$5378 Lotrfan blaze outlaw banny broken_clock camilo disturbed nob mike jzus
Team Lotrfan
Attack: Camilo, Lotrfan, Mike 2.5/5
Defence: Blaze, Banny 4/5
Lotr's team seems to be the worst on paper, however with a strong dev team they can still surprise many. A few main concerns for this team would be there 2 main starters (Only have one in Blaze), and their frag power. I can see many games where they are pushed into their own base. Blaze will need to frag heavy. Lotr should look to make some adjustments and get some offence for his team.
$5514 kron Moskva alpha PACO unrealshots karmaohdee dewsick ravje terminator fallacy
Team Kron
Attack: Kron, Moskva, Terminator 4/5
Defence: Alpha, Unrealshots 3.75/5
Kron has drafted a team full of ipuggers. The question though is who will actually show up for his matches. From their reg team, the two people who i can see actually showing up to every match is Kron, moskva, and unrealshots. Terminator has dissapeared for a while and has now only come to playing siege, and alpha has a history of not showing up to siege seasons. The dev team is the main concern for Kron as trying to convince the ipuggers to show up will be difficult as it has been for the past seasons. The question is can Kron actually get 5 people to show up for dev matches or get someone from dev to sub a regular if needed?? Also, they may have the best fragging defence in the league, but will Alpha's and unrealshots lack of siege knowledge come to haunt this team?
$5573 Convict timtim Uchiha silverwing Boon_MA_i shiva monk spoiled_brats krikor Glooz
Team Convict (Stack and rage)
Attack: Convict, Shiva, Krikor, Uchiha 5/5
Defence: Silverwing, Uchiha, shiva, Convict 5/5
Convict most likely has the best team post draft. However, we have seen this last season and convict failed to bring a ring in then, could the same happen for the second season in a row? Having a solid reg team and dev team, convict has managed to draft (apart from krikor) a team of reliable players. Glooz is a solid dev and can even be subbed into the regular team if needed. 5 starters who are able to play both defence and offence will also give this team a variety of play styles this team can use. The main concern for this team is Krikor. Will he show?
$5578 SK8 Blackshoot hikaru Toymac Gladiator chica Osyris Stormy Booty Warrior
Team SK8
Attack: Blackshoot Osyris Warrior 4/5
Defence: Keith Gladiator SK8 4/5
Another team to be feared. Well balanced in both attack and defence, Sk8 has managed to draft a team of latinos + keith. This team has frag power and tactics to win any match. I doubt there will be a language barrier between the latinos and keith as most of the latinos can speak decent enough english now. Even the dev team will trouble everyone. A concern for this team is the blackshoot and osyris offence; it has failed before will it fail again?
$5580 Dangerboy Adrian Moko Freeze Stephanie Shockwave Rum Snorlack humpty sheepy
Team Dangerboy (qq'ing at being seperated from his lover cella)
Attack: Dangerboy, Adrian, Freeze 5/5
Defence: Snorlack, Sheepy 3.5/5
Defenders will struggle against this team. However, i can see this teams defence struggling against other teams offence. The defence will hinder the capabilities of the offence as there will be a lot of fall back. Offence wise they have freeze (Sneaky tactician), Danger (blackshoot + fragging), and Adrian (in your face playstyle). Having all the playstyles in the book in one teams offence will really help this team. I can see them beating any team, but it seems like most matches will end in a base race type of scenario where this team will have to be quick on the attack and end the match before the other team can. The dev team does look solid with shockwave being a solid 6th player.
$5578 Zac Cella chiseller chamberly fleece sovvie knockoutdad spiderman mal Damic
Team Zac
Attack: Cella, Mal, Damic 3.75/5
Defence: Chiseller, Fleece 3.75/5
Zac has managed to draft a very good dev team, and an ok reg team. They do have the ability to beat any team, however, it will be very difficult. A couple concerns is whether Damic is a reg player, and if Mal will show up. Also, will Zac field himself in reg games? It may be a good idea for Zac to trade to a team full of starters with no devs as it would really help him to get one more player who is 650+.
After reviewing all the teams, My prediction for the season is the following:
1) Convict
2) Sk8
3) Dangerboy
4) Kron
5) Zac
6) Lotrfan
Kron dangerboy and SK8 will be fighting for that second place spot, and Zac and lotr should look to make a couple of moves to strengthen their teams.
