Team Falcons |
I mean, obviously. They may not have won EWC but they're clearly in the best spot overall. |
| 2 |
 |
Luminosity |
I hate to give it to them, but they've been looking good recently, especially at EWC. |
| 3 |
 |
Fnatic |
They did poorly at EWC but I think that was just because they and SSG kept griefing each other. Nothing some VOD review won't fix |
| 4 |
 |
Bleed Esports |
Did well in PL, Knoqd did well at EWC, former LAN record-breakers. Very promising imo |
| 5 |
 |
Gaimin Gladiators |
I feel like this team is consistently in contention for getting 3rd place lol. They're good but not the sort of team to win MP |
| 6 |
 |
Alliance |
They're obviously coming off of a LAN win, but they're playing with a sub (and also as much as I love Alliance I think them winning EWC was kinda a stroke of luck more than anything; if someone had won game 11 they would've ended in like 10th) |

Not Moist |
They seem to have figured their IGL situation out, and Timmy has found a good spot on the team. Lots of potential here. |

Cloud9 |
Very consistent team. Shoutout coldjyn |

 |
Complexity |
Hot take: With Kim on Crypto, Complexity genuinely looks like a really good squad |
| 10 |
 |
Furia |
I hate to say it but Furia looks pretty good right now. I'm not sure how well they'd do in finals if they make it there though |
| 11 |
 |
FaZe Clan |
Another team which is in contention to place okay but not win imo. |
| 12 |
 |
Guild Esports |
Consistently middle-of-the-road LAN finals performances, not too bad |
| 13 |
 |
EXO Clan |
They did well at EWC but have looked pretty mediocre otherwise |
| 14 |
 |
Mkers |
Haven't done well in the past two LANs |
| 15 |
 |
Team Liquid Alienware |
I don't think they'll do well in a Crypto meta |
| 16 |
 |
Spacestation Gaming |
SSG have looked pretty rough recently. Their macro really needs work. |
| 17 |
 |
TSM |
Didn't make finals at EWC or Carnage Cup. They could bounce back tho, which is why they're still in the top 20 here. |
| 18 |
 |
NRG |
Nocturnal back in finals :hopium: |
| 19 |
 |
NOEZ FOXX |
Looked great in PL but no LAN experience together |
| 20 |
 |
REJECT WINNITY JAPAN |
Great in PL but no LAN experience at all I think? |
| 21 |
 |
E-Xolos LAZER |
Good at EWC but unclear if they can adapt to new meta |
| 22 |
 |
Pioneers |
Idk they just look kinda mediocre |
| 23 |
 |
Legends Gaming |
The visa situation sucks, man. This squad is basically just a slightly modified o7 now. |
| 24 |
 |
Enter Force.36 |
APACN as a whole looks weak right now, and E36 have looked weak for a while |
| 25 |
 |
VK Gaming |
Another good in PL but no LAN experience squad |
