Round 2 - Fight!
« on: July 09, 2014, 04:40:08 pm »
M8
:Germany: :orc: Ostone
:Canada: :ne: Renaud
:Argentina: :ne: Supremo
:Denmark: :hu: zTsoso

All 4 players played well enough to win their round 1 games.  Giving Renaud's tendencies to punish Orc players, I predict zTsoso to win here.

M9
:Russia: :ra: qwest
:USA: :ne: Mog[Skynet]
:Germany: :hu: Yaws
:United_Kingdom: :ne: WarchiefRich

While Mog has a knack for winning these kind of games, I foresee one of the solo pros winning here and Yaws having more FFA experience he takes this one.

M10
:Germany: :ud: PwNu.Wan
:Peru: :ud: NoMercy2
:USA: :ud: Red7z7
:Russia: :ra: Sk2Flash

One of the very best Russian players looking to put on a better performance then Round 1.   

M11
:USA: :ra: Persuade
:Belgium: :ne: MattiasG
:France: :ne: Meeds
:USA: :ra: Seksi

Looking forward to this game.  Will be interesting to find out the 'secret map'. 

M12
:Russia: :ra: AJIKAIII
:USA: :ud: SteppinRazor
:Germany: :orc: Lightweight
:Germany: :orc: Pinballmap

With no strong elves or humans in the game, Lightweight should have a favorable situation here. 

M13
:USA: :orc: Ashalar
:Switzerland: :hu: Noexxx
:Russia: :orc: Ludix
:Russia: :ud: DNIWE-VOVA

Ludix has cooled down from his hot start, still strong micro with a developing FFA sense will bode well for him here.  Looking for Noexxx to play a strong game.

M14
:Belarus: :ne: yaodintakoi
:USA: :ra: Re-Chavez
:Kazakhstan: :ud: DV-
:World: :ra2: Sub

DV- is a solid FFA player.  Re-Chavez was a no show, and I don't know much about yao.

M8
:Germany: :orc: Ostone
:Canada: :ne: Renaud
:Argentina: :ne: Supremo
:Denmark: :hu: zTsoso

It's a smaller map but Renaud will win because hes the veteran player here.

M9
:Russia: :ra: qwest
:USA: :ne: Mog[Skynet]
:Germany: :hu: Yaws
:United_Kingdom: :ne: WarchiefRich

Yaws is going to be unstoppable this season, I hope Rich rushes qwest

M10
:Germany: :ud: PwNu.Wan
:Peru: :ud: NoMercy2
:USA: :ud: Red7z7
:Russia: :ra: Sk2Flash

Wan is the "big name" player in this game, and I think flash can perform well while flying a little under the radar.

M11
:USA: :ra: Persuade Lightweight
:Belgium: :ne: MattiasG
:France: :ne: Meeds
:USA: :ra: Seksi

Kinda thinking this will be a underdog winner taking the game here as seksi and LW will go at it until they are both dead

M12
:Russia: :ra: AJIKAIII
:USA: :ud: SteppinRazor
:Germany: :orc: Lightweight Persuade
:Germany: :orc: Pinballmap

GL HF

M13
:USA: :orc: Ashalar
:Switzerland: :hu: Noexxx
:Russia: :orc: Ludix
:Russia: :ud: DNIWE-VOVA

Ludix can 1v3 here I think

M14
:Belarus: :ne: yaodintakoi
:USA: :ra: Re-Chavez
:Kazakhstan: :ud: DV-
:World: :ra2: Sub Magadansky

Maga will show up at some point this season...

zTsoso

:Argentina: :ne: Supremo
:Denmark: :hu: zTsoso
:USA: :ne: Mog[Skynet]
:Canada: :ne: Renaud

This game should prove to be interesting. Mog propably decided to use his swap card here with good reason. Renaud got to decide that we play on emerald shores. A lot of things can happen this game and it is tough to call.
Iīm gonna go with Mog as the victor here because I think this map/setup favors his style. Given the long ffa experience of Renaud and Mog, I believe they will be fighting for the 1st place this match and i consider them favorites. Will be excited to see if supremo can make an unexpected win here.

M9
:Russia: :ra: qwest
:Germany: :orc: Ostone
:Germany: :hu: Yaws
:United_Kingdom: :ne: WarchiefRich

Qwest will have a tough time with these experienced solo and ffa players. I believe he will mostly balance the game and make sure Yaws does not get overly dominating unless the other players decide to take him out due to his playstyle. I believe Ostone will take this since rich tends to have trouble with orcs in late game.

M10
:Germany: :ud: PwNu.Wan
:Peru: :ud: NoMercy2
:USA: :ud: Red7z7
:Russia: :ra: Sk2Flash

I donīt know much about these players (except Wan) so it is tough for me to make a good prediction here. I believe Wan is a good bet to win this game if he is not teamed. twisted meadows is a good map for UD and Wan is certainly an experienced and accomplished solo player with a lot of experience on this map. He  seems dedicated to FFA so look forward to see him play.
If the other players do not team I canīt see anyone stopping him.

M11
:USA: :ra:  Lightweight
:Belgium: :ne: MattiasG
:France: :ne: Meeds
:USA: :ra: Seksi

I think this game is open. I believe Mattias has an edge in this game if LW and Seksi fight. If not, I think Seksi is going to take it. LW has great micro and macro skill but "lames" or plays overly aggressively in my opinion. This will likely make people team him that will burn away all his gold and glory :D.

M12
:Russia: :ra: AJIKAIII
:USA: :ud: SteppinRazor
:Germany: :orc:  Persuade
:Germany: :orc: Pinballmap

I think Persuade is going to stomp through this one if the other players donīt team up against him.

M13
:USA: :orc: Ashalar
:Switzerland: :hu: Noexxx
:Russia: :orc: Ludix
:Russia: :ud: DNIWE-VOVA

If Ludix decides to play he is my favorite to take this one. Look for noexxx to make a better performance then last time.

M14
:Belarus: :ne: yaodintakoi
:USA: :ra: Re-Chavez
:Kazakhstan: :ud: DV-
:World: :ra2: Sub Magadansky

DV-is the favorite here. Yao may be able to put a decent fight! Look forward to see him play and hope to see Maga return to the scene.

M8
:Germany: :orc: Ostone :USA: :ne: Mog[Skynet]
:Canada: :ne: Renaud
:Argentina: :ne: Supremo
:Denmark: :hu: zTsoso

I'm curious as to why Mog swapped into this high-tier match, but he must have some good reason. This is the only match being played on Emerald Shores, so it should be a good one to watch. Mog took an easy win with some mapluck in round 1, but I see him coming through strong in this Round as well.

M9
:Russia: :ra: qwest
:USA: :ne: Mog[Skynet] :Germany: :orc: Ostone
:Germany: :hu: Yaws
:United_Kingdom: :ne: WarchiefRich

Ostone got swapped into this match, which might throw him slightly off. Yaws won't have as easy a time in this game as Round 1 due to higher player skill and smaller map. The map does favor turtling a bit, so qwest may have an added advantage from that. Overall though I see Yaws coming out ahead.

M10
:Germany: :ud: PwNu.Wan
:Peru: :ud: NoMercy2
:USA: :ud: Red7z7
:Russia: :ra: Sk2Flash

M11
:USA: :ra: Persuade :Germany: :orc: Lightweight
:Belgium: :ne: MattiasG
:France: :ne: Meeds
:USA: :ra: Seksi

I don't think seksi will let his close Round 1 game seal his fate. He also plays more playFFA than the others and thus is probably a bit more adaptable to new situations, such as this new map will provide.

M12
:Russia: :ra: AJIKAIII
:USA: :ud: SteppinRazor
:Germany: :orc: Lightweight :USA: :ra: Persuade
:Germany: :orc: Pinballmap

Persuade has strongest skills in this match, and its his swap match as well which I'll presume gives him added advantage and incentive.

M13
:USA: :orc: Ashalar
:Switzerland: :hu: Noexxx
:Russia: :orc: Ludix Sub
:Russia: :ud: DNIWE-VOVA

If Ludix shows up I think he has the best chances, but he hasn't responded in schedule thread yet so I think it's doubtful. I think Vova has the strongest play after Ludix, but many possible subs are quite strong like Wreck.

M14
:Belarus: :ne: yaodintakoi
:USA: :ra: Re-Chavez Sub
:Kazakhstan: :ud: DV-
:USA: :ud: RSM

After a series of unfortunate events with DDOS and misscheduling, RSM managed to have 10 points AND be placed in one of the lower tier games. Chavez hasn't scheduled yet so I think it's likely he won't show which means the sub could be pretty strong too.
