I'm curious to see some tierlists for the upcoming VCT Americas. Teams on the left are better than teams on the right. Please share yours.
Tier S: LOUD NRG Leviatan
Tier A: FURIA 100T
Tier B: Sentinels
Tier C: EG MIBR C9
Tier D: KRU
i think youre overrating 100T. They looked so lost the entire tourney even against Fut and EDG which they should easily be able to clear with their players. Theyve thrown away so many strats and they have terrible coordination which was accentuated in the series against FNC. You cant put a team that lost 13-1 in the same tier and Sen who put up a fight on both maps and ESPECIALLY Furia who showed how theyre on the meta just like loud are
Consensus in general seems to be Loud, NRG, Leviatan, FURIA, 100T, Sentinels, EG, MIBR, KRU, C9, very similar to OP's original. I personally have FURIA a little lower and Sentinels a little higher. Almost everyone has the same top 6, so would any of EG/MIBR/KRU/C9 making it to playoffs be considered an upset? I don't think it's unlikely that one of them will, but I'm very curious as to see how these rankings will change by the end of the first few games.
Good point. I think that playoffs are a real possibility for MIBR and EG. 6 spots out of 10. Sentinels will take time to find some chemistry between the players. So, I am not expecting them to insta perfom well. I'm also expecting Marved to join the initial roster at some point , with Zekken leaving the team (most people believe that Deph is the one getting out). FURIA and 100T have great chance of giving upsets to LOUD, NRG and LEV. I really think MIBR will surprise us positively. There is no world KRU and C9 get playoffs with the current lineups.
