Midway, jESUIT, SirScoots, Singlecoil and guest deliver GotFrag Predictions: CEVO Pro CS:S Week 4:1



Midway, jESUIT, SirScoots, Singlecoil and special guests Ben "STRuK" Kaminski and  Garett "Grt" Bambrough make predictions for Week 4:1 of CEVO Pro CS:Source Season 5. Kaminski is a veteran CS:Source player from teams such as PowersGaming, Upper, Verge and now CEVO Pro team eGe. Bambrough is a veteran Counter Strike player with the likes of GB and EG and is presently a professional player for the CGS Season 1 World Champion Chicago Chimera.

GotFrag's all new prediction series delivers what readers want; predictions, short and sweet, by the people that know the game better than anyone. eSports personalities, top players and senior GotFrag staff only! Each predictor has one sentence to predict an outcome and why.

LA Complexity vs Dallas Venom

Complexity rolls into Week 4 with a 4-1 record and back on track, after a loss in Week 2 to the Core, with wins over 3D 10-6 and TLR 10-5 in Week 3 and league leading numbers from Danny "fRoD" Montaner. Dallas heads into Week 4 on fire at 5-1 with big wins in Week 3 over the Core 10-1 and 3D 10-7 and their only loss this season coming at the hands of Devastation in overtime, in Week 1.

Going for the outside shot ... Venom win. With brawwr's extra time in the saddle they will win in a close one.
Jax Money Crew is hot, fRod will cool them down.
Could Dallas be the next CGS team to take a bite out of coL? We're the gosh darn rootin' tootin' Dallas Venom! Let's ride!

JAX here’s my Madden quote of the week; “When one player kills three people its hard to win.”  fRoD over Venom
Skilled snipers going at it between these 2 teams, small games with rifle will make the difference, watch for Rambo lurking











San Francisco Optx vs. x3o

The Optx remain the only undefeated team in the league with a perfect 6-0 record. The Optx handed losses to Devastation 10-4 and XFX 10-5 in Week 3. x3o managed to win both matches in Week 3 despite being winless before then. A stellar performance by Erik "da bears" Stromberg and the addition of Mason Dickens to the lineup sparked x3o to a 10-8 win over Eximius and a 10-3 win over Furia.

x3o impressed me with a win over Eximius. However, whatever they have going for them wont be enough to win here.
If one of the Optx doesn't break an arm skiing, they win.
OptX should win this match, but with x3o stringing a few wins together, it might be a closer finish than the OptX would like. OptX by 4.
x3o’s amazing play last week gave me pause, but then I remember the GM of Optx and her bribery. Such things can’t go unpunished, Optx’s wins!
de_moe not much more to say, optx within its history had a great steady and relentless outside take, should be a blowout even if optx starts T












The Last Resort vs Devastation

The Last Resort limp into Week 4 with a 1-5 record and their only win against the hapless Furia. TLR suffered a 10-8 loss to Pandemic and a 10-2 loss to Complexity in Week 3. Devastation also suffered two losses in Week 3, 10-4 to the Optx and 10-3 to Pandemic for a 3-3 record on the season.

Punching bag loses. More roster changes in the future.
Big brother > little brother every time.
I don't see Devastation dropping three straight...right Steve?

Well neither team can buy a win; maybe they should speak to Kat! Devastation has better speed dial abilities!
Dev is in a bit of turmoil, unpracticed, but still decent, this one will be close TLR's awps will be fresher and thats the difference maker











Carolina Core vs Eximius

Carolina heads into Week 4 with a 5-1 record, having split their matches in Week 3. Although the Core was defeated 10-1 by the Venom in the first match night of Week 3, the team snapped back with an overtime win against previously undefeated eGe in the second match night of Week 3. Eximius is 3-3 on the season with a 10-1 loss to Dallas Venom and a BYE in Week 3.

After a loss to x3o I wonder about Eximius' perceived strength this season. Core easily wins regardless of roster problems.
It might depend on who starts for Core but if Devour plays well, they should have this.
eGe took the Core to OT last match and the Core should have closed it out second side.  This match should prove easier for the Core though and I say they win by 6.
Core burned me against eGe last week and instead of picking out of spite I’m going to be the bigger man!  Core with easy.
Cores best aspect as a team is strong standing tap aks, and that kinda shot really shines on train, who needs awps when u got torrez, sonny, and daffsta's  AK












Pandemic vs Team XFX

Pandemic is 5-1 through Week 3 and sitting in second place in the league behind the Optx. Pandemic defeated TLR 10-8 and Devastation 10-3 in Week 3 with the help of great performance by Mike "Paradox" Stanowski. Team XFX wons its first match this season against the Furia 10-8,  but lost the second match of the week to the Optx 10-5, giving XFX a 1-4 record so far.

10-8 over Furia isn't a good reason to predict in your favor. Pandemic wins quickly.

Pandemic is solid with Paradox and in a groove.
XFX must start cassO!  Until then, the beatings will continue.


Casso I don’t need a sense of humor, 1-4 does all the talking, PICK IT UP!!  Pandemic in their sleep.
Most people would go with pandemic on this one, but XFX seem to have a working system on this map which i think will result in an upset, look for an OT finish












New York 3D vs eGe

3D continues to struggle in next to last place in the league, a 1-5 record(1 forfeit win) and losses to Complexity and Venom 10-6, 10-7 respectively in Week 3. eGe were not able to continue an undefeated record for CEVO in Week 3 with a loss to the Core in overtime to give the team a 5-1 record for CEVO Pro Season 5 thus far.

3D ... oh the ravages of time and wow.
Look for eGe to rebound and 3D to be consistent.
eGe lost in a comeback to OT match against the Core last match.  They should win this one by 6.

When Singlecoil says you're consistent by LOSING, what more can anyone say?  It’s ok Kyle I don’t think they take back CPL Titles!
Who knows if struk will have decent ping this game because it was the reason core won last match. Unless 3D fixes some things I saw scrimming them, then I don't see them getting past eGe.
