Rankings Breakdown:
So, right now it's all just a bunch of numbers; but how did each team really come to earn their placing in the Top 10?
Well, let's start with the top two teams in fnatic and SK Gaming. fnatic has been dynamite all year. With 4 victories in major tournaments, along with a runner up at ESL Scandinavia, and the best winning percentage among the top 10 teams, fnatic was able to easily lock up the top spot. Surprisingly however, before all the extra points and percentages were weighed in, SK Gaming was barely trailing their Swedish rivals in the rankings. With a victory at KODE5 Sweden, several 2nd place finishes, and their attendance to a majority of the events, SK Gaming was able to secure themselves plenty of points, and enough to come in safely behind fnatic in 2nd place.
In 3rd place comes mTw, a team that was able to secure victories at both the EM III European Finals and ESL Scandinavia. Throw in a couple more top 10 placings, and a strong winning percentage, and they were making a run at SK Gaming in the final tally.
Behind them in 4th comes Wicked who just recently finished 2nd at Gamegune, and earlier in the year won the DTS Cup 2009, and took 2nd at the EM III Global Finals.
After that comes three teams in 5th, 6th, and 7th place that are only separated by 100 points or so. Interestingly enough, after the 2nd system of points was finished, WeMade Fox actually led mousesports by a small margin. However, after winning percentages and recent results were tallied in, mousesports was able to narrowly edge the Koreans and claim the 5th spot on the list. If that wasn't enough, Team ALTERNATE, who gained a lot of points from early season results, was right there in 7th place only a few points or so from moving up themselves and causing more mix ups.
To round out the top 10, EG falls in at 8th, DTS.chatrix in 9th, and Virtus.Pro in 10th. With a recent win at the ESEA-I finals, along with participation in several international events this year, EG was able to rack up enough points to coast easily into their spot. Behind them, both DTS.chatrix and Virtus.Pro saw positive gains from their results at local events such as the Asus Spring Cup, Arbalet Cup, and Dreamhack Summer.

The System:
After combing through the Gotfrag news articles covering the international events of 2008, and crunching the numbers, I've got a few 2008 rankings.
First off, criteria for inclusion into the system was that the tournament featured at least two countries, or that a top 10 team (based on the points) was also in the tournament. Needless to say, a lot of tournaments got deleted after all the initial counting.
The system is simple, you get 100 points for first, 90 for second and so on. For tournaments that list 3-4, 5-8 etc... they're given the number in between the two (3=80, 4=70, thus 3-4=75). Then, I used two types of weighting.
The first, takes how many top 10 opponents are in the tournament, and adds 10 points for every one. So, if there are six top 10 teams in a tournament, every top 10 team from that tournament would get 50 points (5 opponents) added for that tournament.
The second is more accurate, in that it multiplies your point total from that tournament against the number of top 10 teams in that tournament. For instance, if a team places 3rd in a tournament, and there were three top 10 teams there (other than the team I'm counting for), it becomes 80x3 for 240 points.
Without further ado, here you go:
