Fnatic’s early struggles since the loss of Tentpole have left the door open for Pentagram who has recently won ESL Masters and has been very solid. MiBR’s victory at SHGOpen has vaulted them up seven places as people seem to be believers in this lineup if fnx is actually playing. H2K has risen with good play at ESL Masters, as well showing that this event has really become the center of play during the "off-season" of eSports. With the big events of ESWC and others coming up later in the year, the Asian teams should make a return to the top spots.

Complexity remains atop the US rankings but barely as they continue to slide. The victory at CSA allowed them to maintain the top spot for now. Pandemic coming off the rebound win at Buy.com still has question marks with their lack of ability to win CEVO-Pro. Turmoil continues to be the most consistent picking up second places in most of their events. JMC and EG both sitting on the Source, 1.6 fence hold on at 4th and 5th in the rankings. New additions revoltados esports and immiNent Demise both had solid play at either CEVO-Pro finals or Buy.com but neither had results in both.

The big news is the top spot that moved from fnatic to Pentagram. Confidence has been shaken in fnatic’s new lineup that wasn’t able to break through at ESL Masters while Pentagram overcame an early loss to win the event. Below SK.swe continues to build momentum all though, the team can’t seem to find the necessary success to beat out the top two. H2K is the new man on the block after they knocked off fnatic and Pentagram in back to back games at ESL Masters, they’ll need more consistency and tournament results to move up further.
