- EG
You cant powerscale teams like this it aint anime. Nrg beat sen because of a map pool issue and a veto trap. If sen played comfortable instead of risking it to get good picks they couldve won the series imo. Also sen is a team that has looked conisistently better throughout, moreso now with marved if he stays. C9 is up there but Sen is definitely a contender to be above or next to them.
a bad map pool is a team issue you just cant ignore though, C9 willingly played haven today to test themselves vs nrg then comfortably won the next 2 maps. C9 have run multiple different comps on different maps, sent will scale up and probably be better but rn C9 have a wider map pool better agent overlap as well.
In terms of recent performance, C9 have looked so much better than LEV/FUR/SEN. They competed pretty decently with Loud, even taking a map off them, dominated 100T and EG, and beat NRG, all with significantly less prac than everyone else.
In terms of common opponents, Furia got rocked by LLL, and EG stayed close with them, SEN played it close with 100T and lost to NRG (albeit this was before Marved), and LEV are the most comparable, with them beating NRG much more convincingly
