the west is debatable, but I think it pretty much sums it up. | ||

Also, everybody is talking how Empire is hottest team right now, they have like sick streak and what not, on the other hand, EG is also good, but not good enough for first two places, cause they played 2nd tier NA teams and whatnot... How is EG worse than Empire, when 70%+ Empire's wins are from 2nd tier Europe teams, or from top tier CIS teams, which aren't all the greatest teams right now, i feel like only three good teams from CIS region right now are Empire, Na'vi and ROX My point is, this rankings should have waited SL finals, publishing this thread this early is kinda rushed and disappointing. Feels like you published this just for clicks and drama, tho i highly doubt this is true knowing TL is not that kind of organization... | ||

But I thought power ranks were supposed to be about who is performing the best at the moment, not who is the most skilled or has the best record over the past three years or whatever. | ||

To be honest, I find EU/NA Power Rank to be very silly. Not because I disagree with teams placement, but because there were no conditions to see what several teams are really capable of. We didn't have major LANs since Starladder 8 finals in January and any rating based on online play is bound to be extremely inaccurate. Teams like Na'Vi and Fnatic are known to play better at LAN, large part of EG's games were played against teams in Europe and cross-server results are very dependent on which team gets more games at its "home" server. At least we will have Starladder 9 finals pretty soon and they should show us something much closer to the real picture. It would've been even better if all good european teams could take part in them, but oh well, you can't have everything I guess. | ||

Fnatic have been average in most tournaments. There are multiple ways your ranking is poor but the last sentence sums it up. | ||

West rankings I would have: 1. EG 2. Navi 3. Cloud 9 4. Empire 5. Alliance Right now I don't think Navi Cloud 9 Empire can even touch DK, but I think EG can. I understand that Empire had a long winning streak. But you got to win in the playoffs, not regular season, they didn't win any major championship during that span. Getting knocked out of D2CL doesn't help. I am not convinced of Empire unless they finish top 4 at Star Ladder at the very least, but highly unlikely. EG is a new team, but they playing like they played together for 3 years. And the way they finish their games, is mostly one sided. I have Navi and Cloud 9 2nd and 3rd the 2 finalist for D2CL. Alliance a little like iG last year. Good but not the best pre TI 3. | ||

Greed is not always good, no matter what Wall Street says. uh then they stomped the shit out of tl in d2l again, point is it's not completely inconceivable for someone to put them over eg in a ranking, especially if you consider that he ranks c9 below simply off a head to head winrate. eg hasn't even played na'vi or alliance, whereas c9 has beat both teams, albeit in a small online sample size. not saying that eg is necessarily a worse team due to lack of sampling, but I could see the reasoning for ranking c9 > eg | ||

Except Na'Vi has a really good record in Starladder and clearly gives actively no fucks about the MLG event. They are the same team they have always been and do well in the events they care about. And that team is still one of the best teams out there. And lets be clear, the distance between 1-5 is not huge. All these teams are very good. | ||
