now that we've had time to watch or rewatch preseason matches and start to analyze all the teams ( but the Fusion of course)
. In the preseason, a lot of questions rose regarding how teams stacked up against each other and starting line ups. also include what you think the standings will be. Mine are:

1. Seoul Dynasty
2. London Spitfire
3. Dallas Fuel
4. Houston Outlaws
5. NYXL
6. San Fran Shock
7. LA Valiant
8. LA Gladiators
9. Philadelphia Fusion
10. Boston Uprising
11. Florida Mayhem
12. Shanghai Dragons
    So, discuss
    PS merry Christmas everyone

If you don't remember, he came out of retirement 2 weeks ago

I remember right before contenders season zero, this team started to heat up. But since Rise Nation was a rather small org and that they were worried about OWL, they disbanded. The team did compete as Midnight sucks, but when you lose that paycheck and teamhouse, things just feel different and they didn't qualify. When NRG released Dummy, their were rumors that they were going to pick up Phaz to replace Ajax, and Xretzi to fill in for Seagull's spot. I just think its nice for this team to try and come back to where they used to be toward the end, but this was kin of late because if they don't get picked up by a challenger or contenders team, which seems unlikly because the roster would have been announced with the challenger team, it could be hard for their name to get out in Open Division

Lets hope there's no more candles for BP

Rise Nation is back baby

so will the Shock's team be called NRG and Miami's the Misfits

WOW!!! Good job on the list. I can't wait for the regular season to start. If play is as close as the pre season was, OWL could have a chance

a seven nation army couldn't hold him back

I remember during the 2016 WC when Oputo would just go off on Mcree. He's a really good player and desreves to be focused around him.

lets go meza

Lets go Bazooka Puppies

This could be worse for all of us though

game 5 my boys

Screw all who said the Shock winning was crazy

i agree

I'm thinking about doing this every Sunday, so ill wait to put this up

Please Enigma, god of over.gg give us our wish

So are you telling me that a team of Immortals and Nomy should not have been taken seriously because the "caliber" of teams wasn't good enough. At the time of the Winter Premier and Carbon Series, both Rouge and Selfless were building their new rosters. Rouge became the great they are today in February, a month after the Winter Premier and right when the Carbon series took place. When it comes to Selfless, it wasn't until the Pit Championships were they were taken seriously. So at the time of the Winter Premier and Carbon Series, Immortals was better. And how is Nomy, the main tank for one of the greatest na teams, considered average. Average doesn't make it into OWL.

so where is the stream at, Youtube

I like your list a lot but i don't think the Uprising could make it as high as 7th and the Outlaws and Shock that low

also, a dynasty is not one just season, its multiple championships in a set period of time,

does the Winter Premier and the Carbon Series, the two season style tournaments in 2017 prior to Contenders S1 not mean anything to u. Are you going to come up and tell me for the first half of 2017, Immortals wasn't the best team in NA. For how long was Immortals considered a constant contender for every tournament they were in. So in the Winter Premier and Carbon series, you really thing that Nomy, in a triple tank meta where Reinhart was a key part of, had nothing to do with their winnings. The main reason Immortals gave him the boot was when triple tank was falling from the meta and dive was coming in, Reinhart fell from the meta. Several reinhart mains such as Nomy, Numlocked, and Fragi struggled badly because its hard to land shatters on such fast moving targets. He is one of the best Main tanks in the game. Your just pissed that you can't hit 5 man shatters like him. Come back and we'll talk about the Shock's " very poor" Supports in Dhak and sleepy

y

Insa-Win, no koreans, lets give him a round of aplause
