First off here is a picture of the equation http://imgur.com/AT0EfZ6 I used the top 6 teams in the NA LCS and used their results from the regular season to calculate their rank using this equation. I only used the top 6 because it takes about an hour to calculate a single teams result. What I got was... TSM- 5.80 Cloud 9- 4.66 CLG- 4.65 TiP- 4.45 Liquid- 4.44 Gravity- 4.43 As you can see the results are pretty tight in some cases and then there is TSM. TSM is the result of having several outlier games of just demolishing teams and having no games in which they themselves got demolished. The equation isn't perfect but it is a pretty accurate placement of the teams and I think it could be used as an alternative to the "voting by a panel of experts". Reasoning for parts of the equation: The (5(114xtime)) is to get rid of all gold earned passively (not including passive gold on items) by players and counts only earned gold. The reasoning for the +1s by (Team KDA/100) and (team deaths/team kills) is to be a stablizer and prevent punishing teams for having a worse KDA but being rewarding teams with negative KDAs.

It looks likes a sideways approach.

You could calculate all of this pretty quickly using Wolfram, once you have the team stats.
