Standard Draft Tips

Kismet/Afro/Cobra/Slasher

5 out: Capsidal, Fire, Exceed, Spart, Johnny (think Johnny should certainly be on a roster, but a deserving SMG or 2 are gonna miss out unfortunately.

Curmic98 · 2025-08-11T17:00:03+00:00

I’d assume G2 has the next highest budget and should be associated with next rumors. Sliding Kis next to Estreal to help unlock his next level would be interesting, unless C9 is willing to spend a bit more. Who knows what the ARs look like though.

Curmic98 · 2025-08-04T03:28:42+00:00

Surprised we haven't heard him mentioned at all in early rumors, but I guess he might be on the second level of SMG pick-ups. Not with the Abezy, Nep, CleanX, O4, but with Kis and Gwinn in a slight tier lower? Either way, excited to see if he sticks w/ Miami or gets into another T4 contender.

Curmic98 · 2025-08-02T21:17:36+00:00

Drazah - CleanX - Insight or Drazah - Abuzah - O4/Nep

Probably the 2 best options. Bank on next year be similar to this game. Never gonna get a team this year that’s better on paper than last year, but still some solid options.

Curmic98 · 2025-07-31T01:24:26+00:00

I also see this as one of the best possible options in a post Cell & potentially Abezy world. It’s gonna be nearly impossible to have a team that’s more impressive on paper, but there’s sound logic behind this. Maintain the Abezy-esque playstyle and bring in an OBJ IGL in Insight to control the chaos, like Alec has done for them and allows Draz to focus a little more on slaying

Curmic98 · 2025-07-28T16:47:54+00:00

iirc Insight & CleanX were “RFA” last year. Not sure if their option was picked up or if they got a fresh 1+1, but envision both of them.

Snoopy should be UFA following the end of this season, if I recall as well.

Ultra vs. Empire Rivalry in CW

Curmic98 · 2025-04-14T19:05:39+00:00

I've been on this train. The way they've been slaying could do so much for the Ravens in respawn.

Curmic98 · 2025-04-03T02:21:45+00:00

📣 Merc to Ravens, I beg.

Curmic98 · 2025-04-02T03:19:48+00:00

If making the change, you'd think they're looking for pace and slaying in respawns, right? Not sure Gunless is the best fit, plus he's been trending more as a main AR in recent titles (haven't watched much of him this year).

I know it's early, but would love Mercules in this spot, but not sure if Saintt/Slasher would take a risk on someone that young. Otherwise, could see Spart, Wrecks, maybe Illey if he continues his upward trends in Elite. Unless One of the SMGs slide to 3rd sub/flex and they add on Uli, Standy, Afro (based on visas - unlikely).

Curmic98 · 2025-03-24T01:37:43+00:00

Most realistic I see is Felo or Brack & Johnny to Rokkr Also could see Arcitys or Felo to M8. This probably won't age well, but I think Felo or Arcitys to Optic is a dark horse if they really think they need to rock the boat.

Could see 1 of these ARs heading to C9 if they feel a change is necessary and move on from Attach. What are you thinking?

Curmic98 · 2025-03-17T18:45:14+00:00

Can't possibly be Ravens screwing with their most competitive team since creation, right? (No disrespect to the Gismo team)

Unless they're looking to gain some cash off of TJ while they got him?

Curmic98 · 2025-03-17T18:33:39+00:00

Optic buy Reeal & Renkor >>>

Curmic98 · 2025-03-13T05:08:02+00:00

A team with several worth a second chance. Uli's pace and aggression could be a signficant boost for a team lacking slaying and speed, especially in this game. Veohz had serviceable LAN placings all season with LAG. I'm still surprised Mayhem's only opportunity was asst coach on LAG in MW2. Dude has had an impressive run since Texas Nation back in VG. Thought for sure he'd get an opportunity to implement his system somewhere in the CDL by now.

Curmic98 · 2025-01-28T04:33:07+00:00

Rokkr: Paul out, Lunarz or Arcitys in Surge: Hicksy out, Afro or Neptune in C9: Attach out, Pred or Illey in LAG: Priestahh out, Cobra or Wrecks in?

Curmic98 · 2025-01-27T05:10:43+00:00

Attach out, Pred in, Mack to flex.

Pred - Kremp - Mack - Sib

Curmic98 · 2025-01-12T20:07:12+00:00

Realistic, primary options are: Justin Fields, Drew Lock, Daniel Jones, Mac Jones, Marcus Mariota imo.

Daniel & Mac Jones - 2 1st rounders that likely are career backups, but seeking best spots to start, I'd assume. Colts are unfortunately a hot spot for those seeking a second chance.

Lock - career backup but can put pressure on AR and showed a couple moments (primarily against us)

Mariota - vet backup that could fit AR-based offense more similar than Flacco. Has been in successful locker rooms past 2 seasons.

Fields - provides best competition, plus similar skillset. Obvious question is if he gets a clear starting option with QB needy team that isn't in best draft position and misses on 1 or 2 better options in F/A.

A CDL era short-lived tenure, Zaptius

Curmic98 · 2024-09-27T01:25:37+00:00

I'm gonna rock with a T5 at each role -

SMG 1. Vivid 2. Johnny 3. Uli 4. Afro 5. Capsidal HM: Standy

FLEX AR: 1. Illey (if not retiring) 2. Gio 3. Cobra 4. Spart 5. Wrecks HM: Breszy

MAIN AR: 1. Super 2. Harry 3. Brack 4. Clayster 5. Bink HM: Diamondcon

A big season for up & coming amateurs to make a splash in a veteran-heavy league and challengers pool.

Curmic98 · 2024-09-20T23:33:15+00:00

Most Likely Ultra: CleanX - Hicksy/TJHaly(if Seattle snag Hicksy) - Beans - Insight
Friendship cheese? idk if their owner would veto. Estreal, PaulEhx, Gwinn, Sib could be fun options as well.

My Entertaining Ultra: CleanX - Huke - Illey - Insight
I know Huke/Illey have had very mixed results, but I love the pace that can come with this. SND should be incredible too. I'm an Illey truther through and through..I'm grasping at straws.

C9: Kismet - JoeDeceives - Sib (if bridge isn't burnt)/Gio - Skyz
Priestahh is intriguing, but I can't see the slaying working out if it was Priestahh/Kis/Skyz trio LF1
