Crossfire Draft Tournament II

The second edition of the Crossfire Draft Tournament kicks off in a little under two hours time, where 8 teams will battle it out in a double elimination bracket! 7 new captains have come into the fold with the sole aim of dislodging Captain Clown off his thrown as he tries to defend the title as current CDT Champion.

The teams were decided by the captains of each team who had to pick one player each in turn until everyone had 6 in their lineup. The player poule was based on who signed up being available. Below you can see the first round of games as well as each teams lineup.

Clown comes into this as defending champion and quite like last time he has surrounded himself with a group of players being a little bit he does know from the past and a little bit he does not. kARn4J and dAv1d having played with the Latvian before, if only briefly for the Frenchman, he will have a good idea of what they can do and are capable of. So enter joshua, Elviss and zMk who hope to round off a successful lineup. Team Clown are one of the top teams to win the tournament judging by the recent crossfire poll and with someone with the experience and leadership that their captain has, Victory is quite possible.

Team-kReSti is for most people a surprising lineup, There are some rumors that kReSti wanted to play with as many players as possible he has yet to play with before and this approach should be applauded as CDT is not just about winning it is also about seeing some players that perhaps you wouldn't see normally. All of the lineup, BloOdje, humM3L, miks, palemki and stexx, I don't think anyone thought they would see taking part and it could either be a big hit or a big miss in terms of on the field performance. They go up against a firm favorite in the first round though and will have a hard time overcoming such a talented lineup.

Team-chry has hit some snags already with possible lineup issues, although after learning from issues in the last CDT surrounding this situation it has been snuffed out quickly. The lineup boasts talented players in every position with the captain chry himself one of the top smg engs in the game as well as rifle Jere being viewed as a top rifle these days it will be down to the other players to make sure this unit plays solidly. Fortunately frEeze, lettu, numeric and ZaK all bring experience and aiming ability along with them and as long as all things click on the day, this team has every chance of taking home the title.

dialer has gone for quite a well balanced team with aim heavy players phyZiC and sqZz as well as anim, also going for objective minded players, like himself, in Krein who he is part of team Poland with. Kevji completes the lineup with his rifle and like most teams this lineup boasts a lot of experience and skill but what stands out a lot is the aforementioned balance between raw aim, team players and objective players - if the balance turns out to be good it could spell W-I-N for the lineup on the night.

Team-Matias
Iron
Jewe
Matias
Salaneuvos
Squall
twidi
Team-tornis
Altsi
rAzZ
s1LENT
SQuid
tornis
Vanhaomena

Matias has gone for an all Finnish lineup, one step further then Team-miNd in the last CDT edition. All the players no doubt have good experience of playing together being from the same scene and this could help them in the early rounds. With the talent and experience of Iron Squall and twidi here is hoping Jewe and Salaneuvos can fill the gaps on such a skilled mashup. They are seen currently as second favorites to win tonights competition and should if all things go to plan make it at least the top 4 teams.

Team-tornis is a real mixup of players with nearly all six players hailing from different nations. tornis has gone with another bunch of experienced players but sadly, even with rAzZ and Vanhaomena in the lineup the team are seen as the least likely to win the competition by the current poll. It could well be down to the performances of SQuid, s1LENT and Altsi on how well this team does tonight given the experience and quality of the other players.

Team-xPERiA
gr0ss
L4mpje
miNd
Night
subbi
xPERiA
Team-griim
aphesia
Baggiez
griim
kiwi
TOMOYO
Winghaven

Team-xPERiA are favorites to win tonight and this probably has a lot to do with the inclusion of Night in the team. xPERiA himself has got back into form and is firing on all cylinders in recent weeks, with a rifle such as miNd in the lineup also kills should not be a massive problem. gr0ss, L4mpje and subbi finish the lineup and their performances will be key to make sure this machine stays well oiled and fully functioning. They come up against a quality team in the first round but they will surely be disappointed with anything less then first place overall in the competition.

griim has picked up some nice picks and a lineup that boasts some nice aim in aphesia and griim himself as well as Baggiez who also adds spam to the equation. Helping out with spam as well will be of course Winghaven, lets hope he remembers how to throw an airstrike and shoot a panzer after recently making the push into BF3 competitive scene. kiwi and surprise pick of the CDT TOMOYO finish off the lineup which right now is not given much of a chance to win - but if all things slot into place the team has the experience and balance to cause even the most talented lineup problems.
