Based only on games played so far.

  1. NRG - too solid fundamentally and strategically. Proven vets all around and s0m is slotting in nice with the team.
  2. Cloud9 - Great first game against a tournament favourite. They look strong but haven't been tested against a top 10 team yet.
  3. Loud - Lots of potential. Main concern is mental, discipline, and being able to close out easy wins.
  4. DRX - Same story as last year, potential to win it all but they never are expected to.
  5. EG - Surpassed my initial expectations, look solid fundamentally. who knows what they're cooking?
  6. Giants - played a bot team first round and ran out of steam against NRG. I'd say they sit just outside top 5 EMEA.
  7. Talon - decent showing against a mediocre team. EG will be thier first real test against a well coordinated team.
  8. GenG - From what I've seen, they don't look too bad. Maybe they win their first game if its not against LOUD. I still they beat PRX though.
  9. KC - Showed a decent performance at this tourney. xms is a liability though and Nivera and Scream can only carry a team so far
  10. Paper Rex - I can't even say C9 fairly beat them because its more accurate to say they beat themselves. This looks like a ranked 5-stack more than anything. But they still run it down over anyone below them on this list.
  11. KOI - Showed promise on the first half of the first map. That's it
  12. Heretics - Put up a decent fight against what everyone thinks is the worst NA team. I have a hard time putting them above KOI.
  13. BBL - Took a map off the best Pacific team but I didn't see anything crazy out of them.
  14. FPX - They ran it down harder than Paper Rex. The game was only close because KC played horribly too.
  15. MiBR - crowd buff, cracked aimers, but they still can't take a map over ex-Xerxia. disappointing performance.
  16. Detonation - 2-0d by a mid team and it wasn't close. gg go next.

I'll edit this list as i see fit.

talon over prx, BBL> fpx, heretics and mibr, KOI should be like 8th, KC needs to go down a little.

They for sure have potential. I really with at least their coach had stayed from last year though.
