I hope you understand.

I'm not in team 2 yet, but..

I vote 1...Ng8-f6

+ Show Spoiler +
I play the Kings Indian myself, but there are many variations that start with Nf6. It's overall regarded as the best black response against 1.d4.
This signature is ruining eSports.

1. d4 e5 is not a very good gambit, if it's gambit play you're after.

I'm a lover of the dutch but I don't think that would be any popular.

1...Nf6 it is.

The dutch is an inferior opening. It's like 4 pooling zvz on a 6 player map.
