Counter-Strike Source: CEVO-Pro Source Week 3:2 Predictions

By: Sean Casey - Published July 27, 2006 at 9:08 PM EDT - Writer Archive
Casey and Depaul give their picks for Week 3:2 of CEVO-Professional play.
Hyper!

vs

electronic Gaming evolution

Since joining the Hyper! organization, the former MiB squad has sailed through their first season of CEVO-Professional play, tossing up some big numbers along the way. eGe has also turned some heads, but has dropped a couple close matches along the way. Statistically speaking, this match is faily even, but when it comes to raw skill and chemistry, Hyper! definitely has the advantage. With a defensive start on Cbble, that advantage is magnified greatly. Look for Hyper! to run up a huge lead in the first half, making it fairly easy to grab the W midway through the second.

Casey's Prediction: Hyper! > eGe 20-10
definitioN

vs

The Edge of Sanity

I'm not quite sure what team definitioN wants to be. 'Inconsistant' is the best word to describe their season thus far. They've taken down the likes of powerhouse team VerGe but have also dropped two big losses, most recently to Hyper!. There's no doubt they can hang with any team in the league; it just depends on which definitioN shows up that evening. Unfortunately the same potential cannot be said of TEoS, who for one reason or another has struggled greatly this season. Sitting at 2-6 in CAL-Invite also, I'm not sure how much longer this team will last. Add in a defensive start and you've got an easy win for definitioN.

Casey's Prediction: definitioN > TEoS 21-9
Eminence


vs

Exploit


Here we see veteran team Eminence take on newcomer Exploit 3. Both teams are sitting relatively low this season so far on the standings with Eminence at 0-4 and E3 at 1-4. Although Eminence is the seasoned veterans of this match, I have seen Exploit 3 in action during match play (against us on cbble) and I'd have to say they seem to be working hard and have good teamwork/chemistry. I think we may see an upset in this match with Exploit 3 coming out on top over Eminence.

Depaul's Prediction: E3 > Eminence 17-13
verGe

vs

devastation

Here we have powerhouse verGe taking on long time CAL-invite team devastation. Although devestation has been through its fair share of roster shakeups at the beginning of this season, they have been doing relatively well and seem to be taking to each other nicely, sitting at a 3-2 record thus far. verGe on the other hand has been with each other since the beginning and have the chemistry and raw skill to put devastation to work. I believe this will be a more lopsided match as verGe will use its raw skill and talent to their advantage and take devastation down hard and fast.

Depaul's Prediction: verGe > devastation 24-6
