Team Introductions
Bork Side of the Moon returns with a largely intact roster from S18. Always a bit of a “god-killer” team, surprising even the strongest teams in the division.
Bunker Fun Time is back with a slightly trimmed roster that looks to be powerful. We look forward to see if the wacky comps continue in BFT tradition.
Clouded Minds is back, but with a blue logo this season? I don’t recall the blue logo. They may have the largest roster shakeup, as it appears trades happened within the CM teams to create the current lineup.
Macro Machines stays in the West this season. The roster maintains most of the core, with new recruits rotating in to cover sub positions. Who will play more Artanis, BFT or MM?
Magnitude: Aftershock was a powerhouse in S18 and by the looks of the roster they have crafted, will continue to be in S18. Their squad is full of NGS veterans. A signature, full-throttle style will be a force to be reckoned with this season.
Roll1 Esports is perhaps the most scheduled team in the league, having already locked in seven matches, which is a surprise to no one that knows them. Eight of nine players have played for R1E in previous season, creating some long-term chemistry for the group.
Surely We Scale are the divisional newcomers, moving up from Div C last season. With two new roster additions, we look forward to their potential in the contests to come this season.
