Get to know your teams! We've reached out to the teams and asked them some questions ahead of the start of this event.
Why should people cheer for your team in the NA Team League Rumble 3?
+ Show Spoiler +Alpha X:- As home to three GSL Code S players, almost a third of the NA Dreamhack participants (half of the final four), and many more under rated players we are a dominant team and are the team to beat in NA Rumble.
Archangel Gaming:- Well we are the best team in the league
Team eXoN:- Cause Cham is adorable... but seriously though, like Archangel we are a new and upcoming team with high tier players, we hope to bring the best games in for the community and help the up and coming players who hope to make it in the scene!
Icebound Esports:- Our team is filled with players who really love the game and are always gearing up every tournament to win. Each player brings something unique to the table so make sure to watch and see how they shake things up.
Kosmos Esports:- We're the new guys in the scene, why wouldn't you!
Risen from the Gosu:- We're a team built from the passion from both the Gosu and Risen communities!
What is your goal for the NA Team League Rumble 3?
+ Show Spoiler +Alpha X:- Our goal is to continue our streak and hold onto the title of NA Team League Rumble Champions for the third season in a row.
Archangel Gaming:- We want to make it to the Finals and win the league but we will be super happy to make the playoffs as there are alot of strong teams in the league.
Team eXoN:- Well we want to win, but we mostly want to take down Icebound, we love them but its time for payback!
Icebound Esports:- Nobody is going to have our team as the favorites, but we know our team is strong enough to win it all. We are hoping this tournament will let everyone see how hard this team has practiced by coming in 1st.
Kosmos Esports:- Win the entire thing or not get last.
Risen from the Gosu:- Of course we'd like to win who wouldn't. But as long as we beat Exon we'll be happy.
Which team do you really want to beat in this event, and why?
+ Show Spoiler +Alpha X:- Ice Bound Esports vs Alpha X has become the classic title match up in the NA Rumble. Last season Ice Bound showed that they can beat us in the group stage, but Alpha X has been able to bring it when it really matters, winning the grand finals over Icebound in both seasons 1 and 2. Look out for some heated fights between these two in season 3.
Archangel Gaming:- We really want to beat eXoN our first clan war as a team we loss and we have a really friendly rivalry so we will beat them this time.
Team eXoN:- IceBound Esports - every time we face them we have barely lost when it matters the most. we wont to take it back and beat them next time and every time.
Icebound Esports:- Last season we lost to Alpha X twice, so beating them is where all the attention this season will be going. The energy around the match between them is always intense and the matchups between their team and ours always leaves us at the end of our seats.
Kosmos Esports:- Alpha X because our owner really likes the Alpha X owner
Risen from the Gosu:- Exon because Drikett only mentioned us once while he was on the Pylon show
Which player on your team should we be keeping an eye out for during this event and why?
+ Show Spoiler +Alpha X:- This season we are adding Future to our already stacked lineup so be sure to keep an eye on him.
Archangel Gaming:- Watch out for JusticeSimon, he has been practicing a lot and getting a lot better at the game as well.
Team eXoN:- Ryan and Raiden, both are underdogs on our team but seem to win when it matters the most
Icebound Esports:- The legend of TurkeyDano really speaks for itself. He always creates wild games and opponents hate playing against him. He's playing TurkeyDanoCraft while everyone else is playing starcraft.
Kosmos Esports:- SortOf because he's SortOf!
Risen from the Gosu:- King, he's the newest member of our team.
