Last time, VortiX all-killed Empire. It will be interesting to see if he can make it again.

It appears he's on loan as well for K3, he did a good job vs dignitas so he's pulling his weight for the duran brothers.

Only the top four players in the lineup above are in Karont3 afaik, Mikoel, Alastor and Verdi are on loan just for this league.

Could go either way, so many players on both teams could get a good streak going and get a couple of kills. Might be exciting, I'm gonna watch.

I might be thinking of the wrong guy, but isn't Verdi the guy who's known to be like, really fucking bad manner?

Nah, you're right, I guess, but he's also quite decent at Starcraft, just got third place at IESF where he 2-0ed both SortOf and Sen.

A lot of players have bad manners - who cares.

Indeed, quite the smooth roll o.O. Let's see how far Mikoel can go!

It doesn't seem like it would ever be a good idea to say "no longer used" as opposed to something like "rarely used" or "no longer commonly used." Sometimes strange builds pop up again.

Edit: And Verdi kills his own collosi when they were a 3-5 second walk away from Kas' army... he could have just A moved them into the army at the least for some marine kills...

I think he wanted to surprise kas and trick him into making more vikings.

That MIGHT make sense, if he didn't proceed to attack immediately after killing them off.

Has Verdi actually joined k3? Or is he still on loan?

Just a minor complaint, but you should really include the races in the lineups. I don't know them for half of the players, and it's annoying to have to look them up every time their team is playing.

No, he's on loan from Vega Squadron.
