Another team new to IFL, Top Flight fields a mix of duelers with and without IFL experience. Captained by Harris D’Artianian (0-3, -8.0 PDPB) who dueled twice in Season 1 as a member of Team Fist and once as a free-agent in 2007, Top Flight has some top-tier names but also some glaring weaknesses. Along with Harris’ in-the-red PDPB, Vince Smith doesn’t fare much better (3-8, -3.065 PDPB). Out of the three IFL experienced duelers, Corlanthis actually comes out in the top slot (3-3, 0.00 PDPB). Of the remaining duelers, Melanie Rostol’s an Emerald in the Duel of Fists sport and holds the record for fastest rise from Glass to Opal (34 days). Bane and Assistant Captain Seirichi are also Emeralds while Dean Reighland’s a Glass.

Will the Rhydin Rewind duo have enough time and focus to push this team of 2 HeavyWeights, 4 MiddleWeights & 1 FlyWeight into meeting its potential? Chances are yes; a playoff miss would be quite the upset for this talented bunch but it’s possible if Harris and Vince reprise their past performances, especially in the upper-tiered bouts.
