They\u2019re still the same unbeatable team that won five tournaments in a row, and here they\u2019re looking for another and most important one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018ZywOo\u2019 <\/strong>and<strong> \u2018ropz\u2019 <\/strong>are the two stars that this team relies on when it comes to tough moments; together with the insane ability of <strong>\u2018flameZ\u2019 <\/strong>as an entry-fragger, this trio is deadly.
