Anger Games 6: Final Weekend Teams – Burned my prop sry

Raifaisen and co have proven to be quite the team this tournament, again one of the few undefeated teams with almost exclusively convincing wins. It will be interesting to see how they manage the final few rounds and if they can keep this form.

What would I do?

Historically, this team has heavily focused on battleship cores, but in this tournament they have done anything but that. Primarily running rush or close range focus comps, they’ve managed to execute the early parts of the match very well and use that lead to snowball to victories. That said, I think this team has more vulnerability than many to running into control comps and particularly some that we’ve seen, so I’d put in a ban for the Scorpion just because I wouldn’t want to see that comp again, then add bans for the Bhaalgorn and Armageddon Navy Issue as specific bans into comps that have been historical comfort picks.

Comp Options:

Claymore
Basilisk
Cyclone
Rapier
Jackdaw
Jackdaw

Taking a comp out of Odin’s book for this match even though they were the most recent to fall to burned my prop may be a strong counter pick to the options that they have been bringing. With enough range control to counter most any rush and enough anti-light dps, this could be the solution to this team.

Barghest
Barghest
Inquisitor
Inquisitor
Magus
Hyena
Crucifier

Another comp idea is to run rapid heavy armor Barghests with multiple scrams paired with Hyena webs and a Crucifier to help against ranged gun dps. This comp would likely be able to kite out many of the options that this team has been bringing.

Alligator

Jaguar
Maulus

Osprey

Finally, any time a Florida man comp goes unbanned it becomes a clear option. Again I would opt for something ranged and mobile with good damage and damps.
