Torden — It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there…now where to start. One of the biggest dogs right now is Infused, who’s secured themselves 2 new recruits, Quad and Flisko. The former was seen pulling something as hilarious special as a quadruple (fitting, yes) overbooking of trials this past Monday, until Infused pulled the longest straw. The latter, recently cut from TCM alongside Pena, as things simply weren’t working out, was ironically what pulled Quad away from TCM and into the infused roster. -Much to the despair of byte’s boys, who is trying to find a new scout to accompany the return of powerduo Haunter and Coinz as soldiers.
Those portoes aren’t the only ones back to old tricks, as members of the former Dignitas have been seen playing steady this week, with upcoming talent Larsa instead of Haza. The new name is “Relic“, and is said to have signed up for ETF2L.As top scouts are removed from the available pool left, right and center, the options for TCM and Tt are getting scarce, however all is not lost as Qun‘s newfound backup position might see him seeking a new team to play badly for on 1 map at lan. Meanwhile, MrMystery claims a return of Broder, but inside sources are adamant they’re still lacking players to take over the world (of div1) just yet.
One thing that is certain, Infused are now confirmed for ETF2L, with Boomeh also moved to backup, which should now ensure all top teams will be collected in (at least) one place this season! That’s the compact version, we haven’t been short on tips this week and 1 of them were from Daleth, who was kind enough to supply us with rosters (edited for known details).
Daleth — With the next league seasons quickly approaching, everyone is in a mad scramble to form or join a team, and it’s no exception for the top rung of the ladder. Out of the ash of many fallen teams, we see quite a few fiery phoenixes rearing their heads in preparation for the competition. Let’s take a look.
