PLAY-IN RECAP: During the play-in round as a whole, higher ranked teams in the #eGOAT rankings finished 16-12 (57%) in matches and 22-16 (58%) in games, about 10% below the summer split mark of 68% (269-124). https://twitter.com/BillyVonElds/status/1309932545740546052
This chart compares each play-in teams' worldwide ranking that I posted before the tournament against a traditional eGOAT calculation using just the games from the play-in.
At minimum directionally accurate, with the biggest misses being MAD, LGD and SuperMassive.

LGD bounced back a bit once they reached the best of five round, so the team playing tonight that I'm most interested in from an eGOAT perspective is Fnatic. If they underachieve as well, it may be further evidence that the LEC teams are all overrated in these rankings.
As I mentioned way back in Part 1 of this thread, the worldwide rankings include a league-based adjustment calibrated off of the results of the last three world championships. https://twitter.com/BillyVonElds/status/1308562562255126528?s=20
