Manta Cup IV - VI - Extraordinarii (English)

Extraordinarii

A familiar name graces the stage of the Manta Cup once again – Extraordinarii. This diverse team, originally formed years ago as a German/Polish/Turkish ensemble, reunites to face the challenges of the Manta Cup once more.

With an impressive history in the previous three cups, Extraordinarii has already established itself as a force in the competition. The team has demonstrated in the past that it can navigate its way to the semifinals, and now they are gearing up for another participation in this prestigious tournament.

However, behind the scenes, Extraordinarii faces some challenges. Some members of the team still grapple with the lack of personal gaming hardware and must reorganize to compete in top form. These adversities underscore their determination and relentless commitment to their passion.

The team has a clear goal in mind: to defeat Black Manta. Although they have never faced each other in the previous three tournaments, this remains the unfulfilled dream that Extraordinarii aims to achieve in Manta Cup IV. The team's name, inspired by the Roman elite unit "Extraordinarii," carries the essence of determination and the pursuit of excellence.

With a unique history, a diverse player composition, and a clear goal in mind, Extraordinarii steps onto the stage of Manta Cup IV.

Toplane - ChangedbySupport

A change at the helm of the team: The original jungler has now taken on the role of the top laner and team captain, and this development promises an exciting realignment for the team.

Originally starting as a jungle main, Extraordinarii's top laner and captain has left his mark in 18 Manta Cup games. Recently, he has undergone a strategic shift by leaning more towards carry champions like Gwen and Aatrox. This adaptation suggests a new dimension on the battlefield and promises to alter the team's dynamics.

In addition to his usual picks, Rengar might step into the spotlight as a cheese pick. The versatility of Extraordinarii's top laner is evident not only in adapting to different champions but also in the ability to create surprising moments with unconventional picks.

The change at the top of Extraordinarii promises an exciting journey through Manta Cup IV. With a former jungler now at the helm as the top laner, the question remains of how this transition will impact the team's strategy and chances of success.

Jungle - Vamarox

Vamarox, originally the team's supporter, has now taken on the role of the jungler. This unconventional shift not only raises questions but also promises a unique dynamic for the team.

Vamarox, previously known for his role as a supporter, is now stepping into the shoes of the jungler. With 18 Manta Cup games in his history, it becomes apparent that he not only showcases his flexibility but is also willing to embrace new challenges. Although Vamarox is not known as an experienced jungler, he is attempting to navigate this key role, and the team dynamic could take on a new facet through this transformation.

It remains to be seen whether Vamarox, not previously renowned for his jungle prowess, can successfully integrate into this role. His preference for low-economy junglers with lots of crowd control, such as Sejuani or Maokai, could represent a strategic approach for Extraordinarii. Manta Cup IV will undoubtedly reveal whether this unexpected role change will redefine the crucial jungler position for Extraordinarii.

Midlane - Levyelisapik

In the ranks of Extraordinarii, Levyelisapik stands as the midlaner, a creative strategist with a penchant for unconventional picks. With experience from two previous Manta Cups, he promises to conquer the mid lane with a unique approach.

Levyelisapik has made a name for himself by exploring unusual choices like Urgot in the midlane. With two cups under his belt, he is known for his willingness to embrace unconventional strategies, making him a key player for Extraordinarii.

Lissandra, his main champion, is an instrument of his dominance in the mid lane. As a potential leader carrying the team, much is expected from Levyelisapik.

Botlane - Command DDOS

Command DDOS shines as the botlaner and standout player of the team. As one of the top ADCs, he faces the challenge of leading his team to success.

Command DDOS is hailed as one of the top ADCs, and much rests on his shoulders when it comes to standing up for his team. However, he experienced a bitter moment in Manta Cup V2 when he let his team down in a crucial tiebreaker for the quarterfinals, resulting in their defeat.

Despite these setbacks, Command DDOS remains a key player for Extraordinarii. His expertise with strong ADCs like Caitlyn or Kalista could be crucial when it comes to leading the team and turning past tournament experiences into positive results. The Manta Cup IV offers him a new opportunity to showcase his skills and pave a glorious path for Extraordinarii.

Support - GxRave

In the role of support for Extraordinarii, GxRave steps in as an experienced player who, since his joining, has not tasted success in the Manta Cup. Now, he faces the challenge of proving himself and making a significant contribution to the team's success.

GxRave plays a pivotal role as support, and his choice of carry-supports like Heimerdinger, Senna, or Xerath underscores his individual playstyle. As one of the better players in the support position, he is expected to assert himself in the upcoming Manta Cup IV season and leverage his skills in the service of the team.

The Manta Cup IV provides GxRave with a stage to utilize his experience and prowess, and it will be interesting to see if he can lead the team and contribute to a successful campaign.
