i like NAVI too, but I think they might be slightly too high on the list (you are also biased)
yeah NAVI got fucked by single elim and doombros' departure but with no proven results, its hard to put them at 2
its kinda ez
just know TH with no sub 2024 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FNC 2023
depends; with a very formulaic, structural meta FNC thrives, while with a more brawl-esque, fast trading (dynamic) meta TH is heavily favored.
id say NAVI suits the structural meta, as did many other teams did in 2022/early 2023 such as:
OPTC (revolve around yay, additive util + FNS calling; definitely haven't seen this play in NRG too much)
DRX (clean site execs, set plays, textbook)
NAVI (similar to DRX, pace-based gameplay and good setups)
FNC (play-by-play, relies on a system for boaster to call and rest to frag)
ZETA in '22 (teamwork, playing around each other's util)
XSET in '22 (collaborative util, aggressive but calculated)
GMB in '21 (definition of predicting the enemy and playing off perfection)
EG '23 (turning point for this brawl-esque meta aforementioned, but their fundamentals/teamplay were fully based on execs/anti-strats)
I think he means only 4th place, since it would be insane if it was claimed to be better than top 3 of all regions
against KC? 40/60 for LEV
against T1/TS? 45/55 for LEV
against TE/DRG/BLG? 80/20 for LEV
LEV's form has been disgustingly down, external causes are also in play for LEV atm
KC also has a downed form, but if they have similar levels as their Madrid form, LEV likely the underdogs
T1 Shanghai then LEV 65/35 but T1 current then T1 have the edge, they genuinely look very impressive
TS is slowly showing hope, but they need 2GE and WildOreo to clutch up a lot of rounds, its a 55/45 for LEV
chinese teams have potential to upset, but imo a weak LEV still takes this easily
what has sen done to be in top 2? might as well put fnatic there since they won tokyo last year kkkkkkkkk
Sentinels won americas kickoff and was the best team of the world in masters madrid, they obviously deserved a good place
I hope navi really isn't top 2, if that's what emea is one team region again due to the gap between 1 and 2
I wonder if KC will rise up again, they looked so good at the start of the season
Not bad ranking but why are KRU and LEV so low while NRG is top 4? KRU and LEV had very good stage 1 runs and NRG... Well... Tonight we'll see...
