T2 teams presentation thread

Unfortunately the tier 2/3 european scene has not the visibility that it deserves. A lot of players (who are working really hard) can not acces to a sponsorship or a recognition cause the tournaments in wich they play have few viewers or nothing ( like Open Division wich is not streamed in anyway). With the hope to make more people cares about this scene and players i have decide to make this thread in wich i present some of the best teams in the scene with their players and placements during
the last period.
You can watch all this beautiful players and teams every week on the Go4overwatch tournaments by ESL.
Every Sunday from 15:00 CEST until the Final who usually is around 18:00/19:00 with 150 EUR in prize for the winner team
And on the second monday of the month you can watch the Finals of the previoud month where the teams who earn most points during the weeklies fight for a prizepool equal to 900 EUR.
The Go4overwatch tournaments is streamed by: https://www.twitch.tv/castersnest and https://www.twitch.tv/esl_overwatch_fr
And all the wednesday at https://www.twitch.tv/esl_overwatch_fr you can also watch some match of the EU Overwatch Open Division season 2 where a lot of teams are right now fighting for a place on the playoffs.

For the first edition i present you Golden Sausage and already ex-T2 team who is dead in the exact moment i was working on them (lul)

Golden Sausage

Composition of the team:

NLaaeR(dps): he played competitive overwatch since the beginnig with a team named Prets ( then Tornado Rox and Ex- Tornado Rox) he archieved a lot of placement and winning in the T2 tournaments. He then played under Owly Six org before going with Golden Sausage. An amazing flex/dps player who never reached what he deserved, but with this new team he is ready to archieve all he always wanted to. Contenders is not so far for this russian player.
Polly(dps): swedish player recently for Team Sith (Before knowed as Elysium Gaming) he played with some old glory (WarSpiritUK) and good players ( MrBeck recently on Singularity and Izzy). He is pretty new on the scene but he will be able to make him recognized with his Phara plays.
Nuja(flex): french player disappeared from the spotlight for a long time. Was a player under Aera e-sports (then NO NAME YET) with player like Tek-36 and others old-glory. An able flex player who came always with strong and solid performances.
wat7(main tank) He is the superstar of the team. One of the best main tank in all europe: he played under the original roster of Ninja's With Attitude and then, after the disbanded of NWA, arrived at Team Dignitas. He won a bunch of tournaments and he is absolutely a player who right now can be compete with a lot of future OWL main tank.
Scaler(flex supp) he already played for Team Singularity Gorillaz and has a challenger LOL background. His ana and zen are nutty.
Izzy(main supp) previosly Team GoldRush and Elysium gaming. He also played in Team Sith with Polly. Great player lets see where his lead wil bring this team
LeRenegat analyst ( french)
Xeon coach (german)

Placements:
1st place Go4overwatch weeklies #63 (beating wizards and Vivi's)
1st place Go4overwatch weeklies #69 (beating Iceblock.gg)
1st place Zotac cup qualifier#2 (beating Helsincky reds, Mickie MIx and Team Bounty Hunters)
2nd place Go4overwatch Monthly finals August (beating Ence and Team YP but behind Copenhagen Flames)

The story: Born in august they already beat team like Vivi's (rip) Wizards and Iceblok.gg. They are looking improved every tournaments in wich they play. They have also obtain good results in the Overwatch Open Division season 2 beating MKers(but they were playing with a sub) and others T2 top tier teams. Probably the second best T2 team of the month after Cwee?. They are serious and they can realistic take a spot in the next contenders season. Theire maturity test will be the September Go4overwatch Monthly final and the OW Open division Playoffs they have to shows others team their superiority esspecialy now after the vacant trhone of the T2 god team ( previously Vivi's and then Cwee?).

Lol i made this but the team disbanded few hours ago so i leave this just for the read of someone who is interested
*Can we End early?

Composition of the team:

SharP(dps) he begin to became famous with the team KGSZL he reach the lan finals of Legends Series and arrived third with his team. He also plays a match in contenders against Singularity with the beloved Bazooka Puppiez ( candle).
His tracer is really awesome and he is also climbing the ranked ladder to reach the top.
Leodeddz(dps) he played with SharP in KGSZL but he his not new. He already played 3 months with b0nkers(one of the best T2 teams in the past). He also played on böda socken with players like Dennia bock1 and snillo and in some minor teams.
Erki(flex) a veteran in the scene. He played in a lot of minor teams and make also an appearence with Red Reserve team ( ex-b0nkers).
Lateks(ex-main tank he announced a few hours ago that he leaved the team) No more on the team but he was an important player during the last month. He is knowed for being( with luddee and Epzz ) the core of b0nkers and Red Reserves, he is always been at the top of the T2 scenes with a lot of great results and placements. One of the best LFT tank in europe now. We dont know who will be his sub but his leave is a big problem for the team.
Epzz(flex support) probably the icon of quality player in T2 scene he played for a lot of team:from b0nkers to Vivi's adventure, from Penta e-sports to Cyclowns. Always solid and impactufull with his flex support role.
Zave(main support) he was at the top for months. Former player of the original 2sTroNK ( after Luminosity Gaming) he arrived to Misfits with the most important trade of overwatch. After his departure from Misfits active roster he playedin the educational team VÄLFÄRD. Able to palys both flex and main support Zave is a player that can be easily put in top tier team

Placements:
1st place Go4overwatch weeklies #66 (beating wizards Copenhagen Flames and Angry Titans )
1st place Go4overwatch weeklies #68 (beating Copenhagen Flames Ence Iceblock.gg and Helsincky reds)

The story: Born at the end of august this all swedish team archieved already some winning taking the place of Vivi's adventure ( candle) for the invicible leader of the T2 teams. Taking an half of KGSZL and other T2 gods the team born and quickly replaces Gustav with Epzz. They are now at their maturity test: they always look solid and dominating on the field but with the departure of the core of their playstyle (lateks) they had to demonstrate their strongness wven without him. They can easily be considered a T 1,5 and if they dominate the next Go4overwatch monthly final they are ready for the T1 Europe. No doubt the best T2 teams of the last month.

I will present more teams during this days...for the next one i was thinking about another uprising talented team: Royal Bandits. If you like this thing let me know and if you want some special team i wuold be pleased to make a little presentation for them.

They will try to reach the Grand Final on the Monthly FInals of Go4overwatch September and they can do it ( now that Cwee? disbanded) with their amazing backline. Their frontline can improve, but they are showing how strong they are and how they are making progress every day. In the top 5/7 T2 teams of the last month lets give some boyz some love!

The story :
Born from a talent show. This team, backed by Samsung, was formed during a the Fight For Glory(the talent tournament) created by Samsung where some Italian teams during online and offline qualifiers arrived to the Lan Finals. The winner team ( Team Rewind) got picked up with others 4 players (coming from different rosters) who have shown their ability during the tournament ( Seretur Ares Adnar and DragonEddy). Unfortunatly Rewind decided to made a step back so Samsung decided to pick up True e-Sports Aristocats (before aristocats): one of the most loved team by the italian community. They now can be considered as a mid-tier T2 team at european level and one of the best three teams in Italy. Thanks to their e-sport gym, where they meet eachothers once a week, they are improving a lot their coordination. With a 10 mans roster they have flexibilty on their side and a meta swap cant stop them from dominate: first Italy and then Europe.

Ps: thank you all for the kind words i really appreciated that!
Next team will probably be Copenhagen Flames with their superstar Zaprey.

Hey nice resume! for info mkers kicked worss and danye is their new player, it's not a sub

Copenhaghen Flames

Composition of the team:

Zaprey(dps/flex): a year ago Zaprey was stepping down from competitive overwatch due to personal reason (school). He was on the top with Graviton Surge and then Misfits, a player envied by all the top tier team. He is return back on april with the original Laser Kittenz roster. He, now , landed on this team to start over his climbing to the top: pay attention the king is back.
Shax(dps/flex): always in top Denmark team Shax make hi experience under Magistra and Team Singularity Gorillaz. He is the last pieces of the rebuild start in july but certainly he is not the least.
SpoXez (dps/flex): former Team exoplant and Magistra player. He played a lot with Mon0 and the coordination with him is unequivocally visible.
Paghminister(main tank) : player under Team Singularity Gorillaz ( with Shax) he is one of the more experienced denmark players, and after a long time under T2/3 teams he is ready to reach the top.
Watio(flex supp): He is the only survivor reamin after the July roster swap. Nutty Player he has finally a good team to work with.
Mon0(main supp): playing the eu competitive scene for over an year. Ex Magistra player he is ready to take the lead on the team. His biggest challenge is to take quiet Zaprey....and it is working.

Placements:

1st place Go4Overwatch Europe Monthly Final - August 2017 (beating Goleden Sausage in the Grand Final)
2nd place Go4overwatch weeklies #68 ( behind Cwwe? but above Ence and Wizards)

3rd place Go4overwatch weeklies #62 ( beated by vivis )
4th place Go4overwatch weeklies #65 ( beated by The Gatekeepers)

The story:
Active since last November the team had a lot of roster swap. The last change almost all the team during June and July, taking in some of the most talented T2 denmark players, who already worked togheter under Magistra and TS Gorrillaz, with Zaprey with the hope to reach the top....and this cannot gone better. Copenhagen Flames is the major opponent of Golden Sausage in the climb to the thone of T2 king. They show their strongness with good performance and great placements: the victory of the August Monthly Final is just the last pieces of a puzzle made by hard work and great teamplay.

https://www.twitch.tv/pg_esports. Here the italian tournament stream link i was talking over there

poi,my boy <3

4 legs

face: this guy is a sick fragger on lucio with boops u will never believe, he may be unable to get to GM but dont let that fool u, reflections off his bald head have been known to blind opponents at LAN

quatz: some people call him the "miro of australia" but tbh miro is more like the quatz of korea. this kid is nuts, he once killed me as ulting winston when i was full hp flying in the air as pharah, you think you're safe; you're not

animefan: despite his terrible ign, this gamer is the OG genji god and has been shredding buttholes since release, he also plays a mean tracer and does an impressive "goblin in a distant cave" impression

tongue: with that olive skin and handsome smile theres no doubt tongue has multiple e girls knocking at his door, he doesnt let that distract him though, he's sharp as hell and his flying balls will smack you right in the face if you're not careful

shoyo: jimmy neutron brought to life, shoyo brings the big brain plays with his calls and dva bombs and is always keen to pull out orisa and her completely pointless back legs

termo: and then there's me... the TERMINATOR, it may look like i get carried, but i'll have you know that i land my helix rocket jumps at least 50% of the time and provide killer pythons at LAN, if thats not being a good teammate i dont know what is
