B= expected
FNATIC: B+, hasn’t struggled but these were the expectations anyway for groups, contenders for champs.
FUT: A, showing everyone Turkish aim and making playoffs where upsets may be possible.
Giants: C+, even against a strong EDG more was expected from them, especially in the rematch.
NAVI: B-, some amazing moments and some rounds mindbogglingly thrown away, extremely close losses to Loud and DRX aren’t something to be heartbroken over. Could have made playoffs in a different group imo.
Liquid: D, what happened? I’m trying really hard to like this team but then they do this every time.
EG: B+, some close games but showed everyone on the team can step up when needed, contenders for champs.
Loud: A-, most matches kept close, could be a dark horse team for the 2x.
NRG: B-, may have overrated them but dont know BLG’s level for sure, bro what’re you doing bro, like honestly bro.
KRU: B, came in knowing they were all or nothing, tough loss to Giants but didn’t seem like they could beat EDG.
PRX: A-, in great form with resilient mental when down, extremely adaptable team when necessary, contenders for champs.
DRX: Strong and drilled team, Zest and RB stepping up atm, dark horse for champs.
T1: B-, not far off what was expected, but the team needs more time / roster changes.
Zeta: C, similar to KRU, it was all or nothing. They had one good map tho, the rest was a dumpster fire.
EDG: B+, exciting and innovative team to watch, mechanical skill to back it up, dark horse for champs.
BLG: A+, went from “who are these guys, actually I don’t care”, to making huge waves and the biggest upset so far twice.
FPX: B, everyone thought this for them and BLG, this region given time to grow will be dangerous in the future
