As we saw last season, GotFrag will be using its new prediction format that we premiered last season. This prediction format will deliver short and sweet descriptions of each match from the GotFrag staff. We will be bringing in a guest predictor each week, and each predictor has one sentence to predict an outcome on a match and why. Stay locked on GotFrag this season to keep tabs on some of the best teams in the game as they fight for a playoff seed in CAL-I Season 10!

This week's match will be played on Pipeline, one of the most popular competitive maps. This map used to be heavily dominated by the Defense, but as  the assaulting teams have proven: rounds can be won on either side by using smokes and securing each valve.

This week's guest predictor is Chris "chrones" Sansone from Mediocrity.

epiC has made some interesting changes during the downtime we have had between leagues. It will be interesting to see how the team's new players will react to the challenge of being in Invite. The team was originally supposed to face Dropouts, but earlier today, they were moved to an inactive state. epiC will now face IceNine. This team used to be one of the most feared teams when it came to Pipeline. They seem to be pretty active this season, so we'll see how they do.

This will be one of epiC's easiest Invite matches, but I don't see them beating i9 on Pipeline.	Not i9's best map, not sure who starts for them lately, but I see them choking this one. The dogs epiC will squeak it out 8-6.	All you need to know is wh!z will be on top of break room stairs with the AR, and [he] will mow down misery and company.   9-5

   
       

Just Cause Project has just come off two championships with CAL-I and CEVO's FREEDOM tournament. They will definitely put the time and effort into making sure that they stay one of the Top 3 teams in the league. Innovation, which has dubbed the name "Ironmen" this season, is comprised of a lot of EU players this season. It will be interesting to see how serious they will take the season.. and how they will play considering they will be playing on NA servers.

jCp takes this one due to iNNo being comprised of EU players who are playing on NA servers.	jCp will be taken by surprise and make a typical comeback to force OT where they will take it. The Euros will be proud of this result.	These Euros are the biggest try-hard nerds I have ever met on the internet, but I feel the Euro crawl will be no match for jCp.   8-6

                                                                             

Audigy has made their way back to AA, and they have stated that they hope to come back permanently. With the talent of their starting four, they will clearly be a top contender this season. No Said Date has also returned to the game with a talented roster. It will be interesting to see how far these two returned teams can make it into the season.

Karmakaze	Mr.Clean	chrones
This is going to be a really good matchup. I think Audigy will pull ahead by just 1 or 2 rounds.	This is the toughest one to call simply because I'm not sure whether either of these teams are at the top of their game right now. There will be screw ups and there will be clutches, lets go with Audigy.	I don't think either team really cares too much about the game right now but I'm going to go with Audigy.

                                                   

No Excuses is comprised of Redemption and former Final Destination players. They are no strangers to competition and should hold their own this season. Mediocrity is no stranger to competition either. They made it all the way to CAL-I's Finals match last season. Both teams will surely make this season of CAL-I a great one.

This is definitely Match of the Week material. I can see nOEx upsetting Mediocrity as even they have said that they aren't that great at Pipeline.	nOEx is pretty decent on pipe, so unless med has their best roster, they will lose this match by a few rounds, 9-5 sounds right.	I didn't get a chance to get my 40 hours in and we aren't a very good team on Pipe to begin with. We wont have Rabb and, possibly, no spanker, so I can easily see nOEx taking this.   8-6
