Note: After the publication of this piece, We Dem Girlz was signed by Northern Gaming and now plays under the Northern Gaming name.Earlier, we looked at the North American Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) team Kings of Urban and its journey from also-ran to top seed. Now its time to explore the story of its European No. 1-seed counterpart: We Dem Girlz.On August 6-7, We Dem Girlz will join the Kings in Los Angeles for a chance at the ultimate bragging rights in Rocket League: first prize at the Season 1 international Live Finals. Needless to say, each team has one thing on its mind: victory. We Dem Girlz know its within reach, according to Nick Maestro Bang. No one else, the winner is We Dem Girlz, he declares. With the squads history, its not hard to see why this team considers itself to be the heavy favorite.Fast and furiousUnlike most other teams in this budding scene, We Dem Girlz did not have a humble beginning; from its inception this past March, it came out of the gates fast. With a core of Maestro and Marius gReazy Ranheim from Supersonic Avengers, the then-No. 2 team in Europe, the squad was destined for success. Tying it all together and sealing the teams near-immediate ascension was Remco Remkoe De Boer from Team Spectral.When this roster was announced, the usual questions were raised: Will it synergize well? Can Remkoe take the former Supersonic Avengers players to a new level?It didnt take long to find the answers. In its first event together, a weekly Gfinity tournament, We Dem Girlz took down top-ranked European team FlipSid3 Tactics 4-2 in the finals. After clearly demonstrating its ambitions in that first competition, the team looked to move forward and challenge top teams for more titles, particularly in the upcoming RLCS Qualifier 1.With a style described as fast and stupid by gReazy, We Dem Girlzs unpredictability was an exciting draw but didnt always make for the most consistent results. We Dem Girlz headed into Qualifier 1 as the favorites alongside FlipSid3 and seemed to pull ahead with a top of the table performance in league play. Unfortunately, in the playoffs it had a tougher time making it into the finals to face off against FlipSid3, its newfound rivals. Ultimately, it fell just short of winning Qualifier 1, but it looked likely to emerge from the next qualifier as a top contender for the final showdown.In RLCS Qualifier 2, We Dem Girlz changed up its playstyle and saw the flipside of things, finishing second in league play with some consistently strong offense. Its new high speed, rapid-shot tactics became something of a revelation as it began looking better and better vs. top teams. In the finals, it came up against two of the players former team, Supersonic Avengers, who needed the series win to make the LAN finals. In what gReazy described as a sad but necessary match, they took down their former teammates to win the qualifier and advance as the number one seed from Europe. Remkoe described this feeling of standing on top of European Rocket League as the proudest moment weve had together as a team.Looking aheadAs its been a couple weeks since Qualifier 2s finish, We Dem Girlz has had some time to reflect. When asked about its first round matchup against Genesis in the international finals just over a week away, Remkoe said, Genesis hasnt been looking better than any of the other NA teams. Were just going to be trying to put out as much pressure as possible, and hopefully theyll not be able to handle it. gReazy went on to add confidently, I feel bad for them.With the confidence of a team thats been together much longer than four months, We Dem Girlz are coming in strong as a favorite to win the international finals. Given that top NA team iBUYPOWER Cosmic has just lost Cody Gambit Dover -- arguably NAs top player -- and FlipSid3 is having internal issues, it seems that We Dem Girlz are the most in-form team in the world. With heavy expectations riding on their shoulders, three of Rocket Leagues most talented players are ready to travel halfway around the globe to test their mettle in the games most intense and high-stakes competition yet. Will they come out on top? They certainly believe so.When asked about his teams chances, Maestro wasted no breath: 100%. Im only there for winning. Zion Williamson Jersey .
