In the first Official GotFrag WoW 3v3 World Rankings, Pandemic dominated all by taking the top spot and all the first place votes.

Clearly, 2007 plays a huge roll in the first ever GotFrag WoW 3v3 World Rankings. Pandemic was far and away the best team last year and they earn all the first place votes to sweep the top spot. It was not nearly as clean for the rest of the field as many teams claimed second place votes. Once calculated, MoB TurtleForce established themselves as the clear second best. After first and second place was established, it was a melee for the rest of the spots with Nihilum earning the 6th spot. A lot of eyes will be on that team at MLG San Diego.

#3,

The original Fnatic was Vo0, Ztrider, and 2GD, but that was only in China. After the 2nd WSVG event, they picked up Insurrection, who was the only team to challenge Pandemic at the first few tournaments.

Hmm weird. "Dude I got it on FRAPS" and "Shadowplay" are the same team.

Expect these rankings to change a lot in the upcoming events, most of this is just based on last year's tournaments with a little bit of the online ladder thrown in.

yeah always the frst rankings are a little bit random.A team to deserve the first spot should be at top3 standings of at least 3 or 4 international tours every year.IMO always.But you see team fnatic at cs a;ways places high at standings if they don't win the tour

Go Frag Dominant!

EDIT: FD is now EG.

I think that this is the first gotfrag rankings chart I've ever seen to be shown as so completely inaccurate :(

The rankings are still solid imo #16 -- you can't base everything around one event turning the top teams upside down. FD is no question on the move up but you have to keep in mind TurtleForce, Fnatic, and ourselves were atop every single event until San Diego. There's a reason we received every first place vote for the initial poll, but we'll have to score another big win after this poor showing to stay there.

The rest of the top 10 was largely based around what little competition WoW has seen since Dreamhack (live play and the early TR, but no LANs).

I'd expect the world rankings to be updated on the same type of timeline as the CS/CoD/other polls, and by the time Paris, Orlando, and the CGS and Blizz TR's have passed, I think you'll be able to make the proper adjustments.

WOW is gay, that is all.

@Lemly:

The rankings accurately reflect who IS IN the top10, not really the particular order. The MLG event has been described as having a CPL feel and more importance generally than any other event for WoW to date. In that light Pandemic, while still great, has certainly shown that under the pressure of such an immense event they fell short.

Look forward to watching them in the next one though.

I don't think you can compare the weight of the debut MLG event to last year's world championship at Dreamhack, Sweden, and I think they more than proved their ability to perform under pressure.

Not only did we have a huge bullseye on our back after '07, but we were having our own issues with transactions and poor meta game management. If FD wins again at Orlando and we come up short again, I think then you can definitely make the argument. We didn't even earn our respect last year until about the third WSVG.

As I said before, there's no doubt the rankings will start shifting late this season but until then you can't just disregard the entire past year for one event.

Anyone who has been around GotFrag long enough knows there is a serious Pandemic bias. Trace the rankings and I'm sure you will find people who are well connected to Pandemic. It was the same way in CoD & CS. Their teams would always be like +5 spots from where they should be.
