Call of Duty Draft Comp Team Introductions

Introduction

[p]2010 has already seen the unexpected resurgence of Call of Duty 4. Whilst the previous year held no competition of notable worth for the game, 2010 has already seen the One Day Competition and MSi Summer Comp played out where both competitions saw the rise of newly formed teams unexpectedly take out these events and the prizes included. In the One Day Comp, Frenetic Array comfortably secured 1st placed whilst auRa, a previously unheard of team upset the seasoned Qlimax-Crew to take out 2nd position. The MSi Summer Comp presented an interesting complexity, not only did it include these newer sides in terms of both the age of the teams and the point from where the players had started to play the game, it also saw the return of the veterans and in most instances retired CoD4 teams in the form of Team Immunity, [0utKasT], Sequential Gaming & clicK!.[/p][p]It was the results of the MSi Summer Cup that have re-defined which teams and which individuals are perceived as the best. The Grand Final of the Summer Cup saw Archaic Esports accomplish a milestone that no other team had been able to do in three seasons of CGi, and that was to defeat Team Immunity at an online level. In the same competition, Archaic Esports managed to also take down the team most thought to be their main competition, Frenetic Array, and it is for this reason that Archaic Esports are undoubtedly the team to beat, and for their successes in the MSi Summer Cup they are described by many as the best in Australia.[/p][p]Whilst each member of Archaic had played CoD4 actively at some point in the past year, Team Immunity were only given a few weeks to firstly find a 5th player and then attempt to achieve a level of playing ability that can match that of their past. The upcoming CyberGamer Draft Competition provides Team Immunity with a chance for redemption if they are both active and committed.
[/p][p]This is however by no means a two team competition, by the time the competitions start 32 teams will have payed up $50, and especially for the newer mid-range teams they will all be scrimming and practicing hard in an attempt to regain and make on their money. Besides the two favorites, the competitions roster contains very capable teams in the form of GGunit, dEMiZE & resistaNce , all of whom have the capability to push the top teams. I have also conducted basic interviews with 2-3 of the top teams from each group which will be presented over the next few pages which have allowed the team captains to introduce themselves, their teams and discuss how they think the competition will pan out.
[/p][p]It is as always quite important, specifically with this particular competition to recognize the contributions of the Admins and Organizers. In this instance, Sensuki is effectively running all aspects of the competition single handedly (with a minor amount of technical assistance from Asterix) so the success and communal participation that will be found in the competition should be accredited to Sensuki and his administration team.
