For America
Only one I can say they are better than is mibr but with heat they had some close matches against loud and kru and won against nrg so we never know but without heat guard is better. And rest are 50/50 depend on the day.
For EMEA
I think only guard can beat KC and heretics easily. Bbl are kinda good and I would favour guard in that matchup. Won't talk about vit as they dont have a full roster right now. Rest should be 50/50
For Pacific
They might 13-0 dfm but after that I am not sure. Alot of Pacific teams are inconsistent so it's hard to say for Pacific. Ge Vs guard favourite is guard but if moneyt and texture have a good game when they usually have they can take the win. Geng is also hit and miss. Pacific is probably the most 50/50 yet.
So the conclusion: guard is better than dfm KC mibr and heretics with their eyes close.
What teams are guard clearly better?
bro i think the invisible line between tier 1 and tier 2 made everyone think tier 2 teams are slightly worse than tier 1 for absolutely no reason, i dont even gonna use stats because you only have to witness the matches to realize how good they are and i think they could 100% make playoffs if they competed this year, on the other hand we have no clue how the teams are going to be next year so i dont know but i guess they could do great enough to make playoffs still depending on who the teams pick up.
bobkiller [#6]lowkey they might not beat kc
if scream and nivera are having a good day, they just cant be stopped
but there was some games where scream and nivera had insane game and still lost. shin or xms needs to perform too sadly

they can make playoff but i wont say they are favourite to make playoff :>
cosmic_________ [#9]you guys are crazily underrating the guard
the tier 1 scene isnt bad. zekken on a good day can solo win against guard. and theres a reason why kru and lev was in the grand final of lcq
