Thought I'd make some STA Alpha West predictions for all you clan lovers like myself out there. If you haven't heard of STA before...it's a great league. You can check out their web site here if you're interested in learning more.
[CK3] vs TSO|: Well, a lot of people look at [CK3] as the number one Counter-Strike clan, however, TSO has beaten some big names in its past. [CK3] is the RITD season 3 and 4 west champions, so they'll most likely take this one. [CK3] over TSO| by 10.That's all! Good luck to ever clan this week. These will be the last matches before the two week christmas break in STA.
[DES] vs [smdb]: A lot of hard times for [DES] lately. They had a lot of members quit and there was talk about them retiring from Counter-Strike. [smdb], on the other hand, holds the number one spot on OGL Counter-Strike open and is holding second place in RITD West. Two good clans, [smdb] over [DES] by 8.
-Silent- vs [RTD?]: According to their web page, [RTD?] is undefeated. They've beaten some of the better clans such as [GoH] and [Be6]. Along with that, -Silent- hasn't been doing to well in STA lately. [RTD?] over -Silent- by 10.
[Inc] vs [CCJ]: Both these clans are are new to STA-Alpha west, so it's pretty hard to predict this one. [Inc] is holding a 1-0 record while [CCJ] has a 0-2 record. I've also had some bad experience with [CCJ] in the past...specifically them kicking my clan during a clan match because we were winning. [Inc] over [CCJ] by 8.
[~] vs <@>: Last season [~] were runners up for Alpha West and have several members from -P- who took the title before. <@>, however, has been doing pretty poor and as a result have a 0-2 record. [~] over <@> by 15.
[W.E.W] vs [fCo]: [fCo] has was inactive for awhile, and their web page shows no record. However, [W.E.W] is a highly respected clan and has held and holds first place in many leagues and ladders. [W.E.W] over [fCo] by 20.
-The Elite- vs [DiF] Not much to say about these two. -The Elite- has some real skilled players and know what their doing, not to say that [DiF] doesn't. -The Elite over [DiF] by 8.
]GsF[ vs [IU]: ]GsF[ holds a very high rung in OGL West and has done very well on STA-Alpha West so far. [IU], on the other hand, has only 1 win in their history that they've actually played. ]GsF[ over [IU] by 20.
|G0D| vs [n]: |G0D| has really excelled in STA-Invite. [IU] and |G0D| have a similar record in STA-Alpha is even right now, both clans have 3-1. G0D has beaten some pretty good clans in its past, but has also lost to some. |G0D| over [n] by 10.
[DX] vs [O]: This is both [DX]'s and [O]'s first match in STA-Alpha west, good luck to them both. [O] over [DX] by 15. (Note: [O] never beat [NoTC], [NoTC] beat them.)
