MWC 2020 Threat Assessment: Business Associates
Posted: 13 May 2020, 08:05
The roster I am using matches the one in discord at the time I am writing this, any discord updates will be accounted for
I will only give 5 balls to one player on each team, if applicable, denoting that player as the teams best player in my opinion
one more note, if you disagree with my Threat Assessments, prove me wrong in mwc20, I'll admit my error(s)
The Business Associates
Originally this team was a combined effort of my myself and paris to throw together a MWC team of dudes we like to play with. Due to developments in rosters, an overflow of returning players, and paris & I both wanting to be the head honcho of a roster he is now leading a strong BA. This is all well as he is a capable, yet sporadic, captain who holds the respect of his roster. This roster doesn't strike me as organized (or active) as HOTSQUAD but just as powerful in its mix of players. Definitely a contender for the cup - 4 trow
par73 (captain) - "YO YO PARIS IN FLAMES IS HERE GET READY TO GET FUCKED" starts to freestyle rap - read this in an angry boston accent and tell me you at least aren't mildly concerned for this individual or whats about to happen to your units. if you aren't then you got a problem. paris is someone who plays entirely dependent on his level of sobriety, but is generally hanging with the top. some of the things he can pull off are quite impressive, in fact so impressive that he is pulling them off while 3 hours deep into CBD tinctures and rambling about some obscure concept on voicechat at 3 AM that I think he definitely deserves a special kind of respect - 5 balls
adrenaline - adrenaline is largely considered the best player ever by adrenaline. he's actually very good at micromanaging units, and I've seen him take on 2 4ballers in a 1v2s and hang with them if not beat them. this is however not too helpful if you play csgo all day. adren doesn't care too much for the macro part of myth or the strategic overview keeping him from his 5 ball rating. saying all this he will be a solid hvy hitter for BA - high 4 balls
captain - captain is a solid role player who takes delight in the fetch unit, and I presume other artillery units. saying this he is much like trevelyan, where you can hand him arty units and expect him to do good work with them. he hasn't been very active - high 3 balls
Chron1 - to be honest with you all I don't know much about chron except that he is good at the game. from the handful of times I played with him he's been very good some games and mediocre others. I think the cause is his extreme inactivity - low 4 balls
nemesis - in an era gone by nem was at the top of the top. unfortunately he must always play with the mandatory 200+ aussie ping and at 4 AM sharp. having experience with both of these concepts I can confidently say they suck dick. despite this, nem still plays as a solid role player with the capability to step up to the heavy hitting spot - 4 balls
rawr - rawr is someone whos always talked big, and shared gifs of dwayne the rock johnson with every message he types in discord. these are signs of mental illness. saying that, rawr is a solid role player and can adequately handle most unit sets. now saying that I have seen him lose some pretty winnable fights. another thing hes got going against him, extreme inactivity. from the words of par73 himself, "he can't find a single god damn hour in his day to log onto myth and shake his rust" - 3 balls
samuel -
par73: sam wanna play in mwc
sam: lol
well guess what, sam's been pretty active and enthusiastic about playing. hes signed on for the past few nights and topped several games in kills and damage. sam is definitely a solid role player and a quite capable heavy hitter. this paired with his history in NC and other solid teams points to sam being a top player for B.A. - high 4 balls
Vasazel - once known as Vihaan, a mediocre deer player, he one day signed on as vasazel and slightly rippled the fabric of the universe. similar to ducky changing to bone, vasazel took a step towards becoming better at the game and taken more seriously with his new and advanced alias. vasazel is a solid role player who shows promise for more. he can be relied on to show up, and play consistently, for now (with expected improvement). - high 3 balls
verminix (aka DENTIST) - two words, super insane. "20YER EPSIERNCE REDMERCENRARY ELEGACY OF PISS AND SHIT EDESTORYING FAGGOTS ON A 01000 THOUSNAD PING SNCE THE GNENESIS SMALROLE SLYHTERIN WIZAR WITH AGRIPING REDCOBAR DEATH EMITER" - verminix himself, and he says it all. small role specialist with very intense micro skills. since this is a rating based of off 2t play I can't confidently give VERMINIX a higher rating, but he is excellent at micromanagement - low 4 balls
wwo - old. very old. "don't give me all these units I only want 1 or 2 presets, yeah give me the soulless I can click them around" - wwo (paraphrased). despite his age and old man grumblings wwo is a solid player. I would say his edge is his macro movements and map awareness over his micro, but that's still there when he needs it. even though he would hate every second of it, wwo could serve as a capable backup captain in par's absence - low (and I mean real low and droopy) 4 balls
I will only give 5 balls to one player on each team, if applicable, denoting that player as the teams best player in my opinion
