Since this is the first game of the season, there's no pressure: we're not trying to win division 2, we are trying to stay put. I don't know much about Arm3d, we have never played them. Nevertheless, I sure know Perry, who is a very skilled scout with sick aim. When it comes to map picks, we basically picked our strongest map, Gravel Pit.
When I asked our guys who would like to make this statement, the most common answer was "it's easy, just say we roll them in 10mins". So I guess we will roll Arm3D kk thnx!

I'm expecting a pretty tight match between us and Celsus, both of us are quite new teams. I know most of the Celsus guys, m0re is a fantastic demoman and if we give him too much space he'll take good advantage of that and run all over us. And, of course, a special mention to Monkiainen who's a nice cuddly bear, never ceases to amaze me with his undeniable skills.
Our map choice wasquite obvious for us, Badlands is our strongest map right now and we couldn't afford to take any risks against Celsus. They're the team we need to beat, so we gotta play the stuff we're best at. I don't know what to expect on Gravel Pit. Let's just say we will be practising it hard this week
Fellow division 2 player Nor also offered his opinion:

I'm very excited about this important match for Division 2A. As Celsus' leader m0re says, Gravel Pit is their favourite map and it doesn't surprise me, since it's well known fact that Finns are as good on Gravel Pit as Russians are on Well. Even though both teams have got some very good players, I would place my bets on Celsus. Gravel Pit is not only their own pick, but in addition Arm3D was struggling to find a second soldier for a long time. I am not sure if they managed to build their team's chemistry and teamwork up to the level of Team Celsus in the short period of time that remained.
I found it rather easy to predict Gravel Pit, but Badlands is a lot harder for me. Even though Team Celsus might have better team chemistry, Badlands will be hard for them. This is mainly because of Arm3D's scout duo "perry-zodiak". Those two can be annoying as hell; Perry with his jumpy style and Zodiak with an extremely good aim. Something else I'm looking forward to are the duels between bpf and m0re. Both of them are very experienced and offensive demomen, which will make the game even more fun to watch. I think Badlands will be a close one, although I expect Arm3D to win it in the end.
Good luck to both teams.
