Bricked UP

dougski, myLo, 1ShoT, dirty_german, polo

Bricked Up head into LAN 3 as the back-to-back champions, the two-time. The final boss. 

LAN 1 wasn’t exactly a clean march to the title. They had to work their way through a grueling loser’s bracket and earn it the hard way. But LAN 2, though, was a completely different event for them. They went through the entire event without dropping a single map. That’s pretty disgusting when you look at the talent there.

They’re also the only five-man roster to remain completely untouched since LAN 1, which, in this community, might honestly be a bigger accomplishment than winning twice. It’s slim pickings when it comes to teams surviving the inevitable post-LAN shuffle, and Bricked still stand alone at the top of the mountain. If a 3-peat is on the menu, you can bet your ass they either retire on top or run it back together.

Their success can ultimately be traced back to Doug’s Sun Tzu’s Art of CoD2 teachings: win your 1v1s, know your nades, and something along the lines of “do not be a fucking pussy.” These timeless pieces of wisdom have since echoed through the community, inspiring dozens of teams to, at the very least, stop being so fucking bad. It changed the way teams prepare and has elevated the NA scene to possibly be able to compete with EU in the near future.

Their biggest hurdle this time around has been Polo’s dedication to keeping his family afloat amidst a three-peat attempt. Granted, he is, according to me, the best off-the-couch player this game has ever seen. But he’s been around sparingly throughout the season and over the last eight months. Every missed scrim is just another brownie point thrown into the jar, ready to be cashed in come LAN time. His clipped performance at LAN 1 on Dawnville against X6 remains one of the best clips in recent memory, and no one can argue that this man, on a default config, is just a force of nature that is larger than life.

1Shot has been training his constitution by pulling 14-hour all-nighters in PoE for the last couple of months, so you can bet he’s ready for a lower-bracket run if they need one. Joey is both the standard and the ceiling for shotties. His timings, his nades, his controlled aggression, and ultimately his “fuck this, I’m going in” attitude all read like something straight out of the Dougie playbook. But the funny part is that Joe has always played this way. He honed his skills and routes playing EU on Sunday afternoons, and the result is pretty obvious: he’s produced an incredible number of copycats over the years. Real recognize real, and Joey is a real one in every sense of the word. He terrorizes opponents and makes it look effortless.

Doug is playing as much as he can muster up before his soon-to-be marriage officially throws a wrench into his gaming endeavours. And with the way he stepped up at LAN 2 to cover for Mark’s damp-mousepad issues throughout the bracket, you can bet your ass, with MoneyBags Panther if you so wish, that Doug will shine once again as a ferocious leader and relentless berater. He is arguably the best mechanical player in the server, but although, with a star-studded lineup like Bricked has, no one necessarily needs to individually take over for them to win convincingly.

Mylo’s shoulder apparently feels fine as he’s a regular in an old men support group that plays darts and eats cheesesteaks on Wednesdays. When he’s not drafting for his fantasy leagues during scrims, he is not only one of the best scopes in the game, but also a stable, confident, problem-solving presence to support his teammates. Many scopes today have used Mylo as a blueprint to play the game at the highest level, and whether or not he figures out how to stop his mousepad from getting soaked with sweat, he will always have a positive impact in the server

And you have DG being DG, one of many household names in CoD2, and surprisingly, still one of the most dangerous players on the roster. If he can copy-paste what he did at LAN 2, it starts being just plain scary for the other teams to deal with. The man abuses the fact that there are simply too many bullets in stock on every gun, and whether he’s spamming smoke A alley like he’s abusing Nvidia Inspector, or simply preventing you from even peeking connector on Burgundy, the man will lead LAN in smoke headshots guaranteed. With an incredible performance on Matmata in the last LAN finals, everyone can just keep asking themselves, ‘When is this motherfucker gonna finally retire’.

It’s hard to roast these guys when all they’ve done, when it mattered most, is win. Even when they look down and out, it never really feels that way. Every round is another opportunity, and LAN 3 should be their hardest test yet, considering teams have spent months planning around their playstyle, tendencies, and setups.

The two-time champs are on their quest for the 3-peat, and the rest of us are just bystanders ready to witness history.

Sedated

telly, wiLLzki, zondo, nilla, reflex

Sedated, or whatever they choose to name themselves come LAN time, come into Group B as the second seed and probably the closest thing to a dark horse that isn’t actually a dark horse.

Calling them underdogs feels wrong. Partly because they’re a well-oiled machine that has a habit of suffocating the hope out of almost every team they play, but mostly because they’ve kept the same core together for the better part of the last year and a half.

They had an unexpectedly strong showing in Dallas that earned them second place, but LAN 2 was a different story. According to them, they were basically playing 4v5. It was a confusing time for the X6/Sedated boys, who couldn’t understand why they were winning convincingly online but failing to reproduce those results on LAN.

Then the light of truth was shone. The warranted witch hunt produced convincing results, and Trizzy Troy Tanaka was given the boot for a year for cheating online.

The post-LAN tremor was a tumultuous one. Lex eventually left over a lack of “fire,” but ultimately, the team was doomed before LAN 2 even started. It wasn’t really Sedated’s fault. They were victims of circumstance, and trust was broken in more ways than one.

But this isn’t a sob story. As much as Sedated love giving puppy eyes and screaming “injustice” at every turn, they’re also men who do what needs to be done. They searched, scavenged and, at times, seemed willing to take just about any able-bodied human available. But props have to be given when the end result is a roster worth talking about.

Zondo can frag out when he isn’t tunnel-visioned on typing f-slurs in game chat. The man has a wealth of experience and complete confidence in his shot, where on certain maps, he’ll just decimate anyone who comes his way. More often than not, South is closed on Carentan, forcing his opponent’s hand, and redirecting them towards his more-than-capable teammates.

Willzki has the best individual statistical line across both LANs. That’s not nothing. He is, in short(gotem), the most statistically accomplished individual LAN player in the field. Say what you want about this guy, his ego is through the roof, but by God can he back it up. There is no one you’d rather have in a clutch on any map at any stage of the match. Wherever he is, you have to ultimately nade him off, or run for the hills. 

Telly has mastered CoD2 mechanics, jiggle-peeks like an anxious poodle, and uses his ridiculous sensitivity and movement to occasionally take over entire servers. Get a gun in his hand and he is, simply put, a menace. Widely known as Will’s pet labrador, you can bet your ass that if Sedated don’t make the finals, the captain will have his dog back in the kennel before he can say ‘Who called cap that?’.

And then there are the youngins.

Reflex was the best-performing player from a mid-tier team at LAN 2 and is widely regarded as one of the best players CoD4 has had to offer. You know what to expect from him now, and nobody is going to underestimate him again after that LANimal performance in Columbus. EU smoke has arguably nerfed him, but only enough to keep the game remotely playable for everyone else. He’s another high-sens gamer who can pull clutches out of nowhere and plays the game with a real understanding of pressure and positioning. If Sedated can create space on the map, you can bet your ass Lewis will be creeping somewhere on the opposite side, ready to make his opponents bicker and swear at each other after the inevitable flank.

And Nilla. Sweet young Nilla.

Apart from a few cracks in confidence during his time on Awakening, especially on round 1 of game 1 at LAN 2, he has established himself as a LAN beast. From his LAN beginnings with High Noon to carrying Awakening through more than one tough match, his performances are almost clockwork, with occasional brilliant peaks on his favorite maps. Whether that gets hindered or elevated by Sedated is still to be decided. But the core finally found its star scope, and Willzki has most likely already molded him into another perfectly functioning cog in the system.

All in all, hate them or love them, these guys have been the epitome of dedication since they first hit the scene before LAN 1. Without them, the scene looks very different, much less competitive and probably a lot less fun.

It’s been a wild ride, but they deserve credit for sticking with it, rebuilding and somehow arriving at LAN 3 with one of the scarier rosters in the field. They match up well against the top teams and usually take care of mid-tier threats without too much trouble, which says a lot about how strong their system actually is.

I can easily see all of that prep carrying them deep into Sunday and producing some of the best matches of the weekend.

Ultimately, CoD2 enthusiasts win by getting to watch them play.

BEAST

wrenches, neo, magic, vic, dallas

I’m glad I postponed writing for this team for so long. The return on investment was great.

A week before Columbus, Xlzz just said “Fuck Neo” and dipped out. Without their psychological leader, and with a talented but unpracticed Dallas coming in for him, Beast stock has dropped considerably. Magic has given us even further inkling that he might dodge, and Wrenches has become even more unhinged, spam-queuing SSBM looking for another dirty and sweaty LAN to replace this dirty and sweaty LAN.

Beast enter LAN 3 cosplaying as a remake of their B44 squad ‘Primal’. The CoD4 enthusiasts assembled a talented roster from the remaining fragments of Awakening and added Vic, Wrenches and Magic.

Vic doesn’t have much CoD2 experience, but he’s no stranger to FPS games. To be fair, they’ve also plugged him on shotgun, so his impact, negative or positive, should be somewhat minimized. The Canuck also comes in with very little pressure. People know what his ceiling looks like, but nobody necessarily expects him to hit it this early in his CoD2 journey. He should be able to play loose, carry his weight, and let the rest come naturally.

Say what you want about Neo, like, fuck him, but a smart man he is and remains. With Xlzz gone, he becomes the de facto leader. Not necessarily the leader they want, but the only one they have. Losing Mike a week before LAN is a rough start, but if you know anything about these men outside the server, they thrive in depravity.

Beast as a team, are aggressive, loose, and generally not the kind of squad you want to play on LAN. They’ll test you at every turn. But if they’re not hitting their shots, it’s hard to find something to fall back on when your entire mojo is chaos.

Wrenches lacks any real concept of consequentiality, inside or outside the server. Sometimes the strategy really is just to run at you and reload-glitch every corner like he’s hired from Fiverr specifically to farm frag clips.

Magic will most likely not play perfectly, but according to pretty much everyone, he’ll probably play LESS perfectly than he does online. Another accused gamer, another victim of his own skill, and a grim history with admins in the past. But Tanaka cleared him, so naturally we should all look the other way. Have a great lan Magic buddy, you’ve earned it.

Neo will continue doing Neo things. Honestly, fuck that guy. His greatest moments probably came in the LAN 1 play-ins, where he was dropping 4Ks, getting sucked dry by Trump and Doug for his German Dawnville performance, and playing like he had a $1,000 bet with John “Panther” Disantis on the line.

Lest we forget, he also proved to everyone that a pistol apparently has a better chance of killing at point-blank range than the NA shotty. And the rest, ladies and gentlemen, is history. That round-losing halo single-handedly changed the course of NA CoD2 shotgun history. The shotgun union should either have Neo on its T-shirts as the poster boy or burn him at the stake for forcing our hand into the shadowy world of EU settings.

Dallas is more of an unknown entity to me. Other than the occasional PUG back when PUGs were actually playable and not reserved for the mentally challenged, I haven’t seen enough of him in CoD2 to know exactly what to expect. Still, he fits the Beast profile perfectly: one of the top CoD4 players, a good mind for the game, and, most importantly, he openly hates CoD2.

I’m not sure how the fit will look like in the server, but all these guys are friends and seem to respect/disrespect each other in roughly equal measure.

Beast stock has definitely lost value over the last few days, but their upset potential hasn’t really changed. Xlzz brought some predictability to the unpredictability. Now the water just gets even muddier with what to expect.

RATS

everestt, kkz, superman, kevlar, cpt.miller

Rats land in Columbus scavenging for a result similar to the Nemesis LAN 2 roster.

With Everestt being the only returning member from that 5th-6th place finish Nemesis squad, he brings in the veterans who couldn’t make it to Columbus last time: Chuck, aka Cpt. Miller, Kkz, and the Pooperman himself, Superman.

The boys bring a ridiculous amount of competitive experience, even if half those hours were spent in the based Outlaw server. They have an assortment of MP44 and MG players that sometimes make you question whether using a rifle is even worth it in the first place. And with the MG buff in full effect on LAN, there’s no reason to underestimate this team.

These guys get the LAN buff for multiple reasons. Registration, sure. But more importantly, the calm and confidence that come with knowing that, worst comes to worst, you’re still playing a 21-year-old game with absolutely no pressure and we’re all losers anyway.

The Kkz and Pooperman duo are as effective in the server as they are in their daily Slay the Spire co-op runs. They apparently burn through all available brainpower calculating card synergies, then load up CoD2 and run mercilessly at people with no care in the world. Kkz brings some solid set roof smokes from his time on Plus Forward and looks to rebuild his name at LAN 2, after his LAN 1 relegation to meat shield with a smoke grenade, for a team of PUG stars running around the map doing whatever the fuck they wanted.

Chuck, as an anchor 44, is also a real threat, and his presence in the server is larger than life. His leadership and nades are essential to this team’s success. The man missed LAN 2 for good reason: his wedding. Now he steps into Columbus with the kind of rage state only a married man can truly muster, ready to once again prove that “these guys fucking suck,” which has basically become his trademark line.

Superman is basically the opposite. He’s the cheerleader, the vibe captain, and a man who consistently dead-nades to compensate for the fact that he has virtually no set nades. If you die to a Superman nade, you might as well call it and head straight to the bar. He probably won’t need dinner either, because he’ll spend most rounds eating nades anyway. But when Greg actually survives past the first 20 seconds, he’s a force of nature. With absolutely no care in the world, he’ll headshot you across the map with a Tommy and keep taking space with no care in the world.

Rats only returning piece from LAN 2 is Billy, and Everestt, as the only stable rifle on the team, carries a little extra pressure to perform in fights that simply can’t be won by anyone else. With no more excuses about /played time in CoD2 and nowhere to blame the server once LAN ping kicks in, Columbus could bring out either the best or the absolute worst in Billy. With nowhere left to redirect blame, pointing fingers in every direction is no longer an option. But to his credit, Billy has worked thoroughly on his game. He has a better feel for the flow of a map, takes space well, and can open things up for his boys with a wide assortment of clutch set nades. He has the ability to take over a game, and they’re going to need that version of him if they want to avoid the play-ins.

And our resident GoTN regular caster, Kevlar, comes in after putting more hours into casting than working an actual job over the last year. He’s adjusted to scoping and now plans on finally destroying people online with a non-disadvantageous ping. As a past member of Empyrean, Kevlar is still infected by the brain disease that plagues the present X-Faded squad. Very peaky. Impatient. And a little reckless. But that can work to your advantage in some situations and Kevin is ecstatic at the opportunity to scope his way to a playoff bracket.

Everestt and Kevlar seem to feed off registration issues and amp themselves up over them consistently, while the older guys just play the fucking game.

Their map pool is solid, but they need to avoid the play-ins at all costs, as Pooperman turns into a pumpkin after 11 p.m., much like Eric.

It’s the dark side of the Dad Buff.

X-Faded

redz, tox, trauma, zexi, athn

The team of morally questionable human beings. The friends that went rogue. The remnants of a possible dynasty that never got to see the light of day.

After a swift exit from Spawn X, Tox and Trauma teamed up with our resident Tweeterman, Redz, to assemble a squad that treats thinking as optional. With Zexi and Athn coming over from a disbanded Goons, this became a genuine team of friends with aspirations of having fun playing the game.

With IQ in short supply, this collection of high-variance fraggers is either a complete hot mess or turning the server into their playground. The predictability of their unpredictability can always become a problem, but worst comes to worst, they’ll ultimately end up at the bar or outside delaying the schedule as much as humanly possible with untimely smoke breaks.

Tox the Rat does what he’s known for. He chews on wires and scurries around the map looking for his next dopamine hit. Nading for himself enables him to take over maps solo, and that’s a massively underrated aspect of the Rat King’s game. His team benefits from the psychological damage he inflicts without him even trying.

Trauma has ridiculous aim, and if he’s in the right place at the right time, he can take over individual rounds without a care in the world. The problem is that he graduated from the UP School of Planting and is legitimately allergic to planting the bomb, and most probably isn’t winning a clutch if the enemy simply refuses to give him an opening. But the skill remains, and if he can feel out a map and enter flow state, he becomes an absolute terror.

After a solid LAN 2 individually, but with clearly poor team results, Athn is either coming in to exorcise the ghosts of Goons or simply not caring and drinking himself to a pulp. You never really know what Athn is doing. Athn himself probably doesn’t know what he’s doing. But he’s another feel player, like most of this team, and when things are going right and his timing is on point, he’s the hammer and his opponents are the nail.

Zexi, pronounced Zexski, is also looking to redeem his LAN 2 performance. Goons won their first match and then proceeded to lose every single map afterwards, so he’ll need to approach the exhausting Saturday with a steady level of energy from start to finish. He’s a streaky rifler who can look unstoppable when his shots are hitting and his timing is on point, but he suffers from the same downside inherently built into this roster.

Variance is a bitch.

When they’re on, they’re on. When they’re off, they might as well head outside and smoke and drink themselves half to death.

And last but not least, Tweeterman himself, Redz, the brain and leader of this squad of vagabonds. Nobody knows these guys better inside the server than Redz, and he’s the chosen one tasked with leading them to the promised land that is Day 2. His style enables his teammates, and his routes are often dictated by what the rest of them are trying to accomplish. And if all else fails, he goes full retard, which remains a genuinely effective strategy in Call of Duty 2. His impact was very noticeable at the last LAN with Empyrean, and there’s no reason he shouldn’t receive the Dad Buff again in Columbus.

Look for this team to make noise and potentially upset a higher-seeded team in an absolute nail-biter.

Also look for them to inexplicably drop a map to Elevate or wCw somewhere along the way, just in time to make their inevitable play-in match as entertaining as humanly possible.

If Trauma isn’t too wasted by then, and Tox can recover a few brain cells after eating a pack of nuts during the break, they have every opportunity to make it through the play-ins and arrive at what should be their expected destination: the playoff bracket.

Mutiny

panther, cruizer, loose, broa, Mikey

You know what, these guys would probably be community sweethearts if they weren’t harbouring the most annoying presence in #cod2-disc. They’re still lovable despite that, which should tell you how much everyone genuinely likes the other 80% of Mutiny.

Honestly, they’re a solid team on paper. They’ve swapped Prides for Mikey, essentially just rotating baiting scopes, and Broa remains the loose cannon that probably needs to be set free for this team to really work.

They have a good arsenal of nades, efficient playstyles on certain maps, and a map pool that gives them legitimate upset potential in both BO1s and BO3s. Compared to teams like Cal-AC or even X-Faded, I’d argue they have some of the strongest BO1 potential amongst the mid-tier behind Rats and UP.

They shouldn’t just be in the playoff conversation. They can actually get there.

And that’s where the praise ends.

The added pressure Panther puts on this team, pressure he can’t exactly carry by himself, is where the ship starts taking on water. We know Panther can play serviceably under pressure, occasionally even well, but when he drags the rest of the team into the full Panther Experience of ‘Me vs The World’, and their names aren’t Zack, Shell and Brian, the results tend to look a little different.

Loose has quietly progressed past being just serviceable over the last few months. He’s got heat-seeking nades, a pretty respectable bolt-action rifle when he gets the chance to use it, and his routes fit the team well. More importantly, the man has actually been putting in the work, both on and off the server. I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised by him.

Cruizer is still trying to fully find himself in the rifle role. Whether drinking is part of the problem or the solution remains an ongoing philosophical debate in the Mutiny Discord. Still, with the amount of experience on this team, it’s hard to assume negatively of Mike going into Columbus. Unless the beer tap is fully flowing, he should be his usual self: making smart plays around the map and confidently closing out rounds.

Mikey is probably the biggest X factor. First, nobody even seems completely sure he’s showing up, which will be a happy surprise either way depending on who you ask. And if he does, we probably won’t know what version of him Mutiny gets until Saturday afternoon when the do-or-die games start. He has some strong baiting shoes to fill with Prides gone, but he’s shown plenty of times with Farmers that he can comfortably carry a team. The fact that he doesn’t have to operate with as much intelligence, and can mostly play his own game, might actually be a positive for both him and Mutiny.

And then there’s Panther.

Panther has talked an extraordinary amount of shit leading into LAN 3. Arguably even more than LAN 2, where his fragging contribution was relatively small and most of the actual pressure fell onto his teammates. Now that he’s off shotgun, he’s made enough wild claims that there simply isn’t enough space in this article to state them all.

What we do know is that pretty much everyone wants to see him fail. That’s just how it works. The more confident you are, the more shit you talk, the more people want to watch your whole world collapse. And to Panther’s credit, he’s already done a pretty good job preparing the post-LAN talking points if it does. Age. Questionable teammates. A roster potentially more interested in the amount of its bar tab than its amount of rounds won.

It’s a beautiful little loophole.

The shit talk is welcome, though. Panther has even seemed slightly more human and less brain-dead lately, probably because everyone becomes suspiciously nice and normal in the week leading up to LAN.

But underneath all of that, Mutiny are legitimately dangerous. Their map pool is good, they have enough experience to survive ugly games, and if Broa is loose, Mikey is fragging, Cruizer is steady, Loose keeps nading the shit out of people, and Panther manages to carry even half of what he claims, this team absolutely has a Day 2 ceiling.

The only question is whether all five cylinders ever fire at the same time.

eLevated

adept, nytrous, brutaL, abK, birdman

The 274th adept roster come into LAN3 as eLevated. They’ll be in a tight race with mut!ny, wCw, and potentially rats to see who comes out of that rat race alive. Each of the adept renditions have made it to play-ins, and undoubtedly that will be the aim for this core as well. Bringing on veteran Birdman, and Kernelman abK on the shotty, the team have potential, but something to prove.

adept – A staple in the cod2 community since the first revival, the man has seen plenty of rosters. He’s inevitably played with more people in the current community than anyone else, and is always willing and able to adapt to the situation. We’ve seen him on scope, we’ve even seen him on the shotgun for 2 days. However, he’ll likely be playing one of his strongest roles, and the team is going to need him to frag out. A player with a high ceiling, if he is able to find that level consistently, he’s always a threat to steal a map off a so-called stronger team. And this group will need a performance or two like that this weekend.

nytrous – Don’t be fooled by the quiet, calm demeanor of this man. On his day in the server, this man’s bolt fires. Although he wasn’t present at LAN2, he made his cod2 LAN debut in dallas last year alongside his teammate brutal with FocusUp. Later, he continued to make a name for himself on the broa roster +vibe. LAN3 gives him an opportunity to showcase his abilities on the big stage (lizard)

brutaL – This man is one of the more underrated scopes on the scene. He’s flipped around a few rosters, but ultimately has made his way back with his OG adept once again for LAN3. If he isn’t messing with his sens, or blaming hitmarkers, the guy is an accurate scope who I expect to make a splash this weekend.

abK – The kernelman himself will be in between jobs this weekend. The newest member of the shotgun union, there have been the early role trials and tribulations. That said, he’s been settling in his role well and ready to make an impact. If he can avoid being distracted by catching loser cheaters on a daily basis, his in game play will follow. eLe will need a big weekend from him.

Birdman – the final addition of this roster was an unexpected one, but a very good one. We thought we were briefly going to lose him at the event after his stint with Ultra went awry, but he is here and ready to go. Another man with multiple jobs this weekend, we expect to see a lot of him in the booth in the morning. Unfortunately for him, that likely means we won’t be able to feed him 420 beers, as he’ll need some sense of stability for the night group matches. A man loaded with experience, it’s a huge pickup for this core. The moment will not be too big for him, and he’ll also be free of the shotgun curse. I’m excited to see his performance this weekend

wCw

tipzy, carbs, calypso, cjk, whitesox

well, well, well. The last pug that came though in the final hours has graced us with a few legends. While the goals for this group may not be lofty, expect for them to come in and fight for what they can get. Kudos to tipzy for getting our 15th squad together to compete this weekend in Columbus (assuming whitesox makes it (which is a big assumption))

carbs – First, an actual legend, carbs, CS coach extraordinaire; graces us with his presence again with the last minute announcement. Joining us again after a commendable LAN2 performance with a pure pug, he’ll mostly be here to have a good time. But a man like this with oodles of cross fps experience, expect the moment to not get to him, and even to exceed despite having not played much cod2.

tipzy – Once again, kudos for getting this roster together. Tipzy is player who can make a difference, especially in some of the matches this team will need him most. If we’re being fair, most of the question marks will center around the rest of the team, how much they care (or lack thereof) and how they can support their captain. It won’t be for a lack of his effort, the man with arguably the most hours in the server in all of North America will be called upon for some big performances for them to have a chance to make noise.

whitesox – Well, this is the ultimate question mark. Despite repeatedly telling us whitesox will be in attendance, the books still have this man as most likely to dodge. Will he show up? We have no idea. And if he does show up, what will we get? Also no idea. The ultimate enigma going into Columbus is here, and we are going to get (or not) what we get.

calypso – After a brief stint on eLe, calY finds himself a home on wCw, when it was doubtful that we would make it for a little while. Another new addition to the union, wCw will need their shotgun to hit more smokes than jocco, and provide some artillery assistance to move forward in this tournament. He’ll have to hit his shots, take his opportunities, and win some close rounds.

cjk – A bit of an enigma, the man exploded onto the scene a few months ago and has now played just under 400 pugs in that short amount of time. I respect the grind, and am excited to see what that can amount to over the weekend. He’ll have his opportunity to shine this weekend, and if he’s able to make a splash, that kind of volume will make him an intriguing Free Agent acquisition post LAN 3. The man has also been seen talking golf in the UP discord, for better or for worse
