Okay, now this is a topic I would like to talk about. Truthfully, if it's the Blood Gulch Crew (BGC) vs. Project Freelancer (PF), it would be a close battle. I have several reasons why this would be:


 * 1) While PF is more skilled and better equipped, the BGC surprisingly work better together, due to the fact they trust each other and are willing to die to protect their team when the situation calls for it. As Sarge stated in Reckless, because the Freelancers began to doubt their comrades and putting themselves first unlike the Reds and Blues, PF fell apart and its remaining agents were defeated individually by the Blood Gulch Crew.
 * 2) Both sides are determine as Hell. Although more seen as comedic effect, the members in the BGC have survived events that would seem impossible. For example: Grif survived being run over by a tank in Season 2, Donut has survived 6 near death experiences to date, Caboose eradicated the Battle Creek Grunts alone in Season 3, and Doc not only survived but stayed conscious after being punched into a wall by the Meta, who seemingly killed Sleeves with the same method, one punch. However, when the Freelancers are severely injured in battle, they show few signs of it and make quick recoveries. Along with this, PF as a whole will do anything to overcome obstacles in its way, even if it means killing their team (then again, this goes back to the reason why PF fell apart).
 * 3) The major issue is deciding what side Tex, Washington, and Carolina would choose to be on in this fight. These 3 have been notable members of both factions and which side they are on will no doubt determine the outcome of the fight between BGC and PF. Even the alignment of York and Delta, who are allies of the BGC, in the battle would be questionable.
 * 4) Lastly, the battle strategies of both factions are very well done. Yes, while the BGC have had a fair share of stupid ideas, their notable plans, such as those from Simmons and Church, have been a major reason why the group is still alive and the cause of their greatest enemies' defeat. The Director no doubt is an effective leader and how he operated the missions were delicately planned, ensuring some form of success and PF's crimes were not discovered for years.

I know for a fact the fight would be epic and somewhat humorous, but how it would end is up in the air. I would like to believe the BGC would win because, as Wes put it, they got exceptions due to being the heroes of RvB. Now that I think about it, maybe I'll make a blog about this topic if there are others interested to see it.
