NiP Dominance

I'd be extremely remiss if I didn't at least briefly give credit to NiP's new team, Trounce, for their 2140 first week rating, which is pretty insane. First week rankings don't mean a ton, but I definitely didn't think we trailed by as much as 100 points. For those not on Stormstrike, NiP was one of the few 2600+ teams Season 1 and was unable to attend the tournament due to Canadian player restrictions (and one hailing from MD). They were without a doubt the strongest 5s team I've seen play, and even with the loss of what I felt was their strongest player, their mage Makoplux, they seem to be having no problems this season tearing the battelgroup up.

Avick, their priest, is also number one in 2s, 3s, and 5s this week, a pretty ridiculous accomplishment on this battlegroup. Think what you want, but that is just CRAZY. Of course, I believe we'll be dethroning Avick's teams shortly, but damn. o.O

Makoplux was decent but deffinetly not great.

Played against him many times, and lol no way in hell was he "amazing."

His ONLY key attribute that was somewhat impressive was his use of offensive and defensive Counterspells. He was sub-par on the rest of his game.

Avick is amazing, and has been for quite a while. He's one of those people who you see on the opposite side of a battleground and start cursing to yourself.
