After watching Sao Paolo and looking at all of the Americas teams, I have comprised a list of what the Americas power rankings are. Keep in mind that we have only seen ONE EVENT and as such, we shouldn't take much away from the event because the teams may have been shaky with players feeling off or something.
- Loud - Made it to finals, for such a fresh team they have such a high ceiling
- NRG - In 50% of the other realities, they would've beat Loud due to how close each team is to the other. Both have very high potential. Dependent on how much the crowd did buff Loud, I would argue that NRG during Tokyo can place much higher
- Leviatan - Solid team with solid ideas. If you believe Scrim bucks you would put them in #1 but there is a difference between scrims and real matches
Tier Break >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - 100t - Solid fundamentals, I am worried about Cryo flexing off Jett and Chamber though. During the Lotus game vs FUT and the Fracture game vs FNATIC Cryo was not in sync when combing the Breach aftershock and grenade with Derrek. Until either Asuna plays the Raze role or Cryo gets comfortable, I am confident saying that 100t will not make Tokyo
- Furia - Dgzin is INSANE. I am shocked that he flew under the radar for so long. He has incredible mechanical skill combined with elite gamesense. Qck is a clutch demon. They have the potential to upset many teams
- Sentinels - I have a lot of faith in Dephh to turn this roster into a contender for making LAN events. Maybe have TenZ play flex and Zekken play full duelist but thats the only critique
Tier Break >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - EG - Potter is cooking. This team can in the right circumstances, make playoffs. I don't believe in them to be a title contender for at least a year, but I do enjoy their strategy
- C9 - I feel awful for putting them this low. This isn't because I'm a yay simp. Rather, they have to aquire and integrate their new star player. There simply isn't enough time for C9 to be ready for the Americas split until at least week 3.
- MIBR - The only player the community thinks is good on the roster is Heat. They do have Bzka though so in due time they can make it
- KRU - Say goodbye to KRU making every LAN event. Losing Mazino and Keznit makes this team bottom of the barrel now.
