For the first half of the year I imagine teams like LEV and G2 will have a lot of things to work on aside from gameplay. G2 is coming off a year of t2 games and needs to adjust.
LOUD should remain the #1 team in Americas for majority of the season
NRG(assuming it’s marved crashies Ethan demon1 victor potter) without potter it’s lower
LEV (will need time honestly if they don’t it’s amazing but realistically the roster will need to adjust as TEX finds new role)
SEN ( probably the best roster itw mechanics wise, just kinda waiting to see if the coaching and effort can match)
FURIA (I personally believe they start off very strong, definitely below LEV but above C9 and 100T)
G2 (this first year shouldn’t be too much expectations, they may end up being better than furia but furia looked very good in league play last year and i believe they upgraded a lot.
100 frauds ( will be really good if they got b0tstio, eeiu is cool. Asuna will need to improve at the rate tenz has been for them to be better than g2) will be interesting to see how well coached they are
C9 (MCE gone, all his magic gone with him)
KRU (unfortunate circumstances, would probably be top 5 without them rip)
MIBR(worst possible BR talents)
EG(from what I understand there’s a small chance jawg and c0m remain i doubt potter does and even then they might just have a brand new 5 into next year) so mid
