no order as of now
Team RD RT ACS ADR K:D KAST HS%
KC 103 1.0 205 130 1.04 72.8% 33.4%
T1 20 0.8 178 115 0.75 67.0% 28.6%
It is a mistaken assumption. For the sake of an argument, disregard T1's only 20 rounds. KC appears superior on paper despite playing five times as many rounds as T1 - we can expect decreased skewness as more rounds are played. IMHO 100 rounds are still insufficient to provide a thorough picture of said teams, however we may somehow offer general estimates for the sake of a comparison.
Having said that, the average ACS across all teams in the tournament is 194, implying that after 20 rounds, all T1 could have achieved is a below-average ACS performance. Long term, this perfomance will flatten out, and they may not even reach the average of 194 ACS, indicating that T1 is pretty much a low to mid-level team, at the moment. And there isn't much to say except that they need to improve. But it is enough clear from what they have shown us that they are ranked below KC.
Again, things are not always set in stone and should be approached with caution.
In response #5, I listed the five worst teams. The statistics originate from the VLR, with some extra rough group estimates...
Now, we do not assess the teams in absolute terms here. This tournament is merely a series of games that happened during some instance in time, and while it was only one instance, FPX did not look to be the worst team amongst the 32 competing ones, nor did KC appear to be the worst. They just gave us everything they could, and SHIN, for example, was not all that horrible.
At the end of the day, underperforming teams may have been simply unlucky, and we will see them improve the next time - not the end of the world.
