Americas Early Power Ranking

#1

foythvlr

Now that all the americas rosters are pretty much locked, drop your power rankings. To me, Americas look STACKED, very difficult to predict who's going to be on top or even classify to playoffs. Mine right now looks like this, but the difference between each team is very small (specially between 7 and 11, which are interchangeable), and the only two teams that look clear as day are G2 and EG:

G2 (Jawgemo - Trent - Valyn - JonahP - Leaf)
100Thieves (Cryo - Eeiu - Boostio - Asuna - Zander)
Sentinels (Zekken - N4rrate - JohnQT - Zellsis - Bang)
Fúria (Havoc - Mwzera - Raafa - Khalil - Heat)
NRG (Mada - Verno - FNS - Ethan - S0m)
MIBR (Aspas - Artzin - NZR - Xenom - Cortezia)
2Gaming (Silentzz - Gobera - Zap - Lz - Pryze)
Loud (Dgzin - Cauanzin - V1nny - Pancada - Tuyz)
Leviatan (Demon1 - C0m - Kingg - Natank - Tex)
Kru (Keznit - Mta - Adverso - Mazino - Shyy)
Cloud 9 (Oxy - Xeppa - Rossy - V1c - Moose)
EG (Sym - Derrek - Nature - Supamen - Yay)

Dude, if this team wasn't able to be good with Aspas, they won't be with Demon1.

I really think that Demon will have a great year, but with C0m staying for mazino to leave, this team show they are not serious.

C0m lurking while being a initiator, tex is a HUGE question mark and Natank is just not him

Furia cant be that high, NRG clears

It could happen, but i'm being cautious with NRG because 1) I don't know if Mada and Verno will perform the same level on T1 Lan and 2) I don't know if FNS will come back to his prime IGL form. But if this team looks good enough on the first few games i'm bumping it to top 1, actually. Furia is massively underrated, their split 2 was great, they fixed a lot of problems from there and the team looks better than before in almost all ways. Im putting them above NRG and MIBR because of experience, but both could be above them.

Sentinels will be top team

Sentinels definitely has the team to be on top, i'm doubting their psychological work. Sacy and Tenz were pillars on the team on leadership and their replacement is two more inexperienced players. N4rrate specially seems like the guy who tilts very easily. I'm putting them above 100t and G2 because the two rosters feel like clear upgrades to already good cores, while Sen is debatable. But it could go pretty well, and that's why they're in my top 3.

Mibr overrated

Aspas + Nzr + Frod is a GREAT combo, Artzin looked very good this last season, and Cortezia and Xenom are two very exciting prospects. How is top 6 (!!!!) overrating this team?

2g overrated

2G looked very good on ascension, and has a lot of fresh talent, mixing with good leadership. Top 7 seems good enough to them. But again, between 7 and 11 it's very interchangeable, so if you think anyone should be lower, it definetly could be.

Loud overrated

You really think anyone after Loud will be better than them? Maybe Lev and Kru, sure, but C9 and EG? Really? It isn't that much of a stretch to say they'il fight for playoffs lol

Lev heavily underrated

I agree this might be my hot take, but i don't think this LEV team is that good tbh. I don't like Kingg igling, i don't like Itopata, C0m looks too inconsistent, i do not trust Demon1 as a full time duelist and i dont' know Natank but he looked average in a average team last season. Yeah i know, the team might shake up with roles a bit, but i do not trust the coaching staff enough to do that the right way. I do like tex a lot tho

Sen eu deixei abaixo pq acho q é um time que vai pecar muito no psicológico, Sacy e Tenz ajudavam muito nisso e saíram e agora só tem o Zellsis e o JohnQT, o N4rrate parece meio tiltado e o bang caladão. 100t manteve a base boa e se pá melhorou com o Zander, tá sendo meio subestimada

MIBR eu deixei abaixo da Fúria quase pelo mesmo motivo, acho que a experiência pesa pra Fúria, Xenom e Cortezia ainda não tem xp de franquia e quase todo mundo da Fúria já tem a pegada do Tier 1 (menos o Raafa que por si só já compensa sendo bem experiente)

NRG é uma incógnita pq não sei se o Mada e o Verno vão performar a mesma coisa na LAN do tier1, ou se o FNS vai voltar a ser um dos melhores IGL, mas se encaixar esse time fica muito forte

I disagree, but i'm open to debate. My list would be like:

G2
Sentinels
MIBR
100Thieves
Loud
NRG
Kru
Leviatan
Fúria
2Gaming
Cloud 9
EG

I put * on the teams that, for me, have some question marks to play on the level they are supposed to. For example, MIBR players need to adapth to new in-game roles, NRG have some young players that never played in the high level so we don't know how they will play and Loud have a IGL that never played in franchising and wasn't an IGL for over a year

#26

I agree at least with your top 5, but i think Loud is too high. While they do have a lot of firepower and a great core, an questionable IGL could ruin this team, and V1nny is very questionable rn. I'd be careful putting them over 6 rn. Fúria looks much better on paper to me

#32

I think they have A LOT of in game roles changing, like mw to initiator, havoc duelist, raffa/heat to sentinel.

That's the main reason i have them low, but they could suprise a loto of people tbh

not really to be fair, i see everyone more comfortable.

mwzera already played as initiator, havoc was clearly uncomfortable on sentinel and was originally a duelist, heat wanted to become a sentinel before joining kru and was learning... to me it will fit a lot better now

espero que choque mesmo, tirando o havoc, eu confio muito nos quatro players, além de q o peu é um cara com a filosofia mt diferente dos ultimos 2 coachs e mt provavelmente vai fazer o time parar de entregar round igual louco, a lev acho q poderia ficar um pouco acima, e a KRU é um time que eu não duvido realmente que fique lá em baixo

havoc pra mim vai ficar muito mais confortável em duelista e com o peu e o raafa vai voar. esse time vai ser uma the union 2 bem mais cascuda e superior, pra mim vai ser muito bom. lev eu acho que teve um downgrade nas duas mudanças e pode bater um pouco a cabeça internamente, mas foi algo particular meu mesmo, pode ficar acima sim. kru eu não confio nada no adverso de IGL e manter o mta pra mim é um erro

Why? Won the first split, 4st in the second, was three rounds away from going to champions, kept the same roster and the one guy who left got a replacement on arguably the same level if not better. Have a experienced but at the same time young team with lots of room for improvement and a nice coaching staff. I think this team is pretty good personally

I Love 100T

I understand your reasoning.
I just am not (yet) sold on Zander ~= Bang. I feel like Bang is very clutch player (can hold his nerve very much). That is why Sentinels wanted him. Can Zander be better than him? I honestly hope so.
100T as a whole had some issues after returning from Masters Shanghai. They seemed so down in morale after returning from China.

#73

That's understandable, but while i do like Bang, i feel like he isn't very consistent and that Zander can fill this role as good as him, specially if he goes as well as eeiu did. Zander will still have to prove himself tho. And while this core may have had an issue they still got top1 and top4 in americas, clearly have proven themselves. They have enough time now to work on the issues they had and i feel like they will be even better than this last season. Also boostio somehow is still an underrated IGL

1st Split was ridiculously goofy why you think no one brings it up? and while they replaced someone equal skill/maybe better.

The root of the problems before are still there and MOST the teams have much better upgrades then just "Equal skill if not better"
Its not a situation they are gonna do bad, they just arent gonna do 2nd ABSOLUTELY not i would have them 4th-6th or something

#63

I mean you could say that but they still won. And 4th place is still also a good position specially because they got really close to 3rd.

And i understand your point, like i said the teams are very close to each other on paper to me, so they could be 4th-6th. And yes maybe other teams have better rosters and upgrades on paper. But 100t gives me very few reasons to doubt their work based on the last season, the roster building and the individual players, while i do have some concerns in those aspects about teams like NRG and Sentinels. So i'm choosing to stick with them for now. It doesn't mean it can't change, we still have some months of off-season too.

honestly should be:

(Toss up between 1-4)

MIBr
LEV

(Toss up between 5-6, fully dependent on how aspas plays under a new system and how Demon1 performs)

FUR
EG
2G

(Toss up between 7-9, each team can beat each other 2-1 on any given day so its hard to say. Yay needs to prove hes not washed up, FUR have unproven talent and 2G have pressure to live upto hype)

LOUD
C9
KRU

(These teams suck, wasting really good talent)

furia are not touching top 6

have you actually think more than five seconds about furia team or are you just bandwagonning and putting them on the bottom tier for no reason?

top 4 is : g2/sentinels (i think both are fucking insane), then leviatan, then 100t

that's fair, i do think lev might be my hot take, so i understand putting them on top, i just think this team has a lot more problems than people are thinking about. g2 is the undeniable best, and top 2 to sentinels is fair, i just have more questions about them than 100t

top 5/6 : kru - nrg

again, fair enough, but to me kru has downgraded quite a bit. adverso igl is icky and mta (allegedly) staying on the team is nonsense. nrg could be a bit higher but i agree with being cautious with this team with the new talent

top 7/8 : 2G / EG

you can't imply that i'm biased and then put EG higher than top 10 lol
