Idk why people care about these 4 gold players ratings lol. Like they even have a single clue what makes a team good. Putting liquid 9th is actually criminal. A bad liquid could still beat majority of the other teams at their peak.
not all colour casters are the highest ranks and best players in the game, not sure why that part's important
but i do agree, sometimes their calls are a bit questionable. but still it's a power ranking, so just based on the amount of dominance and power teams have had within their regions very recently, and liquid have been looking a bit off
Main issue was derke wasnt on the list, also literally no one thought that sentinels had fallen off that hard so it makes sense. Sure it’s a little high but no one thought they were getting grouped lol.Also all of them thought g2 would win but f4q had a chance which they did take a map. Besides literally everyone has been really wrong about something in val, no one actually knows what will happen
predicting an esports (or really, a sports) tournament's outcomes is really fucking hard if not nigh-impossible when there are so many factors that influence the outcome.
the reason their takes are parrotted is because they offer at least some evidence from games to support their arguments (most of the time), not because they're accurate.
