Everyone is doing Power ranking content on youtube right now, but those ranking doesnt really represent the difference between teams because they are usually just ranking from 1-12. So I decided to make a tier-list based on expectations on teams basen on general public pov. So bere it is:
Americas:
Aim is to win the stage: G2
Anything but Toronto is a disappointment:
SEN, NRG, 100T, KRU, LOUD, MIBR, LEV, C9 (Lev and C9 might be a little bit of stretch but they have player quality to do so)
At least make playoffs: EG, Furia
Good luck: 2G
EMEA:
Goal is to win the stage: TH, VIT
Anything but Toronto is a disappointment:
TL, FUT, FNC, KC, BBL, NAVI, GX
At least make playoffs:
M8, KOI
Good luck: APEKS
Pacific:
Goal is to win the stage: T1, DRX, GENG
Anything but Toronto is a disappointment:
PRX, TLN, RRQ, NS
At least make playoffs:
TS, GE, DFM, BOOM, ZETA
(APAC has less teams on first two tiers but I think there will be a gap between top half and bottom half of the league just like last year)
China:
Goal is to win the stage: EDG
Anything but Toronto is a disappointment:
TE, FPX, BLG, XLG, DRG, WOL
At least make playoffs:
NOVA, JDG
Good luck: TEC, TYLOO, AG
What is your tier list look like? What other kind of tier list format better represent how close the teams are within each league?
