Sadly, no one was available/responded for questions.

Preseason Prediction:
4G, formerly focaL, is in that grey area between "teams that'll get stomped" and "teams that'll get stomped by some and stomp others". It's important that they head into every match with the right mentality - there's no chance of them knocking off Pandemic or anything, so smaller victories are what they should gun for, be it holding off the better team for a time or whatever. They're also going to win some matches without too much trouble, and should try to take what they learn from their betters and apply it to their own gameplay.

Playoff Prediction:
A lotta ups & downs for 4G/Team Dynamic this season; a team that had their share of upsets & roster problems combined with a double-header that kind of sealed the deal for them in my eyes. Week's 5-2 & 6-1 against Veneration - played in a one night double-header - was a pretty critical time for Dynamic, hip-deep in some roster issues but still in a surprisingly strong position as far as rankings went at the time. Had they won those two matches, I might be singing a whole different tune about these guys... they just might have been my darkhorse pick. But even a late-season win over Sway & the Mach pickup isn't enough to convince me that any magic is happening here; their weak schedule combined with what seem like some softer wins peppered throughout the season - plus facing eMg R1 - makes me think two-and-out is the future of this squad.

Predicted Placing: 7th-8th
