-
OpTic Gaming
Dominant and FNS. Although they faced Sentinels with two subs, they've defeated teams with ease other than the one Icebox map against C9. 5-0 looks to be incoming as well as another trip to Masters, this time in Copenhagen. -
100 Thieves
Other than losing to TSM for the fourth time this 2022 season, 100 Thieves played incredibly well against the favorites coming in before that match and 2-0ed them in 13-4 and 13-9 performances. -
XSET
They lost to 100 Thieves, but they did look great in 4-0 games against NRG and Ghost which are very good teams in their groups. Better map picks should allow them to do well in the playoffs and hopefully not finish 4th. -
Ghost Gaming
They managed in back-to-back wins to beat The Guard and NRG, two teams that were favored coming in before the match, and they beat them easily. Ghost has a good future coming into these playoffs. -
Evil Geniuses
They aren't the best team in the group, but they have shown solid performances against LG and SEN. Their match against C9 did have Xeta on it, so they look to end well with matches against OpTic and FaZe -
Cloud 9
Although they lost to FaZe today in a 2-0 that no one saw coming, expect some role changes with Curry and Vanity that will make them start winning. They have their remaining matches against LG and SEN. -
Luminosity.
Their schedule only gets harder from here, and they beat the easy teams in FaZe and SEN. They just lost to EG, and they will have OpTic in the last week. Plus, expect them to have tough competition in the playoffs. -
NRG
They've dropped a lot in this week's rankings, but if they can get back together and work out their comps, they can look deadly like their first match against TSM. -
TSM
They slightly edge The Guard over their remaining schedule contrary to their match against the Guard, ending in 0-2. TSM looked nice against 100 Thieves and hopes to upset Ghost in next week's matchup -
The Guard
Their last matchups are against XSET and NRG, which do seem tough on paper, but if The Guard can continue dominating like dinosaurs, they can definitely topple some of the teams listed above. -
FaZe Clan
Their win against Cloud 9 gives them a chance in playoffs for that 4th or possibly 3rd seed. Their remaining matches are against Sentinels and EG, so they can make a run at it. -
Sentinels
Let's all agree that Sentinels are bad, their roles are messed up, but they still have a chance. Copium?
