With a loss this week however, there is simply no chance of that happening.<br /><br />	The Spread Eagles definitely have a frag advantage over the Berserker Packers coming into map05, in fact, some question whether the Packers are anything more than hype, since their only win is against the Doom Raiders, one of two winless teams in the IDL.&nbsp; They need to win this week to keep the divisional race alive and to show why they were ranked #1 coming into week 3.&nbsp; The Packers really need to gel as a team and lay out a good plan if they are going to take this one home.<br /><br />	Map05 is probably the best map to turn the Packer season around on, dark and confined, easy to defend but difficult to clear, and most importantly, lots of ways to leave the base.&nbsp; The Spread Eagles love to push a unified front into enemy territory and I am not so certain they will be able to this week, when it would benefit them most.&nbsp; Jenova or Sabertooth will likely attack the side tunnel, forcing the Eagles to defend their base.&nbsp; Hopefully when this happens, Stallion will push up to their base entrance while Jenova grabs and two eagles chase Sabertooth in the back room.<br /><br />[center][i]A close set, ultimately the Packers excel in a more individual setting while the Eagles flounder and fall from the sky.[/i]<br />[b]SPE 1-2 BSK[/b][/center]<br /><br />[center][img]http://xenaero.googlepages.com/DoomRaiders-small.png[/img] [size=15pt]-vs-[/size] [img]http://xenaero.googlepages.com/KillingBrowns-small.png[/img]<br />[color=red][size=3][u][b]GAME OF THE WEEK[/b][/u][/size][/color][/center]<br /><br />	This is again, a map almost tailor made for the Doom Raiders, dark, cramped, confusing, all things which spell success against the blissfully unaware team that is the Killing Browns.&nbsp; That is certainly not to say this week will be easy, even if KGB can&#039;t manage to focus on what is happening, Joshsmith and Strangle/X-Ray running will Tai holds down the fort will not be an easy nut to crack.&nbsp; Goatface will have to excel on running, playing slow and inconsistently to throw off Tai&#039;s defense to get free flags.&nbsp; If there was ever a week to show that Quiksilver deserved to be drafted, this is it.&nbsp; If Hatred and Quiksilver can team up to turn the middle and their base into a KGB cemetary, Goatface will surely be able to beat Tai enough times to bring their first win home.<br /><br />	However, the Browns are no slouches and relying on your opponent to make a mistake is usually much less effective than forcing them to make a mistake.&nbsp; If Joshsmith shows up this week and Strangle plays a good support/distraction role, they will probably break a less experienced Hatred/Quiksilver before Goatface can get Tai in a good rhythm and start scoring.<br /><br />[center][i]The Doom Raiders come ever closer in their search for gold, but sadly this week is not it.[/i]<br />[b]DMR 1-2 KGB[/b][/center]<br /><br />[center][img]http://xenaero.googlepages.com/ElectricBills-small.png[/img] [size=15pt]-vs-[/size] [img]http://sites.google.com/site/xenaero/BrokeBackCowboys-small.png[/img][/center]<br /><br />[center][b]:)[/b][/center]<br /><br />[center][img]http://xenaero.googlepages.com/SuperChargers-small.png[/img] [size=15pt]-vs-[/size] [img]http://xenaero.googlepages.com/FlagSteelers-small.png[/img][/center]<br /><br />	This will be an interesting test for the Flag Steelers.&nbsp; Was last week a fluke or are they capable of pulling together as a team to overcome adversity?&nbsp; Week 1 says no, and they will be tested to the limit as arguable FLS MVP Ladna leaves them this week to get drunk and play with fireworks (possibly lighting his chair and himself on fire in the process leading to season injury, corrective surgery and downward FLS spiral)&nbsp; This will certainly not be an easy map either, poor visibility favors inconsistent, surging runners like Gyrossman and Ralphis.&nbsp; I am not certain either team will be able to put up an effective defense if Ralphis and LordBritish both run.&nbsp; Ralphis at the mouth of the Supercharger entrance will certainly put a damper on LordBritish&#039;s enthusiasm and might stop him dead in his tracks for the majority of the match.&nbsp; Perhaps we will see a return of OurHero, after a pretty good showing last week against the Doom Raiders, he deserves it for nothing else other than bailing SUC out!<br /><br />	The hero of this match will assuredly have to be RUS.&nbsp; He will have to show up, kick SUC&#039;s ass, then kick it again three more times so LB can get out of the base and score.&nbsp; If anybody is capable of doing this, its Rambo, the man with Bear DNA, flying around like a piece of shrapnel inside the Supercharger&#039;s warm corpse.&nbsp; WraithVerge isn&#039;t a pushover either, but his inexperience is telling, and counting on him to make clutch plays will certainly backfire on the Steelers this week.&nbsp; He should probably be kept home knitting, maybe playing sniper from the battlements and chasing any attackers who reach the base.<br /><br />[center][i]The Steelers will put up a valiant fight, but without Ladna they are simply dead in the water as there is only so much Bear DNA to go around[/i]<br />[b]FLS 0-2 SUC[/b][/center]
