Competitive Teams Evaluation Thread #2

Hey everyone, this is just a thread to give some of my thoughts and opinions on teams in the competitive scene of Crossfire as we prepare for ESG Spring Series to begin.

Each Team will be rated on a 0-10 Scale for each of the following categories:
Aiming Ability: Ability to aim well, and hit shots consistently.

Team Work and Communication: How well you work together, and for the teams who I have heard, how well they communicate is taken as a factor.

Experience / Performance in Matches: Match history / Placement in previous events

Total: Out of 30

The following list consists of the teams I know of that are competing in ESG, and their rating based on the 3 categories above. Keep in mind, this is just my singular perspective and you do not have to agree with it.

As I said before in my first thread. For those who got a high rating, prove me right. For those who got a low rating, prove me wrong.

(#1) Ace Gaming

Being one of the most decorated LAN teams in North America, it is probably no prize that I will be giving Ace Gaming a fairly good rating. After winning CFS 2 Qualifiers over Socks they proved to be one of the best teams in North America. With very good past performance records in NA events, I am sure they will be a contender for the upcoming ESG Spring Series.

Key Players: Ace.Ayrin and Ace.Malte

Aiming Ability: 8 out of 10
Team Work and Communication: 9 out of 10
Experience / Performance in Matches: 9 out of 10

Total: 26 out of 30

(#2) !nstinct (Socks)

After recently coming back into the NA Competitive Scene after a short break, the former WCG USA Champions look to be working hard at rebuilding the strength they had in the fall of 2013. Look for Socks to be a strong competitor in the upcoming ESG Spring Series.

Key Players: Jaime and Ralf

Aiming Ability: 8.5 out of 10
Team Work and Communication: 8 out of 10
Experience / Performance in Matches: 9 out of 10

Total: 25.5 out of 30

(#3) Fly Society

Being a consistent top contender in past events, Its no surprise that Fly Society is high up on this list. With some of the better shots in North America, this power house team is coming off a win in ESG Winter Series and is deffinitely a strong competitor.

Key Players: Andre and LVP

Aiming Ability: 9 out of 10
Team Work and Communication: 8 out of 10
Experience / Performance in Matches: 8 out of 10

Total: 25 out of 30

(#4) AlphaFive

Reuniting former international competitors such as Bertman and Monstar, AlphaFive if they continue to rebuild a strong team could pose a threat if they compete in upcoming events.

Key Players: Monstar and Luwii

Aiming Ability: 9 out of 10
Team Work and Communication: 8 out of 10
Experience / Performance in Matches: 7.5 out of 10

Total: 24.5 out of 30

(#5 / #6) KTT Prime

After doing well in Winter Series Prime has shown that they are ready to rise to the top. With the recent pick up of Ty2K from CFS Season 1 NA Champions Carbon, Prime could continue to rise up and perform well again in Spring Series.

Key Players: Mykl and Mateusz

Aiming Ability: 7 out of 10

Team Work and Communication: 7.5 out of 10
Experience / Performance in Matches: 7 out of 10
Total: 21.5 out of 30

(#5 / #6) Undaunted

After a rough time in ESG Spring Series, with Undaunteds new roster, they have begun to perform quite well as a team. Look for a much better performance from Undaunted in Spring Series.

Key Players: x0tek and Thornz

Aiming Ability: 7 out of 10
Team Work and Communication: 8 out of 10
Experience / Performance in Matches: 6.5 out of 10

Total: 21.5 out of 30

(#7) TriX

After doing well in Winter Series, and past events, Trix has worked there way up to be a top 10 team in North America in my eyes.

Key Players: Fall and Dr.Gay

Aiming Ability: 7 out of 10
Team Work and Communication: 7.5 out of 10
Experience / Performance in Matches: 6.5 out of 10

Total: 21 out of 30

(#8) Flick

Though flick has not risen up as a top team at this point in time, its safe to say that they have all improved greatly, and have shown they are pretty good as a team.

Key Players: wow and Clan

Aiming Ability: 7 out of 10
Team Work and Communication: 6.5 out of 10
Experience / Performance in Matches: 5 out of 10

Total: 18.5 out of 30

(#9) No Problem

Consisting of some well known e8 players, I think these guys have a pretty good shot as a team. Though they are a newer roster, they seem to work well together as a team.

Key Players: Martinnn and wG.F1ash

Aiming Ability: 7.5 out of 10
Team Work and Communication: 6.5 out of 10
Experience / Performance in Matches: 4 out of 10

Total: 18 our of 30

#10 (Trio)

After coming back from a long time away from the competitive scene, I am ready to see what Trio will do in Spring Series as they return with Logic joining the roster.

Key Players: Ray and Logic

Aiming Ability: 7 out of 10
Team Work and Communication: 5.5 out of 10
Experience / Performance in Matches: 5 out of 10

Total: 17.5 out of 30
