EU: G2 & FNC have the most claim to spots BDS & SK have been fairly solid and willing to rely on local trained talent (korean botlane but SK was also the team willing to run with Doss of all ppl) KC has abnoxious fans who are a shame to their name, but the team itself the concept is exactly what you want in your league, there isnt a team out there with their own stadium and viewing parties. TLDR you cant kick them being relevant and recently bought in too. 6th is tough...for me its between Heretics and MAD, im unfamiliar with the spanish scene but like the french MAD seem to bring a lot of new fans and viewership. That being said i think im tempted to go for Heretics as they too have spanish roots but have done a better job being inclusive and mixed, sure theyve been disappointing for a big part but id give them a chance because of the content and their concept. NA: C9 & TL easiest pop to mind as core of NA FLY & 100T id say have the most hype around them and add to the league Shopify deserves a shot and a fresh start and last for me is DIG as theyve atleast been consistantly almost relevant whereas the others have been coasting to the fullest for some time now. Edit: holy shit i didnt know i shared Monte's movie taste xD Hook with Robin Williams is slept on and the '93 Three Musketiers for me is amazing and likely among my alltime favorites with other "bad/cheesy" stuff like The Rock and The Princess Bride.

Can tell Monte hasn't been to a live event in awhile cause going to Spring & Summer finals last year for LCS, 100T had some of the best presence there, in terms of giveaways merch etc. Might be one of the least disconnected teams. Yeah they're all in on shooters but they put in the work for LCS at least, which can't be said about other teams.

Lil pup tried to sneak JDG and TES there when there is G2 xdd? 1. GenG obv, 2. BLG, 3. T1 easily, 4. G2 obviously, 5. TES/JDG. Imagine thinking when G2 stomped LPL 2nd best team 3-0 in a BO5 to think TES or JDG would even be close to G2, or the other top 3, JDG maybe close but TES, nahh never.

Putting 100T in the bottom 2 LCS teams instead of Shopify is weird. The critique of their failed/discontinued products is also weird given they do have successful long-running products, unlike SR. if the critique is unsustainable business, 100T is one of the few sustainable businesses. Was hoping for some team vs team discussion about brand value and gameplay. This was kind of the typical "this player sucks that team sucks" shit-talk

HLE Other teams are so trash that they dont even deserve to be on the list, like this guy put DK 8th and TES 7th like?? DK would lose to Rouge from LEC or Immortals from LCS, like these 7 teams are desent i placed, other teams are just literal garbage.
