Week 5 Review
The Outback Fraghouse vs The Peach Creek BoysWill’s Prediction: N/A
Lasky’s Prediction: 2-0 The Outback Fraghouse
Outcome: 2-0 The Outback Fraghouse
Logs:
First Half Second Half Full MatchWill’s review: While I may not have done any predictions for this week, I saw this scoreline coming from a mile away. The Outback Fraghouse just overall out performed The Peach Creek Boys.
Pizzagun8 and
Uber Alles certainly did not have a bad match, but it was not enough to keep up.

We Overslept.. vs No.3 PencilsWill’s Prediction: N/A
Lasky’s Prediction: 1-2 No.3 Pencils
MOTWOutcome: 0-2 No.3 Pencils
Logs:
First Half Second Half Third HalfWill’s review: This match was MUCH closer than the 0-2 score reads. Overall No.3 Pencils only beat We Overslept… by 8 frags and 2000 damage. Classes were also fairly even as well, with the standouts being the flank for No.3 Pencils.
beep and
spaghetti out fragged the flank of We Overslept… by 15 frags, providing a lot of breathing room for their combo.
MANA-_-TEA had a great game top fragging in the server with 39 and winning out in the SvS by 6 frags, but unfortunately it was not enough for his team to go off of.
Lasky’s review: Thi was a rough loss for We Overslept… Both their combo and sniper had a very good game, with
MANA-_-TEA top fragging and
Soap top damaging. Unfortunately for them, No.3 Pencils’ flank had a monster of a game, with
beep and
spaghetti combining for 63 frags. This was enough to completely turn a close game and secure a win for No.3 Pencils.
Will’s MVP:
spaghetti

Train Station vs Indian PaniniWill’s Prediction: N/A
Lasky’s Prediction: 2-0 Train Station
Outcome: 2-0 Train Station
Logs:
First Half Second Half Full MatchWill’s review: While I certainly did not expect Indian Panini to pick up a round, I did not expect the match to basically be a slaughter. Heading the charge is
Jinzo with an insane 44-9 over the course of the match.
mel0n for Indian Panini top fragged his team with 22, but a scout can only do so much on a combo heavy map like Vigil.
Lasky’s Review: As expected, Train Station’s absolutely superior combo gave them an easy win. Both
Jinzo and
c0ry pounded in this one, with both of them dropping over 450 dpm overall. Additionally
Jinzo top fragged the server at 44. Like I said, it’s unfortunate for Indian Panini to get this matchup, as the map favored Train Station’s standout players while punishing Indian Panini’s.
Will’s MVP:
Jinzo
Lasky’s MVP:
Jinzo
Five Days vs AureusWill’s Prediction: N/A
Lasky’s Prediction: 0-2 Aureus
Outcome: 2-0 Five Days
Logs:
First Half Second HalfWill’s review: While not a dominating performance from Five Days, they definitely had the upper hand.
Bon Qui Qui had a very strong showing, top fragging in the server at 45 frags.
DeanTheTurtle also had a good game, top damaging both halves and got 42 frags.
Lasky’s review: Despite the 2-0 score, Aureus put up a hell of a fight.
DeanTheTurtle had a monster of a game, with 484 dpm overall.
vohh also carried his weight, matching his opposite number and winning the svs 8-4. Unfortunately for Aureus, Five Days had great power in both their flank and combo, with
Papa Peach and
Soala combining for 61 frags, and
Bon Qui Qui having a monster game top fragging at 45.
Will’s MVP:
Bon Qui Qui

dog vs EVHS CheerleadersWill’s Prediction: N/A
Lasky’s Prediction: 2-0 dog
Outcome: 2-0 dog
Logs:
First Half Second Half Full MatchWill’s review: It’s crazy to think originally we had EVHS Cheerleaders as one of the top teams in the division, only for them to go 1-4 then dying. I seriously wonder if EVHS Cheerleaders was even trying in this match or if they saw the writing on the wall and just stopped caring.
Lasky’s review: Will is mean but I have to agree.

Week 6 Review
The Outback Fraghouse vs Five DaysWill’s Prediction: N/A
Lasky’s Prediction: N/A
Outcome: 4-1 The Outback Fraghouse
Logs:
First Half Second Half Full MatchWill’s review: The Outback Fraghouse’s dominance of Main continues. Even though The Outback Fraghouse won, the frags and damage were extremely close. This leads me to believe Five Days was not taking advantage of the bomb of a game
Powerpuker had, who 3 way tied top fragging in the server with 42 and top damaging in the server with 17000. Alternatively, they could have feared
trxter who 8 med picks and 7 demo picks, effectively stopping any momentum.
Lasky’s Review: Once again, the Outback Fraghouse shows why they’re a favorite for placement.
trxter and
reigh combined for 80 kills overall. Additionally, almost every single class on The Outback Fraghouse ever so slightly outperformed their opposite number. The exceptions to this are
Lary and
Powerpuker, who tied topfragging the server at 42. Unfortunately for them, it wasn’t enough to pull it back.
Will’s MVP:
trxtr
Lasky’s MVP:

No.3 Pencils vs Train StationWill’s Prediction: N/A
Lasky’s Prediction: N/A
Outcome: 1-4 Train Station
Logs:
First Half Second Half Full MatchWill’s review: I don’t know if anyone saw this outcome happening. The seasoned combo from No.3 Pencils seemed to either not be in sync or just having a rough game, with
c0ry and
Jinzo outfragging them by almost double.
asian had top fragging in the server and top damaging for his team, but he can only do so much if his combo couldn’t follow up.
Lasky’s review: Had predictions come out, I probably would have said 4-2 No.3 Pencils. This game was definitely an upset, with
c0ry leading the charge. Every single class on No.3 Pencils got outmatched by their counterpart, with the exceptions being
asian, and
spaghetti. Train Station’s combo had a hell of a match, with
Jinzo and
c0ry absolutely pounding throughout the game.

dog vs We Overslept...Will’s Prediction: N/A
Lasky’s Prediction: N/A
Outcome: 4-0 dog
Logs:
First Half Second HalfWill’s review: This was just not We Overslept... ‘s match, as they just were not able to get anything going. Dog was just the clearly superior team, out performing We Overslept… entirely.
Lasky’s Review: Once again, not much to say. Will is the article god. (It’s me but don’t tell him I said that)

Utopia Turned Dystopian vs AureusWill’s Prediction: N/A
Lasky’s Prediction: N/A
Outcome: 0-4 Aureus
Logs:
First Half Second HalfWill’s review: Utopia Turned Dystopian’s loss on Product makes them 0/3 on King of the Hill.
Kalvyn and
Bagel had good performances, but realistically Aureus just played a better game of Product.
Lasky’s review: Utopia Turned Dystopian’s koth woes continue. Despite a strong performance from
ally, Aureus absolutely stomped this game.
DeanTheTurtle stomped all over everything this game, dropping 685 dpm and getting 4 medpicks. Additionally,
Bagel went 29/8 overall. This strong combo presence combined with Utopia Turned Dystopian’s lack of a main demo caused this match to be one sided from the beginning.
Will’s MVP:
Kalvyn
Lasky’s MVP:
DeanTheTurtle
The Peach Creek Boys vs Indian PaniniWill’s Prediction: N/A
Lasky’s Prediction: N/A
Outcome: 2-4 Indian Panini
Logs:
First Half Second Half Third HalfWill’s review: This outcome is pretty surprising, as The Peach Creek Boys definitely appears to be the better team. They were even able to outfrag Indian Panini by 22. Every round either went into double overtime or was extremely close. This leads me to believe The Peach Creek Boys has trouble pushing off frags.
Lasky’s review: Essentially what Will said. There aren’t any standout players on Indian Panini that single handedly pushed this game over the edge, it’s just that Indian Panini played off their frags better, especially in the second half.

Week 7 Predictions
Lasky has been busy recently and did not have time to finish the predictions.
The Outback Fraghouse vs dogWill’s Prediction: 1-2 dog
MOTWWill’s Preview: With dog’s recent roster changes they have been extremely strong, strong enough I think to take the win against The Outback Fraghouse on a heavy coordination map of Steel. I expect both combos to play a massive role in deciding the outcome of this match.
Will’s Players to Watch:
Toucan Slam,
Rikuus
Train Station vs AureusWill’s Prediction: Train Station: 2-0
Lasky’s Prediction:
Will’s preview: A high main team faces a mid main team on the cusp of playoffs. Unfortunately for Aureus, I just can’t see them taking a round off Train Station.
DeanTheTurtle will more than likely have a huge game, but Train Station will overall be better.
Will’s Players to watch:
Jinzo,
DeanTheTurtle
No.3 Pencils vs Indian PaniniWill’s Prediction: 2-0 No.3 Pencils
Will’s preview: After No.3 Pencils surprising lost to Train Station, they have to prove they are able to shake off the loss and come back stronger. Like Upward, No.3 Pencils has been playing this map for 2-4 years at this point. With Indian Panini being comprised of newer highlander players, I don’t see them able to overcome the massive amounts of experience No.3 Pencils has.

Five Days vs The Peach Creek BoysWill’s Prediction: 2-1 Five Days
Will’s preview: While Five Days is better than The Peach Creek Boys, I definitely think The Peach Creek Boys can take a round off them. If they do it will be on the back of
Uber Alles and
Mr Z going big.
Will’s Players to Watch:
Bon Qui Qui,
Uber Alles
We Overslept... vs Utopia Turned DystopianWill’s Prediction: 2-1 We Overslept...
Will’s preview: This match can definitely go either direction. These 2 teams played each other in S3 Semifinals, which was a very contested game, so We Overslept… will be wanting to prove themselves. On the other side of the coin, Utopia Turned Dystopian will be wanting to prove that they knocked them out for a reason. Depending on how the other matches go, the winner has a small chance of making the playoffs.
Will’s Players to Watch:
