ESEA-Invite CS:S Report Card
Season 6 Outcome: Unlike the Main and Invite divisions,
I didn't personally pay as much attention to the Intermediate division.
However, even though my focus was elsewhere, I still became quite
familiar with Area 51.

Area 51 at LAN ETS
How
could you not? The team was an absolute powerhouse in the IM division.
Area 51 slaughtered their conference in regular season play to finish
off with a 15-1 record. The playoffs were no different. The Upper
Bracket Finals pitted Area 51 against Hostile Faction. Any viewer would
have thought it was a first round match, as Area 51 demolished their
opponents by a 16-1 final score. Area 51 eventually was paired against
the Fighting Irish in the Grand Finals, where Area 51 sailed through to a
16-11 victory.

Season 7 Prediction:
I'm not thrilled Area 51 has lost Daemos for the season. Daemos went
inactive for personal reasons which had nothing to do with his
performance. He decided to go off and get married! This left his team
without one of their most explosive players. NoMOTiV is a decent
replacement but it will be difficult to match the impact Daemos had on
this team. Four of last season's Intermediate champions will return,
which is certainly good news for Area 51. Make no mistake. Even though
I've given Area 51 a B-, I still think they have potential to finish
their first season in Invite with a .500 record. I just think the team
will need to rely more heavily on teamwork, when in the past, their team
seemed more reliant on individual performances. I feel guilty putting
so much value in Daemos, but he was an exceptionally good player for
Area 51. I'm pretty confident however Area 51 will be able to bounce
back after they settle into Invite. From what I've heard, they are
extremely dedicated so that of course will be beneficial.
