What does this team need to do in order to win?:
Potential dangers?:
Viperz' mum takes away his computer for overhearing him say bad words on Team Speak.
FALLACY’s potency leads him to babylapping with two babies at the same time.
RickJames has difficulty
Morpheus rage quits season after realising they ‘RUINED’ CG-Dungeon by adding pads in the jail cell with his famous last words being “FUCK YOU GUUUUIIIIISE”.
Overall thoughts on team:
Should have gone full Euro.
jk.
Viperz was an incredibly good first pick, but it was a bit of a risk picking up both Morpheus and FALLACY as they both lack in sDOM knowledge and experience. The one thing they do have going for them is their incredible frag power - possibly even the highest fragging team. RickJames has also been playing well lately and can hold his own quite well now. Will RickJames be able to teach his young padawans the ways of the force in time for Sunday? I doubt it. But maybe he won't need to play this Sunday... depending on whether Miracle might have some difficulty getting getting his Stormtroopers arranged.
What does this team need to do in order to win?:
With only a week to go till Match day and 0 pugs sighted yet from Bleh, Nob or Lockpick… (and honestly… 0 anticipated for the remainder of the week)... outlook is grim.
Admittedly players like Bleh and Nob seem to still put up impressive performances without any practice, so maybe they'll be alright.
Miracle also needs to fix his UT so HULKSMASH can safely poke him without crashing it and thus upsetting him for the rest of the match. (Jk <3)
Potential dangers?:
A very likely scenario is that at match time their irc channel is deserted at matchtime. Bleh hungover from last night’s party. Nob fell asleep after coding the website for 14 hours straight. Lockpick lost track of time during his bicycle ride... And meanwhile Miracle himself is still lighting a candle in church in hopes of some divine intervention and that his team will mend their unreliable ways.
Overall thoughts on team:
Let’s be honest. If they’re all around and active, they’ll probably be amazing. The keyword being if. With 3 questionable cards of the same suit, Miracle took quite the gamble going all in when he’s not sure if they are aces or eights… We’re definitely interested to see how this plays out when he plays RickJames’ in Reg this Sunday- another gambler of equivalent calibre.
What does this team need to do in order to win?:
Invent cloning device.
Fly to the UK.
Clone ramdrop.
Play with three ramdrops.
Potential dangers?:
Ramdrop unable to practice new maps due to ‘questionable aliasing’ during pugs. Scream disappears during his ice fishing marathon. In all seriousness: lack of a solid fourth.
Overall thoughts on team:
Scream and Ramdrop seem inseparable at this point as this is the third time in a row that they’ve teamed up together. Though they haven’t quite managed a crown yet. they say third time’s a charm? Ramdrop is currently one of the strongest 1v1 players and a great asset to this team but it’s likely he will have to carry his team to victory! And after rage quitting TS the other day due to not ‘receiving enough assistance’ on statues… we’re not entirely sure he’ll be able to carry that much of a load. Sens can carry some of the weight and be a strong support for 1v1 spots once he takes the rust off, but it seems like the 4v4 matchups are not in this team’s favor.
What does this team need to do in order to win?:
A rather large, anonymous, donation to the ACT ensuring that they lay off Cromaniac. Just until the end of the season.
Potential dangers?:
risus drafted for a CS GO league. Jyb’s wife talks to him while he is 1 kill shy of a godlike. Forfeit due to PACO not having finished his 7th bowl of cereal in time.
Overall thoughts on team:
First thoughts: What was JYB thinking with that PACO pick up? He used to be well known , but apparently he is unable to do this since the introduction of the lift. This team will probably do well in the frag department, possibly even be efficient and consistent at tagging the points quickly. Due to their disastrous timing skills, we can’t really see them successful timing any pick ups. (If PACO’s brb5min last 2 hours, can you imagine him timing a 55 second belt for his team?) When things go well, points are all taken, it will be smooth sailing. However when the enemy will time amps, belts, armours and kegs better and ends up destroying them... we're expecting some major rage. Would definitely pay $5 for front row seats on Team Speak.
What does this team need to do in order to win?:
All buy stopwatches so they can actually time things. Get rain and paleface to pug more.
Potential dangers?:
Csn too drunk/tired from work to actually show up (probability about 90%). Rain+paleface end up traveling to asia seeking to get pulip back from his trip. 2/4 of his starters rather inexperienced.
Overall thoughts on team:
It was pretty surprising seeing TGP compadre csn drafting paleface in the first round when players like ravonix, cromaniac and bug were still on the board, but csn was actually baiting a bigger fish for his 2nd pick: Rain. Everybody knows rain for his ictf abilities but not so much for sDOM. This also meant he was not ranked as high as he normally is. Csn used that to his advantage and basically went for the buy 1 get 1 free package deal (rain and paleface are either in a consensual homosexual relationship, or brothers from another mother. Not sure which one). Rain's frag power might be enough to compensate his lack of experience in the mod + self confessed inability to time. Csn and xeno have both proved in the past season that they can go vs top tier players and do good. The question mark might be paleface and his ability to actually control the point, rather than outfrag the other players on his spot. Interesting team to say the least.
What does this team need to do in order to win?:
Make sure snky isnt kidnapped to peru towards playoffs time. Invest in internet that costs more than $1 a month. Erase ulo’s memories for the last sdom season he played.
Potential dangers?:
Snky’s poor activity so far. Monk’s connection sabotaged by the dominicans again.
Overall thoughts on team:
Monk was very fortunate to have ravonix available as a 1st pick considering the pick order in the draft. You might even say he has the strongest two players you could possibly combine. The main question mark for this team will be snky. Will he show the same form that made him a champion on the first GU sDOM.I season? Or will his inactivity be too hard to overcome in order to relive his glory days? The most explosive player in UT ( <3 grins) will have to be a major contributor for this team to go all the way. Ulo is also an x-factor and map picks will have a big role in his performance as he is less stable on some rather than maps where he can excel.
What does this team need to do in order to win?:
Hire sauron a relaxing therapist for the season duration. Get knockoutdad involved and pugging.
Potential dangers?:
Sauron playing the 1v1 spots and bringing team’s moral down. Knockoutdad having war flashbacks from when he played as a ranger for ph34r in the GU sDOM.I semi-finals.
Overall thoughts on team:
A great draft for Nakedman who managed to pick up a dedicated 2v2 player in pete, surrounded by 3 players who can rotate between 1v1 and 2v2 positions.This team might have a problem on nitro, where all the players basically play corner but i can see them working it out. The main issue will be to keep sauron happy so the team’s moral is high. Probably a good idea to match him on the 2v2 spots with pete as much as possible, rather than leaving him on 1v1 spots where angruis usually appears. If bug keeps up his current level this team will be mighty scary.
What does this team need to do in order to win?:
Get kud to pug more!
Potential dangers?:
Blackout wasn't kidding all the times he mentioned x22. Rummy suddenly disappears without a trace and got shipped to India for arranged marriage. Humpty gets such bad withdrawal symptons from not playing enough CS:GO that he gets shipped off to a ADT Healthcare clinic to be treated for his Video Gaming Addiction.
Overall thoughts on team:
This is a well rounded team, where every player can play multiple roles or positions - there is no clear cut amp runner. They have frag power, sDOM knowledge, can time items and have good team chemistry. Most players have successfully previously played together (kud & HUMPTY even reaching GU sDOM.I finals and rummy and blackout also have experience together). This is one of the only teams I don't really feel has a question mark, down side, bad player or map. I expect them to get very far and potentially even win!
