America's Army: GotFrag Predictions: CAL-I Week 4

By: Louis Brill - Published November 12, 2008 at 12:12 AM EST - Writer Archive
As CAL Invite gears up for their fourth week of matches, GotFrag unveils their predictions for this week!


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 Weapons Cache. Although a defensive sided map, Weapons Cache can be played many different ways. It will be interesting to see the variety of strategies used this week. Weapons Cache usually boils down to an initial rush by the assault team, then sneaking into the defensive line and making a final push for the primary objective. Both teams will have an armory of frag and flash grenades at their disposal. Although grenades are abundant, players must use these tools efficiently to gain ground and defend objectives.

 Jon "Jonny" Lundquist of Audigy Gaming and Joseph "Noofy" King of Mediocrity will be joining us for predictions this week.


Just Cause Project vs. Mediocrity!


Just Cause Project always seems consistent and comes prepared with a strong starting roster. Many players cannot name a single map jCp is bad on, and if there is - Weapons Cache is not one of them. Spanker, Rabb, and Noofy have just returned from a brief break from America's Army, but that may not be good enough to overcome jCp.

Mediocrity might have their starting roster for this match. If Rabb and Noofy hold down the fort, Mediocrity could take this one. However, jCp is practicing nonstop for this match with no end in sight.  jCp will be able to secure the win after an intense battle.

This will be a really good match up... if med decides to be try-hards, they could win. But let's be real for a moment: if I play, we're winning.... SO WHAT IF I GLITCH!?!?!? LOL
 
 
med stands no chance against the 60 hour a week mutants, they might as well not even show up.







       

Audigy vs. epiC 


epiC has a history of being a solid and capable team, but this week most likely will not be theirs. epiC has lost some of their starting players, and with 2 forfeit losses it doesn't seem like they will even bother playing the remainder of the season. Audigy on the other hand is not dead by any means. This match should be a no-brainer.

epiC has died. On the contrary, I will be surprised if Audigy will even show up to take the forfeit win.

With WC being a defensive sided map, Audigy will have the experience to sweep defense - and with Jonny's trickery, Proton's marching, MoFo's marijuana, and Hendrix's downs, I am certain aud should take this if they really want to. 
 
 
I heard epiC died, but if the terrible idiots are still alive, they will get romped upon by never before seen marches.






 

IceNine vs. No Said Date

IceNine and No Said Date are two teams that have sparked some controversy since their appearances in CAL Invite. IceNine did extremely well last season, proving that they belong in Invites as well as upsetting some top teams. No Said Date has just experienced a rebirth and is willing to put up a fight and put plenty of hours in for practice. Some members of the America's Army community believe that IceNine and No Said Date are harboring cheaters. Nonetheless, it will be intriguing to predict and see the results of this matchup.

No Said Date is prepared for this one. As far as I know, there is no fog on Weapons Cache. No Said Date will take this by a hefty margin.

I heard wh!z was kidnapped by terrorists, so I don't rightly know if they will be able to pull this off. It really depends on who nsd has playing for them and if their super-try-hard meter is skyrocketing come match night.
 
 
This match all depends on who decides to cheat. If whiz cheats, i9 will win, if illusion aka flip cheats, then nsd will win. If they both cheat, then this will be quite a battle in which nsd takes the crown as they have a better roster in general.






                                                   

 

No Excuses vs. Ironmen (iNNo)

Last week, Ironmen took a huge win over IceNine. Sultan Zeratul's confidence is optimal at the moment, which could prove deadly if he launches a Jihad against nOEx. nOEx has lost Solidus, Mechy, Firebird, and Conman. Although their roster and activity has taken a beating, they could still rally their troops and put up a fight against Ironmen. nOEx has a long-lasting reputation of being a top tier team with good teamwork and comms, so perhaps their teamwork will give them this match. Will the European prone warriors be able to hold their ground on Weapons Cache? This interesting match-up should answer that question.

Solidus, Mechy, and Firebird have left nOEx. Although they are suffering from inactivity, they could still pull this one off if quick makes an appearance. This match-up will be close, but nOEx will take this eventually.

I have been away for a little while so I don't know much about this new euro squad playing in NA Invite. But from what I've heard, they are some of the biggest try-hards ever to grace the electronic canvas of the AA battlefields. They have to stay up till maybe 3 or 4 AM their time to play these NA matches, so I am going to BOLDLY predict that ANYONE who has the will to stay up that late to play a match will probably win.
 
 
The Euros will win this one as I believe nOEx is slowly dying, their great warrior mechy called it quits, quick asked me to join Audigy today, and xto went to join i9, so I assume somebody got him nerd raged like usual, leaving a bunch of terrible idiots on the roster.
