Complexity LA
10-2 record in CGS
Champions of CEVO CS:S S3 with a 14-1 record

Complexity LA is coming off a nearly flawless CEVO P Season 3, where they took only one loss to Hyper!, and took home the $5,000 first prize. They also finished first in the CGS standings for CSS, although the rest of their franchise kept them out of the playoffs. With the strong leadership of rambo and zet, this team looks to be unbeatable.

Hyper!
14-1 CEVO S3 Runner up

Hyper is heavily favored to finish well this season, and they also had a nearly perfect CEVO P Season 3, going 14-0 before losing to 3D in their final regular season match. Hyper then had a rough time in the playoffs, losing twice to Complexity LA and once to the old verGe team.

Chicago Chimera
5-6 CGS, CGS Regional Champs
7-8 CEVO S3

Chicago Chimera is highly regarded after the strong performance of their franchise allowed them to finish the season as CGS Regional Champions. Despite their CGS crown, they had lackluster CEVO results from last season—they’ll be out to improve those numbers now that shaGuar and Grt have been able to join the team.

Carolina Core
5-7 CGS

Carolina Core was the last team to make CGS playoffs but due to the strong performance of the rest of their franchise, they were able to make their way into the finals. They were an underdog throughout the CGS season from draft day (their selection was met with derision from many) all the way into the playoffs. Just like Chimera, Core needs to improve their CSS game with practice in CEVO P so that they can contribute more to their franchise.

San Francisco Optx
6-6 CGS, CGS Runner up in CSS
10-5 CEVO S3

San Francisco was the only CGS franchise to select a native CSS team and it paid off with a 3nd place regular season finish and a playoff berth where they finished 2nd. Their CEVO P performance last season wasn’t quite as good as they expected, but GM Kat Hunter says her team is rested, “hungry, and ready to play.”

3D.NY
6-5 CGS
12-3 CEVO S3

New York 3D turned in decent performances in CGS and CEVO P Season 3, but failed to capitalize on their playoff opportunities in both leagues. 3D will no doubt turn in a good season, but the real test of their mettle will come if they can reach CEVO P playoffs. Knocking off a team like 3D.NY in the CEVO P playoffs will be the perfect chance for a non-CGS team to make a name for themselves.
