Teams
High Rollers Gaming (16-0)
Roster | |
---|---|
Scout | cyzer |
Scout | shrugger |
Roamer | Taggerung |
lansky | |
Demoman | b4nny |
Medic | shade |
The HRG roster remained unchanged after their unbeaten run in Season 13. They were considered heavy favourites going into LAN as the team went unbeaten yet again in the regular season, dropping only 15 rounds in 16 games.
tri hards (14-2)
Roster | |
---|---|
Scout | clockwork |
Scout | boomer |
Roamer | blaze |
tri | |
Demoman | dummy |
Medic | kbk |
This team is a continuation of sorts of the Season 13 Chess Club squad. After Don't Trip's demise in Season 13, the team picked up clockwork on Scout and blaze on Roaming Soldier. tri hards lost only to HRG over the course of the regular season. There was controversy over dummy's Demoman spot, as the tri hards squad apparently refused to scrim with him, due to his tendency to rage. He did not attend LAN. Instead boomer moved from Scout to Demo and Hero, who had been backing up through out the season took boomers place on Scout.

Scout | enigma |
Scout | mo0se |
Roamer | harbleu |

Season 14 saw yet another overhaul of the Mixup squad, as Yz50 and Ruwin left the team. enigma moved back from Roaming Soldier to Scout, and his scouting partner of seasons old mo0se return to fill the spot. After a long period of playing Demoman, Platinum moved back to his old main - Pocket Soldier. harbleu also went back to play Soldier, picking up the Gunboats yet again.

Known in the previous season as Fully Torqued, Top Guns struggled with roster issues. Their previous medic, TheFragile, couldn't play the season. After justin's departure, the team picked up carnage, but he left due to clashes in personality despite playing well.
