Confide’s NUSD II run is enough to put him at the top of a threat list, going 6-1 against some of NU’s best. He wasn’t as active in NUPL so it’s hard to tell how well he’ll perform this year, but we can expect similar amazing results. Confide can operate any kind of team, which is a trend you’ll see a lot for this draft. Less known in NU, GXE was a solid UU builder and player at the start of the generation and has more recently dabbled in NU in tours like BLT and NU Open; it’s hard to say how he will do, though the rankers don’t show much confidence in him. Raptor is a strong pilot, much like PDT, another great pickup by Musharnas. With Expulso and Irish to feed them teams, they’ll be threats.
Luthier is a really solid player in SM from his time playing current gen slams, but with the top end of the pool, he still manages not to be a standout. With Luck as a manager to help him build, along with his piloting skills, he definitely has the potential to go positive and more. The KID will do what he always does; load up some weird shit and win. Coming off a solid 5-3 from NUSD II, Kiyo is a self-sufficient ORAS and a huge steal for 8K. Shuckleking is very experienced in BW NU, holding the best record last year in NUPL at 4-1. Even though this is the case, the tier has changed a fair amount since last NUPL and there's more new faces, so it's not a guarantee that he'll be the best again. vivalospride did a fine job last year with a middling record at 3-2, and although he isn't a favorite, with Expulso as the manager, he should have adequate support to turn another performance this year. Jisoo is the undisputed goat of ADV NU, 6-3 in NUSD, 6-0 in NUPL. Nobody can put up results like she can. Self-sufficient like Kiyo, you draft them and see wins in your ADV slot, no questions asked.
Overall, the Musharnas have a really solid team. They have a few standouts in Confide, Jisoo, and Shuckleking, and every other slot can be expected to go at least even in most seasons. With almost no exceptionally poor slots, it will be hard to find a weakness in this team.
