Tonight 3D appears on TechTV and the playoffs continue tonight on de_train. Also, superm0nk joins me in predictions tonight. Let's analyze the matches![break="Read more"]Matches are on de_train. I had the pleasure of having superm0nk join me tonight in predictions and some comments.
Green Berets vs zEx
Sublyme: This match is a no-contest in zEx's favor. I really can't say a lot about it because zEx went 16-0 this season of CAL and GB is still a rookie team. I don't see zEx being knocked out this round.
zEx -over- Green Berets :: 17-7
superm0nk: It's very clear who the favorite is here, and for good reason. zEx went undefeated in this CAL-i season, and they're not going to look back now. Green Berets have surprised a lot of people this season, and they've certainly impressed me. zEx will just be too powerful here, but I think GB will take enough rounds to make this match interesting.
zEx -over- GB :: 15-9
And GB-Rector had this to add...
Sublyme: This is an interesting match. Earlier in the season BiO managed to take out TEC 15-9, but TEC has really come a long way this season. They've become very solid in their teamwork and play and have even knocked out 3D (but then again, who hasn't upset them this season?). I think TEC will still take this in the end, to the dismay of BiO.
Team TEC -over- Biodegradable Heroes :: 15-9
superm0nk: Ah, this is the match I want to watch. TEC had an absolutely great season. BiO had a fairly nice season, and really surprised me compared to last season's dismal finish. I could see BiO putting up a few more rounds, if McCrary and Co. are in tune, but I think it's TEC's match to win tonight.
tec -over- BiO :: 16-8
Gamers-X vs WeekEnd Warriors
Sublyme: Well this will be the 4th time they'll meet this season, and all 3 previous times WEW came up short to be defeated by GX. It's almost like a precedent has been set. But the playoffs are a whole new season with a clean slate and I called that WEW would go farther and I still believe they will. So I may get some flack but I'm calling this one in WEW's favor.
WEW -over- Gamers-X :: 14-10
superm0nk: Definetely the match of the night. Two of the premier teams in CAL-i face off once again. GX has beaten WEW a couple times this season, but I think WEW will turn it around here and snag a close victory. This is a match that could really go either way, so good luck to both teams. My money, however, is still on WEW.
WEW -over- GX :: 13-11
Cockzilla is quite an interesting character...
Sublyme: This match will be taking place sunday because tonight 3D is appearing on TechTV's The Screensavers. I think Ascension is a powerful team and with the way 3D has been dropping games this season I wouldn't be at all surprised to have an Ascension victory. But, 3D isn't dumb and they raise the bar when they know something is on the line. Therefore 3D has this one.
3D -over- Ascension :: 14-10
superm0nk: Yeah, yeah 3D has "struggled" as of late. So they dropped a few matches, who cares? They were having a few troubles that no one could control. They'll be bringing their A game tonight and get a fairly impressive victory. Ascension had a great rookie season, and will definetely be a top contender next year, but their time to exit is tonight.
3D -over- Ascension :: 15-9
Regarding the dragonclaw iview that was right here, there was some miscommunication and so it has been removed.

And GB-Rector had this to add...
Last time we went up against them on train, we made a few mistakes that had a huge effect on the outcome of the match, mainly letting Lektrik take the 3v1 to win CT pistol round. Hopefully we can play as well as we did last time, but correct our mistakes this time around.Team TEC vs Biodegradable Heroes
