hltv.gamedaemons.net:27024 - WeekEnd Warriors vs. In for Blood

anyone see anything wrong here

**alfuh** · 01-23-2003, 08:15 PM

thx for the ips/times at least

**Sublyme** · 01-23-2003, 08:23 PM

here are the preds you would have gotten..

art of eXecution -over- Biodegradable Heroes :: 13-11

aoX has lost 3 out of their 5 starters recently, with one jumping ship to iwa and 2 retiring. aoX was a seriously strong force with their original lineup, but lately they're lacking, which is proven by their blowout loss last match. I still see them as a force to reckon with, but to be honest this match could just be a tossup and it could go either way.

issues with authority -over- iLanGamers :: 14-10

iLan, while not being an amazing team, has been good enough lose their matches close and actually win one or two. I don't see them adding a tally in the win column tonight, but I do see them holding iwa close in what is sure to be a great game.

Green Berets -over- utopian :: 13-0 Forfeit

Forfeit. Seems those canadian's at utopian are really struggling since losing their starters to the new DoP recently.

zEx -over- Domain of Pain :: 15-9

Nobody right now can stop zEx, aside from perhaps 3D. DoP, while having talent and the name, just obviously isn't the same as they used to be, and thus won't put up more than 9 rounds, and I'm being generous giving them that. I've always been a DoP fan, but their current roster really isn't that of a top-tier clan, but more middle. We'll see what happens with that as the season progresses.

Echo 7 -over- Excess :: 15-9

Echo 7, since stabilizing their roster at the end of last CAL-i season, has been on fire and hasn't dropped a game yet. Excess has been lucky in a few matches, but seems to be lacking the dedication at the moment to let them hang with a team like E7. I see E7 adding another win to their record tonight, but always watch out for the underdog - Excess is a pretty inconsistent clan and sometimes comes out of nowhere with wins.

Texas Area Untouchables -over- Pinnacle :: 14-10

TAU is in a rebuilding process at the moment, as they've re-added their old core that was in the clan back when they were a top CAL-i team. Pinnacle always has a nice roster, but they never really do hang with those upper-tier teams, and I'm confident that tonight will prove to be a step in the right direction for a rebuilding TAU.

Eternal Silence -over- Hicks With Sticks :: 16-8

eS is a clan that's constantly confused me, with their roster changes and close games, and major losses the next. Still, in the battle of the rookie teams, eS outshines [hs] and I don't see [hs] picking up a win tonight.

RiotSquad -over- shockwave :: 17-7

RiotSquad has been Really inconSistent lately (haha I made a funny!), dropping games they shouldn't and even tying mid/lower-tier teams like TSG. They've had some roster troubles lately with inactives and the like, but until they buckle down and get a set 5, I don't forsee them turning any heads. Still, this matchup is the classic veteran vs rookie clan, and I'm handing it to the vet's tonight.

Team c[h]ikara -over- TEAM STOMPING GROUNDS 14-10

Team [h] is on a roll after defeating Netzone last night in UGS-invite, and being that TSG is a lower-tier clan, I don't see them dropping this game.

TEC -over- Team NetZone :: 13-11

NetZone is reeling after their close loss to [h] last night, and I see TEC capitalizing and winning this game just barely. Not sure what's going on in NetZone's camp, as they got off to a good enough start in CAL-i. Whatever the case, I see a tight game tonight between two powerhouses.

WeekEnd Warriors -over- In for Blood :: 18-6

In for Blood has never been anything more than a low CAL-i team, and I don't see them stepping up from that anything soon, especially when facing last season's CAL-i runnerups. WEW has a easy game ahead of them.

High-Tech Performance -over- The Speakeasy Offensive :: 17-7

Poor TSO -- I constantly predict them in hopes that they'll surprise everyone and make a nice comeback, but I don't see it happening. Maybe at some point they'll put the dedication back into cs they once had, but until then I don't see them beating the rookie team High-Tech Performance.

Team Rival -over- frag university :: 15-9

Rival isn't dead after all, it seems, as they just picked up former TSO member faheem, among others. Whether he's legally on roster yet or not I don't know, but I see Rival triumphing over fu for their first win of the season.

New Expert Gamers -over- Ascension :: 13-11

This is another game I could lean either way with, but NEG has too impressive of a record last season to just curl up and die this one. Ascension got off to a nice 4-0 winning streak before being beaten by htp last match, and I don't see them getting out of their slump in this match. But, as I said, I could lean either way with this and |a*| might indeed come back.

Gamers-X -over- neRve :: 16-8

If neRve, the forfeit kings, do indeed play tonight, I don't see them putting up more than 8 rounds against an insanely strong Gamers-X. Who would have thought the new [GX] would be this good? It certainly didn't look like it on paper, but they're pulling out wins left and right and I see another one tonight over the World Cyber Game's runnerups.

Team 3D -over- Legends :: 20-4

Need I say more?
