#HGC NA Power Rankings After Three Weeks

Leading The Pack: Tempo Storm 4-0 (12-6) - Always winning, but rarely dominant 

Most of their series were 3-2 wins, and often, Tempo drops game one as they try to figure out their opponents. That said, they win every set, and they handed Team 8 their only loss. It's hard to argue that they are not still the top of the pack in NA, even if they don't look as strong as they should for their position.

In The Hunt: Team 8 4-1 (14-6) - Looked dominant in opening matches; beat GFE on their best maps. Lost to Tempo Storm. 

If Tempo Storm is all alone at the top, Team 8 is all alone in second. The NA shake out in league play has given us a clear 1 and 2, and if things stay as they are, Team 8 will be joining Tempo Storm at the Western Clash and the Brawl. Glaurung has been the best at out-drafting and out-playing other teams, and he seems to be taking this more seriously than ever. Team 8 is for real.

The Pack Of I Don't Even Know What: Gale Force eSports 3-2 (13-8); Superstars 2-2 (6-8); Team Freedom 2-3 (10-12); B-Step 2-3 (9-10)

OK, so GFE beat Superstars, Superstars beat Team Freedom, Team Freedom beat GFE, GFE beat B-Step, B-Step beat Team Freedom. If you can work out from that who has the lead in this pack, you are better than I.

GFE should come out of this pack in third, but their "four flex and a support" has some roster depth issues. Superstars has the most experience as a team, but Srey has said he cannot figure this meta out, and Hosty drafted an 0-3 series against GFE. Team Freedom looks strong twice, but Superstars and B-Step made them look like they belong in the Open Division. B-Step's losses are to Tempo, T8, and GFE, and they are the only team to make Tempo Storm look dominant, but they crushed No Tomorrow and Freedom.

Confused? You should be. NA is a mess in the 3-6 slot. Place bets on GFE and Superstars, but any of these four could wind up at the Clash or facing relegation in the Crucible.

Disappointing: Team Naventic 1-3 (6-11) - um, they took Tempo Storm to 5 games? 

Everyone had Naventic competing for a top three spot. GFE's sweep of them made them look horrible. Team Freedom made them look like they deserved to go to the Crucible. Their only win was against the very unimpressive No Tomorrow, and they still needed five games to get it. Naventic has nothing left at this point. They could come back, but they won't.

Should Be Heading Back To The Open Division: No Tomorrow 0-4 (3-12) - Just, ugh. 

I know I should find something good to say. They took Naventic to five games? Is that good? Their only other map win was against Superstars when Superstars had a bit of a throw. This team looked solid in the qualifiers, has received a ton of praise from other teams, even was ranked 4th/5th in a lot of preseason rankings. No Tomorrow may not have a tomorrow if they don't get it figured out and fast. UTA is rising in the Open Division and hungry to break in, and I doubt they will choose to face Naventic.

NA is a mess right now. When people in Twitch chat type "NA LOL," the play we've seen out of No Tomorrow justifies that attitude.
