Voter Criteria:

14 ballots receivedDespite sitting as the lone undefeated team in North America, Team Freedom was not a unanimous #1. The gap between the top 3 in NA and the remaining 5 continues to grow. With all 5 teams in the lower rankings sitting at (1-2), it became pretty chaotic. HeroesHearth got the most praise for their win for their dominance of Spacestation Gaming and their impressive games against Team Freedom. There's so much chaos the ironically, Simplicity is right above Gale Force, who is right above LFM, who is right above Spacestation Gaming. This despite that Spacestation beat LFM, who beat Gale Force, who beat Simplicity. NA is kind of weird right now.14 ballots receivedTeam Dignitas was a unanimous #1. Leftovers was a unanimous #8. Beyond that, there were votes all over the place. Notably, 3rd to 6th is a massive traffic jam that could almost be put into any order at this point. Tricked Esports notably has risen above preseason expectations, where they were picked #6. Fnatic is still comfortably at #2 despite their loss to Zealots.Unless otherwise noted, the following voted in both the NA and EU polls AlexD1dz - HeroesHearth (only NA ballot this week) anne_elise - writer for Trolls.gg Bahgz - co-host of Trollin' HGC CriticKitten - HeroesHearth staff writer DBSmiley - HeroesHearth, poll manager, former host of 323 Weekly Dyluuxx - Heroes Esports official EsportsJohn - Managing Editor at LiquidHeroes (only EU ballot this week) Flagg - Writer for Heroes Esports official, Heroes Hype, and former cohost of 323 Weekly Hoofit - TrollsGG Esports Writer hyzenthlayed - Content Creator with Dignitas LiQiuD - TrollsGG, Trollin' HGC Host Matjee - Content creator and esports editor for HeroesFan.cz MoonPrayer - Content Creator with Tempo Storm Romaz - Content Creator with Dignitas TrentEsports - Esports blogger and host of Entry Level EsportsVoters have previous published specifically HGC related content (not just Heroes of the Storm content).
