Evil Geniuses is 10,000 points ahead in the Dota 2 World Ranking of December 2014. The American team simply outruns all their opponents… but for how long?

[evil geniuses] stays on the top of the Dota 2 World Ranking in December. The american team won ASUS ROG DreamLeague Season 2 which was their only tournament this month but by far enough to stay ahead of their opponents.

This is to some degree because there is simply no opponent for [arteezy], [fear1], [ppd] and their teammates so far. Both [vici gaming] and [alliance] who improved to ranks 2 and 3 suffered from losses in November. Only [natus vincere] won a major tournament, but the ukranian team is just coming back from slump and has a long way to go back to the top.

[cloud 9] and [newbee] are sneaking up

The real dangers for [evil geniuses] are lurking behind a bit: Both [cloud 9] and [newbee] had a good month and improved to ranks six and seven respectively. The very talented [secret team] failed in the qualifiers of the Dreamleague and thus didn’t gather any more points. The team around [puppey] and [kuroky] stays at rank 21 which they share now with upcoming [team tinker] who gained 14 spots in the past month.

The new ones: [lv gaming], [team immunity], [virtus.pro polar]

The highest steps this month have been taken by [lv gaming] (+123) and [team immunity] (+119). The former won the National Electronic Sports Tournament 2014 ahead of [lgd gaming] and [newbee], the latter was runner-up at MSI Beat IT 2014 where the australian team lost to [virtus.pro]. The second team of VP, [virtus.pro polar] improved 23 ranks to rank 36. The surprising [4 anchors + sea captain], sixth at ASUS ROG Dreamleague, gained 62 spots.
