Two of the more serious teams in CAL, both teams are trying to keep their almost perfect record with both losing to the all mighty Dynamic. I think this match is going to come down to which team practices more. Going off raw talent these guys are probably equal although Second Nature is more of a rifle based team as stormakt has a permanent awper. P1 being stormakts backbone it seems he could make a big impact for them or possibly be shut down from smokes. Now back to 800 dollars and 15 rounds I see mill becoming a more even map.

T side will be crucial which as of late seems like T side is what wins you matches after being away from the old config. I see Second Nature pulling ahead barely with the better rifles and being able to exploit stormakts middle. Although this will most likely be a really close match I think Second Nature will pull it off with better chemistry and I am going to give it to Second Nature 16-14.

Here we have a pretty good match up with two new teams in invite. Landscapers made invite throught the IPT and have had the same roster for a long time. I don't think landscapers care much or practice much and that will hurt them if they want to beat Flash. Flash is a team also coming from CAL-main but got an auto move-up by getting second place. Flash has been a team for a few seasons with a few name changes. Both teams have good players but it will come down to who wants it more and practices more. With that being said I think Flash will take this match.

Control just won CAL-main last season and Keyboard smashers got second place in CAL-invite. Control is a team that practices and run some pretty nice strats. They have team work and good shots but it won't be enough to beat KBS. KBS just added DaZeD and Chewbacca to their roster which is a good addition. I don't think KBS cares about CAL much but they will still be to much for Control and will take this match pretty easily.

Hyper is a good team with good players. They have been doing decent this season with a record of 3-3 while Sure Shot has a record of 1-5. Sure shot's only win is to a team that is no longer invite. This match shouldn't be a problem for Hyper and they will win.

In my opinion this will be the match to watch this week. Both teams are great teams. Dynamic won invite twice in a row before going inactive last season and are looking for a third championship. Absolution has been in invite longer than any other team currently in invite. They recently just got a new roster that looks pretty solid. Dynamic is currently undefeated and want it to stay that way. Absolution is sitting at 4-1 but have a forfeit loss. I think Dynamic will take this match in a very close match.

scN has been in invite for a few seasons. They are pretty much a pug and do not care at all about invite. So far in this season though they are 2-1. Synchronous just got moved up to invite this season by getting third place in cal-main. In the first half of this season they started off with a record of 3-3 with some pretty bad loses and some decent wins so its to say what they can do. I see scN taking this one in a pretty close match.

scN 16-13
