Where do you guys think the lower end EMEA teams would rank in NA. Like OGLU, FOKUS, BIG.

I feel like Emea's Tier 2 scene is way stronger rn with the VRLs and everything. Feel like the scene is more developed
on top of sentinels and faze at least imo, fokus is hard since they are new in vct and have faced pretty hard opponents. Im not unbiased tho, but try to here.
It's pretty hard to tell because the top teams in EMEA are so dominant. I think they would go 1-4 maybe 2-3 in these NA groups.
I think OGLU would be the only team who would be able to win against other teams in NA challengers right now, like against current SEN and put up good fights against TSM and TGRD depending on the day - I think they could get rounds and possibly maps against some of the better teams aswell. BIG is a hit or miss really, some maps they actually look pretty good and go far against top rated teams like Guild yet other times they get completely stepped over so it's hard to rank them among better NA teams. I have no doubt Fokus is a great team but they're new to the VCT circuit and aren't quite on t1 level currently but to be honest, I think any team could beat Sentinels right now. Easiest way to compare this is the open qualifiers, t1 teams lose to t2 or t1.5 teams all the time, just how Valorant works since the skill gap is pretty small
OGLU or Big would probably be like 5th or 4th at best.
Fokus, looking at them so far could end up last or first depending on the opposition and their form.
OGLU would probably rank above sen but below xset whereas big and fokus probs same level as sen (sen is low t2 for me)
I think they'd be middle of the pack, around the same level of sen, faze, knights, tsm, etc. your typical tier 1.5 in NA and 1.5 in EMEA feel about on the same level.
Fokus, BIG, and OGLU dont win a series in NA VCT
maybe take a map off bottom 5 but I dont think so
