So, why should Faze be above SK in the ranking?

In the last 3 months (time span Thorin says he takes into account) SK has more tournament wins over Faze (3x2) and has the advantage in the head-to-head too (2x0 for SK).

I've seen some people saying that Faze is above cause they have more wins over other ranked teams, but that's no true:

SK has just lost ONE series, that's to NiP (#6) in IEM Oakland. Aside from that they beat everyone: Faze (#1) twice (Epicenter and EPL), Astralis (#3) twice (Epicenter and Blast) VP (#5) twice (Epicenter).

Faze lost to: SK (#2) twice (Epicenter and EPL) and NiP (#6) once (IEM Oakland). Has wins over: Cloud9 (#4) twice (ESL ONE New York and IEM Oakland), Astralis (#3) once (Eleague Premier), Team Liquid (#8) once (ESL ONE New York), North (#9) once (Eleague Premier).

I think SK wins are quite more impressive. But even if you do not agree with that, it's close enough to doesn't matter that much to determine who's better. But if you take into consideration the number of trophies (2x3 for SK) and the head to head (0x2 to SK) there's no much arguments to give Faze the nº 1 spot.

*I'm only taking into consideration series wins against ranked opponents.

So, why the hell should Faze be above SK?
