JOEMOMMA5000 OFFICIAL RANKING AND RATING FOR DRAFT:
Sword: 4/1
Skillz: 3/1
Coza: 4/1
Fett: 8/1
Disk: 6/1
SWORDFISH: Anemix, Lost, carn0va, Psyc]-[oe, Luck-N-A-1/2, Stimula, Panama Jack, krs-one
Pros: Anemix + Luck Capping with Carn on LO could be devastating. Ane and Luck (long time =cJ= alumni) both know every map and what it takes to be clutch. Carn can be a very good e-grab/dueler. Lost should be chasing, and Home D....
Cons: No Home D. Also very strong personality concerns. Get a few quick caps or cheap shots in and Ane, Lost and Carn will turn on each other quickly. Stim should be Home D but he has several layers of rust.
4/1
SKILLZ: Rtcll, Bizzy, Alarik, Apache Chief, pr, Groove, jm5k, Plat Rat
Pros: Every base covered. Rtcll has one of the best chases in LT. Bizzy should cap with Skillz, Alarik Home D, LO toss up between half the team. Lots of guys who can fill in multiple positions if need be.
Cons: Some definite rust and too many 'jack of all trades' players. Skillz plays every position. Alarik plays every position. The entire team is basically interchangable minus LD. Can this team designate properly based on map and opposition? pr, Bizzy and Plat might have some rust, Apache is relatively un-tested.
3/1
COZA: Stork, Thumper, Chexmix, Danky, csq, Silvereagle, Wilder, Unleashed
Pros: Stork should play Home D every map, and if he does he will most likely be the best at it in this tourny. Danky has shown some good chase recently, Thump can chase as well, Chex is a viable capper as is Wilder. SE on LO, and this team could take it.
Cons: Time Zone issues for Coza/Wilder, personality clashes with Chex/Thumper/Stork. Coza blows up quickly and easily, and Chex will point fingers. Thumper apparently needs to be drunk/high to play (but shouldnt be a problem). Chip away at them until you see Stork bring out the CG, and hope that internal squabble helps bring them down.
4/1
FETTUCINE: Opsayo, Sleepy, Chump, The Stig, Ritz, Schmerz, Meyog, Darkstrand
Pros: Opsayo is very strong in most positions, Sleepy has potential to be awesome, several 'Up and Comers' with The Stig and Ritz, Schmerz showing most rust pretty much gone.
Cons: Opsayo will need to carry this team. Sleepy goes 50/50 between fantastic and mediocre. Chump has admittedly played 4 times in 4 years and is unsure if he will even play. Team is full of smurfs that should never have been in the draft in the first place (Stig, Meyog, poss. Darkstrand). Come on admins, why do we not know who The Stig or Meyog is yet? Ridiculous.
8/1
DISK: Dare, Masterace, jjwtay, Leo, Xerious, Drg0n, Evolvo, KKA
Pros: If Dare and MA shake their rust, they are both top level players. jjwtay does not compete regularly but is very capable, Leo/Evolvo are both capable cappers.
Cons: This team is full of 'ifs'. If MA warns up and IF Dare plays well and IF jjw can play in a team and IF Leo can make it due to timezones and IF someone like Disk or Xerious can step up, they can do well. They have the parts, it's just a matter of IF the team wants to use them and how.
6/1
Final Verdict?
Skillz versus either Coza or Swordfish, depending on which of those two teams keeps their heads together and stays as a team.
Sword: 4/1
Skillz: 3/1
Coza: 4/1
Fett: 8/1
Disk: 6/1
