A great team that was able to replace what the lost with more talented players. As runners up in the Pro-Am West, they've got a lot of people believing in them to place even top two in the region. We haven't quite seen them live up to that since then, but there is not doubt that this team will fall in the higher tier of the standings, even if just barely. Today however they fight to try and scrap up a top 5 standing, and certainly a top 3 power ranking position.

Atlanta haven't faced much of a challenge this season, barring a weakened looking San Francisco Shock. This match is going to hit like a truck if they think they can get by playing the same we they've played the likes of New York Excelsior and Vancouver Titans. The Gladiators are scrappy, and well organized. They're definitely going to be a challenge for the Reign, and if they make it out of this still having a perfect map record, it may be time to start being really scared.
