This is a solid offense, but the lack of any depth kind of makes me iffy on them. The two starters though are great, with JSwan and victor messi returning to the NIP squad once more. JSwan went under a lot of people's radars during awards season back in S19, which is weird, because he was a starting offender on the #1 B-Team, but I guess OuchMyBalls got more attention due to his TPM ELO. JSwan wasn't a slouch that season either, with a 90 ONISH, so you know he's talented. He'll be paired with victor messi, who has been constantly improving every season and it's nice to see him not getting single-digit TNISHs. Victor actually won the FUGASP award last season, with a 77 ONISH and coming 13th in hold, so he's looking to finally take the next step as a starting offender. I think this offense will be pretty good, but after those two, who's going in? Probably xyzes, with a 50% win rate in pubs, could provide solid backup play, but I honestly am lost as to who else will fill in. I could just be wrong about the lineups and Frodo is actually an offender, which makes it slightly better, but I think the questionable depth just brings this offense down a notch in my rankings.

Honestly this defense is a great one, and the supporting cast might actually make this defense even better. lukemoo had a great season with the Buper-winning BCC, with an 85 DNISH and winner of the Best Defensive Pair award. He's an amazing B-Team defender and should be great this season. His defensive partner is SOGEKING, who formerly went as Waterlemon, and this is another solid pick. He came back after a long break last season for ABO and did pretty well, he reminds me of 12384, another defender who was pretty new. He was pretty good at preventing, which works with lukemoo's aggro playstyle. Just like the BCC defense, I think this defense is very good, and it's pretty close to really tell the difference between Blob / Kahn and lukemoo / SOGE. I think lukemoo / SOGE is better just because I feel that SOGE is also decent at chasing and returning out of base compared to KahnMan. Then for your supporting cast, you have STINK, a Euro with a 59% win rate in pubs, which is decent. FrodoBallins is also another defender who is playing his first season, and with a 50.7% win rate, is not that bad of an option, especially with lukemoo and SOGE. And finally, ErectChris, who is the best defender in the league. If you guys think ErectChris isn't the best defender in the league, then you're either blind or just bad. ERECTCHRIS WILL FEAST ON THE BONES OF THE IGNORANT. He's good at TagPro too.

Another solid draft by Dusk, and with a strong starting four, it looks like this team is playoff bound as well. I don't exactly think that it's as strong as their S19 squad, and definitely not as strong as their S15 team, but it's still a good squad nevertheless, and if they can get that offensive depth sorted, then I'll feel comfortable with saying that this team is Buper-bound once more.
