If there is one group which represents the native competitive scene the best, that'd probably be Apis Europae. Indubitably the team which got the most impressive record out of the whole EU scene, 8 titles in 10 participations, their worse record at a major tournament being standing at the second place .. the two times they didn't get the gold. The "bees" as they like to call themselves are on their road for a ninth tittle and defeating Random Force in the ladder, their most dangerous opponent, would be certainly a perfect way to assure a 1st place finish and be in the best position possible to start the playoffs.
Same as RF, there is hardly a compartment where you could find AE a weakness. Scar, Deacon, M, BD, Cleric, Blivandefar. Six names which have made the legend AE is nowdays. Six players knowning and trusting eachothers perfectly, fighting as one unit. Not something to be considered lightly, by anyone. And as if it wasn't enough, AE got the luxury to add another talentous name to their infantry roster, who is no else but BlackTide, their best ennemy, who after fighting many times against them, will be playing on their side. This said, tonight's match and the one to come next week are not necesseraly where infantry got the occasion to shine the most, far from it. It's really rare to see more than two/three infantry being played, depending on the situation. Moreoever, everyone remember when after a close map on San'di'boush versus IR in the WNL5 final, AE played a 'all in' set-up with 8 nords cavalry, drowning IR's force in a javelins storm. At the time, Scar and BD played cavalry, something I wouldn't be surprised to see them doing if AE decides to play a similar composition on Amere Village.
Their ranger departement will be lead as per usual by one of the most famous archer of the scene, namely LeRoux. However, this time, it seems like Neathar and Razer, two of their usual players at this class aren't really active which is probably why AE have brought NeLe in their ranks. He seems to adapt himself rather well and will have a real occasion to prove himself to his team in this match. Tomy will be also playing as ranger, as he often does, however he has proven himself to be a rather good cavalry so same as Scar and BD, he could be potentially used as such on one of those maps.
After presenting such a bunch of superstars, one could think their cavalry roster would be anecdotal. If you think this way, it's probably because you have never heard of the white flash, also known as Peter. The frenchman is recognized by its peers to the one of best cavalry to have ever touched this game, if not the best. What's sure is that mounted on his courser, he is a terrible threat for any players, even the best ones. To his side is a player which hasn't to blush regarding the prowess of his comrade, Shemaforash, a swedish which never cease to amaze as much as he divides by his often very one sided statements. And on the field he knows no other rules than the ones he commands. Corey, a player who joined them recently but already partaked in tournaments with AE will be completing their cavalry force and as usual, Azan, the brain of the team will be leading this fine bunch of gentlemen to glory. And they won't have the time to take a rest versus what's coming for them, that's for sure!
