Division 2 preview.

Hello fellow quakers and welcome to
my preview EQL2?s division 2.

I was given the opportunity to write
news for division2 this eql season.
So here it goes and I hope you like it.

First off I?ll start with introducing
the teams, their key players and a hint
about their expected performance as well
as providing much info of their past as
i can to get you guys up to speed with
the teams.


El?intarha
It is not any bigger surprise to see
El?intarha (from this point I?ll call
them Zoo) in div2 this eql given their
good past seasons of both nqr and eql1.
As the nqr site is down it is hard to
recall much info from those games but I
remember that they made some strong
performances. Eql1 was somewhat of a
comeback season and they played 9-9 in
maps.

Key players are T-Moe, Ananas, JKova
and menth0l.

My tip: Above average.


Fraggers United.
This team have always impressed me and
have pulled of many nice victories in
big tournaments but lately they have lost
some of their edge and eql1 was somewhat
of a disappointment from their side.
Hopefully they can pull their game back
together and show the rest of div2 what
FU are capable of in tournament play. It
will also be interesting to see what new
player Oho can do outside of div5 where
he has dominated almost every map he played.

Key players are Bamsen, Katsku, Blasta and
Anza if he is going to play.

My tip: Below average.

Jokkmokk.
This team is very interesting and have gone
from noobish to skilled in a short period of
time compared to many other teams. I have
personally experienced their evolution from
raping them in 2 easy maps through playing
even with them and finally getting raped by
them. They are well suited for for taking
much points in this seasons div2.

Key players are hard to mention since their
success is based on the strength of many of them
but i would have to say that atleast Smala-
Greger, mogge and koffe rise a bit from the
rest of the crew.

My tip: Middle.

Death Dealers.
This mostly polish team has a good mix of
skilled players and they did well in last
season by finishing 3rd in div2 and thus
competing here once again. With newcommer
kingpin from sweden they will have atleast
one guy with good ms when playing vs northern
clans.

Key players are plast, billy and kingpin.

My tip: Middle.

Triada.
This clan is sort of new to the scene having
only competed in the ongoing nqr ladder.
With a good mix of polish, swedish and one
russian player they will ping good overall
and will be a force to look out for. Their
latest assets in Locktar and racersnigeln
have really strengthened their lineup.

Key players are Avenger and Locktar.

My tip: Below average.

Luis clan.
The Luis clan have showed up again this
fall after being away for some time
(I remember these guys from their time in nqr2
i think) and are playing a solid teamplay with
macler as their starplayer.

Key players are macler and darkaeon.

My tip: Below average.


Suddendeath2
This team looks very strong judging by their
lineup. They are newly formed after suddendeath
having quite alot of members and I don?t really
see many weaknesses in their team. It will be
interesting to see what impact Votary will have
on division2 after playing in the much lower
skilled teams clanBE and chosen since spring
2005.

Key players are Grisling, Vortex, phrenic and
molle.

My tip: Top3.


Oblivion.
After winning div2 last eql many thoght that o
would play in div1 this season. However since
the qualifiers where a great setback for eql
and most games where not played o ended up in
last place for the div1 qualifiers and thus
remaining in div2 for this season. No new players
have arrived for this season except for old o
player score and they lost callen betwen seasons.

Key players are djevulsk and mutilator.

My tip: Top3.


Loser Squadron.
This must be one od the oldest clans to make
a comeback this season after being inactive
(as a team anyway) since around 2000. This
team also have a mix of skilled and less
skilled players and their success will be
decided upon the lineup for each game.

Key players are PreMorteM, TheChosenOne and
TimmI.

My tip: Below average.

Hehe Holkeri H?visitk? Voittos?
Here we have another exciting team with
comebacking players from clans like Slackers
and Paranoia. In this clans case we will also
see their progress being dependant on the
current lineup.

Key players are Goljat and Champ. With a warning-
sign put up for Slebe.

My tip: Top3.


Satanic Slaughter Clan.
Or also known as "We don?t have milton" wich
in this case is true since they lost him to
comebacking tVS in div1. However they have
milton junior aka skisso. Ssc have been a strong
team for many seasons and after dropping from
div1 to div2 they will end up in top3 for sure.

Key players are Skisso, Slaughter and Blob.

My tip: Above average.


Osams.
Osams to me is like an old friend. I have played
versus them since back in the day of nqr2 and
they have had a similar evolution like jokkmokk
however a little slower one. After raping div3
last season in eql they have now moved up to
take on some harder opponents in div2.

Key players are Steppa, Gaz and Lunna. Also here
i would like to raise a warning finger for another
player. Manny is his name and a manny in shape is
a really dangerous force on the field.

My tip: Below average.


Thats all for now and I wish all clans of division2
the best of luck and I will return with reports as
soon as the games begin. /Hooraytio.

#1 Nice written.. i still think [o] will be top3, and one more thing.. our keyplayer is votary ;-)

Yeah i have been given that some thought the last days, and i have decided to change O to top3 and ssc to above average.

Alot of ppl have said this also and i admit that these two teams should change in my predictions.

thnx for commenting
