Just Outside: MoB Deep, Veritas
It should come as no surprise that the top two vote getters are Evil Geniuses and Team Pandemic respectively. This pair finished one and two in CEVO-Professional and frequent the top ranks in other competitions. EG entered the CEVO-Professional playoffs as a fairly substantial underdog yet they overcame roster difficulties and brought home the title. This talented display coupled with a second place NERV finish and a third place i33 finish catapulted EG straight to the top with 13 of 18 first place votes. The race was not particularly close between EG and Pandemic, but the latter did garner more than two thirds of the second place votes keeping them well ahead of the third place vote getter.
Speaking of that number three spot, Nexus brings in the honor although one could argue they would have finished higher had they not fallen apart before the CEVO postseason. The numbers start to become interesting as we work our way into the number four spot. The Guardians nudged out MoB Gaming even though they were left off of several lists due to recent inactivity. Coming in at number six is PowerHouse Gaming. With the recent acquisition of flak, PHG is poised to stake a claim in the top five.
In seventh is Frag Dominant, a team that has, for all intents and purposes, been together for about five matches. Nevertheless, the team did make CEVO-P playoffs and is looking to start off strong in TGL-P. Rounding out the list is Focal, Dynamo, and Team Dynamic in eight, ninth and tenth respectively.

Consistency is the order of the day as the new MYM squad take the top spot in our latest European rankings. Despite the fact that they have yet to place first at a major event, MYM have shown a staying power that rivals Dignitas and fnatic have yet to display. Although at least one win is likely to be needed this Summer for the UK side to hang on to the top spot, for now they deserve it after two great performances at CDC4 and i33. Second place fnatic were perhaps unlucky at i33, losing twice in overtime, but will have been devestated to finish outside the top three and it has cost them the top spot here. The return of Rickard "zEm" Intveld will surely improve the team in the long run but it looked like i33 came too soon for fnatic.
Dignitas on the other hand looked unstoppable at i33 but another strong performance is needed to confirm the potential of their new lineup. Bas "SKO" Dirks has been a revelation for the side, taking them from outsiders to champions with a style of play that allows the likes of "Blackmane" and "Raz" to really shine. eSuba take the fourth spot after Dignitas following their eminently impressive performance at CDC4. With so much talent on their roster, the Czechs are a definite dark horse to take home a major title this Summer. The side formerly known as oXmoze take fifth after a string of consistent finishes.
Two big names sit in sixth and seventh, TEK9 and SK-Gaming. Both are undeniably talented but have yet to really step up when it counts. TEK9 in particular have been wraught with inactivity and were forced to use a stand-in at i33, seeing them drop five places from the last Call of Duty rankings. LowLandLions in eighth are in a similar position, their big lineup change has cost them in the rankings and they need to perform this Summer to stay in the top ten. Ninth placed Roskilde performed admirably at both CDC4 and i33 but just need to work on their mentality in playoff matches if they want to keep growing. Finally, EXABYTE sit in tenth after a strong showing at i33 and honorable mention goes to DCC-Gaming for their performance at CDC4.
