Fresh in their first season, Paragon of Virtue places well to compete in their first CEVO playoffs as a team. After sweeping the placement tournament with ease, they have hurdled and overcame obstacles to prove to the nation how well they can place.

Doing better than half the teams roster wise, they have managed to stabilize most of their players for a whole season. Only problem is now they have endured most of their roster changes just before playoffs. Bell being the most recent, he will have to work with the group as best as possible and attempt to play it safe as possible instead his usual playing style.

Their season opener wasn't the best of starts but did end on a good note winning the last 8 of 10 matches including wins over EG, MoB, Complexity, and X3O. Well when you see scores like that and odds like this, you begin to wonder what could happen next?

Strengths: Having the upper hand of most of the top tier teams with previous wins in the season, PoV will put their teamwork to full capacity. Plus with Bell being in this position before, he will help the rest of the team with his input and outlook on things throughout the event.

Weaknesses: Last minute roster changes can always make or break a team but with Rodgers having not played but only 1 match all season, it could easily affect them.

Prediction: Third. It would be nice to see if they can send either X3O or EG to the Lower Bracket to stir up things but who knows. They are surely capable of defeating any of these teams this weekend as they have already shown during in the season.
