Tbh I haven't seen SMB but idk if they are that good to be in the same bracket as Fantic and Liquid, Guild has looked good with Kolda and the new signings, G2 also improved with Keloqz so I would put them in B-C tier.
Why is everyone putting Navi so low?
I know they won't qualify for playoffs but they won't be last in their group (that's just my opinion but correct me if I am missing something)
Seems fair but I don't agree with smb at A. I saw their games, they played good but to be placed in the same group as TL and Fnatic, they have to do a LOT more than that.
TL: Controversial, but I think they have the highest ceiling. I still think there are weak links, but they can beat anyone when they get in their rhythm.
ACE: They have a tendency to be inconsistent. I still think a roster move could make them a superteam but they aren't one yet.
GMB: They have been performing at their peak in my opinion. They shouldn't change anything but I don't think this roster will be dominant. Even in their Berlin quals/LANs they have rarely been dominant. The epitome of very good across the board.
A:
G2: This roster has the pieces to be the best but until they put it together they will struggle. I think they need an IGL as hoody/nukkye are two of the best in the world, and everyone else is solid at their roles.
Guild: Sayf and Leo are great, trexx is inconsistent on support but can pop off, this is the best level of strategy I've seen from a koldamenta led team (maybe Barrbarr's influence). As a Guild fan, they are a bit overhyped from rolling bad teams but they can become one of the best.
FNC: They still lack firepower in my eyes. Derke showed the return to form, and this team is still some of the best at the non stats aspects of the game, but they do not have a whole lot of mechanical skill.
B:
FPX: Not a single player has had consistent performances. They can definitely challenge any team but until they do so often rather than sporadically I put them here.
SMB: This roster impressed me but I still don't think they are an improvement over the old SMB. I think Xistou has been by far the best sentinel in Turkey, and Izzy is still very good, but the bottom of the roster is quite weak fragging wise. Maybe CyderX's IGLing can work some magic against EU.
C:
LDNU: They have become that standard top of tier 2 team that always challenges but rarely beats the good teams. Their consistency gives me hope but they are a bit outclassed here.
BBL: Their roles are messy but if they put it together they have a good shot at being the best team in Turkey. This could easily fall apart though.
NAVI: Jady was a huge pickup, but Cloud has struggled playing even more supportive. I think they are a move away from contention still.
BIG: They have long struggled in tier 2 and have slowly upped their game. I still don't really believe in anyone but Twisten against the best teams.
My list is getting messed up somehow but it is in order so ignore numbers that dont make sense.
