These two teams are full of CTF vets facing off on one of the (if not _the_) classic Doom CTF maps of this generation of Doomers. When you get down to it, these teams both have immense power on this map. On KGB&#039;s end; Tai is a natural defender, Caboose is an insanely good runner on this map, and DemonSphere has great fragging power for supporting in the middle. However one weak point is Caboose&#039;s reliability. He&#039;s been pulling a few no-shows for KGB&#039;s games recently, and is showing signs of not giving a fuck. If Caboose doesn&#039;t show/doesn&#039;t play up to his normal performances, KGB is absolutely fucked. Without Caboose&#039;s running, KGB cannot win this. Tai better do all he can to make sure Cab shows up for this. On SUC&#039;s end; Ralphis is...well, he&#039;s Ralphis and is probably the single greatest all-around player in the IDL. LordBritish, the #1 draft pick this season, ain&#039;t nothin&#039; to fuck with either. Dew is the only outlier in this matchup, being a euro and all, and I think his performance this week will play an extremely crucial role in the outcome of this match. Ralphis is pretty confident that SUC is going to win, so I see him playing extremely hard in order for his ass to cash the checks his mouth has been writing to Tai in #idl. SUC doesn&#039;t have clear-cut default positions for their lineup like KGB, but I would imagine on this map Ralph is gonna be running while LB defends and has Dew supporting. The two teams are about even in offense with Tai and LB, about even in offense with Cab and Ralph, but I think DS will play a stronger mid than Dew. I&#039;m getting a better vibe from the Cab+DS combo than I am from the Ralph+Dew combo. Ultimately, I think KGB&#039;s *slightly* better offense on this map will earn them the win over SUC, although whoever does win it will be close, so very close.<br /><br />KGB 2-1-1<br /><br />[center][size=3][color=red][b]World Doom Conference Wildcard Round[/b][/color][/size]<br />BBC homefield, ZDCTF MAP08 - Something Epic[/center]<br /><br />[left][b]Brokeback Cowboys[/b][/left]<br />[left]ThatsJustPrime, X-Ray, Fluffles, Killforce[/left]<br />[center]vs[/center]<br />[right][b]Berserker Packers[/b][/right]<br />[right]SoulSucka, HeX9109, Watermelon, Spider[/right]<br /><br />Normally I would say both teams had a rough time making it here, but with MAD having the rough season it did, I guess this matchup was obvious from like Week 4. BBC was barely able to claim their homefield of ZDCTF MAP08, and it&#039;s going to be interesting to see this match unfold. BSK pulled off a surprisingly good performance against BBC last week on MAP31, although that map is one of the typical grindfest maps that allows weaker teams to excel on. Even still, Team Newcomers has proven to have some decent player chemistry, probably because they all come from Skulltag(/Zandronum) and are used to playing with each other over in the ST priv scene. However on this tell-tale classic map, I think the much more seasoned CTF vets on BBC are going to have a much easier time here. Prime is a very good defender, Fluffles has some crazy good fragging power for a euro, and X-Ray is a natural runner on this map. Especially on their own homemap, BBC is sure to be much more organized having every player knowing exactly what to do - and they will do it well. Soul is a good defender, but X-Ray will most definitely get past him eventually. I do not see Watermelon and Hex getting past Fluffles and Prime, at all. They&#039;re going to have an extremely tough time getting in and out of BBC&#039;s base, whereas X-Ray will have an easier time making his way through BSK&#039;s base. All in all, I think BBC will outperform BSK in all aspects, but BSK has surprised us all before and could pull something out that just might be game-changer. But in all likelihood, BBC is going to clean house and move on to the WDC Finals to face SXP.<br /><br />BBC 2-0-1
