything until we see iceland
