pacific is VERY hard to rank because i don't think their top 3 teams of PRX, GenG, and t1 would be S tier in other regions(even though im not really cross-comparing regions). Like if i say "pacific has 3 S tier teams" it doesn't make sense, and if I say "pacific has no S tier teams" it also doesn't make sense

i thought so as well but i've heard people say they are more worried abt FNC than Navi so i think its best just to keep them both A

koi had way less prac time than TL and still beat them. barbarr absolutely pisses on emil and you can see it in the games. emil will hold liquid back from being decent ]

giants are so shit and bottom 3 in the league. if it wasnt for cloud theyd be bottom 1

"koi had way less prac time than TL and still beat them"
bro it was a rematch, the losing team almost always wins the rematch
regardless, I think moving Koi up to C is reasonable.
Giants were 1 pistol+ eco win away from 2-0ing KC. and now they have purpo instead of nukkye whose sentinel wasn't anything special

DRX vs zeta: DRX win 1st zeta win 2nd

the team that lost the first time wins 61% on the biggest stage since it first became a thing in champions 2021, and when u remove outlier matches (where there is a clear mismatch) its 11-4

fnc also downgraded this year. if you have 4 absolute god players in your team and still you can't igl them to win(running same strats like a tier 2 org) then that's a massive L.
i will rate vitality over fnc for this kickoff.

fnc will bounce back, we haven't even seen VIT with trexx and we saw FNC win 2 events.

100T's game vs LEV was closer than EG's vs LOUD and their game vs SEN was just as close as EG vs LOUD, and EG really doesn't have the firepower to keep up with a lot of teams
