    Mostly good good ESPN

17. Why do I have the feeling that these guys doesn't even play or know league really well?

18. Go see League on Lock's Global Power rankings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtcY_l7Bd5E this is a good power ranking not like this sht ESPN is giving us

19. I don't really watch much LPL, so I can't really argue much. I don't think any western team should be in the top 5, but I think with G2 performances, it could lead to a discussion as why they aren't in the top 5. With the LPL's performance at worlds, I find it hard to believe that the improved G2 isn't better than some of their tops?

20. LPL bias

21. I can't say I'm suprised by these rankings considering ESPN has only been paying attention to e-sports for a very short period of time. Wasn't too long ago that ESPN analysts were mocking e-sports and their president said they weren't sports. You guys have come a long way but you still have a long, long way to go.

22. Keep using Emily

23. Congrats emily!

24. No sandbox??

25. 1.Griffin
    2.IG
    3.Phoenix
    4.G2
    5.Sandbox

26. Get your shit together. This is NOT a good tier list.

27. 4/5 best teams in the world aren't Chinese. What is this joke and JDG isn't even on here. YIKES!!!

28. Hey ESPN esports! Wanted to thank you guys for doing these comparisons and videos. Highly underrated channel that I feel needs a lot more viewership!

    I feel like it was an accurate display of power rankings. I have been following LCK mainly, and their teams are definitely not there yet. The scores speak for themselves when you’re looking at who is separating from the pack. Most of the LCK teams are all over the place, and have the same team comp each match, and the players seem lost a lot of the times.

    I’m hoping LCK can move up, but they definitely need a lot of clean up to be considered majority top 5 team

29. So do we not remember Western teams dominating the east at worlds? G2 and TL are definitely top contenders, but I assume they won't be on your list until MSI. Also, work on your production quality/script… Very VERY cheesy.

30. I have a feeling a lot of people commenting don't watch LPL. It's all super teams this year. FPX def overhyped, TOP too. But neither is lower than 9th AT WORST. I'd probably sub in Sandbox and G2/TL but these Chinese teams have a really strong case too.

31. I don't even think the most biased chinese analysts would say 4/5 of the top 5 teams are from LPL… G2 was 3rd best at worlds and got massive upgrades. Schalke also is looking pretty scary

32. I dont understand why there are set teams that can be chosen…its bs. Some of the top teams arent even a option? Why limit like this..get it together espn if you want to really dabble in esports..

33. AT THIS POINT I REALLY THINK IT'S A MEME

34. Jdg is above RNG and Sandbox; meanwhile SKT isn’t in the top 10.
    I feel like some of these are just throwing darts at a board.

35. Biased rankings g2 and liquid could take down 3 of the lpl teams.

36. No Sandbox? :O

37. We partly got rid of Korea now we get LPL, four LPL teams better than G2 are you serious

38. G2 are 6-0, the LEC isnt a wild card region and there are many good teams. How are they not at least 5th??

39. Why are most of the teams from LPL ?!!!?????!?!?!?!

40. Common LPL? ?? I.G is the only Better Team There

41. These people get paid to make dumb ass list like this. Let that sink in.

42. Lol, I expected something different from the first one, not just a literal repaste

43. Surprised that TSM isn't number 1 Kappa

44. Is this an actual evaluation? Seems somewhat biased towards China when LCK looks very good. I’m so confused.

45. Imagine thinking 4 of out the 5 best teams in the world are lpl even though the lpl were one game away from not getting a single team past the quarters at worlds. Awful list
