Without further ado, and in no particular order:
UPDATE 1: No Johns died for not having 6 paid up, Egg Salad Dressing and Chefs moved to Intermediate. Cool club added.
UPDATE 2: No Johns un-died, Egg Salad Dressing moved back to Open (that was fast).
Not Around Bears
NAB were supposed to play in intermediate, and are going to pound in open. Not much else to say; we all know them after several seasons together. Hard fragging scout Edward moved to backup, but saturn is hopefully a good replacement for him.
cool club
Egg Salad Dressing
Same deal as Not Around Bears. Keith is possibly the best scout in open, Wolves was a great addition to their roster, and they all play well together.
No Johns
The Westbrook Effect
After vlad got VAC banned and their best player IMO (roamer Wilson) left, they are on the rebuild, but remaining team core JOE, Madoff and Kevin Durant are still some of the top players in open. New roamer Daffodil played well for Arstotzka last season, and pocket Mortowski has open playoffs and intermediate experience.
The Lolipoppers
Half of a mid-high open team from s20 plus former invite scout and highlander star Br0nze. Zabi also played for s21 team High Impact Love Crime (5-11), and new addition Raisin played for diexxxtracrispy (14-2, 0-1 playoffs). Should do well.
Cant Predict Stupid
Featuring 4 players from Renegades/Veggie Tales, another group that has proven themselves to be easily good enough to make open playoffs.
Bote 6v6
High level highlander players with respectable ESEA open portfolios + former IM player Spades, if they focus enough on 6s they should make playoffs.
WuT dUdE
Moderately experienced core of players who have been pugging together for a long time. It's worth noting that despite using the Blasty Blast roster, half of them played for mid-high open team That's So Randal last season.
Every Villain Is Lemons
Solid team based around last season's Polish Pizzeria that was doing very well in scrims with their old pocket and demoman; hopefully that continues with their updated lineup.
Milters
DM-heavy team who just missed playoffs in the very competitive (11 wins required) open season 21. When they are organized they play very well.
Hurricane Watch
Like Milters, narrowly missed playoffs in their first season of open. Their flank players departed in the offseason, but they look to have found worthwhile replacements.
Bearly Getting By
Half of mid open s21 team The Slim Slins returns with class shuffles and some experienced new teammates.
-Minty Fresh-
Built around last season's orbitCG, who have improved a lot since the start of s21. With some decent offseason power class pickups they should do well in s22.
ChibiBoutique ESPORTS
Half of this team is more-or-less new to ESEA, but the other players were among the best on their former teams and they've been doing well in scrims so far.
malicious activity
Assuming Bullet's latest gay hacker team doesn't get banned or collapse (like they always do), they'll presumably do pretty well in open. Still, it's a travesty that they are allowed to play.
Bob-omb Squad
Decently experienced mid-to-high open players, including playoffs for some.
Ie Sparkle Gang black
Thrown together last minute, 20th team megaboy has rostered with in the offseason, we'll see if this ends up being more stable than Bill's last team. Also the worst name in tf2 history. These are all good players, though.
kuwumbu jungle 2
Crasian is apparently only a temporary player unfortunately, however the rest of them are also solid fraggers including some IM experience.
Shutup Mom im Bowflexing
Dreamboat looks to have finally built a decent roster after months of tryouts (including most of last season). Could be a playoff contender depending on how well they work together.
