Jönköping win pushes Complexity to first in Valve Americas Ranking

Complexity have rightfully regained their first place position in Valve's Americas Ranking this week as they still are celebrating their ESL Challenger Jonkoping win. The squad seemed shaky throughout the tournament, but came through when it mattered most as they are now one of the best overall teams in the world.

For the first time in Major history, Valve has done away with open qualifier to the Major and will instead rely upon their ranking to invite the top eight teams from the region directly to the RMR while the remaining eight spots will be divided equally between South America and North American through an invite-only 16 team closed qualifier. Four teams from each region will progress from the closed qualifier to advance to the RMR in Shanghai this November.

You can see the top fifteen teams below:

1. Complexity - 1,720 Points

2. Liquid - 1,670 Points

3. 9z - 1,536 Points

4. FURIA - 1,529 Points

5. MIBR - 1,520 Points

6. paiN - 1,438 Points

7. Imperial - 1,402 Points

8. M80 - 1,269 Points

9. RED - 1,226 Points

10. Fluxo - 1,180 Points

11. Legacy - 1,138 Points

12. Sharks - 1,075 Points

13. BESTIA - 1,069 Points

14. Nouns - 1,049 Points

15. Party Astronauts - 1,033 Points

Out of the top 15 teams, only Complexity, Liquid, and M80 would advance from the North American region directly to the RMR. Teams like Nouns, Party Astronauts, and more would have to qualify through the Closed Qualifier.
