What: ESEA-Open Playoffs
As an exciting month of esea open playoffs began, tgbf.tv brings you the first of our many casts, a first round match up of Lore's Merry Men (12-4) against Area 51 (11-5).
Lore's Merry Men, the 8th seed in the playoffs, is having a breakout season. Once considered a low/mid TWL team, LMM made some statement wins against Gentlemen's Club, 50cal and Rusty Buttholes this season. Although they are carrying one of the easier schedules compared to the other teams in the playoffs, Lore's Merry Men are no jokes. Kayaws heads their team and is one of the more known players on the roster, an old school vet that has been in the game since season 1 of CEVO. Their unknown soldier/medic combo of Ghost, itisgreen and Lore shouldn't be overlooked, they have been together for over 3 seasons and their chemistry is through the roof. The focus area on the team has to be their scouts as their carousel of scouts keep rotating. They started off the season with b0t and f1re, then picking up smilie, killing in the name and djfivenine, who all started in a few matches. Now with the addition of yodogs, you have absolutely no idea who will be the starting 2 at the scout spot each match.
Area 51 has gone through a very rocky season, but recovered very nicely. They begun the season as one of the favorites in open, and they showed why by taking down another favorite in Detox and barely losing to Apocalypse Gaming. However, during the middle of the season, the team dropped 4 straight games and lost a few of their starting players. Their leader Alan, did not give up and recovered nicely by picking up Teto and Breather to replace those players. Their strong point still has to be their soldiers. Kayp and Teto are both great DMers with amazing accuracy. Moero and Breather are their scouts, while not above average in DM skills, they make it up in strategy and intelligence.
Look for a great match tonight on tgbf.tv!
