So yeah, it&#039;s about time I start doing predictions. : )<br /><br />[center][img]http://xenaero.googlepages.com/BrokeBackCowboys-small.png[/img] [size=15pt]-vs-[/size] [img]http://xenaero.googlepages.com/BerserkerPackers-small.png[/img]<br />[color=red][size=3][u][b]SPOT LIGHT GAME[/b][/u][/size][/color][/center]<br /><br />Well, considering the Beserker Packers [s]gave away[/s] traded Fast, it&#039;s hard to think of what clear advantage they have against BBC, anymore. None the less, they got a true (but effective?) runner in Rosebird in the trade, which leaves me to wonder who exactly defends on this map. I mean, sure, Chaotix or Shakal could probably do a fine job of escorting Rosebird in and out of these Oda02 bases, which I promise will be covered in blood at the end of the week. But, is there a true defender on this team? Do you need one? <br /><br />Well, whether they have one or not, if there&#039;s one team which they&#039;ll need a good defender against, it&#039;s against the Brokeback Cowboys. Very competent fragging team who will leave teams respawning to their bases faster than....I do?&nbsp; ;D Still, there&#039;s no doubt in my mind that no matter who&#039;s left to defend their flag, the other two players will make it hell for the opposing defense. Not a fun team to play unless you have the same firepower.<br /><br />[i]This isn&#039;t the type of map you want to face a team like the Cowboys in, [b]period[/b]. Rosebird is good, but she won&#039;t provide the fragging power that BSK would need to beat BBC here. Sorry Packers, but prepare to be packed in by the Brokeback Cowboys. See what I did there?<br />[center][b]BBC 2-0 BSK[/b][/center]<br /><br />[center][img]http://xenaero.googlepages.com/ElectricBills-small.png[/img] [size=15pt]-vs-[/size] [img]http://xenaero.googlepages.com/DoomRaiders-small.png[/img][/center]<br /><br />If there was a team I&#039;d have to pick with &quot;Most to prove&quot;, I&#039;d easily have to say it&#039;s the Doom Raiders. Can Dragan come back in the league after being banned for a couple of seasons and prove he can play well, let alone without hacking? A similar question can be asked for Blair, although thankfully no one will suspect he hacks, but he was banned for a couple of season for inactivity. Can he bounce back and prove he&#039;s still a lethal defender, or anything? On top of all this, one has to wonder if they can support the flag runner, no matter who that is. <br /><br />The Electric Bills, on the other hand, don&#039;t have as much to prove, except the question of whether they can return to the IDC Championship. Their team, on paper, definitely looks like it can. Returning captain Xenaero brings back Collision and acquired Midian in a franchise pick. Round that out with Skulltag stand-out Legion, and you have a pretty dangerous team. Considering Xen can defend pretty well, you have 3 players who can wreck havoc in the opposing teams&#039; bases when their powers are combined. Oh noes, I have to play this team [b]twice[/b]?!&nbsp; :&#039;(<br /><br />[i]This won&#039;t be pretty. At all.[/i]<br />[center][b]EBL 2-0 DMR[/b][/center]<br /><br />[center][img]http://xenaero.googlepages.com/SpreadEagles-small.png[/img] [size=15pt]-vs-[/size] [img]http://xenaero.googlepages.com/KillingBrowns-small.png[/img][/center]<br /><br />I&#039;ll predict that the team with the most flags will win. Oh, and Xen can suck me. : ) <br /><br />[center][b]SPE 0-2 KGB[/b][/center]<br />[i]What you didn&#039;t predict I&#039;d say that?

You have Whiteboy who can, to be quite honest, play both sides well, but if he attacks, are the other players capable of protecting the base when &quot;daddy&#039;s brought a brand new flag&quot;? Looks like he&#039;ll have to be the one to stay home. Besides, we all know Gyross is the real ghost of CTF&#039;s past, what with him lagging around the server, and of course someone likes that has to attack. And then there&#039;s Saber, who will probably just frag shit like a raged beserker. Wait...that doesn&#039;t mean the CAPTAIN will sit, does it? Oh wait...doesn&#039;t Ladna always do that? <br /><br />That leaves SUC, led by the former FLS captain Ralphis and replacing Nostar, his franchise pick. One must wonder who the real captain is. : ) Rounding out the roster is Fastidious, acquired by [s]cheating[/s] trade, and Euro player Dew. From players 1-3, we have a very fraggy team who can leave players licking their [s]holes[/s] wounds, leaving Dew, and you know how those Euros roll. I also feel that team can be very diverse if it so chooses, with Ralphis or Nostar has potential defenders, maybe even Fast, while the guy that doesn&#039;t defend can probably help support the attacker (as long as that support isn&#039;t Nostar lolz). <br /><br />[i]Against SUC, I sense that FLS will be shedding a lot of tears at not getting a lot of flag touches, while I think Whiteboy himself won&#039;t stop some very good fraggers from doubling him up like a ragdoll.
