Perhaps, though it's less about what other people think the quality of my writing is and more about myself and whether or not I was able to write the best thing possible. It's something that really bothers me as a writer, and would be further compounded with not being able to really watch matches and the like.

Don't you underestimate the maddest and saddest of men.

Yeaaahhh I don't think so. There's no way I'd be able to keep up with the teams / matches, let alone write about them with the quality and wit that Xan had.

Feel free to let me know what I missed / got incorrect. Rosters in parentheses I don't know who's playing what.

You youngsters probably don't know this, but monkeysuit actually created MGE so he could shit on the egos of fragging class players by repeatedly destroying them as Medic.

SYOPS is dead / inactive according to the team page.

At this rate, with so many question marks, merging IM and Open would seem the more likely option than moving up 16 Open rosters, since so few of the playoff teams even returning. That would be devastating and hopefully doesn't come to that.

dog1 was a S21 IM team.

dog2 is a S22 Invite team.

As cookiejake is the only returning member from the S21 lineup I wouldn't call it a reform since it's essentially a new team.

I use "roster" and "lineup" interchangeably sometimes, but what I meant was they could have a different lineup for pretty much every week with that set of players heh.

Froyo Black to field a different roster for every week (or every match) this season.

Classic teejay.

My flight is in an hour, hypehype. I think I'll try to find all the NA-based gamers in Asia for an NA-only team to assert our dominance over there. #NATF2

Where is SureShot? Back in Invite! \o/

Jaguar is an experienced and proven team captain and leader, a rare thing in today's TF2. I have a lot of respect for Jag and his ability to manage a team, because he's been consistent since he started back in S11. He's formed a solid core of projectile classes with aZn and ry4n, who are both Soldiers capable of punishing your team or your Medic on any day of the week. The fact that aZn just happens to be a really good Medic is a little unfair, if you ask me. I remember back in S20 or whatever when the combo was aZn / ScrewB and it didn't matter who was playing Pocket or Medic. I don't know much about midas, but was pretty consistent from what I remember scrimming against them last season. Anyway all you need to know is you're going to be in capable leadership, with a good supporting cast that's only going to grow over time. Tryout for them!

Good luck, boys.

asianriceguy and I are both going to be in Asia for the AFC. Should be a good time.

Quick, someone compile all the best stories in Invite history so Lyreix can make them into cartoons.

Yz50's steak dinner, b4nny and tyrone's breakup, Platinum vs. b4nny, etc. etc. I'm drawing a blank on others but you get the idea.

Will pay to see awesome cartoons.
