Overview of the format

SEOU still ranked after losing to a nerd school

definitely a weird mix for me lol

RAE Region Rating over the course of the Open Era. Tells a pretty interesting story imo

Region Rating Across the Event/Regional Top 16 Ratings by Region

📊 FINAL RAE POST-WORLDS UPDATE 🧵 (1/?) - RAE correctly predicted Falcons to win, and has SSG and KC sitting a tier behind them. The model went 77% this LAN, its best offline performance of the season. - NA fell back down to Earth a bit, but still a great LAN for the region.

Average RLCS grand final. Anyways here's the bit updated for this year

Either Falcons completes their years-long road to the top or SSG breaks the RLCS’ longest-lasting curse. Surely this one won’t disappoint again.

exciting

pulling out the reagan quote for this

And lastly, region rating across the event and regional top 16 rankings. Can't wait for NA to blow this.

KC and Falcons now sit as the top two favorites, but there is a dense cluster of NA teams right behind them. SSG's individual strength starting to push them towards the top. Average # of NA teams in Top 6: 3.96 Average # of NA teams in Top 4: 2.53

📊 RAE UPDATE POST-WORLDS DAY 4 🧵 (1/5) - North America just keeps rolling. Easily the best position the region as a whole has ever been in since LA. - Falcons and KC remain in the top 2 as the rest of the worlds' best hopes to stop the NA tidal wave... GM8 are here too

Updated odds with the new playoff bracket. By region: EU - 41.3% NA - 41.2% MENA - 17.2% SAM - 0.4%

I'll leave y'all with some charts. The first is region rating over the course of the event, while the second is ratings for each region's top 16 teams. Note NA in both charts, and how SAM actually has a top 3 placement (11th best team) in the latter!

KC's big win today puts them as 30% favorites with a friendly bracket path. They are followed by FUT and VP (do not scratch your eyes), then Falcons. NRG has quietly risen to 7% odds, with VIT, SSG, TM, and GM8 trying to scrape through lowers. Tough draw for SR, MCI, and FURIA.

📊 RAE UPDATE POST-WORLDS DAY 3 🧵 (1/5) (for real this time) - KC > FLCN has moved everyone closer together while putting KC as tentative tournament favorites. VIT also up in 2nd still unfortunately - The NA Horde has absorbed GM8 and continues to roll. NRG-SR bottom two there

matches tomorrow: - PARIS RUNNERS-UP VS BOSTON CHAMPIONS - mid eu team vs mid na team - firstkiller vs a brick wall - VITALITY-FURIA REVIVAL
