#HGC EU Power Rankings After Three Weeks

Leading The Pack: Misfits 4-0 (12-3) - Key wins against FNATIC and Team Dignitas

Before league play started, I said that Misfits was on a mission after losing a tie-breaker and missing Blizzcon last year. Misfits has been in charge of every match, and they have already defeated the other two top contenders. The only top team they haven't faced is Team Expert, and that will happen next week. Misfits is a lock for the Western Clash and the Mid Season Brawl.

In The Hunt: FNATIC 4-1 (14-6); Team Dignitas 3-1 (9-4) - Both have beaten Team Expert and lost to Misfits

Right now, FNATIC and Dignitas are lagging behind Misfits. Both are likely heading to the Western Clash, but they will be fighting it out for the second spot in the Mid-Season Brawl. FNATIC is slightly ahead of Dig, as Dig was swept by Misfits, where as FNATIC took Misfits to five games.

Chasing: Team Expert 3-2 (12-6); Playing Ducks 2-2 (7-9) - No key wins or losses. 

Expert was on a tear at the start, winning three matches without dropping a map. Expert played well against FNATIC and Dignitas, but lost both.

Playing Ducks have beaten the lower teams, but they haven't been able to play with the contenders.

Both teams are likely to stay where they are - not in danger of relegation; not going to international competition.

In Trouble: Tricked eSport 1-4 (6-13) - Beating Synergy keeps them out of the bottom. 

Alex the Pro G is one of the best players in Europe, and the longer this team plays, the better they are getting. They have to remain ahead in early games, or they tend to falter. Bad calls are hurting this team right now; over-aggression needs to be tempered.

Heading to the Crucible: Synergy 1-4 (4-13); beGenius 0-4 (2-12) - Neither team has shown anything special. 

Right now, Synergy and beGenius are clearly at the bottom. Synergy's only win and three of their four map wins, came against beGenius. Synergy has been swept three times already. Their one other map win came against Tricked, and that had more to do with Tricked making a bad call than with Synergy making a good choice.

beGenius just cannot figure it out. They haven't played terribly, but they have just been outplayed each and every match. Often losing slightly in the draft, and then losing harder as the games go on. Only two map wins in four matches, this is the team most likely to lose their relegation match.
