The North American League Championship Series took a break, but it didn’t mean things were quiet in the world of esports. Cloud9 struggled, Phoenix1 had some surprising wins, and the top teams are facing some challenges. Here is the updated power rankings for the NA LCS.
The power rankings are based on the rankings submitted by the GAMURS staff. Each staff member ranked the teams from best to worst. The team in first place gets 10 points, while the team in last place gets one point.
After every week of games, we will release an updated power rankings article. So be sure to check back each week for the latest rankings.
Without further ado, here are the power rankings for the NA LCS on March 2nd:
