What makes a team tier 1? Tier 2? Is it qualifying for big events? Or being on the top 10 of the region?
By this definition is Sentinels currently tier 2?

its all arbitrary
there is no definition but generally people put tier 1 as top 10 teams / the teams in the highest league / teams that make challengers playoffs and teams that actually got a real chance at winning
tier 2 generally is salaried teams (can be an f/a team if they are great) and they are outside of the top 10 / highest league
tier 3 is generally semi-pro unsalaried players or free agent teams
it can also be separated into world wide tiers and regional tiers also, tier 1 world is different to tier 1 brazil for example
a gatekeeper team is one that is very consistent at beating tier 2 teams but also very consistently loses to tier 1 teams

yes, i forgot to mention that if there is a big skill gap then that defines tiers as well
like for emea LDN UTD and BIG even though they are in the top 10, i would not put them as tier 1 as there is a big skill gap between them and Guild/Acend/NaVi/Liquid/FNC/G2/M3C/FPX

he didnt make up nonsense, he recited what others have said, generally.
