SEN XSET 100t ENVY (all these 4 teams made to master 1 and Stage 2: Challengers Finals (envy sen 100t in first strike also) v1 might be t1 also and xset not sure yet they playing really good tho
SEN, 100T, V1, NV, XSET, GenG, C9 Blue are the T1 teams in NA, maybe ABX
I don't think one bad performance from V1 and C9 Blue should make us discount them- they are still T1 teams
I'm not including FaZe, NRG, IMT, LG because of repeated poor performances in recent matches. I am also not including teams like Soniqs, Pioneers, T1, and Rise because we haven't seen enough consistent performance on the Tier 1 level from them.
i guess it depends how strict you want to be with t1 standard. but i would say the current tier 1 teams are:
SEN
100t
ENVY
GENG
V1
XSET
C9
BORDERLINE T1 (still can be considered t1 depending on person):
T1
NRG
ABX
Luminosity
Soniqs
TSM
Renegades
KCP
IMT
Noble
sorry if i missed any. however alot of the reasons for some teams being borderline is not enought time playing other tier 1 teams or just lack of consistency. there definitely needs to be more tournaments where teams can compete against eachother and we can watch to get a better idea of a list and thats why this is always such a hard topic to cover for the site. we have no idea. also this game is very inconsistent atm because of how new it is so things are being created everyday making some players stand out some days and not others.
