Day Of Defeat: CAL Invite Season 19 Week 4 Predictions

By: rusty - Published June 26, 2008 at 11:38 AM EDT - Writer Archive
Rusty "analog" Ockeden brings you Week 4 CAL Invite predictions. The map is dod_solitude_b2.
nPg vs Handicap

analog:
Well it looks like Handicap got the short end of the stick this week as they are forced to play six (seis) teleporting Brazilians. Many shots will be missed and many people will overuse the word, ‘banana’. Since the starting 6 lineups for both teams have been kept away from the press to avoid any sort of pre-match planning I am now forced to dabble aimlessly about what I think could happen in this struggle over winning a CAL match. Caff and Storm will take turns inserting their twig into the opposing teams unsuspecting balloon knots from tower, unfortunately unless they make some sort of pre-game agreement to share the tower they will have to literally shoot each other if they want to get up there. Storm is a nice guy, pretty good looking, and speaks some foreign language that makes most girls run away holding their panties, but I think that Caff is going to make like team America and pillage him and his townspeople. The only other player I know will be playing in this match is nPg-bud, and unless BX is playing then I think bud will be the best thing nPg has going for them. He will probably hide in some new and interesting spot that was overlooked by north American DoD and pop out at a most frustrating time and take out 3-4+ people. On Solitude, this is going to help his team a lot because it’s hard to retake the double cap and even harder to try and capout. Good luck, both teams.

130 Handicap > nPg 110
Players to watch: CaffeineAddict, cooLwhip, bud, bx (if he plays)


Frag Dominant vs That’s a Paddlin!

analog:
In my mind the two best teams in CAL (excluding legion), I would personally enjoy sitting in this HLTV with some cookies, milk and Sheryl Crow music and watch ryanemo camp these g’s shooting at eachother. I’ll just say now that I think FD will win all of their matches this season while spamming a lot of stupid garbage in scrimdod after each one of them. I’m going to pretend that Jgale, Tox, and Specops will be going mid. This is a blatant assumption but lets go with it. They will all prime a nade and throw it at Vasily, Mission, and Scangus (again, made up.) Everybody on both teams will die and they will do it again. Things will get interesting when one of the teams pushes past the cap to hole or allies 2nd because both teams can frag like it’s their 9-5 job. I hope Ninjuh plays because I think that he will dominate and could make this match very hard for FD to win. Whichever team can hold the tower better on allies is going to make a big difference in this match, and corey jaggon marko who I hope goes underpass will be getting clutch kills if he can push to the other teams 1st or 2nd flag.

160 Frag Dominant > TAP 100
Players to watch: rubel, patten, jaggon, john gale


Eximus vs DoDealers
analog:
If DoDealers fields 6 this will be another great matchup. Eximus practices and Dodealers can’t locate their team scheduler. I, however, heard through the gape vine that dodealers had 6 last week and UG of all teams couldn’t find their 6th, according to this reasoning it isn’t totally unrealistic that this match actually get played! So Eximus has a great lineup, going mid they will have m!stadobalina, rebirth, hitman, and hitmans very fast clicking finger. Whichever 3 dd sends mid you can bet they know their shit, but I think the Eximus lineup will be able to outplay them after all the scrims they’ve been getting in this week, seriously. Tony “rng” will be running apartments against sgbill, a man that hasn’t played dod as long as I have played dod. Tony did good on LAN and will do good online so I think he’s probably going to be one of our players to watch this week. Going underpass will be Pantera who will do amazing things and conveniently isn’t going to yet another LAN (look who’s talking). I hope that dorito goes underpass because watching dorito and pantera play 1v1 would be more epic than watching Gandalf fighting the Belrok on the little bridge in Lord of the Rings. Fortunately dorito, although naming his LAN team washed up, is anything but that and will probably be the only part of the dd team that Eximus won’t be able to contain. Good luck pantera love ya brah.

90 Eximus > DoDealers 50
Players to Watch: rNg, dorito, fusion


NoLuck vs NeFarious

analog:
Good luck have fun guys. Watch out for ao, we’ve been letting him kar/bar any route he wants because he told us he’s really good.

Players to Watch: Bewton, Jackson, Heavy (Blotto)


FocaL vs This game is shttt and dead
analog:
FocaL’s lineup is looking pretty solid, I’m glad they kept their team going and now I think they will be one of the top 4 teams in invite. I think prop, hxc, and bobson are all very good players and are going to help this team in a huge way. This game is shtt and dead was named by someone with downs syndrome and will probably not do very good at all. That being said I think Focal will cap out a couple times and Bluerevolver will not hesitate to leave his computer mid-match to go grab a soda while hxc drops 40 with a bar (don’t let me down now taylor, I said fourty.)

200 FocaL > TGISAD 40
Players to Watch: hxc, bobson, propaganda, scorch
