AK: Quality wise i'd go for Bart and proph, seeing as how they've got a history together, and can turn around a match with ridiculous pace. For experience you can also put toxjee here. Or for a strong captain you could put obama there.
AK-u: The BLX has alot of strong ak-u players. Based on what i've seen from everyone i'd switch between pazazu and delroo, and a second smg would be froster, cozje or VATO
Scopes: Obviously Stevy would be a strong pick, but when it comes down to it, i feel that Robye offers alot as well. Only downside is that Robin rages pretty quickly :P
Could make an easy winning team out of the best dutch/benelux players not in EPS
bart and proph just played in the eps...
pazazu just played eps... delroo ak's
vato also played eps !
muppet :D <3
AA m8 lolz x)

I don't mean they'd beat you tomorrow, by winning lineup I mean a top lineup, a lineup that on paper would be the best benelux team by a fair distance. Don't take it personally it's a fact, stevy is the best sniper in this game, robeye is a top 3 scope.
(Don't pay attention to the image url :D)
