Prediction: NGL One fourth place

HLTV.org predicts the team to place fourth at the NGL One Season 4 finals this weekend.

Team Alternate

Manuel "approx" Zeitz
David "CHEF-KOCH" Nagel
Jan "mooN" Stolle
Benjamin "paN" von Mulert
Roman "Roman R." Reinhardt

To some the best team in German for the time being. Lately the guys had the momentum when playing the rivals from mousesports. The team is fairly new, even with the latest addition of Roman R., there is still something to squish out of this team. With a high potential comes a great responsible for performing well. Alternate did bring great results home in 2007, but never the really big ones and often barely into top5.

The team had for a long while been overseen and beaten by rivals from mousesports, but that seem to have turned for now. Alternate is currently considered the best German squad, but internationally the team lacks the experience. The team did however play a pretty steady season in NGL One. Finishing first and have to face their worst rivals from mousesports in the first match, will be exciting to see, who’s the best in Germany?

Strengths

The team has 5 great individuals, all mixed together results in a deadly lineup.

mooN playing style has been describe by some, to be annoying to play against. mooN go into matches, being feared and respected. When leaving the match, in most cases, either if it’s a win or a loss, the opposite team will still be annoyed by mooN. mooN also carry a deadly awp, especially on dust2, his weapon find enemies head in a matter of a split second, combined with his playing still, he’s even more infamous.

paN and CHEF-KOCH are those type of guys who just won’t die. No matter what, they will bring several players, if not the entire team with them to the grave.

Weaknesses

The fact that the team removed of one the key players in the roster, will show during the finals. How hard it will affect the team, WE must wait to be seen during the finals.

The team have a disappointing ability to lose already "won" matches. The team have to pull some strings if they want to get rid of this weakness. Getting self-confident or when leading, is possible the worst thing to do. Most teams will recognize from some equations.

Why will Alternate finish last at NGL One Season 4 finals?

The latest player switch has yet no shown it’s affect on the team. Replacing key player roman takes time to recover from. Not said his replacement, Roman R. Is a bad player. He’s different and the team has to adapt to it. Alternate will be back and show great play, it just won’t be during NGL One finals.
