If zet makes it back to the US in time to play, coL has this. Otherwise, coL will have trouble. Pandemic has always been solid on nuke.
|
It may not be coL's map but I don't think fRoD will stand for 4 losses in a row.
|
I don’t think coL has lost 3 matches in a row since Bullseye left. I say coL has this.
|
As much as I want to predict Complexity I think Pandemic is playing too
good for the slumping LA boys.
|
Pandemic will probably be very aggressive and grab rounds but I feel coL will squeak out with a 10-8 or 7 due to starting CT.

Dallas bounced back from defeats in Week 4 to garner wins over the Furia 10-1 and Eximius Sports 10-7 in Week 5. The Venom is currently in 6th place in the CEVO standings with a 7-3 record after five weeks of play. The San Francisco Optx currently reside in 3rd place in the league with an 8-2 record. The Optx suffered a significant 10-5 loss to Carolina in the first part of Week 5 but redeemed themselves with an overtime win against Complexity in the second half of the week.

I'm taking the Venom. With Brawwr, the Venom can only get better ... especially considering how AWP heavy source is.
|
This week won't be as easy for Dallas as last week, Optx win if they don't take this match lightly.
|
I really wanted to pick Venom to see if p0s would get mad at me but I have to go with Optx on this one.
|
Neither team is riding a wave of success recently but Optx has been more
consistent throughout the year, "The team with the most rounds will
win."
|
Another close matchup, battle of outside in my opinion, it could go either way but I see Venom holding it.

The Guardians hold down the number one spot in the CEVO standings after 5 weeks with a 9-1 record and the only loss being to the Core in Week 3. The Guardians took down Complexity 10-7 and Furia 10-2 in Week 5. Eximius currently resides in 10th place in the league with 4-6 record. Eximius suffered a big loss to 3D 10-1 and another 10-7 loss to the Venom in Week 5.

Eximius needs to recapture their magic from the coL match and milk it for the remainder of the season. I just don't see it happening.
|
Dudley sTRuK Right and the Canadian Mounted Police will foil nemesis Bradly Whiplash.
|
I think Eximius is lucky this is not MR16. Blow outs don’t look as bad with this rule set.
|
Losing to 3D is enough for me, Guardians will win.
|
Eximius' luck will not improve versus the old eGe team. I see eGe taking it by 10-7 or better, they are on a roll.

x3o is in fifth place in the CEVO standings with a 7-4 record. After starting the season 0-4, x3o has won six straight with wins over The Last Resort 10-9 and Devastation 10-2 in Week 5. Team XFX has struggled all season after being invited to CEVO Pro in Week 2. XFX is 2-9 for the season and are in next to last place in the league. XFX suffered defeats at the hands of Devastation 10-5 and a revitalized 3D 10-1 in Week 5.

Well ... I take back what I said about rockyte and NineSpot earlier this season. It appears it was their more esteemed teammates that held them back.
|
x3o is on fire, anger and mason were the spark that lit it, XFX goes down in flames... again.
|
More X’s in your name makes you a better CS player, not a better team. X3o wins.
|
x3o is way too good for XFX who continues to struggle.
|
x3o is another team who is a lot better lately. I don't see them letting up and see this being a good margin victory

The last Resort have had a rough time in CEVO this season. At 3-7 for the season, TLR currently sits in 11th place just above XFX and Furia. TLR suffered a loss to x3o in overtime for the first part of Week 5 and received a BYE for the second part of the week. The Carolina Core remain comfortably in second place in the CEVO standings with an 8-2 record. The Core split Week 5 matches with a 10-5 win over the Optx and a 10-8 loss to Pandemic.

I think cheating is TLR's Last Resort. We wont hold it against you.
|
It will take the Core TWO matches to beat the Csikos brothers this season, one goes down here.
|
I wanted a Furia t shirt but I was given a Core one. I bring them luck so they win.
|
Core started last week well but ended on a sour note, they should start
well again here.
|
TLR is more of an awping team and on a map like nuke they wont be able to put it to as much use. Expect Carolina's ak/colters to take it to them and shut down any rushes.
