The team aimed to play in the High division in ETF2L for Season 8, and their first tournament together was ETF2L's 6th Experimental One-Night Highlander Cup. Placed in the High bracket, the team went on to beat Premiership opposition (such as WASP) on the way to victory in the tournament. There were a number of a roster changes after the cup, and during the ensuing season. After a number of departures, [[CeeJaey]] took over leadership, and the team decided a change of name and identity was needed. |
The team were rebranded as 'Strong Opinions' - an ongoing joke that the team's Soldier, [[Raptor]], had a strong opinion on every topic. S-O went on in ETF2L Season 8 High, sealing a playoff spot on the last matchday, but unfortunately losing out in the semi-finals to eventual winners MegaKillerz eSports. This third place result was seen as something to build on for the future. | The team were rebranded as 'Strong Opinions' - an ongoing joke that the team's Soldier, [[Raptor]], had a strong opinion on every topic.

Following Season 8, the team needed a new Heavy, after the loss of [[Sad Panda]]. S-O used UGC Platinum Season 16 as an opportunity to trial new players, and they made playoffs - finishing in 4th place overall. However, this saw [[feeling]] grow tired of Scout, and move to backup on the team. The team still had aspirations of playing in the Premiership division for Season 9, but a recruitment drive was required. [[Thalash]] was brought in on Scout, and following DeutschLAN [[Emilio Estevez]] & [[Stevepander]] joined as Heavy and Pyro respectively. After MegaKillerz eSports folded, their Spy [[Toast]] also joined the ranks, resulting in a full roster. | Following Season 8, the team needed a new Heavy, after the loss of [[Sad Panda]].
