Syndicate: Judging by their lineup on paper as I haven't seen them play yet, they could be another challenger for the first place but as with LTDN I see them falling short and placing 2nd/3rd.

Starting lineup (what I believe it should be):

Trisance (92): I can't rate Tris under a 94, it doesn't matter if he goes inactive for a month and comes back to play a match - he will challenge the best marines in the game.

Khaos (90.5): A great leader and a great marine. He can lead and he can kill.

Kippa (91): A good leader and one of the best medics in my eyes. I can see him and Khaos switching up leading to give this squad a bit of a different playstyle every now and then.

DeviL (90): I always like watching him play. Performs how you'd expect him to and he's confident in his play.

Demon/Seifer (86): As much as I like Eric, he's still rusty. He needs to shake off that rust or he'll end up being the least performing rine on this squad.

Leak (89): Leo the LMG king. I don't know why he doesn't LMG more :(

Havok (87): Not too sure if he will be medding or rining this season, but I hope he meds because I like watching him in that role and he plays it well.

Ninj (91): Another Trisance type. Could literally just not show up all week and then gets in 5 minutes before the match and still shits on people.

This lineup worries me a bit though. While I like the roster on paper, I know a couple of their players have activity issue or have had activity issues in the past. If they are active then they could be one to take that 1st place, but I don't see that happening.

Predicted finish: 2nd/3rd
