CAL Main SXIII Week 2 - Lennon - Page 1

NWP is back in CAL-main, where they belong. rise^ is a great team. Mexy has a good set of soldaten ready to do battle. They scrim, they are active, and I believe they will win. I love NWP, but I think they do not stack up well with this team.

Mitch's Prediction: Rise Above by 150

NWP moves again to main and Darknoble and Showtime have brought the old GSS power to them now. But I think that rise can take this as maybe NWP needs a couple more weeks to gel. rise can be decent if they stay positive.

sh4qfu�s Prediction: Rise Above by 25

This is another good match up. These teams are built on teamwork and friendships, which usually put forth good efforts because they are comfortable communicating. Communcation will be the key to this match. Which ever team is able to utilize this skill better will come out on top. I do prefer Rise Above's roster over Nwp's simply because they have more experienced players in varm, mex, glass, and chewi. With that line up they will be able to take down a newly formed Nwp team, looking forward to playing their first match this season.

Petey�s Prediction: Rise Above by 50

Both these teams have had some roster shakeups lately, with nwp constantly recruiting, and Rise Above I think is around 2/6 returning players from last season. Both teams however made some solid pickups, it's more of a question of who scrims more to build chemistry, and i'm going to have to give this to nwP as they absoutely love DOD. Add in the fact that Links is about the best cheater in CAL since he's untouchable as an AC admin, Varm "Gay Pimp" and Chewiealf "RVC ruined my life with Lineage" just won't be able to keep with him.

Caramelization is the oxidation of sugar, a process used extensively in cooking for the resulting nutty flavor and brown color. Caramelization is a type of non-enzymatic browning reaction because it does not need enzymes. As the process occurs, volatile chemicals are released producing the characteristic caramel flavor. If a sucrose solution is left in a sand bath over night, the sucrose (once the water has evaporated) will caramelize. When Caramelization involves sucrose, it adds 1 water molecule to sucrose to split it apart to form fructose and glucose, increasing the mass of the sugar (caramel).

*SPARKLES*

Did That Hurt?

This has the potential to be one of two things. An embarrassment for DTH or a close match for Sparkles. DTH will scrim before hand, and *SPARKLES* will not. The problem for DTH is the fact that when they are forced to record they become an instantly different team. The CAL-suspension for Sneaky hurts them extensively, but Sparkles will find their apathy towards DOD may make this game slightly hectic.

Mitch's Prediction: *SPARKLES* by 50

With 2 DTH members down for a ringing incident you would think sparkles would have an easy go with this match. Unfortunately Sparkles themselves lost a dominant rifle in Chuck Early to Gamewyze this past week. His famed running rifle of Rhode Island would've surely dominated well in this one, Moriar and Timmy should still be able to lay down the law in this one and put up some numbers for sparkles and as always todo will be prone in random corners to make DtH Furious.

godfather�s Prediction: *SPARKLES* by 60

Two fairly new teams will have a close match tonight. By no means are the teams in this match up top main teams, however they are on the same level of skill and work ethic. Dth recently had two players suspened for an allegation concerning the use of a ringer in a match. This criples them because the players lost were two top players from their team. I think Sparkles will be better motivated and more prepared to win tonight on a map that they know well.

Petey�s Prediction: *SPARKLES* by 100

Did That Hurt? I definately have the feeling that without Sneaky ringing for dtH tonight, they'll find themselves this very question after they get demolished by SPARKLES. Sparkles really isn't what we could consider an active team compared to dtH, but even with infrequent scrims, they still out skill dtH by leaps and bounds. dtH on the other hand scrims Day Of Defeat around 22 hours a week, but in the end they are always bad because they have absoutely no skill. Watch out for Pudd on Sparkles to dominate every player on dtH.

dane�s Prediction: *SPARKLES* by 150

Basic is Skull Adam, and he and 2 team mates get vac'd in scrims. Look for newly acquired Kyle"ksharp"Miller to pistol whip babies in the mouth. I swear they're not all using random aliaii. Hinochi.jp top frags with tk's.

Despise

Freshjive

Even if Freshjive is alive I do not expect them to win merely because they don�t scrim. They have some good talent on their continuously rebuilding roster � they just aren�t active. The bottom line is that if despise will probably win without scrimming because they have a good idea of who their starting 6 will be.

Mitch's Prediction: Despise by 200

I've never seen freshjive practice and although if they put the time into it they'd be an excellent team, they simply will not be able to compete with despise in the team play department, despise will have an easy time plowing through freshjive's disorganized sets.

godather�s Prediction: Despise by 100

I thnk despise has solid lineup that seems to play below its potential sometimes. This should be good match that they should win. I think Freshjives leader was looking for new team, that cant be a good sign!

sh4qfu�s Prediction: Despise by 200

Despise is a team full of skilled players that could use a win to boost their confidence for the rest of the season. Freshjive is a team that has recently
been put together, hoping to make a big push in the Main scene this season. Freshjive's record is 0-1 because of a by, and Despise lost by a very small margin last week, making this a pretty equal contest. I do think Freshjive is more put together just because of the names I see on their roster such as coalminer, w0k, and lerfooled. I think they will bring home a victory against Despise tonight in a very close match that will come down to the last few minutes of each round.

Petey�s Prediction: Freshjive by 30

After looking at the rosters of both teams, I saw something in common for both teams. They like to cheat in scrims. For Despise, you have the amazing allstar Kirill Tolstocheev as well as StalinFrag, and on Freshjive you have w0k. Boy can he tear up scrims, but for some reason every match he plays he struggles. FJ does have the upper hand though, with lerfooled who makes really bad maps but somehow is a decent rifle, and nbyfms who is amazing online, but for some reason just didn't show it that well at the recent lan in Canada. Luckily for him though, this match is held on online where the pressure of people watching your screen just isn't there. Watch for both him & Lerfooled to have big games as they take down the RAGE reform named despise.

dane�s Prediction: Freshjive by 50

Warner Brothers considered casting the part of John Rambo with Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen, Al Pacino, John Travolta and Dustin Hoffman. They got it right in the end.

CUTE-E

Itchy Trigger Finger

Both teams are coming off of loses, leaving a bitter 0-1 record so far. No team likes to start off the season with a loss, but this match will determine the more dedicated team and show who really wants to win. Itf has had a few roster changes but has stuck with a core group of players who will be comfortable playing together. Cute-e has several players who most likely pick who plays in the match the night before. Itf has more meshing time, which will lead them to victory against a much larger team that is not as organized. One thing to note, do watch Curseddaemon of Cute-e if he does play. He is a very good player that can change the whole outcome of this match.

Petey's Prediction: Itchy Trigger Finger by 50

Not really going to pretend I know much about either of these teams, but i have a special place deep in my heart for the GFB. Also last season when pV played ITF on railroad2, we steamrolled them, even with me missing the match as Dan Schey called my house to wake me up for our match only to end up having to listen to my family asking if I'm still breathing as I had a bit of an accident. Gonna have to go with my heart on this one.

dane�s Prediction: CUTE-E by 50

#GFB Cal-Division vs. ITF, you only have to look as far as ITF's roster, and notice the omission of a one, bill"ITF.will.never.get.out.of.open.with.me.mging"bsod to know that ITF is going to win in the score, but lose in the ensuing mm1 battle.

X-t4z3

Losgueros

The French Canucks have returned, but I don�t understand their name. I�m not sure how dedicated Los Gueros are to DOD, but I�ve seen X-t4z3 scrim recently. Maybe the seasoned Frenchies are for real this time around? Second match into the season, and I believe X-t4z3 are CAL-main championship contenders (LOL~). A good match, but I see the Frenchies coming out on top by a safe margin.

Mitch's Prediction: X-t4z3 by 75

On both teams, there is a large range of skill from old to new players. The mostly Canadian based team x-t4z3 brings many old faces
back to the new dod 1.3 scene such as Pothead, Greenbudz, and Chanvre. Thrawn is yet another strong, well known player for this well put
together team. Their skill matches up against less known, but equally dedicated Losgueros players such as SUB, Lars, and Baca.
The stlye that these two teams utilize will determine the winner. I feel the mg will most likely be used by Thrawn who will hold
down the Axis first if a situation gets sticky, but with the high level of knowledge of the game from experienced veterans, I think
the situation can be avoided. x-t4z3 looks good so far with a win over a strong itf team last week. That is who I am going with tonight.

Petey�s Prediction: X-t4z3 by 100

French Canadians are good at only two things. Being smelly and cheating in online games. Since you have to record demos in CAL, Losgueros should win this one pretty easily. The only factor for this match however is who the home team is, since apparently Losgueros is the new ns/veracity, they love to make east teams play on thier awful west seattle server. Odd from Losgueros will definately end up giving the frenchies the business end of the stick.

dane�s Prediction: Losgueros by 150

Names that imply I used to get banned from their pubs vs. half of r5, the most consistent failure out of canada since Alexandre Daigle. The only way that could have been worse is if Mike Milbury drafted him.
Upon further review X-t4z3 looks like redeye or that other team i used to confuse with redeye all the time.
