1. Str8 Rippin- Although they lost to Triggers Down at Dallas, I think Str8 Rippin is the most solid team going in to this event. They have the lineup they want and everyone on that team is considered the best. This event is Str8 Rippin's, and for another team to win they will have to take it from them. 2. Final Boss- They have finally decided to play as much as everyone else and they will go into this event knowing they have what it takes to beat anyone. After playing matchmaking with them, I believe they have individually grown a lot since Dallas and they are going to be one of the toughest teams to beat. 3. Triggers Down- I think Triggers Down is treating their win after Dallas a lot like they did after Orlando. They have not practiced besides their LAN with Instinct. Triggers Down is a streaky team in my opinion. If they are on fire, I don’t see many teams beating them, but they will need to play some of their best Halo to win. 4. Ambush- I do not believe they will beat FB in round one, but I may be wrong. Looking at their bracket if they do lose to FB, they would play Carbon for Top 6, and Instinct for Top 4; I see them winning against both of those teams. With the players that have the ability to take out an entire team by themselves, they are a Top 4 team. 5.Instinct- It all depends on Soviet. He’s either destroying everything he sees, or jumping off the map to try and finish a kill. Roy is sick, and from what I have heard, Lunchbox is amazing now. Walshy is extremely smart and knows how to pump his team up, but I believe if they are to place better than 5th, it will be because Soviet is playing well. 6. Carbon- They have been playing a lot lately, and I think they are all getting better, but I don’t see them upsetting anyone big. 7. Legendz- Also a team that is putting in the dedication and time. I know they did pretty good in their LAN and see them beating at least one team at Vegas. Legend is very smart and has gotten this team "on the same page". If Defy and Best Man, two great individual players, are playing well, I see them beating a team or two. 8. Classic- I don’t even know where they are anymore. Mackeo and Victory are at college; I don’t see them signing on very often. I see Ant and Soldier in matchmaking parties, and I know they had a LAN which will probably help. Classic has the ability to get Top 4 if they are playing well, but they are a very streaky team and that can be a good thing or a bad thing. I do not believe Classic will place 8th but I had to put someone there. |
