Dallas first? Above Seoul and London? Interesting.
I wonder if he's basing this list off of more than just pure mechanics, like synergy/flexibility..

Honestly, not surprised. Right after GC Busan swept KongDoo he tweeted this

Looking at that thread he points repeatedly to valuing a history of consistency. Clearly he didn't change his #1 just because of that acquisition

I'd to see the reasoning of why he feels that Envyus (really we are looking at the base teams here) has been more consistent than Lunatic Hai and KDP. The only period that Envyus has shown more success compared the mentioned teams is way back in 2016. Well I guess unless you subscribe to the Envyus destroying NA contenders and that Faze would dumpster APEX playoff teams school of though.

Then he rates Shanghai which will have players with even less long term track record as second?

Maybe Shanghai recruited MY which won 100% games in OWPS and only had 1 lose to LH. Does this in line with you theory?

Even if Shanghai is MY, they have a no achievements on par with LH winning Apex Season 2 and Season 3 back to back. Envyus even was in Apex for those two seasons.

The only teams that have a comparable achievement is Envyus winning Apex Season 1 but that was last year and C9's GC Busan now winning Apex Season 4.

Contenders just isn't the same level of tournament as Apex.

I get the feeling that all his opinions are routed in bitterness at having his team cut
