Well I'm new around these parts and my alias is short bus. I'm proud to be a new writer for CommFT. I will be covering UGC 6v6 and I will keep you guys posted throughout each season with the latest news and information. For all of you that do not follow the league, UGC 6v6 Season 8 playoffs started this week and there are a few good teams in the running for the championship. The teams in Platinum this season are:
Whiskey Militia
Super Happy Fun Time[x]
Pow Pow
The Last Bosses[x]
Take it Easy
Yancy Dick Sucking Club
The Typedefs[x]
Honey Badgers[x]
The first match of playoffs was already played on cp_granary (at least we got it out of the way) and those teams with x's by their names in the list above have been eliminated already. I am very excited because this season we have some really good players in playoffs. In particular, the YDSC roster is stacked with some ESEA-IM players: TECHNOSEX, SteveC, and m0nster. Likewise, Whiskey Militia has Mausy who is a IM player as well. His team has already won their match against Super Happy Fun Time. Although every team currently in playoffs has strengths, I predict that it will most likely come down to these two teams in the championship match. Both teams have a few good IM players on their rosters and they have a strong W/L up until now. However, it should be noted that Whiskey Militia has already lost to YDSC once before so hopefully they have learned from their mistakes and will be prepare for a re-match.
Although Whiskey Militia and YDSC both have strong rosters, the other teams in playoffs should not be ignored. The remaining teams worked hard to get where they are and might be more motivated than Whiskey Militia and YDSC given that the players of these teams will be occupied with ESEA-IM from this week onward. After all, most ESEA players that play UGC only play to keep busy during the offseason. The other two teams, Pow Pow and Take it Easy, have their fair share of talent and experience. From playing against them, I know that the Scout combo on Pow Pow is very strong and certainly a force to be reckoned with. The next two weeks will be very interesting and I will post more articles as the matches progress. Every team remaining has a chance to win and I know that they will be giving it all that they can.
Please leave a comment saying who you think will be playing each other in the final match and who that you think will win. Stay on the lookout for more UGC coverage from me in the next two weeks - I have some great stuff planned and I will be keeping you guys up to date through the championship. Thanks guys!
