It&#039;s quarter to 6AM so my predictions might be a little sloppy, but whatever.<br /><br />[b]Killing Browns[/b] vs [b]Super Shotgun Spurs[/b]<br />[i]Tai, Cab, DS[/i] vs [i]Hate, Shak, Coll[/i]<br /><br />KGB&#039;s lineup is good on paper, however I was unaware Caboose even played Doom anymore, and DemonSphere is still relatively new to the IDL scene. They&#039;re both fairly good players on their own, but we&#039;ll see how much their absence from the priv/IDL scene in recent years hurts them. Meanwhile defending champs SGS look mean as ever with IDL vet Shakal and long-time player Collision at the side of one of the strongest captains in the league, Hatred. Caboose is a good runner when he wants to be, and I think if he brings his A-game to this match, they have a chance at winning this. Tai is a renown defender holding down KGB&#039;s base, so the true wildcard here is how well DS supports his teammates. Shakal is known for whoring powerups, something this map has plenty of, so it&#039;s going to be a tough time for KGB, but if they play hard and smart enough, a win this week is definitely possible. But unlikely.<br /><br />SGS 2-0<br /><br />[b]Mass Destruction[/b] vs [b]Super Chargers[/b]<br />[i]DG, Clim, Xyl[/i] vs [i]Ralph, LB, Reck/Dew[/i]<br /><br />I&#039;m good friends with Clim and Xyl so naturally I&#039;m rooting for MAD here, however I think SUC has the upper-hand in this matchup. Ralph and LB are both very powerful and versatile players who can play any position and do it well. It doesn&#039;t matter who their 3rd is because that duo is full of force. And on a map with multiple powerups. If Ralph and LB can control the mega, it&#039;s all over. With Ralph/LB on O/D and Reck or Dew supporting, MAD is going to have an extremely tough time not only getting through SUC&#039;s defense, but fending off SUC&#039;s offense. Tony, Xyl I love you guys but I just don&#039;t see MAD winning this week, especially on this map.<br /><br />SUC 2-0<br /><br />[b]Beserker Packers[/b] vs [b]Sexual Panthers[/b]<br />[i]Soul, Blood, Hex/Gax[/i] vs [i]Bones, Rust, Legion[/i]<br /><br />I&#039;m not a huge fan of BSK&#039;s lineup, there&#039;s no real offensive power and only one star player. Blood is one of the best fraggers in the league, so he can cover either D or mid no problem, but I don&#039;t see Soul, Hex or Gax doing very well on O at all. I would guess Soul will plump himself on D, with Hex or Gax trying to run and Blood supporting them as much as he can. Either that or placing Blood on D while both Soul and Hex/Gax try to duo-run. Either way Blood can&#039;t carry the whole team, not on this map. SXP is likely going to tear through BSK.<br /><br />SXP 2-0<br /><br />[b]Brokeback Cowboys[/b] vs [b]We&#039;re All Doomed[/b]<br />[i]Prime, X-Ray, Fluffles[/i] vs [i]Stall, Saber, Nosturi[/i]<br /><br />Game of the week, definitely. This is the only somewhat even match, the only one where there&#039;s not a nearly-guaranteed victor. Both teams are pretty even lineup-wise with fraggers X-Ray and Stall on the defenses, all-around players Prime and Saber in supporting roles, and both teams topping it off with a Euro offense with Fluffles and Nosturi. However on this tricky powerup map, I can see Saber and Nosturi out-playing the fraggy Prime and Fluffles who try to brute force their way through. Plus with Stall, arguably the best defender in the league currently on defense, Fluffles isn&#039;t going to have an easy time.<br /><br />WAD in two long, dragged-out games.
