Greetings my brothers. I would, but I am busy with other matters. How fares our home?

[Cartman726]

Bump for a top tier unit.

[GaussDragon]

Since Divisions 1-3 in the NA league for RHoD are more or less foregone conclusions, I find Division 4 to be the most interesting division by far. Thoughts?

[Alaric the Arcane]

I've only dropped against Jade Wolf, so I'm gonna go with JW winning that division.

[Lukoi Banacek]

Good crew of people. Dropped against (and pugged with) many a time in NBT-HC.

After talking with KE about their loss to cReddit, it's obvious they're having a lot of trouble fielding all their best players at once. I thought they were a good bet to go toe to toe with Jade Wolf but with their current roster woes, it's unlikely. 2nd place still looks quite contested. With your division, it's basically you and ELP that will move on to the playoffs, with D2 it's us and KDR Squad. D3's second spot looks a little tough to call and D4's is the hardest (that's why I find it the most interesting). If KE gets their **** together, they could beat JW, get their record back on track and either take 1st or 2nd spot.

We'd like to play ELP, but they haven't gotten back to us on scheduling this week, nor have they played their first 2 games.

For division 2 I'm thinking Luna Wolves might be able to take second. Division 3 looks pretty tough at the moment, but I think the WoL team will get the second spot there.

Division 4 just looks like a crap shoot between 3-4 teams.

[Oderint dum Metuant]

Thanks for the bump Kaos, much appreciated.

Division 1 -

Clearly i favour us to progress..duh!
I'd like to say ELP, but as pointed out they have not played any of their games yet which is not a good sign, based on that SoR - TC are looking good, beat up some fake Snow Ravens in week 1 and some goons in week 2 so im gonna shoot for them.

Division 2 -
Luna Wolves and Kaos no doubts in my mind here, i've only seen Luna Wolves a small amount but i like them, seem quite good. Who comes 1st and 2nd in that group is going to come down to the week 5 game between you both.
Smart money is on Kaos and your my first pick, but i think they will give you some good games.

Division 3 -

Black Wolves have had a strong start, but i don't think they have faced anyone of a great calibre i still feel SJR and Word of Lowtax will take the top two spots in this group.

Division 4 -

I actually think this is the toughest group, there are a number of teams in here i like, Jade Wolf, Widowmaker, Blazing Aces, DV8.
Im going to go with Jade Wolf in top spot, 2nd place will be whomever wins out of Widowmaker and BA matchup.

Luna Wolves shows promise, no doubt. However, they soundly lost to KDR in preseason. KDR Squad is comprised of the Goons' best players and they're not pushovers. For spot 2, it basically comes down to who wins between LW and KDR, unless Luna Wolves beat us, though odds say between mutual opponents, they shouldn't beat us.

As for D4, it's definitely Jade Wolf's to lose unless BA beats them. If we could spectate games, I suspect that'd be a good one to watch. I'd be rooting for BA since I can't stand Jade Wolf

KDR sounds like a team i want to play some games against then.
RIght on the money for D4, it'll be interesting to see the outcome, and i hear you on spectating!

From what I know of the teams in RHoD, I'd put them in the top 5 overall.

Hmm interesting, i think i can guess the top 5, which order is more difficult and subjective!

[Alaric the Arcane]

Hmm... can't wait for private matches

On avg, how often would you say you guys drop together on TS? Spectre's Ravens avg like 1 a month, but that will change when CW is implemented. If it is fairly regular, i would like to drop with CSR.

There are people around on most days of the week, we do play other games as well as MWO though, you'll usually find people around playing MWO during the NA evenings.
We're looking for committed people though, not just to be someone friends with benefits so if your heart is with Spectre's Ravens and you intend to play with them for Clan Wars, we are unlikely to be the people for you.

In other news, we've concluded Week 3 of Run Hot or Die tournament in good shape, beating current champions Eridani Light Pony 3 -1, as always tough games with ELP and they are a great bunch of guys.

That win leaves us undefeated in Division 1 and with 9 points at the summit of the table, which can be seen here (once updated by the organiser)

Next week we play both Paragon and Word of Lowtax

As above still looking for more committed and skilled NA players.

[Ravn]

I've never heard of RHOD or NA.

Edit: I'll be deploying soon, but I would like to start playing competitively.

Courtesy bump for a top notch team!

Great match tonight, guys!

Looking forward to those post-season scrims.

DV, Ran into your guys tonight. They told me to tell you F*ck you. You are not the boss of them.
