Best Ever vs Demon SlayerS
I just don't see DMS have a chance here really, sorry DMS. I would love for you guys to clutch a point here, but BST is simply too coordinated. I've played with Cab in the past, both in league-play and with R. I think I can safely say that Cab is one of the easiest players to work with on voice and he has grade A(+) communication, calls and strategy.

BST 2 - 0

Super Chargers vs The Broomstick Warriors
Game of the week in my opinion. After seeing how SUC played in practice and then how they played in their actual game. I just don't know how they're gonna play this, at all. Ralphis has a way to put out, in my opinion, very unorthodox tactics. And most of the time it works!
But perhaps TBW is the team, to have such playstyle, to beat these guys.
This map is about item control. Who do you want on your team when it comes to a map about item control? Yes - Jwarrier. That man has in my opinion the best item control in the multiplayer Doom community, closely followed by no other than DevastatioN. This means TBW has what I think are the two best item-controlling players this game has to offer. TBW has all the potential in the world to fully, and I mean fully, control the pace of the game. If they manage, I honestly think they would win this 2 - 0. But because of Ralphis' ****** up way of putting up teamplay, I think they'll manage to snatch one round from TBW, after which TBW won't be happy and come back for the other two.

TBW 2 - 1

Ô Blésq Blom vs Giant Pea Shooters
The game of the "fallen titans". Both of them are sure as hell looking to rise up from their previous week's 0-2 losses.
I can't actually predict really at all here who I think will win, but I suppose I'll give it a try.
BQB needs to get one thing down in my opinion if they want to get back into this league, and that's defence. They get that, then they're good to go. Infer is similar to Cab in playstyle, yet so different. What I mean by that is that they have a way of simply knowing where to be at the right time, almost all the time. They got game sense like no other. Making them the most valuable players out there. Outsmarting these players is most of the time, not even worth trying.
GPS on the other hand have such raw power, on paper, it's insane. Denzoa and Xenaero has incredible aim and I think Ralphis put together a great name for a combo that could become extremely powerful: Xenzoa
Get Xenzoa down, make it work, or I see BQB take this win.

BQB 2 - 1

Tai's Only Fans vs Rip N Tear
Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy... Where do I start?
People who know me really really well... Should know that I have a sweet spot for a truly good defender. Stall is one of those. I just don't want to see him do anything else but defending because I think he does that magnificently, obviously that's not always the case because you have to do what works best for the team. But the way I look at it, I think RIP has one way I believe being superior over any other way of playing, and that is to station Stall at defence, Shane at mid and AVC on offense. We've seen AVC do some absolute crazy runs and with the help of Shane, they can do wonders.

On the other hand, you have a very similar team on red side... TOF.
TOF have an advantage in the middle here in my opinion, because Edd is a truly good player, an absoulte top player, but only when he feels like it. "Edd cares - Edd wins" pretty much. Does Edd have what it takes to carry this victory home? Well judging from my pervious statement, I think he does, if he cares to...
But it won't be easy. I think RIP has an advantage, even if small, on both of the remaining positions. So if RIP gets their game down, they will indeed Rip N Tear, if not... "Edd cares - Edd wins".

TOF 2 - 1

Now that we've had a chance to look at every team, here's how I see this week playing out.

Best Ever vs Demon SlayerS
The Demon SlayerS had a decent showing against TOF and were at least able to pick up a point in their loss. It appears that there is a making of a good team there. They have 4 capable players and I'd also love to see them find a way to get Dosu into the mix as well. They have time to build this season and hopefully they can pull it together for a playoff run.

Unfortunately, that feel good story doesn't start this week. As usual, the reigning champ RoSKing has put together a hell of a team and made quick work of his protege in the opening week. Greater challenges likely lie ahead for BST, but it won't be this week. DS will play formidably, but fall to BST.

BST 2-0

Sexual Panthers vs Steel Ball Runners
A juicy matchup between the Bones-led SXP and the Zakken-led SBR. SXP was able to secure a two round victory over a solid GPS squad in the opening week, while SBR fell to SUC.

Both teams have the tools here. SXP has the Bones/Dragon combo that has had a lot of success in the past. Tobi is a prospect that looks to be coming along. ShadowStalker is a great player that might see some action this week as well.

Zakken and Caution are two captain-level players that are looking to build more synergy as the season chugs along. Legion has been a mainstay on starting rosters for years at this point. SBR also recently picked up Fran from Free Agency so it'll be interesting to see if he gets any run.

Tough call. I think this will be a close game with randomness playing a big factor. SXP gets a close, hard fought win.

SXP 2-1

Ô Blésq Blom vs Giant Pea Shooters
This game ensures one thing - only one team can possibly finish this season with 0 points in the standings. Both teams suffered disappointing 2 round losses to start the season and have an opportunity to get back on track here.

There's no way around it, BQB was caught off guard and embarrassed in week 1. Yes, the team fell to BST in under 9 minutes. Is that the nail in the coffin? No, absolutely not. BQB has a rookie captain in Infer and he is surely going through the growing pains that many new captains do. Last week, he dealt with a major roster shakeup only 24 hours before the team's season opener. With a full week to work with Cartel and Starrk, I expect a much better showing.

On the other side of the map, Alt+Stab is one of the most tenured captains around. This is his 9th consecutive season as a captain so he understands when changes need to be made. Week 1 was turbulent. GPS is a team of 4 bonafide starters with large personalities - managing that is the key to success. SXP ran all over GPS in the first round of week 1 and then Stab changed to the XENZOA lineup for the second round. They came out of the gate up two flags but weren't able to hold SXP off for the entire round. Denzoa, Ghostkiller, and Xenaero are all strong players and Stab needs to figure out how to get them on the same page going forward. If he can, they will win. If he can't, this could be another cautionary tale of the "super team". I think they pull it together in the twilight hour and win in a close, 3-round game over BQB.

GPS 2-1

Tai's Only Fans vs Rip N Tear
Likely game of the week.

RIP was already part of what many onlookers considered an upset in week 1. The Boomstick Warriors handed RIP their first loss out of the gate. This was a surprise to many as RIP has been projected as the team to beat since the draft. Having watched this game back twice already, RIP did not play poorly but were simply overwhelmed by the offense of rookie Asriel. RIP is no joke - they're a team of highly competitive top level players and should be expected to get back on track.

However, they're going against TOF who has already been smashing teams (namely, mine) in practice. This map is practically built for TOF and they have a lot of experience on it. TOF was projected by many preseason prognosticators to be a middle of the pack team. If they lose this game, that could possibly hold true. Don't count on it though because TOF is winning this week's game with authority. In fact, they're going to win this game in two rounds and continue to shake up the league-wide expectations for this season.

RIP is going to make the playoffs with a nice seed and possibly go deep. They're going to be fine because they're simply too talented, experienced, and smart. But reality can be cruel: RIP is going to start the season 0-2. Lock of the week.

TOF 2-0

Whoops I'm late... rip my predictions for SBR vs SUC... Sorry!!!

DS v TOF
While my initial thoughts here that TOF would easily take the money, i've practiced with DS; They show a lot of potential, and I think it's possible if they continue to figure things out... however it's the beginning of the season, and I have to go with my gut on what feels right...

TOF 2 - 1 DS

RIP vs BW
I have watched RIP play, and I've felt out BW... All I can say is that RIP has had a strong showing and BW has felt a little lack luster. It's week one and I'm sure that as we progress we will see teams develop more. But given what I'm feeling...

RIP 2 - 0 BW

GPS vs SXP
Match of the week in my opinion (SUC vs SBR was actually another great showing) but we really get to see how strong both of these teams are and how well they coordinate together. It's a toss up for me, I have no idea. GPS sounds so good on paper, but it's hard to see them actually meshing well. SXP I know has great synergy between dragon and bones, but making their third work is a completely different story... I predict a tie.

GPS 1 - 1 -1 SXP

DS vs TOF
I currently have TOF has the highest rated team in the league, but that's on paper. Being strong on paper doesn't always translate to wins. It will come down to Edd. Edd can one of the best when he cares, but if he starts to get bored then goodnight TOF. DS looks good on paper as well. Not as strong, though. Alpha will have a tough decision of whom to play as his 3rd. Dranzer & Hate should no doubt be the starters, but who takes that final spot? Chances are it won't matter against this powerful team, but it will later on down the road. Plenty of time to figure that out. TOF wins this. 2-0 TOF

RIP vs BW
Not the way you want your season to start, playing against probably the favorite to win it all. While I have TOF the highest rated team, I have RIP being in the title game. Their opponent is a mix of four teams. We'll see how that goes. RIP really hasn't practice, while BW has what seems like every day. But honestly, they don't need it. They're all vets. Get a couple of warm up rounds in before their game, and they're good to do. Who BW decides to go with as their 3rd will be interesting. Asriel, solid player, underrated, but never has played on Oda or at least hasn't in years. And he's going up against one of the better defenders out there, assuming he's running. Godlike can be great when he wants to but has been out of the game for a while, not just in Oda, but in Doom in general. Godlike is a better communicator, but I believe Asriel may give them a slight edge in overall player strength. It depends on which Godlike shows up. However, I do believe it will be Asriel. Though, Like DS, it probably won't matter too much. RIP is too strong. BW does have Dev, the best player Doom and Jwar, a top 10 player. That alone will keep them competitive, at least in game one, but RIP settles in and cruises to a comfortable game 2 victory. 2-0 RIP

GPS vs SXP
Vet caps going head-to-head. GPS looks insane on paper. Super strong fraggers and excellent communicators. If I had to guess, I'd say Denz will probably get benched for this one. It did appear they did quite well with Xen & GK. But Alt benching himself wouldn't surprise me though. Denz is too good of player to bench, so tough call for Stab. Bones & Dragon teaming up again. Dragon & Bones some of the best overall players in the game and a good duo. Tobi, didn't know much about him until I saw him playing during the MDF games. Appears to be a solid player, good fragger and runner. Definitely flew under the radar. I'm sure this trio was the plan from the start, and we'll see if it pays off. Not sure what to expect. We'll probably see what most have been doing, at least in practice. A solo defender with two runners. One goes for the flag, the other clears the path for him. This game might be harder to predict than the SBR/SUC game especially since I don't know who the starting lineup for GPS will be. I'm predicting a tie here.

I'll come back later with the rest of my predictions, but I'll go ahead and post my SBR/SUC one now since they play tonight.

SBR vs SUC
This is a very hard game to predict. Both teams are super strong. SBR has players who've all won WDL titles, but how are they making the transition from Zan to Oda? It's been a while since they've played here. I think I'm going with my gut and say SUC will take game one, but SBR adjusts and takes games two & three to get the series win. SBR 2-1 over SUC.

Coming back after 2 years, the WDL season starts off with a banger. SBR vs SUC

Friday Night SmackDown
SBR vs SUC
Both veteran captains coming into this season seeking for WDL glory, like any other captain. After playing against both teams, I believe it'll be an exciting opener, both teams have quality players in their respective positions. It'll be a close match for sure, unless Prime activates UBER LAG mode, then SUC got it in the bag. Because they got my boii Prime, I'm edging on their side for this week.
SUC 2-1 

Triple Threat Saturday
GPS vs SXP
I can't really say much on their teams, since I haven't practiced with them, yet. Stab has a frag heavy defense, so Dragon will have a tough time getting flags out, but Dragon has a solid defender in his corner as well, captain himself, BoneR. For this week, I'm giving it to SXP with Dragon bringing it home.
SXP 2-1

DS vs TOF
:)
lol I open on the same map from my first season as cap D:! I'm looking forward to Edd's content. Content.

BQ vs BST
I personally haven't seen BQ practice, so I really can't say much.. BST is obviously a title contender, so it'll be a tough opener for BQ. Having played against such a strong team, BST, I'm giving them the win this week. But bet your money Infer ain't letting his fellow R companion off with a W so easily, they'll fight back, but RoS takes the W D:!
BST 2-0
 
Father's Day Special 
RIP vs BW
"Rookie" Captain Stall opens his WDL glory playing against Dev. Bet your ass this match will be frag heavy with just the two of them alone! It'll literally come down to the runner's support stopping the opposition's team from getting the flag back from the base. So this will be an exciting match to end the week. But I give Dev the W having a fragger as a support, Jwar.
BW 2-1
