TEAM UYU vs TEAM PSYCHO SHINOBI

Banned Characters: Guile and Rashid

With two players who use Rashid as their main character, Team UYU is hit especially hard when that character is banned. So far they have not found a way to win without Rashid. Opponents will not be able to ban Rashid a second time so the back-half of the season should be much stronger for UYU. This week against PSYCHO SHINOBI the highlight for UYU was Kami who played strong, defeating Caba easily in the first round and only narrowly falling to Xian.

HotDog29’s PSYCHO SHINOBI got an important win against Oil King’s Team UYU with a score of 3-1. UYU’s Guile ban hampered Caba greatly in the first round as once again his Ryu has a tough time competing at this level. Caba’s loss to Kami was the only low point for PSYCHO SHINOBI as Xian and HotDog29 went on to win the next three matchups to secure the victory.

TEAM ALPHA 3 vs NASR

Banned Characters: Seth and Kolin

Punk’s ALPHA 3 had a rough first week but has won the last two Team Battles. The Team has looked more relaxed and focused and it has translated into wins. Big Bird’s NASR was the reverse situation, winning in week one but dropping the last two. Even with these losses, NASR is without a doubt one of the strongest overall teams in season three with AngryBird being the standout performer so far.

This Team Battle was a real barn burner with most of the matchups being very close despite the scores displayed. NASR took the first two rounds and were incredibly well positioned but they ran into a brick wall named Punk. Each member of Team NASR put up a valiant effort but Punk managed to claw his way to victory against each in turn. Punk was able to pull off a hard fought OCV to give another win to ALPHA 3.
