One thing’s for certain – Claire Farron’s assembled quite the eclectic group of duelers for Team Dirty’s IFL debut. With 6 FlyWeights and a Trainee, Claire must rely on early wins and quick promotions if her team’s going to make a post-season run – which may prove difficult given the only member of her team with IFL experience is Jewell Ravenlock (3-2, 0.00 PDPB all with defunct Roshambo). Outside of IFL, the team does have some unarmed dueling experience with Khoom Helston, Gothrak & Claire ranked Jade and Zack Alcar holding a recently acquired Ruby in the Duel of Fists. Juliane “Jules” Smith’s a total unknown with only her height and weight listed in the team’s media guide.

Although Rand al’Tan (ranked Glass in Duel of Fists) has the most overall dueling experience inside and outside of team competition, Claire appointed Khoom as Assistant Captain. It’s an interesting choice to say the least. Claire and Khoom must strategize matchups as best possible to cater to their teammates’ strengths and they’ll need to work in perfect sync in order to overcome Team Dirty’s season-starting rank deficiencies. If this team gets into a hole early on, it might find itself unable to climb back out.
