I didn't rank NU because my team is loaded with amazing NU talent, but I will give my rankings/breakdown of the field.
Top tier: Eternally, Teddeh, LAX, and Kushalos
All four of these players are absolutely fantastic in my eyes and I would not be surprised if any of them put up 6-3 or better records.
While I am certainly quite biased, I do list Eternally first because I feel his grasp on teambuilding is second-to-none currently. In addition to this, he has the support of Rozes and even Santu, so you cannot expect him to come into any game with a match-up disadvantage. He also tends to avoid misplays, especially as of late, which is a pretty big positive in a lower tier field. All things considered, Eternally is somewhere in this top four without a doubt. I rank him higher than most and he will face strong competition from the others, but expect him to put up superb results in some capacity.
Teddeh is probably the conventional #1 pick in the metagame and that should be no surprise to anyone. At this point, Teddeh has scaled up the historic NU ranks to being one of the 5 best all-time NU players, if not one of the 3. He has a growing list of accomplishments, including a recent deep NU Open and Grand Slam run that thoroughly impressed me as a spectator. On top of this, he is the perfect embodiment of team tournament consistency in NU, going positive in just about every tournament he enters. While Teddeh's style sometimes grows a bit predictable, his in-game execution is second-to-none and if he can remain smart with team choices, which he has been excelling at doing in recent months, then you should expect him to put up a top record. Also, I feel his floor is like 5-4 at WORST, so he's a pretty secure and safe bet with all things considered.
LAX is a fireball, a true wildcard in some senses. His gameplay can be insanely high in skill and aggression, but his teams are a bit all over the place. Most of the time, he pilots pretty solid structures with an interesting Pokemon or moveset mixed in there. During Snake, he had a lot of success doing just that and I expect more of that moving forward. There is some risk involved with the firey NU player, however, as he has potential to take it too far or read too much into specific in-game sequences, provoking overpredictions. If LAX can stay focused and make sure that he is playing his game as opposed to his opponent's game, then he has a ceiling higher than anyone in the field and should go positive without doubt. If he does not, then he could end up near the bottom of these four, but I would still expect a decent record nevertheless just given his natural abilities as a player.
Kushalos honestly is too good to be fourth in this pool or really any lower tier pool at this point, but this pool is stacked and each of these guys are super close, so here we have it. Kushalos has a fascinating style; he concentrates on bringing teams that are strong against the opponent while also integrating some of the most interesting synergetic defensive schemes into his teams that oftentimes let him pilot teams how he feels best. While Kushalos, similarly to LAX, has a decent amount of "what just happened" potential on the negative, he, too, has a ridiculously high ceiling and should not be someone to play safe against as there is no safety against this very dangerous man. All things considered, Kushalos is poised to go positive once more and it will be very interesting to see what he comes up with.
Mid tier: Elodin, Realistic Waters, and ict
Elodin is honestly very close to the top tier for me, personally. The main difference between him and those names is simply a smaller sample size. Elodin has done well when in the tier and many expect similar results here despite his lack of tier specific support (obviously dudes like ABR can still be helpful, not trying to discredit that). The fact of the matter is that Elodin is as good a player as most of the top 4, but he just is not as well versed in the metagame. Will this be an issue? Probably not. The metagame is constantly evolving, Elodin knows enough to at least still be considered competent, and Elodin has been successful in the past when being thrown into NU. Therefore, I expect around a 5-4 record for him, which lands him at the top of the mid-tier range for now.
Realistic Waters had a positive SSD2, which was his first performance in a while. He now lacks the support of best friend and ex-manager Teddeh, but he also has more experience under his belt from playing in that tour, so you figure that he is still poised to put up some wins. With this said, his teambuilding tactics feel to me like they lead to some unavoidable inconsistencies, making me less confident in him pulling off consecutive wins, but more confident in him perhaps picking up big, upset wins against top tier players. Overall, this leaves him to settle squarely in the middle of the field and the middle-tier. He is not going to standout and go 7-2, but I would be shocked if he fell-flat and went 2-7. He is a steady pilot when he takes his time and his builds can provide some advantages if timely and called-for.
ict is probably the least easy to place out of all of these. He obviously has a high gameplay ceiling from his dominant Grand Slam victory, but on the other hand he also has never had the same level of success in team tournaments and has been out of the equation for a while due to his ban. He does have some support to assist him if he happens to be competent in Spanish to talk with Rodriblutar, but I would not set the bar too high there. All things considered, ict is a bit below average in this pool given my initial impression, but has potential to dominate moreso than you would expect someone ranked here given how strong a player he can be when in form. Team choices will be of vital importance here, too.
Lower tier: Osh and SPACE FORCE Meeps
Osh honestly strikes me as a fundamentally flawed player and I think his team choices are really questionable, BUT he has found a way to win a ridiculous amount of individual tournament games and you have to honor that. While I do not rate him highly personally, I respect his achievements and expect him to give the entire field a run for their money, especially with the assistance of supposed builder SANJAY. I do not know enough about either of these two to elaborate much more, at least when compared to my depth of knowledge on the remaining players, but I think he could be a flop or a dark horse of the field, having individual success translate into a team tournament showing, if all goes according to plan.
SPACE FORCE Meeps should probably not be in NU, but there isn't much that makes sense among the Raiders RU/NU situations, so despite him explicitly not signing up for the tier and not having touched it for a number of months, here we have it. I do not rank him lowly as a player, but given how stacked this field is and given that he most definitely was not in form as of the draft, I have to rank him low when compared to people who play the tier consistently or just the game overall more often than he has as of late. His style when it comes to building and playing will inevitably lead to a couple wins because he is crafty and not afraid to use just about anything, but I hesitate to assign any level of consistency to my projections surrounding him given all of the different uncertainties surrounding his performance.
