I told you that I might have in depth predictions, and I didn't lie. For once! So be sure to click through and then comment on how terrible my predictions are. If you think they're unsightly, than leave your own predictions in the comments![break="predictions, results & demos!"]RESULTS:
iwa -over- LgD :: 16-8 (8-4, 8-4)
rs -over- w0s (PLAYBOY) :: 19-5 (8-4, 11-1)
sf -over- 2c :: 18-6 (7-5, 11-1)
aoX -over- sb :: (10-2, 12-0)
zEx -over- BiO :: 18-6 (8-4, 10-2)
utp -over- ExS :: 16-8 (8-4, 8-4) ~ utp ~ styka's demo
3D -over- Pinnacle :: 22-2 (11-1, 11-1) HLTV demo-thx to FLeK0
Eminence -over- TAU :: 15-9 (9-3, 6-6)
DoP -over- TSG :: 15-9 (9-3, 6-6) HTLV demo - [DoP]-tRiGGa-'s demo
TEC -over- TuF :: 24-0 (12-0, 12-0) tec|elude's demo-thx to #tec
ifB -over- e7 :: 14-10 (8-4, 6-6)
W.E.W -over- fu| :: 13-11 (6-6, 7-5)
Ipx -over- tso :: 14-10 (4-8, 10-2)
NEG -over- SYB :: 20-4 (9-3, 11-1)
Rival -over- neRve :: 20-4 (9-3, 11-1)
PREDICTIONS:
W.E.W -over- fu| :: 16-8
fu is of course new to CAL-I this season, and has had a less than phenomenal season. They've been beaten by 2 of the other clans moved up from CAL-M, and last week they got their asses handed to them on silver platters by TEC. Their only bright point has been beating tso, who seems to be far past their prime. I think W.E.W's experience and determination will win out.
Ipx -over- tso :: 15-9
tso hasn't been looking very good this season, their only win being against the 0-4 SYB. Ipx is another new clan, but I think that even with their inexperience they'll be able to beat tso.
TEC -over- TuF :: 14-10
This should be a good match. Both teams are 2-2 this season. The only real reason I think that TEC will be able to take this, is because they'll be riding their 21-3 stomping of fu| on Thursday.
NEG -over- SYB :: 19-5
SYB certainly hasn't had the same spunk which they started last CAL-I season with. They're currently 0-4, getting de_stroyed by some mediocre teams. Their only close loss was to neRve, who won WCG Canada. NEG has looked so-so this season, losing to Rival and ifB. I think that they'll take this one easy.
Rival -over- neRve :: 17-7
Well, Rival has been the dominating force which were used to seeing them as. They're 4-0, never winning by less then 16-8. neRve has been in the middle of the pile, winning against TEC and SYB, then losing to Pinnacle. They picked up a forfeit loss to W.E.W because they were competing in WCG Canada. Time well spent, seeing as they won it and will travel to Korea to compete for $300,000 soon. Despite their good fortune on LAN, I don't think that they'll be able to triumph over Rival.
iwa -over- LgD :: 14-10
iwa has got a few new players, and picked up their first win of the season against e7 on Friday. LgD has lost 4 matches, 3 of them being 13-11, to some pretty big names. I think that iwa will have gotten their chemistry working a bit, and will be able to beat out LgD in a close match tonight.
rs -over- PLAYBOY :: 18-6
Well, PB is changing their name to Will Over Skill. I know that this doesn't really matter in this particular match, but I thought that I'd just get it out there. Sosinski has retired, so with that PB is changing their name, and have currently picked up 3 new members. Those 3 members are not yet on the roster though. Sosinski still is, so I guess they'll either forfeit or he'll play. Either way, I don't think that PB has a chance against rs. They just won the WCG qualifiers in Texas, and will be heading to w2z in NYC this weekend to compete for a trip to Korea to represent the USA.
sf -over- 2c :: 15-9
sf has been the surprise success of CAL-I after being moved up from CAL-M. 2c pulled out an unexpected win against rs, and a close win against LgD. Their last 2 matches have been forfeits against SB and TSG. sf had a clean win against PB on Friday, 22-2, and will not hesitate to take out 2c here.
aoX -over- sb :: 17-7
Of all the clans moved up from CAL-M, aoX was the one I expected to do well. They were undefeated in CAL-M, then lost to BiO in the finals. A forfeit. Stupid. They have performed pretty well, their only loss at the hands of zEx, 13-11. (ONLINE SUPASTAZ) I think that aoX will take this with ease.
zEx -over- BiO :: 18-6
As usual zEx has been a dominating online monster. They've won all their matches, and will win this one too. BiO has done well in CAL-I, winning 3 matches. They won't do well enough here, though.
ExS -over- utp :: 14-10
The 20 man asian roster of ExS is always a clan to put up a fight. utp is one of the many clans new to CAL-I this season, after their loss to LgD in the Atlantic finals of CAL-M. They haven't put on much of a show for us, their only win being against PLAYBOY. I believe that ExS will take this.
3D -over- Pinnacle :: 20-4
I'm not allowed to predict against 3D, especially seeing as Pinnacle is a lower class CAL-I clan. They've picked up about a million new people since their induction to CAL-I last season. 3D will cruise by Pinnacle without a glance in their direction.
DoP -over- TSG :: 18-6
Despite DoP's recent pickups of tRiGGa, Method, Destroyer, and br0nx they haven't performed as well as expected by many, including me. TSG has picked up a couple close wins against average teams, and I think that DoP won't have a problem with TSG.
eminence -over- TAU :: 16-8
Since eminence grabbed Jaden, da_bears, DTM, and grasle, they've really showed that they're a top contender. I think that they're a top3 clan, ranked right alongside zEx and 3D. TAU retired and then came back after an extremely short break, and in doing so they lost probably their top 2 players Destroyer and HeavyArms. They certainly haven't had their old chemistry which made them a top contender. Eminence will take this with style.
e7 -over- ifB :: 13-11
This is probably my most unlikely prediction, with e7 being 0-4. The only reason I pick them is that they have gotten a few new players. That's really the only reason. Call it a hunch, but I think that e7 will pull out a very close game against the new comers ifB.
That's all for now, be sure to guess the times for HLTV and watch it. Then DCC me demos from the matches. I'll be !addbaning LuftWaffle in #CSNation on gamesnet.
