Kraut: DTP > Supremacy (+40)
This will probably be a good match to watch in HLTV. Supremacy struggled in Main last season but are off to a good start this season, though, Main this season is pretty much the Open of last season with the exception of a few skilled teams. One of those skilled teams would be DTP. Individually they all bring their own unique function to the table, but as a whole they make Beast. Beast is a force to be reckoned with, I wouldn’t underestimate what he/it/they can do. Fighting for control of Midhouse will be m0b and Beast’s chest; I expect this battle to be an epic one. The snipers in this match are ScottGlass and Beast’s right arm (the arm he uses to frequently touch himself with). I can see this clash going either way as both have proved to be solid snipers. At Underpass expect to see Fallen versus Beast’s right leg. Another great match-up as a recently unbanned balding cheater goes head to head with the cute Fallen. Finally, the fight for control of Double Cap, this will be truke, ion, and America against Beast’s head, left leg, and right arm. I doubt either team will be ignorant enough to allow a ninja cap, so basically whoever plays the smartest (gayest) at Double Cap will come out on top. Supremacy recently made the fatal mistake of reacquiring BZM who will be the sole reason they lose this match without him even having to play. I’m going to give this to DTP by 40+.

Thrasher: Supremacy < Disturbing the Peace (20)
With the release of the Incredible Hulk a couple weeks ago I decided to jump(have sex with) on the money cow(luc's mom) and was able to get an interview with the Hulk for this exciting match. Be forewarned that hulk sometimes talks in "MAN TALK" which means you FEEL what he is saying rather than what he is actually saying. I just so happen to speak man talk so it made this interview that much easier.
me: So hulk how do you feel about the match between Supremacy and DTP?
Hulk: ANGRY!
me: Why are you angry?
Hulk: HULK SMASH!
me: Really? Yeah I would be upset too. Who do you think is going to win though?
Hulk: SMAAAAAAAAASH.
me: Actually, that was very well thought out, very detailed and probably really accurate. Anything else you would like to say before this is over?
Hulk: It's cloberin time.
me: Isn't that a quote from the thing?
Hulk: PUNY HUMAN! HULK SMASH!!!!!
me: Ummm. Well then... there you have it. DTP > Supremacy by less than 20 points. Now go see Hulk's new movie in theaters now.
me to marvel exec: So I get 100 dollars and those cool bad ass hulk gloves right?
Thrasher: Shadow Gaming < oldsKool ( 75 points )
Old school vs new school. Well the new school play style is to stay lay on the ground like you're lindsey lohan after an all night binge drinking session. I can tell you right now shadow gaming has that down to a t. Old School however stars Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, and Vince Vaughn which REALLY made this a hard decision. Yes, Will Ferrell's new movie isn't that good and in some of Vince Vaughn's movies he can get kind of annoying (made being the first one that comes to mind), but the three of them really worked well with each other in this one. I didn't really like The Shadow, but it was the first time I saw 2 bullets collide in mid air in a movie and I thought it was just the coolest thing ever. Unfortunately for Shadow gaming bullets can't collide in this game so I'm going to have to give it to Old School. SHADOW < OSK by 1 and a half stars.
Kraut: Shadow Gaming > oldsKool (10+)
I’m sure most of you are in shock that I am predicting sG (K-2) to win against oldsKool, I’m pretty surprised myself. osK has a lot of talent but I seriously don’t think they care at all about this game anymore. sG practices on a daily basis and have remarkable team work. When they get control of double cap on a map like solitude they are going to hold it at all costs. Watch them attempt some bizarre strat like 5 double cap and 1 MG holding Midhouse + Underpass alone. They do stuff like that and sometimes it works only because the majority of teams stick to conventional strats with a few tweaks here and there. OsK will be probably outfrag sG 2-1 easily assuming Stu and chic play, although sG will always find a way to hold down flags in key moments. Going to give this one to sG by 10.
Godlesscommie: NihilisT by 150+
Last weeks loss by Happy Lizard Gaming was a heart breaker losing by just 4 pts. Watch for Happy Lizard Gaming to try to rebound with avengance, but I doubt it will be enough with them loosing several key players and replacing them with lower caliber players. Nihilist has several elements working for them, they have good individual talents and they have been playing together for some time now, and they have dominated/controlled every match so far this season. Watch for their teamwork to really shine again this week!

Thrasher: Pounds Gaming < Butt nekid Gamers ( 132 points )
Pounds gaming is going to face off against some naked gamers. Yet again this is going to be a euro team vs an american team. Pounds, an obvious reference to the british currency, is going to face off against america's minutemen once again, but it wont be bng that cums up short. No, pounds with their bad teeth and nanny state rules wont stand a chance against bng's freedom fighting. Expect bng to bring democracy to solitude and then set up oil refineries in church and middle. Once they are set up they can raise the score to whatever they want, and pounds wont be able to do anything about it. I'm giving this to bng by 132 points. Which, coincidentally, is the current price for a barrel of oil.
Thrasher: Time Travelers < Force Gaming (FF WIN)
I honestly don't think TT will show up for this. They will be visiting dinosaurs, surfing the plasma waves in the orion belt, and swimming with the dolphins in the neptune waters (they move neptune closer to the sun with a tractor beam in year 14342 when the earth is bought by microsoft and made into a private resort. Neptune becomes a huge tourist attraction for a while, but then the earth crashes into it after the software running it's magnetic field malfunctions and yes, it was running windows.) So force > TT by less than 12 thousand years.
Godless Commie: Force Gaming by 40ish
On one hand you have Force Gaming with its only win being a FF win. On the other hand you have a team that profound their first win of the season, yes Time Travelers have added a few players this last week. But if Force Gaming can field 6 this looks to be a closed case with Force Gaming winning by significant points.
