I don't think that reimu and testify on scout will be Rush's strongest area as their heavy classes all seem to be particularly strong.

fuck.

It would be unthinkable to write this season preview without including our Argentinian friends, Rocutaneo. Don't ask me what their name means, it's probably some weird birth defect.

LOL

Are these actually based off of anything except past rankings?

SneakyPolarBearAre these actually based off of anything except past rankings?This isn't a ranking in itself, so don't feel offended if your team doesn't make the list. This is more of a "who to look out for" in open than anything else, and some interesting lineups that I wanted to talk about.

My question was, is the guy writing this basing his opinions on what teams to watch out for only on past rankings?

I believe it's 25 bucks an article, which is outrageous given the quality. We need a new open writer.

Another season, another Open pre-season article getting ripped... which happens every freaking season and no one seems to remember the cycle.

Please, take 20 hours out of your week to analyse all 60 teams and all 360 of their starters in open this season - all for $25. Of course he's generalizing, there haven't been any fucking matches played yet so none of us have any idea how the mix of sandbaggers, returning players, new players, players off classing, players you've never heard of, players who should be good but will end up sucking balls, etc. etc. etc., are going to mesh in a wide open division.

Deathanchor has been taking your shit for 4 or 5 fucking seasons how and never complains, is never late on articles, and does a fucking great job every week. If you don't like it, go start your own fucking Google Blogger site and pump out some content yourself. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.

/angry rant I repeat every season

Blackymonster, having been around since season 3, just came off of playing invite last season as medic. If he sticks with med going back into open he's probably going to tear things up with the pocket no matter who it is. I'd HOPE it would be thr4sher, however I know he can roam as well.

blacky is scout, im roaming.
