Counter-Strike: WEG2005 Season 2 Semi-Final Predictions

By: Gotfrag Announcements - Published June 25, 2005 at 1:32 PM EDT - Writer Archive
Stuart Brooks is bringing us predictions of the semi-finals for the WEG. Four teams remain, who will win? Will it be AbitStrike, Begrip, Catch-Gamer, or the Four Kings?
By: Stuart Brooks

4Kings versus Catch-Gamer

Both 4Kings and Catch-Gamer deserve to be in this match as they have outplayed every team they have faced so far in the second group stage. 4Kings played spectacularly against AbitStrike today to secure the top spot in their group. They looked just plain scary on Dust2, winning 13-5. 4K looked well-groomed in their matches on Dust2 and Train, but they haven't played an official match on Nuke yet this season of WEG. Catch-Gamer might be able to capitalize on 4K's lack of practice on Nuke, since Catch has only had one loss on Nuke in official matches. It will really come down to whoever can become hot and stay hot throughout the best of 3 format. I think 4K will just be too strong for Catch-Gamer as they are playing almost untouchable Counter-Strike right now.

4Kings > Catch-Gamer on de_dust2 13-7
4Kings > Catch-Gamer on de_nuke 13-10
4Kings > Catch-Gamer on de_train 13-8

Begrip versus AbitStrike

Begrip has been flawless so far in Season 2 of WEG. Begrip has only had one really close intense match, which was against Pentagram on Train. That will be the one map where AbitStrike can take advantage of Begrip and force a third map. AbitStrike looked very good against GamerCo on their best map, de_inferno, but they will be hard pressed in these Semi-Finals because Inferno will not be played. Abit had a hard time on Nuke on the defensive side against Astralis. Abit looked very good on T side, but couldn't get it locked down on CT side, so they will need to have fixed that if they want to stay in the game against a very strong Begrip team. If LaiXi can get his team started early, expect good things from Abit, but if robban or f0rest get hot like they have been doing lately, it's going to be hard for Abit to do anything. Begrip will move on to the finals.

Begrip > AbitStrike on de_dust2 13-9
Begrip > AbitStrike on de_nuke 13-8
AbitStrike > Begrip on de_train 13-9

Oops too late!

Watch Begrip win both their games with about a 5-8 rounds margin. They will not lose one game. I know this because I'm a psychic.

I knew these teams had the potential. 4kings and Abit-strike showed it last season. Begrip was my tip for the finals, but Catch was probably the one I least expected for the semis. And especially for the grand final, which they are in now. Ever since Catch won CPL Turkey I've had some hope for them. Juzam and zevy is the ones who has impressed me the most since bsl, day and juve9le are already quite known for their skill. I think what Catch has is the teamwork. None of the players in Begrip and Catch are any super stars but both teams practice copious so I think they are very similar to each other. Team work and team-sprit is more important when playing a 5 week tournament than a 3 day tournament since a lot can stir up things inside the team in 5 days.

#11 I don't think one player makes that much of a difference, but DaY is their awper and is a very sharp one. And we all know how important entry kills are. Going from 2nd best team at WEG to being a sub-par with just one player-adjustment is an exaggeration.

But hiiinooo, now you are judging a whole game by just watching the score board. We all know how stupid that is. Especially in a team game.

And most of those score boards doesn't even say a much except the 1st one.

catch would be just as good with someone like naikon in for day, so don't say catch would be subpar without him, it depends on who his replacement would be.
