LogisticMap went in the second round of the snake, a tradition as old as time, and with it the INC B-Team picked up a solid starting offender. Logi isn't as explosive as the other B-Team offenders you saw last season, but he's definitely consistent, and he's consistently good, which is super important. The rest of his offense though isn't as inspiring, with wmwtso and PASSTHEFLAG. I've heard wmwtso is good, but I've never actually seen him play, and he ghosts like every season. PASSTHEFLAG is a decent offender, but I'm not really a fan of this offensive pairing. Honestly, this is the one offensive pairing that I could probably be totally wrong about, but whatever, it's 12 AM and I'm really tired. You also have 18, who's claim to fame is that one Pilot boost through the spikes and also TPL not registering his stats. Zoomie is the good Pyruvate in terms of personality, and he's a decent depth offender.
The starting defense comprises of two good defenders, but no depth behind them, which is the case for most of these teams, so I won't really dock them here. im a goat was the starting defender for TTAN's B-Team last season, and while he had the 75 DNISH, a respectable but mediocre number, he did come 6th in prevent and 15th in returns. I think he's a good leader of a defense due to his game awareness and experience. Then you have BirdReynolds, who was goat's defensive partner on TTAN last season and had the 79 DNISH while also coming 8th in prevent. This defense worked pretty well last season, but they also had fractal, DANK, and adawg on their offense, which is just not what they have now. I still think this defense will be one of the better ones this season, but they might have to carry a little bit harder. You have Rislyeu as a defensive depth piece, but he has a 21.2% pub win rate, so that's not really a meaningful addition here.
The defensive depth issue isn't really an issue since PTF and Logi could actually be serviceable defenders, and I know this from experience. The offense is fine, the defense is good, and the offensive depth might be fine. I know I'm ranking this team 7th and that's actually kind of good, but I don't really have anything overtly positive to say here. The starting four is solid and their depth meh, that's it.
