This concoction of experience and youthful brashness was promising even before they brought in d4ryl and space in the mid-season Transfer Window. One of their undeniable strengths lies in their Demoman sh4dlr, whose deathmatch capabilities rivals the best in the division. That is not to say that their other players aren’t playing their part – this team’s line up has a fresh feel to them and I wouldn’t be surprised if they go all the way.

Reaching playoffs with an unusual score line of 2-0-4 (Every Villain is Lemons more like Every Game is a Tie xD) they beat the 4th seed team Good Fun Have Luck with relative ease. Fielding players from OZFortress Intermediate - Fanatical, Josh and Delphinoid, they might possess the experience and tactical know-how, but ping issues could hinder them. But hey, when you have Gaus and Bee in your arsenal, who’s to say EVIL won’t just deathmatch their way through?Team Stats:Wins: 3Losses:Ties: 4Win Percentage: 42.85%Player(s) to look out for: Fanatical Delphinoid GausWell there you have it folks, two of the best teams in Open Division battling out to see who gets the final spot in the Grand Finals so we’re waiting to see who the winner is after their match tonight!
