Overview:
Group J will be interesting with two strong teams and two below average teams. I would love to see either Fancy Pants or TTT make it at least into the Retribution, but that seems highly unlikely given the top two teams fighting for spots.

Review
Arrival has had some continuing success in the AT but never made it through the strongest teams into the very top tier. That said, it’s very possible they could take this group over ONThreeC.
Strengths
Rush is their biggest strength
Weaknesses
Fighting into heavy control and long drawn out fights
Ban Targets
Take out some key rush ships and hope to get a positive matchup

Review
A handful of solid tournament pilots backing the leadership of Damassys and Melinda who are both experienced and highly knowledgeable leaders in their own rights. It’ll be interesting to see how this whole team pulls together.
Strengths
Strong piloting and leadership
Weaknesses
Relatively new team working together
Ban Targets
Not much to remove since many of the strong comps are hard to ban out and the comp pool for this team is wide, but Damassys has historically favored armor cores.Absolution Redeemer

Review
Fancypants is a low-tier team from ex-Horde members who went their own way for the tournament in AT 17. Not much to say as they aren’t a particularly strong team but they have at least put together some comps.
Strengths
They have a relative mixed bag of comps they can throw at you but run rush decently.
Weaknesses
Their execution and overall theory are both limited
Ban Targets
Take out the Sleipnir and Loki to prevent a rush and the Barghest in case they go for a missile kite.

Review
A relative mixture with a few tournament players thrown in for good measure. Nothing particularly stands out other than having a member of their roster with sub 2k MMR.
