Well the community has gotten what it's asked for and that is State of Origin! All information regarding this competition can be found
here. This looks to be a pretty good note to end on the terrible game that is Black Ops. Now onto some predictions.
Team Overview
Team
To be honest they don't have a spectacular roster like the other states, with a good player in Fallen I think he'll provide some much needed support. I don't think this team will make the Grand Final but I think they'll be able to take quite a few rounds of the other teams.
Team
This is going to be one of the main contenders of the competition, lead by Skitch I think they can go far. The team has some great players, lets wait and see whether or not they can gel together and see how far they go!
Team
My good friend Bundy is in the team, so sadly All Stars won't win a game, moving on. But to be honest the 3 states that encompass the All Stars team don't home many quality players so the team will have to work with what they have, with Delish as their leader I'm sure they'll be able to pull a few rounds.
Team
This team has some good players in Lilypad and ML219, it'll be interesting to see what other players Ml picks up for this team. I think this team can go far if they pick up the right players.
Team
Already this team has some talented players in it, with the 7 players already in the team I can see this team making the Grand Final, with a great leader in Wild I'm sure they will come close in doing so!
Team
This team has a couple of quality players, if this team generates some chemistry between themselves I can see them going far in this competition.
Conclusion
Not much can be said individually about each state but It's pretty obvious and also logical that the highly populated states have a good chance of winning as they have a better variety of players to choose from, so lets see if the selected captains can capitalise on this and select the best rosters possible. I also see team chemistry playing a big role in this competition, Captains need to not only select the best solo players but also team players, while also making sure the players get along with one another.
Like previously stated this looks to be a pretty good note to end on Black Ops! Hopefully we see some awesome games being played and maybe a shoutcast or highlight video may sneak in between the games being played!
Post your thoughts on the selected teams so far and also predictions below! Will edit this thread or post another thread later on closer to match time with each round by round predictions.
I'm out.
