Rankings now that we know who's going to playoffs:
1 SEN - Highest ceiling, look to be getting back into their form but need to stop giving away leads if they want to do well at Champs. If they come to Champs in peak form, only a couple of teams can contend with them.
2 Leviatan - Very in form throughout the regular season (shades of 2023 LOUD), looked rough at Shanghai but has Aspas and Kingg, and Tex is also looking decent. I genuinely have 0 faith in C0M but I would be happy to be proven wrong.
3 G2 - Looked shaky against KRU but has looked very strong otherwise, had a deep run in Shanghai and could do so again at Champs.
===Very Large Gap===
4 100T - Has the potential to make a deep run at champs or get knocked out in playoffs, either way, a higher ceiling than any team below them.
5 KRU - Probably won't make it far in playoffs but have the potential to make it to champs if they make some keznit magic happen.
6 C9 - I've never seen a team look so terrible and still win in that match against NRG but they made it to playoffs at least. Will need to do better as a team because OXY is not dropping 30+ in most matches against the top teams. I would be very surprised if they even made a run in playoffs, let alone make it to champs.
7 EG - Tragic end to the season, but made it closer to playoffs than the rest of the bottom of Americas, Jawgemo is cracked most of the time.
==Gap==
8 NRG - 12-5 to 12-14 is an Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl-level throw.
9 LOUD - Lost Aspas and just could not recover from it. Rough year.
10 Furia - Who cares
11 MIBR - Worse than the 2023 regular season KRU
