Hello, everyone.
We've just finished our regular season (+ playoff game, if you will). I've sat down and had a heart to heart with everyone on the team from last season - and I'm fortunate enough to have been able to keep a decent amount of last season's team together. I feel that after a frustrating 2-5 start - and nearly endless roster complications - we have done well to find a "core" of guys and finish 7-2.
We now only need one reliable backup for match days.
My personal history (as a captain):
CEVO-Free S4 - #u - [5-3]
ESEA-Open S7 - kobra kai dojo - [8-8]
ESEA-Open S12 - Wu-Tang Financial - [9-7, 0-1 in postseason]
Roster:
Medic: radium
Pocket: Cole
Roamer: zigzter
Demo: OBJ
Scout: Boggy
Scout: crossfire
Backups: ????
Team goals:
Qualify for the playoffs, and make a push towards IM. This team barely missed out of the playoffs in S12.
What we are looking for:
Mid/High Open experience.
Decent DM.
Solid Comms.
Please add me if you are interested - we will be setting things up ASAP so we can have a fun, relaxing off-season.

Pretty cool guys, I sat in their mumble and server for a few of their scrims, and one of my previous teams played them a whole bunch. They're a pretty good group of guys and it's good to see they're sticking together. Good luck finding a pocket!

It was an honor to get to play against them in an open tiebreaker today. Thanks for working with us in terms of scheduling and stuff, and thanks again for the great match.
These guys deserve well, get them the best.

Radium is definitely a guy to watch. He is very serious about winning and getting better and I think he's probably one of the best team manager's/captain's in Open. The rest of this team looks pretty strong and they are definitely capable of making playoffs (probably even winning a match in playoffs given the right pocket IMO).

I backed up for them this season it's been a long way for this group. Between starting out 2-5, never having the same pocket for like over a week, roster switchups, and client problems (leading to using 300 ping backups who will go unnamed) there has been way too much shenanigans outside of their control and they could've easily called it quits and split apart mid-season. Regardless, they hung in there and made it to 9-7 and fought valiantly for a playoff spot. With the right adjustments and playtime, this team will go far.
With Radium on Medic, he'll have more control and command of the team with his healthy amount of experience. Verto and Crossfire are excellent Scouts who frag and capture stuff. X. always puts out some crazy numbers. Look out for Miwo's transition to roamer, should be interesting at the very least. They're all pleasant to talk to in Mumble even for being a little on the quieter side.
Best of luck to you, Radium and co. ^ ^

I can't really make a fair assessment of that. X was a defacto pocket last season, since we did not have a true pocket and also because he is very aggressive and loves ubers. If we had a strong pocket, I'm sure X would have taken a lot less of the heals.
I have to admit though, it is fun giving X priority on heals. He does a LOT of damage. I feel qualified to play in EU after last season.

Posting here to let interested parties know that we'll be running scrims starting tonight at around 10 pm EST. We're not going to play more than 1-2 a night this week since I'm trying not to burn out my teammates too early in the off-season. Please add me on Steam (if you have not done so already), and I'll see what I can do.

Radium is a cool guy and a good team manager depending on the pocket they get I could see this team going pretty far

This week was sort of a wash - hopefully by the start of next week I can get the team moving again. I apologize to those of you that were expecting a trial.

Bumping, I'm starting back up this week. I'll try to clear up the picture in the coming weeks about who's in the starting lineup.

There have been a few changes in the lineup. We're still returning four from last season (Cole, cross, radium, zigzter) - but the chemistry of the team has changed.
We are now looking for a scout for S13. We've trialed about 4-5 so far, and I'm bumping this thread one last time as we're going to make a decision shortly about which scout we will select.

I'm sorry to tery, this wonderful group of guys and all my fans out there. Sadly personal life and the military has forced me to backup or to not play at all.
To the scout that these guys choose, be honored to play with a great group and dedicated people. They will go far into S13.
