Definitely. As many have stated, Dynasty has a lot of potential and can only improve from here on out.
Dynasty really only has room to improve. They're a fresh young team, before a no-name and now "the guys that got top 4 and beat Str8 50-30." I'm beginning to like 'em a lot.
Unfortunately, final boss placed out of the top 8 but they will continue to be my favorite team. That is until Ogre2 leaves, then its not final boss anymore (or at least not the 2006 final boss). I'm glad Td beat str8 though, I dislike them a lot (walshy's needler kill on t2 comes to mind hahaha)
I still don't think Dynasty will repeat. The three teams at the top did not make any roster changes. Everyone 4th and down, dynasty included, made some roster changes that I believe bit them in the ass. Dynasty had a very smart player to anchor the team in Enable, and some raw talent in aPG and Tizoxic so they took teams that weren't at their best by suprise. Come Orlando, teams will have settled into their grooves, and we'll see much better performances out of teams with more veteran players. Because of that, once rosters settle after Orlando, I'm seeing Tizoxic and aPureGangster ending up on higher seeded teams, leaving Enable and guy-who's-name-I-forgot(edit: Destin) to once again pick up two more spares from the roster shuffling. That is, if Enable doesn't get snatched up by another team as well. I could see him ending up on a young team like SQ if he wants to and plays his cards right, he was a damn good objective player from what I saw. I'm also predicting Heretic TS leaves the circuit, because of things like that steak Dynasty handed to Str8. But future gametype predictions are another discussion.
Whats your logic behind Heretic TS being removed because Dynasty steaked Str8. Its not the gametypes fault Str8 got destroyed. They should have practiced more.
Yeah, that was probably me predicting things way too early I guess. Still, I would love to see a one gametype per map setup for MLG, so change that to I hope instead of I predict.
I wouldn't count on a Dynasty split up. Of course it's possible, but IMO, the reason of their success is their bond with eachother, which I'm sure will make a trade difficult for them. I'm sure tD and Str8 won't be making changes, and Carbon is unlikely. These are the only teams that stand in Dynasty's way. Why make roster changes if you can't trade up? Dynasty's sticking together and getting atleast top 6.
Well that whole second half pretty much hinged on the first half(Dynasty not repeating in Orlando) being true. Besides, do you think that if they even get 6th like you suggest, and then a spot is available on a big name team aPureGangster wouldn't take the offer and leave Dynasty? He joined Dynasty from The Influence after Dallas, even though UTI placed higher than Dynasty before. Only time will tell but right now these guys only have one event together under their belts, the bond can't be that strong.
Way back when I first got into MLG, FB was my favorite team, too. The original break up was unfortunate, but now I'd like to see 2gre and 'Side team up with the RoyBox twins. Instinct hasn't been doing well lately. The twins need two new teammates, and 2gre and StrongSide would probably make a good team. EDIT: Also, I don't belive Dynastly will make top 4 and Orlando. I know that their improving, but a lot of the pro teams will step it up for Orlando, and I just don't think Dynasty can continue to improve.
i have to disagree i think Dynasty will continue to get better maybe not in time for Orlando but defiantly for next season. they will step up their game just like the rest of the big names of MLG. it's going to be interesting to see what actually happens
They practice hours a day for months... It's only natural that they grow bonds. My opinion stands firm: if there are no roster changes by Orlando, they'll break boundaries. aPG never clicked with any team till Dynasty. He's got something there.
Well, rosters are locked till Orlando. I was speculating past that, because I'm bored and talking about roster changes is more fun than "I think this team will do good" "I think the other team will do good"
Ah, forgot about that bit, lol. Tbh, its almost impossible to guess correctly until we see Orlando results.
I'm hoping that Dynasty cement themselves as top 4, Carbon have now without question, but people are still hanging on to names like Instinct and FB despite their placings. I guess with FB finishing outside the top 8 people are really realising that the name just doesn't equal top 4 without question anymore, but I still see Instinct in the top 4 of people's Orlando predictions and I don't know why. @ SMG: if you see this, I know it will only convince you that I'm an Instinct hater but I'm not, honestly. I really like every player on that squad, I just can't help thinking that the squad isn't working as a whole. If team dynamic doesn't change significantly then Neighbor needs to find a new home, and tbh part of me even thinks that Lunch and Roy might be better getting out on their own. Though I can't really venture too much on that point since 2 new members would make Instinct such a different team, and I don't want them to split, they're such an awesome duo.
i agree with Pegasi. Lunch and Roy need to find a new team, they work good together. Instinct just doesn't have the team chemistry that the other teams do.
I said it in the skype, and I've seen people saying it after the event. Final Boss is weak now(can't say what the problem was without VOD), and Instinct lacks anything resembling teamwork. Lunchbox and Roy need to pair with Strongside and Ogre 2, for the benefit of all four.
i would like to see Lunch, Roy, SS, and Ogre 2 on a team together. I think they would do pretty good together
