Rankings for LCS...

Rip my fantasy team, thought Origen would be 2-0

NA: 1: IMT 2: NRG 3: DIG 4: C9 5: CLG 6: REN (God dammit Royals Never Give Up) 7: TSM 8: TL 9: FOX 10: TiP

EU: 1: H2K 2: VIT 3: UOL 4: G2 5: ROC 6: OG 7: FNC 8: GIA 9: EL (This is very cautious, I expect them to fall back to last soon) 10: SPY

Ehh I wouldn't be jumping to conclusions off of one week of games. A lot of new teams haven't really practiced together or developed synergy, and almost the entirety of the LCS is new teams. Also, many teams lost their games solely off of a misread on the meta, and i remember Origen in particular had no power in their gaming house until like 3 days before the LCS started. The main thing im looking at this weak is individual player performance. I was very impressed by all the Renegades, they all stepped up imo. Also, the new additions to FNC seem to be doing great, Gamsu needs some coaching though, but Noxiak and Spirit I've been very impressed with so far. Wildturtle impressed me a lot, and I was quite a fan of NRG's new players.

I still think NRG, C9, IMT, and TSM will make an extremely strong top 4 in NA with a little drop off before the next 4 (CLG, RNG, TL, DIG). I'm not as excited about Echo Fox as you are though.

EU i think will still be OG, H2K, FNC, and Vitality at the top in no particular order (Right now it looks like H2K>VIT>FNC>OG but i think that is extremely dynamic and has a high chance to change throughout the split)

After that idk. UOL looks very good, they actually have a macro game now, Giants and Elements look really bad in my opinion, like TIP level, Splyce i think might need some more adjusting to the LCS scene, the individual players didn't seem too bad. G2 i think will be very good at the end of the split, Roccat i think will fall off, Splyce will improve to a mid tier team, and UOL vs G2 will be an intense battle for 5th place.

NA

1. IMT
2. NRG
3. C9/TSM/CLG
4. TIP

Rest is all to unpredictable atm.

EU

1. H2k
2. Origen
3. Fnatic/Vit
4. UoL/G2

Bottom tiers teams are also too unpredictable

You guys are dismissing TSM too readily. They're pretty much a gigantic wild card because their games depend on how sloppy they play. If they decide to buckle down and stop playing sloppy you could see them win. Their win vs TL was pretty much an upset because TSM let us think that TL had the game in a bag.
