With Gen 8 RU's Beta just around the corner, it felt worth taking a moment to reflect on the Gen 7 RU experience, and to me one of the best ways to do so is through teams; the prominent teams of their day to me not only showcased the prominent threats, cores, etc. that were utilized at that time, but also the mindset of the players therein, addressing the way players adapted and worked around what was good and how. I would like to share some of my own personal picks, but don't let my own ideas about what this means dictate your responses! What teams did you feel strongly about, and why? I would ask that if nothing else you share a little about why you personally enjoyed the team or teams that you've selected for this, and for the sake of context the metagame that they came from. If you would like to supplement any of this with replays, testaments to the environment they were made from, etc., go for it, this is the place to gush about it!
