The start of a league in FF is always exciting; the players and the clans they make have traditionally been value-based and open to new people and new ideas. The latest being the no newb left behind policy where the best teams sought after new recruits to mentor.
One such clan to lead by example is inhouse. I think this will be one of the most exciting matches in the preseason against team BIG. When I talk about values it's embodied in its leader who came all the way from latvia to train some of the recruits new to FF he discovered through his talent network. It is commendable that to them, winning isn't a part of their strategy, they are more concerned with learning how to play the game.
Their opponent, the pious clan BIG has been known a long time for its missionary work. The leader OJ had a self-realization crisis in 1994 when his favorite actor and sports hero O. J. Simpson was indicted. This lead him to become a born again Christian adopting the name BIG, Born In Galilee, to remind him of his redemption from sin, and to atone for the crimes of his namesake.
I am eager to watch clan ^HeLL compete in this league again. It is always a highlighting event to see them perform, especially after proving to their school previously that they could win. Once again in revolt against their high school teachers who wouldn't allow them to use the word "H. E. double hockeystick" they will attempt to put it in their face that they are mature enough to use vulgar language and will have a chance to prove it again.
Their preseason face-off was chosen to be clan 2 Gud purposely as both struggle internally in a battle of semantics. 2 Gud has yet to master spelling including its members' names. Their cohesion through nature and their animal spirits however make them a formidable team.
Team givashit. had a tumultuous struggle in coming to decide on a name between its members. Each wanted its differing and favorite pokemon. After one member became so determined about his choice he hacked the database manually changing it to jigglypuff. The admins revoked any naming privileges from the members themselves after that point and in protest the team settled on what they thought of the matter.
We do not know much yet about the dark horses of this season except for the Saints. Known for their holy separation from human wants and desires they save the souls of strangers outside of the game using their clipboards and sharp dress code. Stumbling onto the game by accident they signed up believing the forum stood for family fundraiser.
