Just speaking facts brotha. All good to have own opinions.

Crazy person, to have guard at 2. Possible to get there but who's tested them other than a dogshit 100t and xset where cryo was a bitch. V1 is also an overreaction as every map was a nail bitter against NRG and they haven't played any team on this list yet.

facts

I can understand this but we don't know yet so I just gave C9 #1 based on general consensus.

We will see when V1 plays Sen but I feel you guys are overreacting to V1's success. Solid team but haven't played any top teams yet with a rookie igl.

NA only watches NA. We don't give a shit until masters.

NRG should have won the series lmao. How can you say V1 is that high, plus very interesting to put a fairly untested Guard over Optic.

over who bro, they lose to all 6 imo

Very hot take considering the playoff bracket. You will most likely see a group A and B team qual.

They may seem to be the favorites but you never know in NA. Shit is consistently inconsistent.

1. C9 ( probably getting dropped this weekend )
2. V1
3. GUARD
4. OPTIC
5. SEN
6. XSET

Updated as of March 7th. I am giving V1 and Guard the benefit of the doubt because they showed consistency and both came back from deficits. V1 is proven now and Guard will be as of Friday imo. Based off Sentinels puggy play and Optics inconsistencies they both drop. Didn't want to make this list so reactionary but it does look like there is some new dogs in town. Can't take action on C9 yet because they are still unknown against good teams.

XSET looked good but it was against 100T, so I couldn't give them a boost.

Thoughts?

We got an understanding of where V1 sits right now in NA. They probably should have lost this match but pulled through imo showing they are the better team rn. I would say they are 4th or 5th in NA rn depending on where you want to slot Guard.

I have them at 3-2 to end the group stage losing to Optic and Sen.

I think 100T should get rid of Ethan and Hiko for no particular reason other than just a change in style. I would rebuild around Asuna and Bang. This team was more successful with all boomers except Asuna. Rebuilding young and finding a formidable igl for the future should be the goal. Unless they beat XSET and EG....

They will win their last 2 games to make playoffs. These 3 games have been against the best teams in group B. They look better and matchup well against Rise and Knights.

Blow up the core and just build around Asuna and Bang. Gl hf

In most other games Russia has their separate region from EU. I think we all know if this finals was Envy v G2 that it would be an Envy stomp. Congrats Russia on the dub.

Btw yay is the best player in the world easily. I think today maybe showed that.
