The thing is though as you said so yourself, you haven't been playing any scrims in a few years (you claim you still pug, but I pug every single day and have never once seen you in the past year or so i've been on wL) and therefore you have no idea of the current skill level of any of those players. When we played scrims against those teams, they didnt just take any random 5 they had on, they took the best five that they could possibly bring out and played us, and every first match we let our opponent pick map and I'm pretty sure every single one of those scrims we let the opponent start ct side.

But man I wish Bunny/Rabbit was still playing css, I wouldve really wanted him to play with us cause him, hobo bob, jesse james, sako and I had really good chemistry together. However, our lineup will be much different against HDK due to some people's inactivities but I'm 100% sure that the match will be very even. Every person I've asked third opinions to giving our possible lineup and HDK's possible lineup has told me they think we should win. You don't know why yet, but you'll find out when we play. Also, I'm not sure why you keep bringing up Spartacus as he's not on HDK. I hope we'll be able to get SourceTV working so that everyone can watch the game.
