A familiar-looking group of players come together once more to form a squad that looks like it's going to be much more active this season. Time spent in-game together could have this squad looking dangerous come playoff time. Apollo and Mecca are reunited, these guys have been leading squads together as long as I can remember. With the pick-ups of Torch, Mercy, and Kevin, they have alleviated concern about inactivity throughout the rest of the roster. I expect to see a lot of Vince Carter this season as well, he's fairly active during the week, and easily good enough to crack the lineup. The question marks are the power duo of Stavudine and Lana Del Rey. I've seen these players join squads in recent seasons and end up largely inactive, or not participate in the season at all. Plenty of vocal players, and an active enough core means the league should have high expectations for this squad. The only thing they need to watch out for is creeping inactivity, or getting tilted if handed a loss on week 1 by a tough schedule. Player(s) to watch: Torch and Mercy. I think both of these guys are more than capable of being plugged into the starting lineup and stepping up. They don't crack the starting lineup on paper, but I have no doubt that their services will be called upon this season more than once. Deepest bench in the league? Starting lineup (if all active) Vince Carter (med) Lana Del Rey (med) Apollo Black Stavudine Mizzouse Tactical Kevin

👥 Player Notes

Aerith

I hear this guy is a legend at medic, and former USL administrator with a good reputation during his tenure. Never seen him in action, could be ready to drop a 5000hpg season on our headz

Tactical

Ernie is just a solid all-around fighter. When he is in the game, his team is noticeably better than without him. Will he actually show up to all of his games, as the captain? Probably.

Vince Carter

Should start at medic. Squad will reach it's maximum potential if he shows up to every game.

Mizzouse

Good marine, good medic. Has the mizzousing skills to stand toe-to-toe in a 1v1. He's vocal, and will make the team better. Also owner of the most "disappointed dad" voice on mumble when losing. btw ban hellspawn

Stavudine

Good fighter, been on some great squads? He's been largely inactive during the short period of time that I've been playing USL, but he lit it up in an SB the other night, and I know that I've heard his name in conversations before about good players.

Apollo

Probably the primary leader in matches for this squad, I think? Been playing in the league forever, been a co-captain or captain with this group forever, so it's hard to imagine him not starting.

Torch

Scarface is ready to mouse you down. Don't sleep on him just because he doesn't talk much. Listens to his leaders well, and has fantastic fundamental skills.

Good fighter, vocal. Active.

pink

Haven't played against him enough to rate higher, but I know he can lead, gets law kills at the end of battles, and is a competent fighter. Has played with Apollo forever, so will probably be an active contributor.

Tyson

Monster is quick at learning league play, and it seemed like his medic took a leap last season. He's confident with healing and shooting in a balanced manner and keeping pressure on. The natural go-to when another medic doesn't show up.

The dark one has been shooting stuff since 2000 and weaseled his way up to admin. Inactivity, and the fact that there's a ton of good players on this squad is gonna affect his play time. But when he's in, he does well, and is vocal.

pinecone

A social invite I think. Seems more interested in just talking than playing the game much.
