The stage is set for an early season clash between 2 teams predicted to settle in at the top of IM come playoff time.

Sporadic and EVIL find themselves head to head to start off the season which should be a explosive preview of what’s the come when playoffs rolls around. Sporadic boasted a booming 14-2 record in IM last season with stark competition which ended with a thriller against OMNI5 (Invite Moveup) in the second round of the playoffs. The whole team has shown they are a force in IM, with goku and hayes returning as a huge force behind the team’s playmaking and erratic yet oppressive play style, paired with a new scout duo in Rikachu and phone, this team is sure to be turning heads this season.

They find themselves against Every_Villian_is_Lemons (EVIL) Which could possibly have one of the more diverse and solid soldier combos in the entire division. In their second season in a row together (Previously H4H Invite S27), Reflecto and faust are a duo with potential to turn any match into their playground and take over games. Pair that with up and coming talent like emo and a solidly experienced supporting cast, and you have yourself a team where the sky is the limit.

Who will prove they are ready to take it to the top of the division and set the pace early for what is gearing up to be an intense intermediate division? Tune in with casters eXtine and Row alongside Boomawrangler on production, and come prepared for an epic showdown!
