Allshewrote (23.5 / 30)

TEAMWORK / STRATEGY: 7.5 / 10
AIMING / POSITIONING: 8 / 10
ADAPTABILITY: 8 / 10

ROSTER: dom, pump, vizualized, moe, clan

Showing their potential in WCA Qualifiers, ASW has been a team that I have had my eyes on as they are constantly making improvements. CFS NA Quals will be a great to see how far these guys can really take their team. They are a team I feel could surprise us all in the qualifiers.


Key Player: Pump

Pump is definitely one to keep your eyes on in CFS, if he is on his game in CFS he will be a key in elevating ASW to the next level.

Teamw0w (25.5 / 30)

TEAMWORK / STRATEGY: 8.5 / 10
AIMING / POSITIONING: 9 / 10
ADAPTABILITY: 8 / 10

ROSTER: michael, ayrin, req, coda, juice

Having one of the best online performances of any team in recent years teamw0w presents a big threat to other teams in CFS. Having some of the best aimers and clutchers in NA on their squad gives them a serious edge over the average team.

Key Player: AYRIN

Regardless Teamw0w will be a major competitor however what will put Teamw0w over the top is definitely AYRIN. He has insanely high clutch-ability and really elevates his team to near perfection when he is playing at his peak.

3sUP.Carbon (26 / 30)

TEAMWORK / STRATEGY: 8.5 / 10
AIMING / POSITIONING: 9.5 / 10
ADAPTABILITY: 8 / 10

ROSTER: famous, tyler, phat, gandhi, brando

Arguably the current best team, they have some of the strongest shots in NA, and a very strong record to back them. Having already won a spot in WCA global it will be interesting to see how the powerhouse of carbon continues into this event.

Key Player: Phat (Andre.)

Noted for being one of the best aimers in the game, if Phat brings his A game to this qualifier Carbon will be insanely hard to beat.

StepOff (23.5 / 30)

TEAMWORK / STRATEGY: 9 / 10
AIMING / POSITIONING: 7.5 / 10
ADAPTABILITY: 7 / 10

ROSTER: toonie, imagine, xotek, jso, mackavelli

A roster that has all of the potential in the world but has yet to reach their peak potential. With a great strategic presence, and a few new players joining them in recent months, it will be interesting to see if Stepoff can make their way into the finals.

Key Player: x0tek

In past events X0tek has been either hot or cold in terms of scores. If he can bring his A game to every map this event, Stepoff has a high potential for success.


WAARMACHINE (25.5 / 30)

TEAMWORK / STRATEGY: 9 / 10
AIMING / POSITIONING: 8.5 / 10
ADAPTABILITY: 8 / 10

ROSTER: jaime, pablo, wizdom, mykl, malte

After recently acquiring MALTE, WAARMACHINE is showing signs of being a big competitor for the CFS NA Title. Having some very good performances in recent events this new roster of veteran players is looking to have a very strong presence in CFS NA Qualifiers.

Key Player: Wizdom

Wizdom has been constantly criticized for not fragging, however he is actually a strong player who can go off. The problem in Wizdoms case is he is usually either heavily fragging or struggling to stay on the board. If he can overcome his fragging consistency issues and bring his A Game to this qualifier every map, WAAR MACHINE has a good chance of taking the title for CFS.


Devote (20.5 / 30)

TEAMWORK / STRATEGY: 7 / 10
AIMING / POSITIONING: 7 / 10
ADAPTABILITY: 6.5 / 10

ROSTER?: crimzxn, sela, moon, goat, coco

Coming out of nowhere this summer devote made a name for themselves taking down some big names in ESL. This team of young talent if they continue moving forward and proving themselves may be able to upset teams in this qualifier.

Key Player: N/A

Alphafive (26 / 30)

TEAMWORK / STRATEGY: 9 / 10
AIMING POSITIONING: 8 / 10
ADAPTABILITY: 9 / 10

ROSTER: logic, luwii, monstar, ralf, bert

Having a roster of long time competitive players ALPHAFIVE brings some strong aimers and strategists to the table. If this team can focus on their strengths and bring their aim game up a little bit they can easily make their way into the CFS NA Finals.

Key Player: Ralf

Having an insane ability to adapt and clutch under pressure, ralf will be a key component in ALPHAFIVEs ability to succeed.

flysociety (23 / 30)

TEAMWORK / STRATEGY: 7.5 / 10
AIMING / POSITIONG: 8.5 / 10
ADAPTABILITY: 7 / 10

ROSTER: wizzy, bon, bin, hieu, outersky

One of the longest standing teams in the event, Fly society has a very strong consistent performance as a team. If they can step up as a team and bring up their game to the next level, they may work their way into the finals of this qualifier.

Key Player: N/A

TEAMWORK / STRATEGY:
1 - WAAR, A5, STEPOFF
4 - TEAMw0w, Carbon
6 - FS / ASW
8 - Devote

AIMING / POSITIONING:
1 - Carbon
2 - Teamw0w
3 - WAAR / FS
5 - A5 / ASW
7 - Stepoff
8 - Devote

ADAPTABILITY:
1 - A5
2 - WAAR, Teamw0w, Carbon, ASW
6 - FS / Stepoff
8 - Devote

ALL:
1 - Carbon / Alphafive
3 - Teamw0w / WAARMACHINE
5 - ASW / Stepoff
7 - Fly Society
8 - Devote

Keep in mind this is just my opinion, and it should be taken as such. I look forward to casting the event and wish the best of luck to all participants.

    I mean its just an opinion. No need to get angry about it. This is just based on matches I have seen (So obviously not every game), and from observing some of the individual players on each of the teams. Not to mention I was pretty fair in my criticisms. Any team is capable of winning though, and I love being proved wrong.

  • You get a lot of tball participation trophies??

    Not every team can win it...
