Elite 8 invitations threads got me thinking...which teams do you think would be the 8 elite live teams from the respective regions? And which team do you think would take it?

Count me 8 teams in India that are better than all live teams from NA. Some of the teams from out here are def good enough to compete with the powerhouses out there? I think around 5-6 teams from India are better than all live teams here. So an elite 8 from all over would be a mix of India and NA teams, IMO obviously.

My Live Elite 8 from across the globe:
Punjabi Uni Patiala
GGN Khalsa College
GHG Gursar Sadhar College
DAV Jalandhar
Lyallpur Khalsa College
Shivchand
Rooh Punjab Dee
Heeray Punjab Deh

Won't nominate my own team cuz that aint right. And even then, some of these teams from India haven't performed in years, and most of em use the same set for yearsss.

My point being: the legit live teams from NA can compete with teams from India.

i would LOVE to see Shan-E-Punjab spice up their routine with a bit more creativity and compete at Elite. Execution of bhangra on this team is beautiful.

Going along with gugu's idea about a global E8, i'm split evenly with 4 india teams and 4 NA teams, so I'd go with,

Shivchand
Lyallpur
GGN
DAV
Shan-E
Kohinoor
Rooh

And of course

HPD/V-DUBBBBBBBBBB collabo

Yo there are some really good teams in North America, but the best teams in Punjab are at another level.
If you disagree you are wrong.

Thats not my point. The point of my post was that there definitely 5-6 teams from India that are unreal, and would destroy NA teams. After that, the competition is even. So, 2-3 NA teams can fill up those couple spots. Therefore, an "elite 8" should include a team or 2 from out here.

I was thinking more of the format like Elite 8 already has (North American teams) haha but it would be sick to see North American teams go up against India teams. I agree with most of the posts but I'd put LSD as my other US East team over DCMPAA but DCMPAA is sick too.
