Sadly, no one was available/responded for questions.

Preseason Prediction:
I'll be honest, I'm expecting pretty big things from Check-Six (formerly GZOS) this season. The lineup is a solid group of guys who've been all over the TF2 competitive ladder, from CEVO-A Champs to CEVO-P contenders. While I don't see them taking down Pandemic or Exi anytime soon, some of the teams with more question marks around them (such as Dev or GEDT) could find themselves on the losing end of a Check-Six matchup. If their heads in the game, x6 could definately surprise some people this season, and maybe even make a run to the top 5 or higher.

Playoff Prediction:
Check-Six did indeed have a pretty strong coming-out season, with a solid 13-3 record and their only loss of note (ie. not at the hands of eMg or Pandemic) was a gaff against Dynamic that is easily forgiven and forgotten. Why, then, such a low predicted final? Aside from rumours of roster issues and the like, I think the break has hurt this team the most, killing any sort of motivation to pull themselves up to the level of Pandemic and quite possibly killing the team, too. But hey, they've got enough talent to make things interesting if they decide to make a go of it, but aside from maybe a win in the Lower Bracket I don't think we can hope for too much from this crew.

Predicted placing: 5th-6th
