Super Chargers [SUC] vs [WUMBO] Wumbologists
Can't predict my own game. Reason? I already know we're going to win...


Sunday School Gangsters [SSG] vs [SDC] Stardust Crusaders
Originally I thought that SDC would be a powerhouse (which it is), but when Alpha was playing last night with Dragon and DS they actually kicked ass and kept on par with my team. How the fuck is this possible? I don't know yet. Their first games were rusty, but the games before it were actually solid. Alpha I think just does better on a mid position. He is good at fragging, why we ever made him O was beyond me since he can actually shoot well. SDC is pretty much the fraggiest team behind mine, and this map requires heavy frag power. Luckily DS is a walking lighthouse/tank so they have no problems with defence.
In the end I can't predict who will win properly. It'll come down to how well Alpha performs on that day IMO. Therefore taking uncertainty into account I predict SDC 2 - 1 SSG.


None Shall Pass [NSP] vs [GPS] Giant Pea Shooters
This entire season for NSP is just getting Devastation in shape. How much is NSP willing to practice? A lot? If so, then NSP 2-0. If NSP doesn't practice as much or GPS gets insane team chemistry from all the practice, then I expect it to be GPS 2 - 0 NSP (1 tie).
NSP has the potential to be an insane team if they choose to be, though Dev only coming on for 1 hour at specific times probably doesn't help the team. If Xen chooses to practice more as well I think he'll create a wall of concrete. I have NO idea who will run for this team.

Saw some wumbo practices and they seems be strong on this map. Yorick's defend seems be very solid here. Ralphis will just run on yorick wall and water manage some tricky scores. 2-0 for WUMBO

DemonSphere, Dragon, Dranzer, Alpha vs Zakken, Wazzup, Tai, Dingdang
I know this is Dragon's best map and he really dislike lost this map. But Zakken has really ton of experience on this from tournaments and i think his strong defence will king here and in fact SSG is basically 2 man squad they will win "easy". 2-0 SDC

None Shall Pass [NSP] vs [GPS] Giant Pea Shooters
Rude, DevastatioN, Xenaero, Nub_hat vs Alt_Stab, Jwarrier, Legion, Starrk
Welp rude is really nice attacker on this map and Xenaero is one of the biggest fraggers in the league. All really only depend if Rude wake up DevastatioN then they will have no problem with zandro noob team. 2-0 NSP

[Alt_Stab]

Super Chargers [SUC] vs [WUMBO] Wumbologists
I think that these two teams are going to take a very similar approach to this map on game day, and that could make it very interesting. I could see there being multiple lead changes in this one. I think, ultimately, SUC will end up on top, say 2-1.

Sunday School Gangsters [SSG] vs [SDC] Stardust Crusaders
I have to agree with Water. This one will come down to Alpha. Personally, I think he's gonna bring his A game, and if that happens it could be good night nurse for SDC. I think the first game gets bogged down in frags, and could end in a tie, but eventually SDC will loosen up a bit and that's when SSG will take over and will win 2-0-1.

I can't comment on my game except to say that we're probably going to pea all over Rude's team.

Super Chargers [SUC] vs [WUMBO] Wumbologists
This will be an interesting match up on this week's map. Both teams has the raw power of fragging and playing smart. Water vs Ralphi$ Imma be on the look out for them rj's and smart plays. The outcome will be if either team has a single slip. BUT I'm going for Wumbo for the win 2 -0 - 1

Sunday School Gangsters [SSG] vs [SDC] Stardust Crusaders

None Shall Pass [NSP] vs [GPS] Giant Pea Shooters
I haven't seen NSP practice personally, but if Dev & Xen is up and ready on their date, it'll be a tough match up  for GPS. GPS does have the frag power for a defensive play, but will their O power be able to take down Dev/Xen frag power? I will bet my money on GPS for the uncertainty of preparations 2 - 1 - 0 GPS

Super Chargers [SUC] vs [WUMBO] Wumbologists
lol


Sunday School Gangsters [SSG] vs [SDC] Stardust Crusaders
If SSG logs more practice time, they win. It's really that simple. I think this game will be close. SDC over SSG 2-1


None Shall Pass [NSP] vs [GPS] Giant Pea Shooters
Again, practice time. Dev is a premier dueler but is he a premier CTF player? He was on a monster IDL championship team years ago with Jenova and RottKing but he doesn't necessarily have that luxury here. While Xen can fill a RottKing like void if you were to compare the teams, nobody is going to generate Jenova level offense. If NSP doesn't practice a lot, which I haven't seen them do yet, then GPS is going to win 2-0. SO, unless NSP starts practicing and proves me wrong, 2-0 for GPS

[Jwarrier]

Super Chargers [SUC] vs [WUMBO] Wumbologists
GPS has practiced against WUMBO on this map enough times to see they are a tough match-up for this map.  Water needs to break in a new team and I expect mistakes to be made.  Overall WUMBO will prevail with superior defense and tricky offense maneuvers.  2-1 WUMBO. 


Sunday School Gangsters [SSG] vs [SDC] Stardust Crusaders
We also had some practice time against SSG though never with key player Dragon.  Obviously a team with Dragon and DS has great potential, but it was starting to look bad with their third player being a mystery.  Then came Alpha with a sudden surge in skill.  He has played very impressive over the last week and I think they finally have that last peace of the puzzle.  For this reason I will go with SSG 1-0-2.
