You better be exact like Coach Small, its hard work and its hard to believe anyone spreading rumors, so don't update any of the rosters until its 100% correct, good luck man!

*Edit: Talking to pros will be hard, so make sure to follow all of them on twitter for team updates!

[Kingdayame]

You know it!!

[errxr]

impact top 1. Easily the most individual skilled team. With better teamwork, than can get top 1

Very true and very good post. I believe that King can do it though. I have a feeling he does a lot more reading than he does posting and I believe he will do fine! Also, there won't be nearly as many team changes as there are in the off season (I think)

OT: Final Boss have said that they will be sticking together and I seem them taking Columbus. They just need to step up their game. They are the same team that won 3 events in a row at the end of Halo 3.

[sanctity]

Cant wait for the storm. I think with more practice and depending on their pool Warriors can get Top 3 this event, and hopefully win the event. Id love to see Robbie B and Snakebite win their first event, and to see Strongside finally win another one, also Elamite win with another team.

Edit: If the pool stuff stays the same their pool would be with Soul, Invictus, and Active Rush. I definitely think Warriors could 4-0 that pool.

[Jewjitsu]

i definitely want to see some team changes, they're so exciting.

[TechSlayer]

I believe Carbon is dying. Because Russo earlier said and Scarvayne posted looking for a team. And Anarchy is ditching classic. #TWITTER

[Sinstar94]

I'd like to think Dynasty is going to stick together but I think Snipedown and Tizoxic will get and take other offers. Or they'll drop GH057ayame

[Kingdayame]

If STR8 Rippin is going to make a comeback it will probably happen now.

[HEA7]

So THATS who p Tizype is!

[sECUREij]

Wouldn't Walshy be a FA or is he taking Carbon from those kids who got 22nd

[Makin]

BtH top 1 #Cbus

[chris_cr33p]

very disappointed with instinct i know they are aswell. this sucks :(

[PK Toolboxxx]

sQ and BtH top 2.

[Kingdayame]

Str8 Rippin Top 1,

oh wait..

[Valentine84]

Ghost and Totz to get dropped, Snipedown leaves and joins Instinct, Instinct number 1.

[ReFlex]

Str8 Rippin Top 1,

oh wait..

thatd be awesome but i dout instinct would drop a support player for a slayer

[DaMuSiCFiEnD]

A couple of notes that I've wanted to talk about
- Final Boss, IMO will do much better next event, It's in OG2's town and he wont take a 10th place standing
- Instinct, should stick together, idc what u say about ToTz, he's a high caliber player and if he wasn't any good. Then why would they have picked him up
- Impact to not do as well since most teams will start to stop underrating them
- SQ to stay within top 3, since their teamwork will be good.
- TD to make changes, like they always do
- Other teams, more changes
- DH, hopefully stays together and works out the kinks.

[Valentine84]

It makes perfect sense though: T2 has a national championship with Snipedown plus RoyBox teamed with him early in his H3 career I believe. Plus, Roy wouldn't have to be the main slayer on the team anymore so he could run around and use that deadly DMR he has, and Snipedown could grab the snipe and make huge plays. But the biggest reason to drop Totz, IMO, is the fact that Instinct lost a bunch of TS games in Dallas, most with Totz going pretty neg. I know the counter argument to this is that Totz baits himself for Roy and Lunch, but I could easily see them winning more TS games with Snipedown. Just my two cents. (p.s. I love Totz, he just needs to become more skilled in slaying or he needs to go.)

[MidKnight]

I dont want any hate comments after i say this please =]

Soooo, T2 didnt do really well in the tournament. Legit and Naded didnt either. And Snipedown was really disappointed. I want them to team so badly for a Str8 Rippin. Second thing - Neighbor and Elamite both got dropped from tD and those two reached success while tD didnt make a Top 8 Finish. Bad move, couldve been a really solid tD Squad, just my opinion, and happy storm watching! ill be waiting outside looking for a storm haha

totz played a lot better than t2 and if instinct were to drop a player i think it'd be t2 just saying what i think no flamin please

[Cheeky]

You will see us In either the WB finals, Championship match, or LB finals! quote me on that!!!
We will be shooting for that number one spot

The truth. Lol.

[sanctity]

Instinct really needs to drop Totz if they wanna be in contention for first. Every time I saw his POV I was like, "What is he doing?" And he seemed to cost them a good portion of Slayer games. They dont need a hardcore slayer, just somebody who can at least do decent in slaying. As a fanboy Id like to see Roy/Box/T2/Naded, but I doubt it would happen. Also, Im sure TD will drop SK lol.

Btw, Im not a Totz hater, just I think if Instinct wants to compete for first, they need to replace him.

[MidKnight]

this is what i heard via Myspace

Final Boss dropped Saiyan and picked up StrongSide.
So Final Boss is now : Walshy - Ogre 1 - Ogre 2 - StrongSide

I know what you mean. IMO I think Ghandi correctly called out Naded. He is either red hot or he's a complete waste on your team. I would love to see Legit and T2 back together, add a snipedown in there and I think it's all fun. Lastly I think a better 4th instead of Naded would be Ninja. That kid is crazy good.

and ninjas smart, did you hear him when he was up in the booth with chris puckett? damn, he taught me alot of Nexus that i didnt know much about

[Makin]

I was chatting with ninja when DH was playing mainstage and he pointed out that Legit had rockets as his secondary and forgot to reload them and thought they were empty then he died and the other team picked them up reloaded them killed some DH members and DH called out that they got the new rockets when they really didn't and they didn't set up for the new rocks and the other team picked them up unmolested. :D Ninja is smart!

[MichaelMongrel]

A game that takes skill seems to benefit StrongSide. He was a beast in H2, Only on par in H3, and he seems to be off to a great start in Reach.

Warriors top 3 next event without a change.

legit FAIL haha, i love Ninja, he was hella funny in the booth, shocked that Puckett didnt know much about the spawns, and DH wasnt prepared with the weapon drop times

[MidKnight]

ayo king, T2 might be making a new Str8 Rippin, keep an eye out man, via Hea7 and he saw from Facebook, so yeah, not trying to spread Rumors, but keep an eye out bro

[D Moralize]

as much as I would like to see them stick together I think the veterans on warriors will get tempted into joining other old timers on a team like td/dh or instinct, although if SS elamite naded and legit teamed I would probably drop dead instantly, and if not instantly then definitely after they dont take 1st

[Jewjitsu]

that facebook thing is just a bunch of posers trying to spread rumors. neither of those were legit facebooks. t2 isn't going anywhere and neither is enable, at this point at least.

[sanctity]

Enable already posted on the mlg forums that its a fake FB.

[MidKnight]

lol, i heard

[Jewjitsu]

i definitely think snipedown is one of the best reach players. i was actually really surprised with dynasty, considering they had zero lan practice. with some lan's in over the next couple of months, if dynasty sticks together, they probably will be a top 4 team. even though that's the case, i would love to see snipedown and t2 on the same team, maybe throw a legit and naded in there as well...everyone wants str8 rippin back lol

[MichaelMongrel]

As a fan of most of the top pro teams, I will rage if Warriors breaks.

ever since all the 08 Str8 Champions were all Free Agents, its been all a rage for them to come back together

[MichaelMongrel]

Roybox + tuLegitNaded. Anyone like this?

[mrkillboy]

I feel as if Impact, Warriors, DH, and Final Boss, really learned something from this event. I think these four teams are going to come into Columbus, looking brand new. I think they will come in hot and with tons of hype. I want to see Warriors top 1 over Impact, but from what I've seen Impact has a bigger chance than anyone. sQ played great at Dallas but, I'm betting they come into Cbus with a big head and don't get first or even top 3.

[Dust]

going for

Impact
Severance
Invictus
Instinct

[mrkillboy]

going for

Impact
Severance
Invictus
Instinct

I don't think Instinct is going to do good this year. Mainly because of how ToTz and T2 play. I don't think it works with Roy and LBX at all.

[mrkillboy]

If anything roster wise happens to Warriors/tD/GMM I will know. I know at least 1 person from each team. And I wouldn't lie about changes.

Note: Double post on accident.

[sECUREij]

I think People are sleeping way to much on Impact, say that "It was beginners luck" and "They caught everybody off guard" Well there are to X factors coming into this next event are.

1.Neighbor, Will he be playing as well as he did this event. I mean he was by far the BEST support slayers in the league. And he can, and will go off if his team needs that extra boost of slaying power.

2. Will Lethul, AA, and Adrenaline let the mainstage pressure break them this event

I don't see them losing that many slayer games.

The combine kids have no pressure in mainstage, i think they just arent getting as much warmup time as they want before games, i 100% agree with the neighbor statement though

[Sinstar94]

I really hope Dynasty sticks together. Snipedown and Destin are dirty and Destin is really well-rounded. GH057ayame had a rough event but there were flashes of brilliance there imo. Sometimes I feel GH057ayame focuses a little too much on the objective sometimes.

[I RiF I]

I'm a huge FB fanboy but i kind of want FB and Instinct to do poorly again in Cbus so the Roybox-Ola-2gre Team can be realized. It would probably never happen but i would love it if it did. Anyhow I look for Warriors to only get better the longer they are together and Impact is just sick but I look for SQ to repeat in Cbus.

[MidKnight]

i want team changes right now

[Big_E33]

i still say roy, lbx, heinz, and hysteria is the god squad

[MidKnight]

get your pools updated, and coaches is a plus also

Re watch The SQ WBF game and then come back, and tell me that the Combine Kids didn't feel any pressure

[Kingdayame]

Can a mod please sticky this?

Kingdayame, I am closing this thread but it is nothing against you. Small works closely on actually updating the sister thread on the MLG forums and will continue to do these threads on TLN, much like Reason / Lastman do the threads on the MLG forums. With that being said please post here (http://thelannetwork.com/forum/showthread.php?2972) from now on.

Thanks,
