OWL Post Games 1&2 - Rise of the Expansion Teams

Now that all teams have played at least one game, it's a good time to share on the first look on S2 teams, especially the new ones.

To my pleasant surprise, the expansion teams won more against the S1 teams. I was expecting more from the S1 teams given that they should be more used to the format, tempo, infrastructure, etc.

While some S1 teams had major reshuffling so they're basically new teams, were the results from the expansion teams due to nerves (coughs), luck, or are some of them simply just straight up stronger? It's only 1-2 games, but have at it.

This season might be more interesting. No moth meta and what not please, ty.

Hard to judge too much based of 1 match for some teams, if they lost or won some weak team (Shanghai, Washington, Florida). Would still agree that Hangzhou Spark is probably very high in standings after Stage 1. Atlanta was pretty solid too vs Philly. Paris stomped London, but have to see vs some better Goats team, what actually happens.

Wouldn't say too much yet about Vancouver (winning Shanghai is not a feat...), Washington (losing to NYXL was expected, but 1 map win was maybe impressive), Toronto (Houston looks pretty average/weak at the moment), Chengdu won vs Guangzhou so not so what to expected from these teams.

Compared to most power rankings:

Teams that would be higher: Atlanta, Boston
Teams that would be lower: London, Shanghai
