My Pacific ascension power rankings

1. BOOM Esports - Really strong core that has been playing together for years and were pretty close last year except that choke to bleed on haven
2. Full Sense - pretty much same reason as boom, solid veteran talent and cracked young players like johnolsen and leviathan should go crazy
3. DSG - probably the most cracked team in terms of mechanics, worried that they won't be able to run over the top talent at this tourney with double duelist every map

4. RIDDLE ORDER - incredible run from them in split 2, however I do think japan tier 2 is not as strong compared to some other regions (home crowd buff tho)
5. NAOS - (assuming they win) been very dominant in their region all year and had a good showing at last years ascension
6. SIN PRISA GAMING - extremely dominant showing from them in split 2 however other then persia not too familiar with their talent
7. JFT - They play simple yet effective valorant however incorporating iso into most maps could be their biggest strength or weakness. murza and andy cracked aimers

8. Revenant Esports - IMO the best talent SA has sent to an international they should get their win this event but not much else
9. Rapid Lofi - excited too see some new talent coming out Vietnam however seems like some inexperienced players
10. Oblivion Force - They kinda got here by default since ONE team threw by running a 7 man roster or something but still players like coconut and uta should hold their own

Overall take this with a grain of salt as I'm unable to watch every single one of these teams play all their matches. I really think 1-3 and 4-7 could be in any order that's how close I think these teams are. Just wanna see a competitive and fun tourney :D (also wanted to add I really hate this years format, last years was perfect why'd they change it ?)

SPG did not lose a single game for the entirety of Split 2, they've been dominant in Korea.
And this year has proven how good tier 2 KR talent can be.
Last year's Dplus was a way weaker roster than this year's Dplus. Also I think many KR fans knew they would underperform at Ascension given they have a history of choking. Regardless, they were the only team to beat BLEED at the tournament and they 2-0ed them at that.

I hope to god you're wrong and SPG doesn't choke due to inexperience. I really believe in them.

seems like the ranking is more heavily based on whether you are familiar with them or not because Naos over SPG, and riddle at number 4 is a bit questionable

If naos fix their comp issues, they can reach top 4 or 3 atleast, Papichulo can carry this team to playoffs but he needs the rest of his team to be comfortable if they want to make a deeper run though

I've watched some more SPG after I posted this and I agree I should've put them a little higher (probably 4 or 5). I like how they're pushing the meta forward but like i said in the post 4-7 is completely interchangeable in my opinion.

im not sure why people are so down on naos? they were one map away from the grand final last year and they've only gotten better since then in my opinion

apart from that, your ranking seems to rely on whether you know the team or not. SPG was ruthless in stage 2, and last year shouldn't really factor in because the meta and map pool have all experienced big changes. Its just not how power rankings work. Power ranking in esports cases are more based on recent runs of teams. you do you tho
