[size=3][b]The Cult of Bestism vs BrokeBack Cowboys[/b][/size]<br /><br />This match-up is remarkably even. The euro bout goes to BBC while the intelligence bout goes to TCB. For this map I&#039;d say smarts is pretty important so I&#039;m going to give it to TCB. If Saber and X-Ray can maintain their connections they should have their way with BBC.<br /><br />[u]TCB 2-0[/u]<br /><br />[size=3][b]Contraband vs Ricochet Rockets [/b][/size]<br /><br />This is a funny matchup. It is my opinion that CTB is overrated. I think higgs got a lot of good press for not that stellar of play. Let&#039;s hope he can shove that in my face a little. Fortunately for him RR doesn&#039;t have a well defined defense. Mass is capable, as is Gilgamesh or Rust, but none of those guys are premier defensive talents. On the other side you have two defensive juggernauts. At first glance this looks like a landslide for CTB but I don&#039;t think Dev has played the map enough yet to really be able to dominate it. Bones gave himself a scheduling nightmare with who he drafted so practices may be few and far between. If RR can use vent effectively and practice this coming week they should be able to hand CTB their first loss of the seaon.<br /><br />[u]RR 2-1[/u]<br /><br />[size=3][b]Mass Destruction vs Fnordy Niners[/b][/size]<br /><br />MAD is the worst team in the league this season...which is actually really amazing. This team is not bad, we just have a really stacked season this year and DG choose to take Dragan (again) instead of someone better (KF, Bloodstrike, Reckless, Fast, Denny). A few problems arise when doing this. First, those brothers live together. That means if anything blips on their connection, it&#039;s a swift and immediate loss. This is one of the reasons I decided not to draft Ladna. The second problem is that you let people who picked before you in the 1st round and after you in the second have better players than you. Big mistake. I&#039;m not going to say I think KNF is good but I think they have a good shot at winning this one.<br /><br />[u]KNF 2-0[/u]<br /><br />[size=3][b]Plasmadicks United vs Super Chargers[/b][/size]<br /><br />People are trashing SUC this season even though SUC is the most successful team in IDL history and is captained by one of the most prolific players in IDL history. As if that wasn&#039;t enough, Ralph has Oath. Oath is ridiculous. With a very small amount of practice he&#039;s a top 5 runner in IDL. That puts them in contention immediately. Unfortunately Ralph blew his 2nd round pick big time. Clim is not only a flake, when he does show up he&#039;s not that good. Donut was a great pick but he&#039;s not an IDL quality 3rd right now. He&#039;d need a lot of practice. Fortunately he&#039;ll get it because Clim is such a flake.<br /><br />PDU on the other hand is a rocking team. Ladna will decide the fate of this team. If he slacks off (and he will) they&#039;ll lose games. He has to get back into IDL shape asap. If he&#039;s the player he was a year ago, PDU will be a contender. If he&#039;s not, PDU will do about as well as they did last season. I personally think Ladna won&#039;t be ready for another couple weeks so I&#039;m calling this one for SUC.<br /><br />[u]SUC 2-0[/u]<br /><br />[size=3][b]Killing Browns vs Philanthropic Blowhards[/b][/size]<br /><br />Tai is a bad captain. The reason he&#039;s a bad captain is because he&#039;s very stupid. Luckily he&#039;s pretty good at doom. Blair will be Blair at mid, not elite but solid enough 80% of the time, and Junior will decide if his team wins by being amazing or not. Unfortunately they play PBH on a map LB can win 1v3. GG.<br /><br />[u]PBH 2-0[/u]<br /><br />[size=3][b]Super Shotgun Spurs vs We&#039;re All Doomed[/b][/size]<br /><br />I&#039;m going to dominate Hatred and dash his dreams of a perfect season before they can lose to the Kansas City Chiefs later on. <br /><br />[u]WAD 99999-0[/u]
