Hey all hope you guys are having a good Saturday!! My name is King and I have decided to do weekly MLG/TLN updates for the community. These updated will include team changes, LAN scores/predictions, and so much more. So let's get started:
Team Changes: (Curiosity of Coach Small's Thread)
This week we saw the Reincarnation of one formerly pro team. Was it Str8 Rippin? No. Was it Classic? No. It was Heaven and Earth consisting of Walshy, Russo, Scarvayne, and last but not least Sypher. I personally think this is a great team. With the brains of Captain Clutch himself, and solid DMRs like Russo, Scar, and Sypher, this a team to look out for at the opener. We also saw the Warriors taking a daring move with them dropping long time member Brake, for the Combine Champion RyaNoob. I love Brake, he's a great person as well as a solid player, but RyaNoob is just a god. Having gone from Combines to Pro Status in less than a season, you know he's going to be someone to look out for in 2011.
Upcoming TLN LANs:
Mr P announced this week that the next LAN will be a 4 team LAN consisting of Top Seeded Final Boss, #2 Instinct, #15 Legendz, who just lost to Instinct in the Winner's Semi Finals during the Dr. Pepper 10k Gamebattles ladder, and #16 Gimme my Money. Now despite the loss by Legendz this week, they are still a solid team and I think they could be a top team in a LAN setting. My predictions are Instinct in 1st Place, they've had the most LAN practice out of any Top 16 team this off-season, Legendz in 2nd Place, I expect Defy and Strongside to make a big comeback after a disappointing 2010 season, GMM at 3rd Place, after seeing them play at the 3 team LAN last month, I know they are a great team, and Final Boss in 4th place. I picked Final Boss to be last because I am expecting a Big Time Choke similar to what we saw during the 2 Team LAN a few weeks ago.
Another thing that was announced that I think everyone's excited about is the 2nd Pros vs. Joes Fantasy Camp at the TLN Gaming House. I'm pumped for this one, the first one looked like tons of fun, and with the addition of Ogre 2 being added as the 6th Pro, it's going to get pretty crazy. I hope to attend this one myself although at this point it doesn't look like that will happen. :(
Closing Thoughts:
I want to thank everyone for reading my first update, expect one every Saturday for the foreseeable future. Be sure to add me on XBL (tamaK1NG) or follow me on Twitter @tamaKiiNG. Again thank you all for reading please leave any questions or comments you have. I appreciate CONSTRUCTIVE criticism (no flaming please, not that that really happens on TLN ;) ) If you have anything you want me to cover in my next update that you can post that too. Alright See you guys!!
