drugs vs. owned
my first instinct is to say that drugs will win.. but i have already played drugs on this map this season, about 4-5 weeks ago. i was very very unimpressed. they play very gay, at least on mountain, and it wasn't even an impressive style of gay like thunder. thunder plays gay, and you still feel like you get outskilled, on top of being gayed, not just gayed. vs drugs on harry, i just felt gayed. i feel like drugs will come out with that passive style of gay play, especially at mountain, and owned will be aggressive. as long as owned can start fast and penetrate that passive style that drugs will most likely play, that should set the tempo for the rest of the half/match with pinning drugs back against their flags in a defensive mode. Owned on the other hand has impressed me every time ive played them, even without their guy r0dz who most people consider to be their best player. their rifles are very good, their sniper should have no problem with jigsaw, but the heavy route at mountain will be much more even. once again, im fighting the urge to say mista and taylor will dominate, because thats what i thought going into last match vs drugs and i was wrong going against milo/taylor. mountain will be a battle to watch for sure.
owned > drugs, due to the unimpressive way that drugs beat us on harrington last month. but that is the upset prediction, and drugs may very well roll over owned and that wouldnt surprise me at all if that happened.
players to watch
drugs: taylor, greetz, mista
owned: cAss, Pdx (r0dz if he plays)
mindflow vs. mvp
So, austin is on mindflow? my prediction here is based on austin's pre-game activities. if he will be lifting any pebbles, i dont think he'll be able to carry anybody due to jello arm syndrome. i also don't know what classes austin and pat will be playing... but something tells me if pat snipes middle on harrington, and it's NOT against austin, he will be able to lock it down, and even own guys at mountain from midhouse. But, if schmiggs snipes, it will not go over as well. outside of slaya and fallen, i dont recognize many ppl on mindless' roster, but they do have the best record. so, if pat snipes middle against someone other than austin, i feel like mvp wins this. if that's not the case, it will be tough for them to win.
players to watch
mvp: pat, ace
mindflow: austin "The RoCK" keller, slaya
3h vs ghad
ugh, im losing patience to write these preds now. but by looking at these rosters, i see that 3h has a billion guys, and i have no clue who will be playing for them. and its sort of the same deal with ghad. but if both teams bring their best 6 on the tpg rosters, it feels like it can go either way. looks like a wash to me depending on who is hitting their shots and who plays better at the time. if 3h brings motive and steve h, i am confident they will be able to win with 4 other decent players on that roster. also there are certain players on the ghad roster that are gay as fuck cuzzzzz and that makes the entire roster gay by association so im going to go with 3h here since they have guys that have played in invite and played in big matches before.
players to watch
3h: steve, motive
ghad: lowcarb? so you know what NOT to do.
