skinvite
< 5.5 men
I'm not sure what is happening with skinvite but my opinion is that it clearly has something to do with with some of hsb's last season starters leaving the team combined with the guys who stayed not being as active as they were before. Although they are very familiar with the map, given it was last season's finals, I believe that the new THUNDER incarnation will be too much for them. If gaul plays, I expect him to be the guiding light in plaza kar'ing double windows like a champ but even then, with most of his team afk, all I can see is taylor and ryanemo dominating plaza while Jared and Jaggon being very busy locking bridge down both halves with cheater peeks and perfect nades.

cK has been raging towards me a lot lately. Chill the fuck out man, don't take my baits serious because I never ever intended to do anything less than pull your leg. It just happens that I beat the crap out of you in every 12man we play lmao <3. Anyway, anzio is known to be one of the so called teamwork maps so its quite obvious that there will be some tk's from both sides lol. I just hope we can practice a couple of times with our starters before the match because this going to be tough. All in all, austin keller will be dropping bombs on bridge as well as hobbler will do his best to be a pain in the ass wallhacking the the entire match. Or maybe he will be awful in matches. Who knows? Shogun knows and will call either him or vertex cheaters at some point throughout the match.

< dgf
Dgf will just roll. k4b00m left the team and that certainly weekened Shelly's squad up a bit but hey they still count with Justin Lynch's online awesomeness, don't they? Albeit the recent results proved that his almightiness have diminished considerably, who knows? Lets hope this time around he will be able to prime a nade properly. Also, expect for Watch your back baiting jaz - who will be inside ticket for a while - holding bridge on "his" own. On the nerdvirg side, with milo retiring for the 1729178th time and cableguy prolly skipping the match I really can't see chuck single handedly putting his team on the bag and carrying them through, coz he will be complaining about bullgooselooney being a cheater the whole match. Frankie will try his best (as usual) but won't be enough, again.

Main
MVPz > EVC
MVPz seems to have a really tight-knit roster this season, with half of it's starters belonging to the good old 1080p (HD). Depending on what form EVC will end up presenting - especially if b1ohazard plays - MVPz will either have a difficult or easy match. If b1ohazard plays, the sniper battle between him and Charles will be really interesting to watch. MeganFox is also a good rifle and his clash against Subject will be also good to see. Outcome is going to be pretty much the same of what we have been seeing thus far: MVPz staying undefeated until playoffs.

toggles > KS
Can't be unbiased on that. No way I would predict a team that won a season ff'ing their opponents winning. Ever. Lol. Seriously though, toggle will just roll. Wait for tenks "tenking" people down in plaza while Hank will be getting plenty of kills whatever route he prefer to go. Dyelife dominance on bridge will help them to segure the other side of the map, allowing toggle another step up towards their attempt to spoil MVPz and NoGo aspirations for the Main championship. Jeremy Lin and the chinese Fail guy will try their best but in the end, they won't be able to stop toggle team sick nasty dod skillzZZzZzz.

< TBA
I'll vouch for the invite team playing on Main division, obviously! Quite easy to know what outcome to expect in matches like haha! Sence and Dagun are carrying htk in their bags so fat but lets face it: TBA will be just too much for them to handle. I expect Kevin and Joel to elaborate funny lines while being interp'd by the aforementioned htk stars but these ephemeral rage moments will became a thing in the past because hildebrand, miller and bEnSaNe <3 will torn them apart. Easy win for TBA!

38th
< NoGo
That's a tough call but I think I'll go with NoGo (apologies for the paronomasia =D) mainly because they happen to be one of the top contenders for this season Main championship. Khoi's squad core players have been playing together for like 3 or more seasons already and even though I notice some of the 38th guys practicing a lot, the expected teamwork of NoGo will likely prevail. E-neg, Joshinator and Spider will have to play their best if they want to prove me wrong!

TeamLess > Subpar at Best
TeamLess is another team that no matter what result they get, they're still together and having fun. I like practically every one of them as well and I really believe that if they put a little more effort into practicing together they will become the team to be beaten in Main. SaB in the other hand is now on the spotlight with the addition of nothing less than Chris "whiskers" K4b00m, who recently left dgf and can pretty much bend a match result to his will. All in all, I'll stick with the guys without a team this time around.
