This one might be weird. It's a hoarding map, so the last thing you want to do is rush... right?  Well it's exactly because of that, that it will be effective.  So shit will happen, i have no clue what, and w8man will win.

M10
Q-veta
Humans7ar
Renaud
DarkMessiah

3 hu, 1 elf, pretty easy to figure out what will happen, tanks will be made, mass tp will be reached, teaming will go on, and we will spend HOURS in there, talking and chatting.  Q will be teamed for having an Alch, Humans7ar will be teamed for having an AM, Eshan will be teamed because no one (beside me) will believe what he says.  Result, no one teams the poor weak elf who comes from behind to win!

ARGH!  I love to vote vs ugri... but hes vs dase!!!   However, he has a very strong "survive and harass" style, and he is on a "survive and harass" map

M13
Walking.TRL
JoHnY-BoY

He is a solid player, assuming he shows up he should be able to pull a win off!

hmmm when in doubt vote for the Canadian

M15

ORK ORK!  Darkness should easily win this, so he will be teamed, stuff will happen, everyone will die, and wreck will live because of some lucky thing he had no control over.  That's the playstyle of a true King.

Aggressive players, so ill go with the power!

I was 2/8 last time, lets go for 4/8 this time!!

  y.zenchenko
  PLZLEAVEDUCK
  W8man
  Kruppe

easy win for yz here

  Q-veta
  Humans7ar
    Renaud
  DarkMessiah

this gonna be a ridiculous manip-fest, where renaud stays cool and chims his way to victory

  3wd.Simo
  rygorych
  QHKane
  Dkh.Starshaped

kane and rygorych will hoard like hoarders do and in the end maga wins cuz starshaped does not know the map

  Daselend
  Slythe
  L77
  Ugrilainen

this does not look any easier than my first round... l77 and ugri have rly good macro, l77 super-base builds and ugri with his inferior hero-combo will be successful meanwhile dase gets teamed and i lose too much vs creeps, going 80 too early for being in the mix. i really did not have many good games which ended well for me on that map, awwwwww !

  Walking.TRL
  JoHnY-BoY
  KiLLyoSeLF
  bRain.Man

just a guess

my match of the week
besides rain everyone else is much better than their results had been past games.
sparkle gonna take it since his style fits the map well.

  SteppinRazor
  Paterique
  DarknessCallsMe 
  KING.WRECKTIFY

this does not look like a 5 pts game... darkness will reign supreme unless someone turns the lights on



  UnholyDreadlorD

  Rebuke[Skynet]

buke will get teamed after taking out one early, the guy though will rebuild somehow and makes it extremely hard , but when he is focused buke should and must take that game.

[SteppinRazor]

  y.zenchenko
  PLZLEAVEDUCK
  W8man
  Kruppe

  YZ has this I think.  Seems likely that this duck guy will probably rush whoever is closest to him, but since its gold rush rushing someone out never actually works

  Q-veta
  Humans7ar
  Renaud
  DarkMessiah

 Seems like this could potentially be a 20 hour long game with 2 humans, macro-master renaud, and manip master eshan.  Regardless of anything, renaud will hoard atleast 40k and chim his opponents to oblivion

  3wd.Simo
  rygorych
  QHKane
  Dkh.Starshaped

Call me crazy for choosing this, but maga is going to have a damn hard time beating/being teamed by two humans + ebo who will hoard like insane on this map. 

  Daselend
  Slythe
  L77
  Ugrilainen

 DasElend will get a big army fast and start raping faces which will lead to him getting teamed.  Assuming this happens, sly should be able to grab the sneaky win

  Walking.TRL
  JoHnY-BoY
  KiLLyoSeLF
  bRain.Man

 He should win this as long as he doesnt random undead

  Kajetan 
  dkh.Rain

 I think this will be close though

  Rebuke[Skynet]

 Cant really see Rebuke losing unless he gets hardcore teamed.

[rygorych]

I don't hoard, certainly not on this map. I still have nightmares of a 6+ hours long gold rush I played a few seasons ago. Anyone who hoards on this map should be suicided. I will 100 food hit anyone who is still hoarding after 20 min mark. Unless Starshaped rushes me out of course, heh

[humans7ar]

M9
y.zenchenko
PLZLEAVEDUCK
W8man
Kruppe

y.z strongest no question... i think he will rush out w8man... i see 3 lvl10 imba orc heros... match of the week... :)


M10
Q-veta
Humans7ar
Renaud
DarkMessiah

hi, peace?

M11
3wd.Simo
rygorych
QHKane
Dkh.Starshaped

simo strongest i think... but what will happen if starshaped starts next to him? xD i think it will be a short 4man ffa and a long long long 3 way game... maybe kane will help him since he dont play for teh win... if no rush i see 3 lvl10 ud heros...

M12
Daselend
Slythe
L77
Ugrilainen

hard to say.... ugri l77 and sly 3 macro gamer... dase strongest.. but in the end i see mass tanks/gryphons will win teh game =)

M13
Walking.TRL
JoHnY-BoY
KiLLyoSeLF
bRain.Man

walking.trl is good he will just win his 1v1...
brain.man - orc and then he just destroy whatever comes... in teh end walking trl vs brain.man...

M14
Kajetan
dkh.Rain
darkermirror
Red7z7

dkh.rain wins if not 3vs 1 xD

M15
SteppinRazor
Paterique
DarknessCallsMe

first round he was unlucky... if noone rushs him again he will win... i see 3 lvl 10 heros.... fear him team him xD

rebuke favorite here.... but i vote for pinball gg

Should be a great game.  I see duck hitting someone early on and getting the early hero advantage.

M10
Q-veta
Humans7ar
Renaud
DarkMessiah

Underrated I think, and mass tanks will be had.

M11
3wd.Simo
rygorych
QHKane
Dkh.Starshaped

I see either starshaped or kane taking down rygo and then maga getting a fairly easy win with the leftovers.

M12
Daselend
Slythe
L77
Ugrilainen

Should be an interesting match, but I think Dase will take it.

M13
Walking.TRL

Don't know many of these people that well, but Johny has looked pretty good in the few games I've seen him play.  Random shot in the dark here.

M14
Kajetan
dkh.Rain
darkermirror
Red7z7

Rain has been pretty quiet so far, I think he'll pull off a win here.

M15
SteppinRazor
Paterique
DarknessCallsMe
KING.WRECKTIFY

Depends on teaming a lot I think, darkness should have it though I think.

M16
UnholyDreadlorD
Pinballmap
Persuade
Rebuke[Skynet]

Going to be a very quick match a think, I'll take Rebuke in it.  I can't wait to see how Persuade plays this though

[blooder]

I did 4 games of 8 right in round one. And this is my new forecast,  i sure at least 5 of it will be true.
M9. PLZLEAVEDACK
Dunno why, but he seems to me like darkhorse, and if yz and w8man won't team hard he will win.
M10. DarkMessiah
That guy can make win streaks.
M11. Dkh.Starshaped
Match of the week for me. Stars plays very good, and he had a chance to win in all his games, if he will rush out Rygo, he will win Simo and Kane. Also it will be fun if Kane and Stars will face.
M12. Slythe
I prefer his random, then Dase's elf.
M13. Brain.Man
Strong human, good micro. He can.
M14. Dkh.Rain
He have to.
M15. Paterique. 
M16.Rebuke[skynet]
Just the strongest player here.

[FML|red7z7]

i think duck will try to rush out y.z as he likes to rush out the strongest opponent. but i dont think it will work here and y.z will get dat unstoppable orc army.

M10
Q-veta
Humans7ar
Renaud
DarkMessiah

match of the week for sure. i assume messiah will pick a race appropriate for the map and will fight tooth and claw for the win on this crazy shit map

M11
3wd.Simo
rygorych
QHKane
Dkh.Starshaped

some players just cant be touched when they have gold in the bank, which will happen on this map. simo wont get rushed out by star, because simo never gets rushed out.

M12
Daselend
Slythe
L77
Ugrilainen

like above, dase will be unstoppable once he reaches critical gold mass. seeing as how he got rushed out by htrt in s10 finals, i think he is wiser now and wont let that shit happen again

M13
Walking.TRL
JoHnY-BoY

after brain man is subbed for not showing up, walking will sweep with nice micro and good sense

wreck just wins games, and darkness loses them lately. but darkness is mad from getting rushed out by star so he will be fucking fearsome this game

M16

Rebuke[Skynet]

rebuke, like dase and maga will be unstoppable with gold in the bank. his control is fantastic

Round 2
Map: Gold Rush
:Goldrush2:

y.zenchenko
PLZLEAVEDUCK
W8man
Kruppe

=Y.z. hits anything that moves and you just can't do that on this map. Duck will play aggressive and smart. W8man will be forced to stop hoarding. Kruppe... I don't know, but his micro is a bit worse than the others' and he doesn't seem like a good team player.
Advice to the underdog (Kruppe): team smart. Make peace early but don't let anyone hoard.

M10
Q-veta
Humans7ar
Renaud
DarkMessiah
=Depending on the hero combo (I assume AM/MK/PAL), Human* likely has the best chances here. Rena and Eshan are the wildcards in terms of what race they go, and alot will stem from that. Eshan's manip is getting tired and noone believes him, so hopefully Monsoon was hit last win this season. Q-veta is a little rusty and will need to play smart to win this one.
Advice to the underdog (Q): Don't trust Eshan.

M11
3wd.Simo
rygorych
QHKane
Dkh.Starshaped
=Easy one for Simomaga. Starshaped's rush plays into his hands no matter what. Even if Starshaped rushes Simo, Simo will win the 1v1 with ud>hu early game imba. Once SS is out, Maga vs QHKane or Rygo is... mhaw... yeah.
Advice to the underdog (QHKane): peace up with Rygo (the other underdog!) when the time is right. Oh and don't backstab on this map. Even if simomaga dies, he may be rebuilding across the map, so scout well!


M12
Daselend
Slythe
L77
Ugrilainen
=Dase + gold =.... yeah. I'd love for slythe to win, but his helping darkness on monsoon kinda shattered my good faith in his macro.
Advice to the underdog (l77): Peace up with Ugri or Slythe depending on the situation, tower up hard, team hard, don't let Dase rebuild.

M13
Walking.TRL
JoHnY-BoY
KiLLyoSeLF
bRain.Man
=Easy victory for team British Columbia. Brolove is in the air!
Advice to the underdogs (Johny/Brain):  team up and 2v2 the bros. Don't fight one another until at least one of the bros is DOWN.

M14
Kajetan
dkh.Rain
darkermirror
Red7z7
=I really want to root for Sparkle, who seems to have bad luck over and over. But DKH is just too high above here, and will not lose unless he fights Darker for too long.
Advice to the underdog (red7): Scout hard. If Rain and Darker are fighting, let them. Hoard up. Then team up with Spark vs the winner, then battle it out 1v1 40k gold vs 40k gold.

M15
SteppinRazor
Paterique
DarknessCallsMe
KING.WRECKTIFY
=I'm rooting for Pat, but Darkness has this. I think even if 3 players team up on Darkness, he has a good chance of winning.
Advice to the underdogs (everyone except Darkness): triple team rush Darkness. Probably your only chance at this. Oh and darkness goes to the double loser bracket.

M16
UnholyDreadlorD
Pinballmap
Persuade
Rebuke[Skynet]
=Yeah, unfortunately there is no YZ to completely wipe out Rebuke's 80 food rush on closest neighbor.
Advice to the underdogs (all except Rebuke): Here is how 99% rebuke games go: he goes 80 quickly and tomes closest player. Solution: when he is toming the closest player, hit his main. Preferably together. Then he cries, then he leaves. Good game.

[FML|Renaud]

Lol, i love the advice to the underdog section :D

[Peregrine]

I'm playing human now, renaud?

[Kruppe]

Thanks for your advice, Sir Rygorych!

By studying your post I noticed a picture of Farrokh Bulsara, who is by all means Kruppe's favorite performer of the fine arts!

Like this great Sir I do not like to whisper behind anyone others' back. I am very open to help somebody if necessary, but I never use private messages.

Kruppe tries do be a honorable man and the intrigue is the breed of the mediocre and the cowards, often combined.

Although you are right in your assumption, that clicking wildly around with mouses and keyboards is not at all Kruppe's passion.

How should I enjoy a game without eating, drinking and smoking if I had to exchange that to build a cathedral of APM?

Best regards,
Kruppe

So i guessed you will be

[rygorych]

 the intrigue is the breed of the mediocre and the cowards, often combined.

Oh, you mean the intelligent ones. 

Everyone cheeses their own way. Some with heroes, other with intrigues. Kind of like in real life. Except in real life heroes die.
