The time has come for an official update to the North American top ten rankings. GotFrag is proud to present the second official North American Call of Duty 4 top ten. It has been two months since the list was first compiled and, as was expected, there have been considerable changes in the meantime. We have seen CEVO-P s1, TGL-P s1, and NERV 2 come and go just as we have seen a handful of teams come and go. But, as the saying goes, a look toward the top of the rankings reveals that the more things change, the more they stay the same. The list as you see it today reflects the state of North American CoD4 immediately following TGL-P and CEVO-P placement. Here is the updated top ten:
Is anybody shocked to see Evil Geniuses retain their position at the head of the class? Of course not. These guys have won everything they have competed in lately, building an impressive streak of championships that rivals any former CoD great. Likewise, it comes as no surprise that their perennial runner-up, Team Pandemic, lock up the two spot. Pandemic were second in the first top ten poll, second in CEVO-P, second in TGL-P, second at NERV 2, and it is only fitting that they remain in second on this updated list. However, both EG and Pandemic will be making the trip to Europe soon so we are likely to see them continue to go at it. Coming in at number 3 is MoBgaming. While the team may be dead now, they were alive during polling and they were certainly alive during the time that the poll considers. Despite their disappointment at NERV, MoB had a reputation as one of the best and they held to this name one final time in TGL-P playoffs where they were two rounds shy of defeating EG 2-0. Typically, the top three vote getters are noticeably separated from the rest of the field and then there is a race between fourth and fifth. That is clearly not the case this month as 50cal, formerly Dynamo, fall into the four spot a single point shy of MoB. Regardless, with MoB out of the picture presently, 50cal may rightly consider themselves to be the third best team in North America. Moving down the list we see x3o and FocaL in fifth and sixth respectively. These two clubs have been on the scene competing in top divisions together since early on. Making their first showing on the rankings at number seven is MoBdeep. Here is a team that received as many top five votes as they did tenth place votes. Clearly, the community is split on where to rank the third place NERV finishers in the wake of their roster overhaul. The final three teams join MoBdeep in being new to the list. Iconic, formerly Sinister, retooled their roster following NERV, gained entry to CEVO-Professional, and have been impressive of late. They, like MoBdeep, have ample opportunity to move right up through the rankings pending a successful CEVO-P season. Despite having only matched twice, Sirefrosty’s new club chalks up the ninth position. Will this new team reclaim the former glory of their 20id.CoD2 days? Coming in at ten is another new addition to CEVO-Professional, Seraphic. After roster issues surrounding NERV, this side has regrouped and will be taking CEVO-P very seriously in an attempt to climb the ladder. With the league beginning one week from today, all eyes will be on North America’s best as they battle it out twice a week. Just outside of the top then this time are Esomenic, makeSHIFT, Maingear, and Legacy. Page:
