honeymustard — The new Epsilon is all well and good, but there’s plenty of other happenings that we haven’t talked about yet. So let’s take a looksies:
Infused Update: It’s now confirmed, Flushy is part of the roster.
It was mentioned last month, but the team seems to be finalising its lineup now. We’re looking at:
Flushy (medic)
Boomeh (soldier)
Mike (soldier)
Numlocked (demoman)
Greg (scout)
Qun (scout)
That leaves just one spot left, the medic. Hat is out, citing problems with certain emo players. The team has been seen playing with Flushy over the last week, though in my personal experience, this player has always had commitment issues (Asian parents and school don’t mix). Let’s hope that this team will be good to go for ETF2L’s next season.
Update:
flushy- is now known as infused|flushy
As soon as the team folded, everyone was saying that it was just a matter of time before the Rawr squad would reform. And everyone was right. The team has been seen signing up for the Bigfoot TF2 challenge, but little is known regarding the team’s roster. So far, it looks like we have:
Ghent (soldier)
Harbleu (soldier)
Arx (scout)
Vlad (scout)
Joske seems like an unlikely candidate – so who will fill his questionably sized shoes? Dr Justice, perhaps? Me!? And the medic? That’s anyone’s guess. The team struggled after losing Tsu, and now they seem to be in the same situation. I guess we’ll find out in the cup.
Update:
The team seem to have a full roster on the BigFoot sign-up page: http://www.excello.net/team/2701/ So it looks like Joske and Tsu are back!
Wondershowzen and Oronoc (TheySaid – or Rob, affectionately) are out – leaving a scout and a soldier spot. Unlike the previous two teams, these guys have got them on lockdown. The same man who inducted Wondershowzen has returned, in R7an. Poop has moved from his role as demoman to pocket soldier (no problems here – he proved more than capable in the role at i42) and Randa has been added to round off the 6. The team looked like they could have been in trouble after losing Rob, but these moves should give the team a lot of strength. The lineup is now:
_Ben (medic)
Namu (soldier)
Poop (soldier)
Randa (demoman)
Moregnan (scout)
Norrlääääääääääääääääääänningen (scout)
R7an (scout – backup)
This has been covered in Huumba’s interview with TheSucker, but hey, let’s take a look. The team have given Hurr the boot, and taken on Hat in the scout role, a very decent upgrade in my book. This team has a bright future. Their lineup is now:
TheSucker (medic)
Linus (soldier)
ALX (soldier)
Zooob (soldier – backup)
Cyber (demoman)
Hat (scout)
Tviq (scout)
If you’ve ever been asked to play a double mix at 2am, then chances are you’ve played with this lot. These guys are all good friends and have a lot of experience playing together. As long as they stick together (please don’t quit another team as medic, Sparkle), they should do well:
Sparkle (medic)
Dav1dd (soldier)
Side|Effect (soldier)
Thy (demoman)
Gubbins (scout)
Quad (scout)
And the rest…
This is a rumour, but I’ve heard that “Power Gaming” have been seen playing recently with Mafu on scout and Hymzi on demoman. I’m sure there’s a logical explanation for that decision. I’ve always been critical of Mafu on demoman in my MGE articles (though I never got the chance to say that more recently, he’s been playing superbly, for the most part), but my suggestion to switch him and Hymzi was just a joke! Outside of “Power”, there have been rumblings of Dignitas making their long awaited return. Apparently they have some shakeups of their own in store. What’s the gossip, Darn!? Also there’s this:
19:58 – Hat: mouz(2strong) / k1ck
19:59 – Mark: whats happening there
19:59 – Hat: mouz new team
19:59 – Hat: k1ck changed 2 players
19:59 – Mark: who who
19:59 – Hat: lol i dont know
Someone fill us in!
