New Tier 1 Team???

The Guard is looking incredible. They're showing off as a really strong team, and I almost guarantee they will qualify for groups. I am super excited to see how they will stack up in a tourney with these stronger teams.

They're probably t1 but they looked weak vs XSET so I wouldn't say they're top 5. I definitely think they have the potential though.

It could also be nerves though too. That was their first truly tier 1 team they faced

Ehhh I don't think they're better than Sen, NV, C9, or even V1. V1 looked nasty this qualifier. I bet they're better than 100T though.

Vanity basically said that Vayln is one of the most underrated igls in NA and that the team is real good but lacks firepower compared to the top teams.

The guard is making a case for being Tier 1 for sure.

thats fair, even if they are still the #1 t2 team if people move Guard up to T1. Also, TSM fan calling their own team unimpressive? Good job growing up

Valyn is prolly the most underrated igl, and once trent and saya get in the perfect grit with net and jonahP's support they can literally be top 3. Sentinels, Xset, C9, the guard, NA is looking pretty clean right now. Didn't mention 100T due to the revamped roster.

So, the current T1 teams are NV, Sen, C9, maybe 100Ts? Are Xset, and V1 still considered T2?

XSet has been tier 1, GenG was tier 1, but not sure anymore since their performance in VCT.
V1 was tier 2 and qualified, but didn't really defeat any tier 1 teams to qualify imo.
As for 100T I think. they should be considered tier 1 until proven otherwise since they still have the same core 3 that led them to success.

Gotcha okay, so T1 teams are always in contention with one another and competing in top tier events. Yeah I could definitely see Guard and NRG joining the T1 teams.

In my opinion every team that is in the main event already is a tier 1 team but there's probably a couple of teams in the qualifiers that deserve to be tier 1.
