It's called xbox live, maybe you've heard of it?

all neighbor has to do is be confident in his team.... and if he were to ever have a team to be confident in it would be TD.

Personally, after watching heinz I think he's overrated. (best player in the league, really? watch his pov against str8 rippin at orlando.)

Either way, str8 and td are arguably "stacked"

cloud and elamite replacing fear and ghost, overall that's a slightly better sounding lineup than the old instinct.

Carbon is just two teams of two imo, but they will rape people. SS is underrated by most imo. (unless everyone still thinks he's rape, then alright.)

Demon D was going off at orlando, maniac is a solid player, though still an unlikely championship winner. Tizoxic is rape, and chig went most positive with most objective on classic... it's a solid lineup.

eh, BtH is more along the lines of a team I don't care much for. I dislike Demon D and Chig, more or less indifferent about Maniac and Tizoxic.

CbN dropped their 2 best players and picked up worse replacements (SS = Naded without any objective mindset, Best Man < Shockwave).

Heinz will focus on objective, allowing Legit to work on slaying again, which I think is a great move.

How will Neighbor do with Hysteria/Pistola taking power weapons? Unsure.

Instinct I think is the best on paper right now, Cloud is insane and if Elamite plays like he did at Anaheim it's pretty much game over. Lunchamite doing objective and support with Roy and Cloud killing everything sounds dirty to me.

Regardless, Defy and Bestman are buddies so they'll be happy to play with eachother, Bestman was also arguably Classics best player in Orlando, and you don't think Strongside wants to place higher than 5th? Trust me man this is going to be a solid team, and XBL or not. Going +36 as a team against Triggers Down proves this.

Shockwave is not better in Best Man in Halo 3. Go back and look at the stats since Best Man ended up on Classic, and Naded/Walshy ended up on Carbon, Best Man's stats blew Wave's out of the water, and they were only placing a few spots below them each event. He has a better shot with every weapon, the only thing that Wave has over him is that he was one of the emotional leaders of Carbon, whereas BM has always just been the stoic one. That's what they need moving forward, especially now that they have Strongside's huge fan following.

Strongside for Naded is a push, Strongside has the ability to do everything that Naded finally started doing for his team, but in 2009 he never had that need to. He played his best Halo for Status Quo earlier in the season, and that's with Totz/FS hording objective because they couldn't slay. He went to FB and put up the same numbers because then OG2 and VX were doing the same roles. I guarantee now that he's back teaming with Walshy, you'll see him do more of everything (because they all will, instead of just one or two players doing it) and he'll play like everyone remembers him in H2. If anything, Carbon is more of a "complete" team than Instinct and tD, because the four of them have a history of playing with each other.

tD's playstyle will probably end up changing completely with Neighbor, he'll still be able to run around and do different things but the other three will change their style to make up for losing Heinz (who IS the best player of 2009) but they still have the team to win and place Top 2 consistently.

Instinct has a fanboy roster, and it'll be sweet to see what a team with both LBX and EW can do, but that's the same team with two people who have a repeated history of going cold in big TS games. If that happens, or Roy or Cloud underperforms, they struggle to stay in the Top 4.

Str8 comes out of this with the best team on paper, they'll need a lot of practice to stay even with how much Carbon and tD will be able to practice. If rosters stay the same for opener:

1) Str8
2) tD
3) CbN
4) Instinct
5-6) BtH / FB (If they pick up FiS/ToTz)
7) SQ
8) sLu

1)str8
2)Carbon
3)td
4)Instinct
5)Bth
6)fb
7)H&E
8)AtG

1)tD

i sorta wish t2 would die he annoys me so much

YES!
