EMEA Power Ranking (now we've seen everyone)

#1

VIT - Firepower is self explanatory, but I thought they looked quite in sync and coordinated
TH - Looked off the first map but then the second and third maps they picked up and looked back in the swing of things (on 2 maps we've never seen them on as well). I'm inclined to think Fracture and Pearl are closer to their average level than Abyss because of what neilzinho said in the post match interview and how sick they looked.
KC - Came incredibly close to beating VIT
FUT - I mean they just ran over TL with zero competition so idk how high their level is but I'd imagine it means they're gonna be pretty good
GM8 - Honestly surprised me, all 5 of their players are pretty talented and RobbieBK looks like he's slotting into the IGL role fairly seamlessly
BBL - The dark horse of EMEA. I thought Jamppi looked pretty good for his first time being a full time IGL, and LewN, Profek and sociablEE all look crazy. Once chiwa can play again I imagine they'll have an even higher ceiling.
FNC - Their Fracture looked good but kaajak has struggled so far and some rounds they looked totally lost on their Abyss attack. The firepower also just isn't as good as previous years so it feels like they can't really bail themselves out when they end up in man disadvantage situations as frequently. Alfa and Chronicle are still goated tho and Boaster's been hitting AimLabs
GX - Just kinda ok. Decent individuals all around. Very simple calling and comps. Let down by having runneR

runneR? What is bro running from? The dementia? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH

NAVI - Didn't look awful but I don't think their firepower is as stacked as other teams above them, plus they never really found value from Tejo
KOI - Somehow lost to Liquid but honestly I think they just look a bit flat and uninspired. Will probably improve with time
Apeks - Florescent and 4 bricks
TL - Jesus Christ they are fucking appalling. I don't think they even have access to voice comms. There's zero coordination. Their map pool must be abysmal considering they picked Fracture twice and looked shit at it. kamo fell off as soon as he put on the TL jersey. nAts is already past his prime and getting further nerfed by having to IGL. Pati clearly doesn't gel or communicate well with anyone on the team considering how off his supportive util is. THERE IS NO WORLD WHERE KAMYK ISN'T CRYPTO THROWING CUZ HOLY SHIT.

Keiko looks good on smokes tho

pretty much agree except i honestly still think th is the best in the region, abyss has always been their weakness but they looked incredibly solid on every other map

lotus was TH's weakness, abyss just their weakness because kangkang trauma. but now 2/7 maps are weaknesses, which is pretty bad for a team claimed to be the best in the region. even worse, vit and kc had strong showings on abyss where they went 17-15 so i don't think TH is beating those two

i’m not sold on the fact vitality is the best team in the region just because they have pieces like less derke sayf etc., they’ll need more than just a few big names to be real contenders, they gotta get some reps in

and right now, the only rep they have is struggling against a team with players who’ve never once played with each other before this season

whereas th have that experience and are young enough to be adaptable despite having weaknesses, which i value more than just “damn derke less sayf on the same team? goated” i need more from vit, i’m not convinced

imo the top 4 is fine but in no order yet since TH and FUT haven’t played each other or against VIT and KC, and i wouldn’t say VIT is better than KC by that game, KC threw hard when winning 12-10 a 5v3 and in that same round elite threw even harder waiting for the smoke to go away alone in the middle of site if not KC would’ve won so can’t really tell the order of top 4 rn

but good list, also i think from #8-10 could upset fnatic

I’m just not feeling it man. None of these teams have a chance of winning Bangkok. VIT’s macro needs work, KC lack firepower, and TH need to flesh out their map pool.

I would not be surprised if the GF is G2 vs. TE at this point.
