Still new to watching most teams and don't know the EU ones very well so here's a question:
What would their sort of power ranks be? Is it approximately in line with the results already? Some teams only have half the games of others though so I'm curious whether the field has set itself up yet.

EG, Fnatic, Gambit are considered a step above, however of those only EG is consistently winning right now.
SK we don't really know if they're top 4 or top 6.
Giants, DragonBorns, Wolves & aAa we have no idea really. The early weeks have been hard to gauge, they have caused upsets, lost stupidly or have been totally crushed. When they play their game, they can beat anyone. Give it a few weeks and we may be able to call who is where when we can see who can consistently play their game. The scores don't mean a whole lot right now due to the skewed nature of the early weeks (top experienced teams vs weaker, less experienced teams). Wolves don't have their full lineup, aAa have played once, etc.
Basically anyone can beat anyone.

Wish they can pull a Vulcun and get a win or two this week, and that Bjergsen can handle the pressure. With the amount of hype and hope he received, it's going to be hard

I'd rank: EG (very powerful currently, however yet to be pushed out of their comfort zone) - GG (unless they continue to counterpick themselves and execute sloppily) - SK (unless they lose momentum completely) - fnatic (prevented from being higher as long as they slump) - Giants (could easily be higher if they keep up form) - DB (looked capable of endangering the top teams against SK, however not against EG) - Wolves (lots of bad luck, even though 0-5 didn't look too horrible, star players come back this week) - aAa (only one game yet, where they were stomped without a hope)

Fnatic above GG? Bold move 
My predictions:
Fnatic > Wolves
GIANTS > Gambit
Wolves > aAa
EG > Fnatic
DragonBorns > GIANTS
Fnatic > aAa
Wolves > DragonBorns
GIANTS > aAa
The balance will be there, except for EG winning all the time ofc

Fnatic even of slightly stronger than GG doesn't seem too farfetched although I still wonder if GG is actually trying out stuff in their LCS matches or if they just have super little slump right now again.
My biggest concern is Diamondprox with his seemingly small champ pool, now that Lee is only mediocore jungler and people always ban his Xin. I like that he's experimenting with new stuff like Voli but not sure if it's viable in the long run. Udyr+Shyvana also not soo good anymore =(

Everybody is there with GG, it's impossible to really understand their level. They seems weak, then 4-0 the Azubus back to back, then they come to LCS, play some random games. They feel really inconsistant and I'm not sure if it's because they are slumping or because they are not aiming for a 100 % win ratio.
Also Diamondprox play an amazing Mundo (and his champion pool is quite big, he just never shows it in competitive play).

Fnatic should still slap the Wolfs around with Bjergsen or not, that dude is must be a mesia to save the Wolfs from there bad sinergy. + he's overhyped.
Fnatic > Wolves

We can only hope Wolves can pull off a Vulcun.

I don't like fnatic without reckless (i hate yellowstar) so i think they will lose to the wolves if the hype of the Wolves is justified. I'm also rooting for aAa (french power) and i hope they pull the upsets against all these teams.

Game 1 of Day 1, starting in just 3 minutes.

I feel like when playing at their top potential, GG is better than Fnatic. However, in the current state Fnatic is playing better.
|
Gogo Fnatic! I want to see more xPeke highlight reels 
|
I wanna believe that Bjersen may be "the Chose One" but I love Xpeke too much.
|
It's not bold words at all, that's just truth, Yellowstar is not on par with Rekless at all.
