Team Fortress 2: CEVO-A Week 7 Preds & Melee

Teams do battle on cp_cevo_junction as Merlino takes us through the week 7 matchups!
North America - The CEVO Amateur division's regular season is coming to a close but the competition is heating up more than ever. The gravelpit-esque map cp_junction, while not popular, will show off the top teams' ability to adapt and survive. With that said, here are the predictions for week 7 on cp_junction..

Predictions:

Nefarious Gaming v Legacy
To start, Nefarious has grown so much since the beginning (when they were shogun). Roster changes and a merge into a multi-gaming organization has helped them a lot. Their scheduling was not as difficult as some other teams, regardless, a 5 game win streak says a lot about NEF. Does all that mean they will overcome The Legacy? Probably not. Legacy has the adaptability and chemistry for a map like junction that NEF will fall slightly short of. I'm going to have to give this one to the underdogs, The Legacy.
NEF [1:2] L|

Delectable Meats v Sorry Ass Clan
This match should be a short one, at least for Del-meat's offense. DM is a powerhouse with a small and well-knit roster. When things get bad (if they ever get bad), they adapt fast. SAC has vastly improved since their start in cevo, but not nearly enough to weather Delmeat's machine. Maybe SAC has something sneaky planned? I doubt it.
dm [2:0] sac

Prized Fighting Goats v Revelation 6
Rev6 has been around since the quake days, and with a similar roster for TF2. That old chemistry should naturally give PFG a tough time. pFg has had an easier schedule and closer matches than REV6. I would call it an easy match for REV6, but their recent hiatus into almost in-activity will make this a close one. Nonetheless, REV6 should have this match by a close one in overtime.
pFg [1:2] Rev6

Money Shot v Dance Brigade - MOTW
Both teams have lost to The Legacy 2-4. Both teams have good players. Both teams are fighting to leap out of mediocrity, and back into the top dogs of the Amateur division. Money Shot has had a pretty easy schedule thus far though, unlike DANCE, which could work against $hot. On the other hand, DANCE has undergone consistent roster changes which has made them an inconsistent team. The similarities and differences of both teams will make this match an intense one, which will likely be decided in overtime. Who will make it out of mediocrity? The true colors shall be revealed, which is why this is the MOTW.. but a quiet voice is whispering $.
$hot [2:1] dance!

HEX v Mercenaries Clan
Not too much to say about this one. The best I can do to predict this match is by each team's track record. MC has simply had a tougher schedule than HEX, yet has the same W:L ratio, which is why I'm giving this one to MC.
HeX [0:2] MC
