Fair, I think the top 3 can easily be argued any which way

Putting them at 6 is a hell of a stretch tbh but Corey and Rossy are good signings so I can see top 8 easily

I feel as if as of right now I would put xset and maybe even rise over 100t (for the time being) just because so many of their systems ran around steel and nitr0 was a VERY good player so we still have to wait and see how that's going to work without them

Feel like Sentinels are gonna drop to 8th or worse this season if they dont start working as hard as all these other hungry upcoming teams

slightly off topic, but the rankings got me thinking about how many can make the main event.
my understanding was that 12 teams make the main event, 4 are already in and 8 can qualify. then the main event involves a bunch of round robin matches.
how accurate is this?

edit: nvm, liquipedia gave a great overview. should have googled first. i also noticed that each match is bo5 once they get to the playoffs.
