Mashtuur City is where this match will be decided, and the co-ordination between infantry and armour will be key, and should decide the match. The key flag, other than the two mainbases, is the mosque flag, which is where the majority of the forces will be sent at the beginning of the round, and we could well see the Road Construction ignored. Both mainbases spawn a TOW, which aims at the Mosque; The flag from the Hotel (MEC base), and the road between South Block (US Main) and Mosque from South Block. They also spawn a tank, jeep and APC. South Block has a distict disadvantage as it only has the 2 spawnpoints which are very easily blocked/spawnraped, where as the Hotel has an open flagradius. The Hotel also has a mounted machine gun, which can point between the Mosque and South Block, and along to Road Construction.


Delta:
Code7 vs The Skunks
The Skunks will be disappointed to meet Code7 on this map, as they are normally quite strong on this map, but I cannot see any clan in the World able to beat Code7, with their excellent teamplay and infantry skills, along with JaZzE in the APC, on this map, which they will be practising extremely hard for the World Tournament Final.
Baldrick's Prediction: Code7 > Skunks


Gamma:
dirty sniper ratz vs redCode Electronic Sports
Dirty Sniper Rats are becoming an excellent team, and they have a number of exceptional infantry players. redCode seem to lack something extra special in the infantry department, though they have picked up Elite from MPUK to boost that department. This will be a close game, but I'll go with the powerful dsr on this one.
Baldrick's Prediction: dsr > redCode

Estonian Special Forces vs Artes Moriendi
2 teams, who I am finding very hard to gague their skill-level recently, and this match on a balaknced map should give a further indication. Expect the winner of this to advance into the playoffs, as this is one of those games you cannot afford to lose.
Baldrick's Prediction: ESF > ArMs

Omega:
Xtreme Gaming Xperience vs Team LeGion
Team Legion prefer airmaps, and even then, they would find this match difficult, as xGx are a very strong side, and they should be able to take a convincing win this week to propell themselves forward at the top of the group.
Baldrick's Prediction: xGx > LeGion
