DFRAG Series - Wildcard LAN - Series 1
I thought I'd do a write up on twitter since I will not be at the event. (I'll be at TGX instead).
Group A
Thunder Down Under
They should be one of the favourites for this event as their domestic dominance continues on. They have pulled ahead of the pack (Mindfreak, GZ and Rooster).
They are starting to look like a team with a great map pool and stomping local competition. This is what we expected from TDU from the outset instead of these close affairs (and losses to GZ in CCT).
The previous CCT shouldn't really be included given that TDU got pretty messed up with scheduling (PGL / CCT on at the same time). Liazz, asap and aliStair have been absolutely smurfing the competition.
Time Waves
Enjoy the experience. You're not getting out of groups. Rough.
Camille has been looking pretty solid but it won't be enough against Rooster, GZ and TDU
Ground Zero
Well, the purple patch of incredible form has ended. Losses to TDU, Mindfreak and Abyssal is not looking too great.
4 Bo3 series losses in a row hasn't helped and their T sides haven't helped either. Yet, they have a great CT side which can even stymy the great TDU.
It is going to be an interesting tournament for Ground Zero. Will they be able to break the stumbling block and at least finish 2nd in groups (or even 1st?). Their first match against Rooster will be telling.
Ground Zero are caught in the undertow where it is either do or do not.
A small positive is that apocdud has been in stellar form as an IGL.
Rooster
New team with additions of Skull and Rekonz from FURY as well as ADK returning to the roster. Their sub, viridian has become TDU's coach.
Chelleos is going to find it tough without asap and TJP especially when ju1ces needs a very good duo to work off. A good duo would be rekonz who has been the main firepower for FURY back in the say.
Rekonz has the X factor to attain multiple kills when needed and to clutch out kills when needed. I still think ADK has a lot to give as well but should fit well in the support role while giving Skull all the lurk roles is the best option.
Rooster have nothing to really prove at DFRAG and a dangling Ground Zero could be all they need to get to the playoffs.
