Roster: Nuke, BNG, Heltah, Rum, Duy, Impure

Eye Test: A fascinating lineup at first glance, especially with the Nuke and Heltah pairing due to their clashing personalities. They seem to cover every position well, though there are some doubts about their versatility and ability to maintain grabbing pressure if they're behind.

Analysis: Once they're ahead, they'll strangle the game, making mid-map crossings a nightmare. A smart play against them would be starting with three defenders for the first ten minutes. The key question is whether Heltah and Nuke can keep their cool, especially if Rum is shut down and the flag pressure drops. BNG will need to keep everyone on track. Duy has been impressive lately and must continue this trend amidst the high-pressure environment.

Prediction: It's a toss-up. They could implode or coast to an easy playoff spot. Their core history suggests another playoff appearance is likely.

Lesbian Dopeheads on Mopeds

Roster: Slipz, Dizzeh, Hatchet, Flow, Iron, R3volt3

Eye Test: Looks solid but seems overly offensive with only one established defender. Lacks a decisive midfield controller.

Analysis: Dizzeh's strong defense is a plus, especially on maps that aren't as conventional. Success hinges on playing to their strengths and choosing non-standard maps. Flow's communication skills are key, and either r3volt3 or iron need to step up their game.

Prediction: Unless r3volt3 or iron up their game, they'll be outgunned. Expect them to win on their map choices but lose the deciders. No playoffs as it stands.

Team Humpty

Roster: Humpty, Toady, Unrealshots, Boltronics, FrenchEmpire, Own34dor

Eye Test: The pick of bolty first was a shocker but makes sense looking at the whole team. When on form, there's no weak link, but the inconsistency of players like Own34dor and FrenchEmpire, who fluctuate between brilliant and subpar, is a concern.

Analysis: Their defense could be solid, thanks to Unrealshots, but his current form is a question mark. The team's performance seems to hinge on the day's form and how well they manage ping issues.

Prediction: If they can't find consistency or Unrealshots isn't in top form, it'll be tough. Offense might win games, but they need solid defense to go far. Playoff chances are uncertain.

Intentionally Fishing Silver

Roster: Sadino, Azur, DVNO, Inox, Shx, Unbreak

Eye Test: Possibly the strongest on paper in Group A, with a scary midfield duo in Sadino & Azur.

Analysis: Their sheer firepower means avoiding certain maps and playing to their strengths. Shx's potential return to form and Inox as a wildcard grabber are crucial.

Prediction: They should sail through the group stage, leveraging their fragging ability against other teams' weaknesses.

The Five

Roster: Keizer, Nani, Cromaniac, tOxX, Demon, Qbit

Eye Test: A balanced team in a competitive draft. It'll be interesting to see who steps up to support Keizer defensively.

Analysis: The team needs someone to match Nani's chaos-creating ability. The support cast's ability to keep up with Nani is critical, and tOxX needs to be consistent. Their performance in Anfra maps will be key, and Demon's value at his price point could influence their rotation strategy significantly.

Prediction: They might just scrape through as the 3rd seed, facing struggles with lineup and maintaining quality if Demon is not playing.
