I tried to do something sensible, not too biased but with a little bit of bias still, I think the top of the list makes sense, the bottom is a bit of a mess and I'm not too satisfied with it but I couldn't come up with anything better

I agree with GE being too low, but I also couldn't really get myself to put them higher, I'm just a bit concerned by the fact that they have no reliable carry.
Autumn is, I think, very reliable but not a carry kind of player
Udo has a very high peak but I'm not sure he'll be that guy consistently
Kr1stal isn't a carry either despite being a very solid player
Same with Patmen
I could see Xavi carrying, but with him having to learn a new role on top of IGLing I don't think it is likely to happen
They have a very solid roster, I'm just worried that in tough situations they won't be able to string it together, and I can defo see slightly better teams putting them in those positions
Also Full sense slander will not be tolerated from you, even tho there are legitimate questions about the IGLing
they are definitely good enough, I just don't think Autumn is the kind of player to hard carry (like a Stew, Aspas or Meiy does) and I think Udo might have consistency issues, despite having a very high peak

I think they are similar to SLT in that their playstyle is very basic and will get read more easily by better teams. If they have good days/ play weaker opposition mechanically then they will steamroll them, but as time goes on they will either have to change things a bit or get worse.
In ULF's case I also couldn't really get myslef to put them above BBL even tho I don't think it would be unreasonable to do so
they got 2024 th ceiling and 2025 split 1 gx floor
its kinda tricky to place them
concerning SLT:

concerning FPX: I was just thinking about it and I'm definitely not satisfied by it, but ultimately some teams have to be at the bottom, and with how high I am on Tyloo it has to be FPX. I also think their core is really tired atp and the same thing will pbb happen to them as NaVi in 2025 in that they will be pretty miserable in the first part of the year despite showing clear potential (like FPX did in Split 2 groups this year), and they will pbb have to shake things up a bit to eventually get better in the end (cuz I don't think they can be a consistent bottom team in the region)
loud’s placement is fair only if they get rid of cauanzin, so unless you are taking that into consideration i would put them lower
I have no doubt that will happen after kickoff (unless he does good at kickoff in which case ig it doesn't matter)
idrc my name is already public on twitter I'm not a bitch
Sen should be around top 5ish in americas, nothing crazy abt that
FS have a lot of potential, IGLing is a legitimate concern but I trust them for that matter
