Roster Doctor – Details, episodes & analysis

On this week I'm joined by the man with the balls to play Unaffiliated in the top 16 of Season 4! We cover his team building strategies, face down the sinister six, and talk about where to take it from here!

On this week's episode I'm joined by the (not so) singular Merzain. We break down his Season 4 Semifinals roster, gripe about HM, and face down the latest terror on Roster Doctor - the Sinister Six.

Once again I'm joined by the man with the math, Xavier Protocols Jacob, to go over a spicy roster. Pushing the power of Hired Muscle and Pentagram of Farallah to the limit, this Defenders roster has a game plan for every crisis! We talk through the 3 main game plans, when and how to play them, and how to tweak the list going forwards!
