TSM having already beaten IA and KoRT's 'demise' with a tie with the Transformers ( I can't remember their name at the moment ) only leaves Tofu as the #1 contender. Not sure if it's a completely valid point you're making, but I can respect it nonetheless. You guys are definitely #1 and everyone wants a piece of you which comes with the territory.... they want to play you guys as much as you wanted to play us ( TSM ) and I don't see holding off the inevitable.
I see what you're saying, but my point is that lineup alone isn't enough. There's an art (or science) to clan challenges, picking teams and maps and figuring out matchups, plus getting a disparate group of people to work well together within a game, often with little experience playing with each other. I think the Kort-G1 challenge proved that there's more the being a top clan than having a roster of elite players.

So if we practically tie, similar to the 1 game difference in THOTA vs TSM, can we even declare any one of us better than the other? There may be a point when all three of these clans are so good that only variations in the dice and a little bit of luck on the drop can sway the board one way or the other. I don't anticipate any of these clans should be able to blow the others out of the water which is why, in some respects, ranking these clans is a little tricky.
I think that's a fair point, and it fits into my general sentiment about CC, which is that everything comes down to the balance between difference in skill level and difference in luck. All the amazing dice in the world won't help two noobs beat CoF and Dako, or Scott and laddi, or Blitz and BW, but pit any of those teams against each other and the slightest edge in terms of overall good fortune (in drop, cards, or dice) will probably be enough to turn the tide.
