Ye, I wouldn't be shocked, anything can happen in 3v3, but I agree they look strong on paper.
Comms will hit Team 1 hard - Ulv just talking to himself and getting frustrated. DJ frontman, Ulv backman, Hudz through the middle? Ulv is the only one really talking, so that formation sucks. Problems might appear but DJ is still DJ.
Surprised at Team 3 not getting placed further down in people's estimates. I don't know Phob as a player at all but I'm willing to believe his rating is 'correct'. Blade and Axl are both better players than a lot of people think but by god comms will either be hysterical or just not there
And Axl doing tacs? Ahahahaha
Sry m8.
Team 4 look really strong to me - Mex is another underrated player, get him the right maps (shocky maps) and he will be a surprise to opponents. Nightwing can launch anywhere and knows all the tricks, and Prom is unstoppable in the mood. I bet on these guys to win the whole thing.
Team 5 look a good paper team too (wtf is html doing way down there?). He has been really good in every competition - I remember being in his team in that 4v4 cup XB staged last year (?) and he never did anything wrong, same in other AS cups. A really strong teammate imo, no bullshit, always comms, always in position, etc. I know nothing about Teks really but we all know Cyborg. I just wonder how much these guys have played lately.
My team... XR was in {24} with me years ago so we know each other and how we play. But that was years ago and I can't remember the last time we even played in a pug at the same time. And afair he doesn't talk on TS, so I just kinda hope he will speak in this cup, because comms will be critical. And me and Term are old sparring buddies from Boomtown
As everyone knows, we are not strong fraggers, but we do at least know AS. I hope we win a few maps at least
Team 7: yeesh, one of the two highest average ratings, I get why. Kaka is another strangely low placement, I would have put him quite a bit higher. I don't know Squirrel (I assume he isn't CS?) but I think comms might be a struggle for this team, if they talk much at all. I think these guys might just try to charge their way through on attack but might have problems with static defenses and iffy tacs. Watch them prove me wrong with an 8-0 drubbing...
If I'm reading the picks correctly I see in Team 8 Pitbull got the lowest rating? Come on now
Played him in a pug the other day and he was fkin headshotting from across the solar system, pissing me right off. He has constant comms too. Yak is as strong a player as he has been billed but might be out of practise, if such a thing is possible. And I know nothing about Aphex if that isn't a fake nick.
My two cents. I wanted to have these discussions in irc but it's not on this laptop
Man, I love UTA competitions. Bring on more Survivor!
