Not too sure if you would want to watch HLTV on this one. Maybe hell's militia will view it afterwards and take some notes. Hell's Militia is currently 0-3 in cal-main, which leaves them in almost last place. Flat-out, came very close to beating the currently cal-main leaders snowmen last week. Hell's Militia is going to need all of hell's army to pull the upset on these boys. As a mid-tier cal-im team I dont see hm winning too many matches this season. It would blow my mind if they broke 500. Look for justiN and xile to have their way with hm and show no remorse.

Last week flat out played one of the top main teams this season and was believed to get handled. But much to my horrible prediction they only lost by 2 points. I underestimated them and for that i apologize. Anyway, Expect there to be no competition in this match. Expect Wiz to just dominte garden while Joelz and Xile dominate mid cap/ apartments. But there will be one person that will hold off Flat out as much as possible. That one man army will be Zero. Expect him to give some trouble to Flatout at mid cap or Garden as an ally.

Hells Militia continues to show that they are just not cut off for Main. They'll be trying to finish the season off with a decent record and may/may not move back down to IM. flat-out seems to be a solid team and this match should not really bother them at all. Look for wiz and nugz from flat-out to dominate throughout the match, while zero and unpro try and hold their own ground. I think Hells Militia can put up a good fight, if they practice enough.

This one should be a real nail-biter. Systemelite squeezed by Hell's Militia last week, while nihilist exhausted sixup (synergy). With laura suspended from AWOL rcon status shots, this could hurt syselite's chances of pulling the W. Links and Showtime should have no problem with the skill factor as hes stated before, "is not random". Depending on if sir Bismal plays there could be an interesting sniper battle against the Carolina native Hemo. The heavy battle could also be interesting at double cap / apartments. Raven is known to be persistent, and if he has a good night, look for him to bring the heat. This one is almost too close to call.

This will be a very good match. Both teams have had roster changes/difficulties this past season. Both these teams met earlier this season on Muhle. It was definitly a good match but on a horrible map. Expect a good fight between showtime and forbes while ander-b and benton take on Warvin and LInks. After a grueling 40 minutes expect one of these teams to be very dissappointed, because they will only lose by a very small margin.

six-up (formerly known as Synergy) is among another team that their moveup was very controversial. They're going to prove that they can hang in Main. System Elite should be able to take six up though. They're having some roster problems so we'll see how it goes. Laura just got suspended for week for not having an RCON status ss, so a backup will surely have to replace her this week. I'm not really sure what to say about this match. Look for LiNkS to drop some bombs while Showtime continues to keep his title as one of the most random players ever!

Snowmen should flex their muscles this week. NoGo isn't off to a great start, with a close loss last week to laudable. Snowmen has so many good players, this is what a cal-main roster should look like. NoGo will probably get shutdown in almost every area, if sneaky switches over to heavy for this match he could make a difference. Compton and whoever else plays should have every side of the map on lockdown. Wedo and everglide will dominate the apartments, and double cap. Look for this one to get real ugly real quick. If somehow NoGo prones more than super (which I don't think is possible) they could demoralize the snowmen and keep it close.

Snowmen came way to close to loosing last week to Flat-Out. Expect them to brake loose and go wild in this match. Kirk"thesquirt"Soma will definitly bring the heat and take down any rifle he takes at mid cap flag. Weddo will definitly out prone/skill Nogo because Khoi does not believe in proning and does not allow it on his team. :--0. The major fight that someone should watch in this match would be the sniper battle between BlueRevolver and Stealth. Both snipers are very skilled and have played this game for a good amount of time.

Good luck, have fun!

This one could be as bad as Rise of Legend's CPL performance. Im not sure if nihilist has the skill factor, but they definitely play pretty well together. Add proning, salt and pepper, and you have a match made in heaven. If peep plays watch him for some high scores and easy shots. Player to watch here would be ellsworth. He did quite well in week 2, and on an open map like solitude, should be easy. Don't count out Rise of Legends just yet, Blue, Knubbe, and Dullumis have played together on LAN and definitely have some teamwork.

Rise of Legends has not had a great season. They have had constant roster changes and have tried to pick up the pace so that they will have a good seeding in playoffs. Expect Rise of Legends to come out strong in this game hoping to prove why they should be a top tier team in main. Dullumis and Pumkin would be the two allstars to watch in this game. But dont thing that Nihilist wont go out with a bang. Expect ellsworth to make some serious disturbance in apts.

rL hasn't really made a name for themselves this season. NihilisT, on the other hand, has been doing very well and will want to keep it that way. I know that explodey is quite good on this map so watch him to put up some big numbers on the board. Also look for Dullumis to be of a challenge for NihilisT's rifles. NihilisT won't be easily beaten, though. Look for hegs to hold his own ground, while teamowner won't be on the ground to begin with. Hard to tell who comes out victorious.

The battle of the one halfs. Enervate finally catches a break on the internet. Perhaps if this were cevo, they would be 3-0. Brave little toasters picked up Caffieneaddict and matthew from team rage. This pair has been playing together for a long time, they definitely have teamwork down. It would be a wise choice for BLT to play both of them. If xpx does as well as he did at CPL look for Enervate to destroy them. If he does as well as he did online last season, look for BLT to destroy. Enervate just picked up Brent for sniper, so look for him to drop bombs as usual. eman should topfrag with his kar / bar duo. Sub should do well on the heavy, as well as Rebirth on the rifle. Enervate controls this match with skill. If Brave Little Toasters manages to scrim quite a bit, they have a good chance to upset. Enervate is very streaky with kills, but they become exhausted. This one will either be a blowout or a very close game.

This will definitly be the MOTW. Ene has an amazing lineup with Rebirth and Bane at rifles while xpx and caffieneaddict are definitly the stars for BLT. After this match Ene will probably be one of the top 3 teams in main for this season. Expect this match to be overtaken by ene due to their outpowering heavies and rifles.

It seems that Enervate just doesn't have their teamwork down. Hopefully this match will be the one that will help them with that. blt, however, is not given a rest at all. After losing their last two matches by quite a large amount of points, they'll be facing off to what people believe this season to be one of the top teams in Main. Watch e`man from ENE to drop big numbers this match, followed by Rebirth. Look for xpx and CaffeineAddict to carry blt and try and challenge the ENE team. You can find this match to be one of the larger wins this week.

Despite most people not wanting to play Brazilians, they are very good players. Im not sure if Handicap can manage to hold off this team. Mkn, hap, Lampro, and Kurcz have been playing together for a few seasons now (Most notably as skillZgamerz). These guys will run the map and show no mercy. If handicap isn't raging by half from the lag it will be a miracle. The only way I see handicap winning this one is by binding their whole numpad to prone and just banging their keyboards. Good luck to you guys.

I definitly do not know enough about army other then word of mouth. Handicap is a new team to main but not a new team to this game. Expect handicaps team to get better with the help of the Cal I players that are on their cevo team. Also expect Fleshdrink to take over apartments and eventually take over barrel room and make his way to their first.

After playing both of these teams some time during this season, I can say that this will be a very close match. ARMY hasn't really been up to what they were a few seasons back, but I think they'll get back to it. Hopefully, Handicap's teamwork has improved with or without their superstar player mnx. If mnx plays, watch him to dominate ARMY's rifles. Look for Lampro and kurczz to be the top contenders this match. It all comes down to teamwork for these two teams. This is a close call, but I think ARMY will come out victorious.

I feel bad for anyone who has to play super. This team is the reason people complain about proning. Laudable has a lot of talent on their roster, and as this season progresses they should gel. Bagelchips and lerfooled are the obvious verterans on this team. Watch for them to lead with their skill, and if they get ahead early, they will pull the W. Super could keep this one close or run away with it. Hopefully the match isnt on their server, because it is completely awful. Super's rifles have got talent, and laudable should have their hands full at courtyard / garden. If laudable is ahead, super will go into defensive mode. When defensive mode is activated you will need a tunnel boring device to go through the ground and up under them. This one could get messy.

This will also be an amazing match. During cpl Super proved how good their players can be. From their rifle Jinkz to their heavy Rotcod. But right on their tales will be Arn and Bagelchips showing how Laudable can really play. Expect this to be a good fight between Milk from super and Lerfold From Lau. Both these snipers will try to control garden. Whichever one does will probably win this match.

Both of these teams are very solid and will be a close match-up. After playing LAUDABLE last week, I can say that they will put up a great fight for Super. Super continues to do well this season despite what everyone thinks of them. Look for slaughter and TwisT to be the main fraggers for LAUDABLE, while illusi0n tries and counter-back against LAU's rifles. Also watch the two snipers, lerfooled and milkshake shake each other off.

The battle of the onlines. The battle of the unbeatens. The clash of the titans. A little overwhelming isn't it? Everyone pile into HLTV for this one. Jackson gets to play his first week in cal in quite some time. He will completely dominate wherever he goes. Buchan will also do well (Is that a surprise?) This one should be a high scoring and face paced match. Whoever is winning at the half will most likely not be winning at the end of the game. Much love for the old skool crew, Disco Stu and Chicagolegend will lead their team with frags. Hopefully they'll do better in this match than they did at CPL. I give the W to Buchan.

This will be an extremely close match. Last week osk did not have an amazing week on anzio. Expect disco stu to break out of that bad streak he had last week and just completely dominate. While Buchan and Vertex completely rape in apartments. Expect a good fight at garden between clutch and tidus. But i will have to give it to HSB this week.

Ah, everyone's favorite match-up this week. These two "online" teams will find out who is more online. They will enter the mid-season mark determined to finish out the season strong and maybe try and prove to everyone that they're not "online" as everyone accuses them to be. hsb recently added JAckson to their roster so I guess there's another person you guys can watch during this match. After playing osK like 3 times last season and playing hsb once this season, it's going to be a tough call. Let's hope Disco-Stu try and redeem himself from what happened last week (http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/5474/1stnt3.jpg). Watch for chicagolegend and matt emmons to be the main fraggers for osK while buchan keeps osK's heavies down and Tidus be somewhat of a pest to matt emmons. This shall be a very interesting match.
