Kevin: There is some controversy if jetty is still alive or not. As they already have two forfeit losses, they are already void of playoffs, so this match doesn't mean anything. However, if they DO show up, they will probably want to quit after playing Nefarious Gaming. After playing NEF on solitude last week, I discovered that they love playing as slow as possible. From playing jetty earlier in the season on chemille, I can say their playstyle is the opposite. However, I don't know if anyone from that match is actually still on the team. As for NEF, with the list I was given, Loki isn't on it. I don't know if this means he isn't playing this week or if it is just out of date. If he is playing, though, he is the best player there will be. Look for him to be watching you when you turn away. Alex Kirk will be too busy admiring himself in the mirror, so I personally think he should go train. Alan Williams isn't going to be on his home field of dod_orange where he never misses, so we'll see if he can make some of the shots he makes with a crosshair. I don't know what else to say otherwise, seeing as jetty is probably not even going to show up. Well, other than the fact kyran is a chump.

 

 

Shane: I would like to, while I have your attention, comment on the fact that I had talked to someone on jetty during the first week of this season in scrimdod about jetty not showing up to matches and then they proceeded to say that that just wasn't true. With all do respect, and I mean all do respect, I called it. So, if you came here for a jetty prediction you should probably go to the main preds and look up g4n. FF win for teamKirk, really sucks too because I have so much to say about Nefarious that this would have been an epic pred.

Well, this match is going to be pretty amusing. On one hand we have the best team in invite looking to finish the regular season undefeated. On the contrary we have the "best team in invite" struggling to stay above AYEBAYBAY in the standings, which is pathetic. As thunder, now sponsored by Frag Dominant, finalized their roster, we see an old face on the sniper with cypher, and as he took his stand he bumped JaGGoN to the rifle along side mexicant and toxinator. Following along is the heavy team, which have been working together all season of ryanemo and specops. With this roster, thunder is looking to go all the way this season and then perform similarly at the upcoming LAN. With their "we don't scrim even though we're always scrimming" attitude, they are certainly going to be ready for the match. The opposing team is quite the opposite. With a rifle team of illusion, mista, and kezia, KYLAN is in a distant land that will never been seen (mostly for illusion). They also had their online star that is poizoned leave; however, they lost blackop and grmplse, so their overall loss isn't exactly that much. It really does not matter who is going where in this match as every player on super will probably be running to their first or second, trying desperately to hold one flag for the majority of the match and not get shutdown. 

 

 

 

Shane: The best team in invite vs. "the best team in invite" should be a good match to watch right? WRONG. Super has changed their roster more times then penos (though through no fault of their own as several of their teammates couldn't cut it in invite and joined open). So not only will they be playing a currently undefeated thunder, but also they will be playing with backups and a lack of teamwork. I could go through the rosters and compare but it will be a 6-0 in thunders favor. I wouldn't even bother watching this in hltv because it’s going to be completely one sided. I expect Josh "not the gay fallen" Richardson to be the only one on super to go positive, though against thunder he might disappoint.

Kevin: Well, here we are. It took eight weeks, but you two finally get to play each other. As both teams have been all over each other all season, it should be fun for them. Let's get a rundown of the team. On the South American side we have BitchX and xeon, the two best rifles in invite. Well, once they change servers and their ping lowers a whole 10 ms. Meanwhile the heavies will consist of bud and pinga. No idea how bud will do, but I know pinga will be in some god knows place dropping less than 10 per half. Storm will be able to get a lot of kills on axis as he has the ability to shoot ten feet around a corner three seconds after you pass it. Seeing as the allies have to jump down, even once their secure behind the steps, they won't be safe. Zingaum will just be running around 1stossing people, but will go relatively unnoticed. Now, let's look at DA. They haven't exactly been having the season of their lives, but they've been staying strong and played the whole thing out which is awesome. However, with this week they are going to have trouble picking up a second W. With a roster shift this week, we see their rifles analog and ao sniping and heavying respectively. However, they do have ckx on the rifle, and after scrimming him a few times on solitude I decided he's amazing. However, my roster list says blotto and Renton on the other rifles, and I don't know who they are. I don't know exactly what the reason was for austizzle not showing up, but I think it had something to do with him not being able to focus playing nPg while riding Bitchx's penis. No, not really, I have no idea why he's not playing but it will certainly hurt DA as he became amazing last season and it will be a shame he might not help them win another match.

 

 

Shane: Austizzle once played NPG 1 v 6 on Anzio and capped out 5 times making NPG leave at half. That being said Austizzle isn't playing so DA has to switch the guns around and wont be playing their usual spots. If rusty is anything like me he will get frustrated when storm does everything in his power to hide from you and then when he does peek its a cheater peek and your bullet goes right through him. My suggestion to you rusty is setting ex_interp to .1 so that even after he is around the corner you can shoot him, and its only fair because their entire team will do it to you. Now if I was running strats for nPg I would probably send Bx to apts by himself allowing him to cover apts, midcap, and long all at one time and have the rest of the team go train to four-way. Even without this brilliant strategy nPg will probably pull out a win, but I expect Da to make it hard for them. Oh and Austizzle will still probably topfrag both halves.

Kevin: Hello there fellow (united) gamers! So we meet at the end of the run. Good thing this wasn't a literal run or track star Khoi Ngo would have won you guys a championship while fatnewspanda would have held us back more than he already is. I say we make a deal: if you can keep jlak from cheating, or somehow being the best player to grace day of defeat, I'll promise to keep endofOne under control. That man can get so riled up, it's hard to believe. I can't make that promise for Joe Ledmunds, though, as he is too wild for us to tame. Good luck and have fun soldiers, see you on the battlefield!

 

Shane: This was my 2nd choice for motw based solely on the fact that Khoi doesn't have school this week which means he should be amazing. Starting with train you have pirate vs. Matthew. If Matthew has steam friends open I guarantee he wont get a kill. Other wise it will probably be a back and forth with pirate usually in the lead. Apartments is going to be badnews Hatmaker vs. spoon Taylor. Badnews vs. spoon is pretty even match up, but if Taylor is on his game he is going to completely throw apts in NoGo’s favor. Long, by itself, would most likely be pretty even, but with NoGo having the apartments advantage it will put pressure on whoever AYE sends long giving yet another advantage to NoGo. If Taylor can get into dark halls and sniper window NoGo has a chance to cap out if they can get Matthew to ninja on allies. Pirate's experience though will probably prevent a ninja and cap out on allies so if a cap out is going to happen expect it to be the nogoaxis/ayeallies half.

Kevin: "We're going to practice this week. We've scrimmed twice, and it's only Monday." - Aaron "more asian than Ivan Cheng" Louie.

 

Watch out noLuck, TAP means business. However, they may have taken a hit last week by losing scangus to the clutches of the Brazilians who's feelings are easily hurt. NoLuck won't be shoved around too easily in this match, though, as they somehow find time to stop saving the world from flesh eating barrel-zombies to scrim. Looking a little at who is playing, we have some interesting matchups. However, as I don't want to ruin noLuck’s secret strat, and I can't figure out what TAP is doing, the only battle I am certain of would be Patten v. iorio. Then again, iorio will drop the sniper for any rifle he finds on the ground, so time will only tell where he will be at on the map. From a secret source named Ivan Cheng I have been able to find out that TAP very may be pulling the ol' six-man-train car strat which may give trouble to noLuck’s secret jbc-loving train car player. From previous knowledge, and Aaron's shaky strat providing, I do know that Tiacus should be rolling long against deandeanmurduhmachine. I've never witnessed dean go long, but I have faith in him that will stay strong and cause a ruckus. Looking back at middle, TAP should be concerned because ex-ponytail legend eqz will be going middle. I do think Ivan will at least have a kar at some point, so expect him to be doing something. Then again, he's pretty bad. All in all, this match will be a head turner and should be considered match of the week. Leroy Lopez is a girl.

 

With the upset from last week and loss of a starter, look for the strong team that is noLuck to pull a win off this week. 

 

Shane: This was an easy pick for motw. I decided to divert for the norm and compose some poetry. Please enjoy.

 

In the mid of the map,

The fight has begun!

Its noLuck vs. TAP

IT WILL BE SO MUCH FUN.

 

Ham or Bobson on third

Versus the murduhmachine

The route none preferred

They still frag like a fiend.

 

The battle will be decided

By who plays slow the most

Despite dean always ridin'

I give it to the roast.

 

Now we move into mid

Where battle is the most fierce

Vasily vs. that Jackson kid

One will leave in tears.

 

Who will it be?

Even I do not know

We will have to wait and see

Through each shot and each blow.

 

Next to double cap

We must continue on

Break mid asap

This is where the heavies will run.

 

There is doc and mission

Against willeh and ob

If tap's heavy is miss'n

They have backup bob.

 

We hold our breath

Whilst the battle doth rage

Death after death

On this cal-I stage.

 

When the dust has cleared

And the battle is won

Its as noLuck’s heavies feared

TAP took apps with their gun.

 

What about the snipers?

I can hear you say

They’ll make you shit in diapers

They’ll make you pray.

 

For tap there is Patten

So noble and true

For noLuck it's iorio

So calm and cool.

 

From double windows none miss

As they drop to white stairs

I pred iorio wins this

But lets see how he fairs.

 

Now let's not forget though

Rifles Tiacus and equis

I know not where they go

But it won’t be in peace.

 

Their aim is good,

Their speed is great,

They go where they should

And leave nothing to fate.

 

Thoughts of this fight, too

Has me on the edge of my seat

If they ff my balls will be blue

I hope to see who has who beat.

 

Which team will win?

I must answer that now

Ivan and kin

will pull through some how.

 

When both halves are over

I can see them standing so proud

Tap beats dean's range rover

The bodies of noLuck litter the ground

 

Let us not forget tap|Scott

Banned for mm1 violation

Said "die in a fire" and got caught

To his team's tribulation

 

I hope you think me not a fool

For this ballad I wrote
