1 SSW
Had the hardest route through the knock out stage and game out on top
2 SSB
Not sure what happened to SSB I thought they would show up like they did during the regular season but that didn't happen but then again they did get beat by KT rolster bullets in the OGN finals.
3 NWS
Came totally unprepared for OMG but would have crushed royal club
4 EDG
Had a very slow start but started picking up the pace just it wasn't in time
5 SHRC
Proof you can hard carry not only through solo Q but all the way to the world finals UZI is a god among mortals
6 C9
Got a very unlucky knock out stage path
7 OMG
Had an extremely hard group stage with teams on about there level did about as I thought they would
8 Alliance
Should not have dropped the game against Kabum they were over looking the match thinking it was a free win.
9 TSM
Had an extremely easy placement into the knock out stage only having to compete with SK Gaming who was down a starting player and no korean team in brackets.
10 Fnatic
Got put into a very unlucky group but took a game off SSB
11 LMQ
Had an amazing start and then just fell to pieces
12 SK Gaming
Dumb life choices
13 TPA
Really under performed but I still think they will have there region locked down for next season
14 AHQ
Really showed up and actualy managed to put up a strong fight against SSW and EDG
15 Kabum E-Sports
Destroyer of Allainces dreams
16 Dark Passage
Got put into an extremely one sided group but were just happy to be there at worlds.
Based on what I saw at worlds I would say right now these teams are ranked in about this order. I really don't think SHRC had a hard path to the finals are all considering they were the only team that got to the knock out stage without playing a single korean team and didn't have to play against one until the finals.
I base this as if every single team were to play a best of 5 against every other team on the list.
