S - FNC
A - PAPER REX, EG
B - LOUD, NRG, TL, NAVI, GIANTS, FUT, KRU
C - DRX, EDG
D - Rest of the teams

Actually, I'm not that upset with this

fartnels [#5]

what would u change

either NRG and TL higher, or PRX lower; the PRX and TL games were both really close

1. FNC (They just won Masters)
2. PRX (Went to game 5 against EG with a sub)
3. NRG (Being placed in the same group as FNC allows them to go further in the tournament without facing them)
4. EG (Good showing at Tokyo, might face FNC or PRX early plus second place curse)
5. EDG (Strong performances in recent scrims)
6. DRX (Underrated imo, everyone they lost to at tokyo were in the top 4)
7. TL (Good roster, just need to work on mid rounding imo)
8. Bilibili Gaming (They had a decently close Bo5 with EDG despite EDG having a two map ban advantage, map 4 went OT and could've resulted in a 5 map series.)
9. Loud (piss showing at tokyo, plus their star player isn't scrimming with them.)
10. T1
11. Zeta
12. KRU (I feel like I need to see more from them to rank them higher imo)
13. FUT
14. Giants
15. NAVI (Tough group, they look the worst in Group D)
16. FPX (Ain't no way)

Selfim [#8]

EDG higher
FUT and NAVI lower

Navi is smashing everyone on scrims, i agree with edg higher tho

Where is this scrim data?

Nachtel [#10]

either NRG and TL higher, or PRX lower; the PRX and TL games were both really close

But PRX played with sub, i'm assuming that they will do even better now with Something, but u are right about NRG

the whole point of power ranking is to exclude groups

Scrims don't mean crap, optic had a 30% winrate last year in scrims. And this year apparently sen beat everyone in scrims, (including NRG and possible EG) and look how they turned out

2. zeta and kru definitely are not better than tl and drx
3. blg > fpx
4. T1 underrated
5. I feel like loud isn't that good rn

SquareMars [#21]

???

sorry my initial reply was that they had drx twice in their list lmao

acels2 [#28]

how tf is blg 8th 😂😂

I'm assuming that you are known as a homo sapien and can read basic english, I would suggest rereading the parentheses next to that team before mindlessly replying.

1. FNC (S+)
2. PRX (S)
3. NRG (A)
4. EG (A)
5. EDG (A)
6. LOUD (A)
7. TL (A)

Wtf NAVI > NRG???

SquareMars [#25]

Can you send a screenshot or something?

no but ange1 also mentioned that a important businessman would guarantee Navi's results on champs, thats all i can say for now

SquareMars [#27]

fucking copium as per every navi fan

slasher have to be that leaker

1. FUT esports
2. The rest

fartnels [#24]

i don't have the scrims stats, just dms with leakers

haha. funny data man.

1. Fnatic (Because Lock in, Masters)
2. PRX (Because top 3 with a sub is crazy and 5 maps against EG is.. huh?? + Something confirmed)
3. EG (Top 2 Masters, rivaled Fnatic but fell short. Also 5 maps vs PRX with a sub shows some weaknesses)
4. NRG (Top 4 Masters, beat Liquid. Lost vs PRX with a sub which to be fair also beat a hot form EDG)
5. EDG (Top 6 Masters. Close maps vs Liquid, won against Loud. Choked against PRX.)
6. Loud (Number 1 in Americas. Even though they 3-0'd NRG, still showed weaker performances vs EG and EDG)
7. TL (The only team to ever beat Fnatic this year. Choked vs NRG. Won against a strong EDG)
8. DRX (Just a drop in form recently but has potential to still be that strong team that has always dominated APAC)
9. T1 (Close maps vs NRG. Very very close maps vs PRX and DRX. Has potential to perform better than top 6 of this list)
10. FUT (Was good in playoffs of EMEA but lost against weak DRX and dropping a map against ASE is sad)
11. KRU (Won LCQ with the hardest possible scenario ever, from the bottom of the pack)
12. ZETA (Good LCQ performance. Won against TS that beat DRX and PRX)
13. Giants (Good LCQ performance though the teams they were beating were nowhere near top quality. KC and Navi has been atrocious)
14. Navi (I actually had hopes for them but old man Ange1 seems tired and Copenhagen memories are fading away + grouped in Tokyo)
15. BLG (I don't know much about them. Is whzy on the team? Can he do a Kangkang? Can the whole team pull an EDG?)
16. FPX (Another unknown. Seems weak though.)

#1 Zeta division
#2-16 who cares

fartnels [#5]

what would u change

T1, FUT, KRU in C.
NAVI, GIANTS in D.
DRX on B.
EDG and NRG on A.

fartnels [#3]

S - FNC
A - PAPER REX, EG
B - LOUD, NRG, TL, NAVI, GIANTS, FUT, KRU
C - DRX, EDG
D - Rest of the teams

Bro KRU and Navi lower. Navi are garbage and Kru don't have as good mechanical skills as other teams. Watch their vods and highlights and compare them to vods/highlights from top tier teams at Tokyo. Also EDG higher. They will beat Kru in group.

kru wasnt doing that good before the lcq started tbf, they were doing great a month ago

Did you watch the Chinese qualifier? Because if you didn't I don't know why you're talking.

horse69 [#29]

1. you forgot to put 1 infront of navi's ranking
2. zeta and kru definitely are not better than tl and drx
3. blg > fpx
4. T1 underrated
5. I feel like loud isn't that good rn

T1 underrated pepelaugh

I feel like the hardest teams to evaluate are those from the LCQ (GIANTS, KRU, ZETA), underperforming teams last year (LOUD, NAVI, DRX, T1) and Chinese teams new to the scene (BLG, FPX).

KRU, Giants and ZETA may have had a near flawless run in the LCQ but we won't know if they've really stepped up or if other LCQ teams are just mid.

SS: FNC
S: PRX, EG, TL
A: NRG, EDG, LOUD, DRX, NAVI
B: T1, FUT

??: KRU, GIANTS, ZETA, BLG, FPX

Yeah, the LCQ teams are really unpredictable to an extent, like KRU going negative in the regular season but making it out of LCQ. Really hard to put them side-by-side with others

Nachtel [#10]

either NRG and TL higher, or PRX lower; the PRX and TL games were both really close

we'll see. maybe you need to see something gameplay
