Thanks to Travis for giving this a home and to his editor Drew for putting this together!

[@Mr0Randomness]

Cubby you’ve gotten so good on camera and have such a confident presence!

[@Teaganharris]

Great presentation on the video Cubby, well done.

[@Cubbyxx]

@@Mr0Randomness Still not my strong suit, honestly easier to be on camera for casts than this haha

[@bladesofglory100]

Only thing wrong with this list is that SR isn’t first after Ludwig subs in for Jg and annexes Brazil with his amumu

[@oconnomo]

So...the biggest thing I noticed watching this video is that Fudge has hit the gym hard AF and made gigantic physique gains since the clips shown.

[@tztech2382]

Thanks for posting the content! Love it!

[@RedstoneRanger777]

I recommend saying in the thumbnail or title that this is a cubby video. I almost didn’t click on it since I don’t care much for Travis’ opinion on power rankings. Cubby on the other hand I do and was pleasantly surprised to see his face when clicking on the video.

I respect the contractz love. he is always underrated

[@Brandonpox]

Thanks for the video cubby. Get that invoice in, and drew.

Trusting Vulcan in big 2025 is crazy ngl

[@TonyLee-fm2fy]

Good shit Cub

[@samdoe532]

Go Cubby!!! I appreciate you!

[@samdoe532]

Also go Drew! I appreciate you to!

[@tztech2382]

My two cents is that Tomo is a better ADC than FBI.

[@ylin1925]

He prob is. FBI been playing for way too long and he hasnt really shown that he can compete internationally

[@Spctr380]

Great info thanks!

[@bugjuicereviews]

Can't wait to see if some of the bottom feeders can finally get off the ground or if they're doomed to poor placements.

[@uhmareikuh]

great post

[@pn9043]

Love these kinds of videos on the channel!

[@iGotaIPHONE]

Let’s go guys

[@TallDynamicFella]

Great analysis as always. I'm not too sure about this Palafax guy tho

[@leozacharydickenson769]

Absolutely agree with the top 4. Feels like anyone's game for the rest of the league though, and if any one of those teams overperform they could knock Thieves (and/or a slumping C9/TL?) to 5th I think!

[@Mr0Randomness]

Cubby is so delightful

[@hippityhoppityw]

Pretty much hit the nail on the head with this imo. I think Shopify has the highest ceiling out of the B tier and lower, Im a contractz fan boy though.

[@swayarrow]

very similar to mine good stuff cubby

[@rl-pavel]

Seems like an interesting split, I could see even the lower tier teams (except for Lion maybe) fighting for top half if things go well. SR is definitely my dark horse, hoping for some NRG magic! I still doubt the C9 roster though. I like that they have Inero, but I don't think he's had much success with mixed language rosters, last Immortals one being the most recent example. River/Gori run at GG is the only exception I can think of, but I think that was mostly River being River. Wish him success with it tho.

[@ThePavin]

Hell ya

[@OldSchoolGM94]

I have Shopify as firm 8th. I think Palafox has never been a top 3 midlaner in NA and I don't think he is top 5 currently.

[@cedrichofstetter4057]

I'm so excited for LTA to start! I'm extra excited for split two and the new riot fantasy app that'll have both north and south players. Gonna give extra reason to watch both regions

[@salvadorguzman403]

Maybe I just haven't watched enough of CBLOL but its crazy to think I've seen people saying IE is going to be a top contender in LTAS BUT Lyon is going to be a bottom feeder in LTAN. Did we get the weaker of the 2 LATAM teams? Or are we saying CBLOL is even weaker than LLA was 😂😂

[@gregpartridge7554]

The CBLoL and LLA 1 seeds were pretty evenly matched at worlds last year, and I wouldn't be surprised if this IE team is stronger than that R7 was. So I don't think the take is that crazy. And yes, in players' current forms I'd also expect Lyon is weaker than IE.

[@Air_OK]

This is the first season I’m interested in watching since 2020, hoping the new format will be the breath of fresh air the region has needed for years

[@CB38096]

Best of 5’s fearless draft has been soooo fun with LPL. Every game actually feels different/new. Best of 3’s fearless seems fun still but just not the same chance for crazy comps

[@YOxITSxKENNYx719]

TL being S tier is insane...they were nowhere near Fly's level by the end of the year

[@Odel964]

Nah some people will argue it was js a bad meta read but tl was better than fly for majority of the year and with the time off there definitely not that far behind ur acting like flyquest clears everyone Tl literally beat fly multiple times in summer and they took a game off them at worlds

[@YOxITSxKENNYx719]

@Odel964 that literally proves my point...if a meta shift is all it takes to take you from the barely (fly wasn't that much weaker in the early part of the season) best team to a distant second best team than you're very clearly a worse team and shouldn't be in the same tier as Fly

[@Odel964]

@@YOxITSxKENNYx719 buddy what is this logic 1 bad performances dosent mean anything Fly literally played like shit at MSI and at EWC when TL actually preformed and we all know that final in summer was a fluke tl just didn’t show up on the day and FLYS run to the knockouts wasn’t anything impressive they barely beat good teams to make it there and then they lost to the actual good teams

[@YOxITSxKENNYx719]

@Odel964 it's simple logic really...a team in S tier should be able to adapt to changes and still be the best team in the league...if you're relying on the meta the help your team win than you have no business in S tier

[@CB38096]

@@YOxITSxKENNYx719 idk is there a “meta” with fearless draft tho?? Odds are APA will get to play at least one of his pocket picks in a Bo3. I think the rest of the team have a deep enough champion pool. I would still say FLY and TL are pretty close for bot and top lane but that still puts TL above all the other teams which means S tier seems appropriate, but with FLY still on top.

[@tztech2382]

My two cents: C9 needs macro shot calling. Tomo is a better ADC than FBI. I love the players on Dig, hate the org. There is something systematically wrong with that org. Like IMT and TSM of old, Dig tends to suppress talent rather than enable it. Hope I'm wrong.

[@Odel964]

How did u manage to go 0/3
