There really shouldn't even be a power ranking going from 1-16. You can just bracket teams by consistency and that would be top 3 DPC points on the top.
They're going to have to call it something else then!

OG was quite fortunate in their wins against EG and LGD. I'm pretty sure they would lose 6-7 out of 10 games against LGD, Liquid, EG. Agree with this. Maybe slightly better against EG, but hey, those aren't too bad odds. LGD feels a bit like TL from last year, that when they're rolling, they make the other team look pretty bad. Admittedly, this can be said about a lot of peaking teams in the past. What.. Trent (?) said (which echoes I think a common sentiment), is that TL at least rarely/if ever look really bad/completely out of a game, whereas LGD more frequently seem to get crushed. As a biased fan, I perhaps weigh some of LGD's losses more heavily. | ||

As a biased fan, I perhaps weigh some of LGD's losses more heavily. about the last part, nah I think that's really just you noticing it more because you're an LGD fan. I'd personally describe them as one of the more stable teams and look at Liquid as one of the teams that more often than other teams, has some weird off games. Perhaps that's just my own perception of things because I care more about the Liquid loses than I do about someone else losing. I'm a bit surprised OG is in the grandfinals tbh but yeah, them being top8 isn't surprising at all. Purge had them as "really good" in hiw video together with Slacks as well (the one where they fill out TI predictions for compendium) | ||
