Div 2A As predicted, Elaintarha are running away clear at the top of division 2a. They had a tough time of it against Boefje and New Wave, but they came through these two tests unscathed. They have one match left to complete what would be an impressive 100% record. It?s hard to see many teams being able to beat them in the playoffs either. Behind them, boefje and Oblivion look well set for a playoff spot, with 13 points each. The 4th spot is well up for grabs and any one of 4 clans could grab it. New Wave have shown nice form recently and could steal in at the last moment, but they may end up rueing their 4 defeats so far this season. MNY have to be favourites currently, but JAMS will fancy their chances due to their strength on the CMT maps. Prediction: Zoo, Boefje, Oblivion, MNY Div 2B My pre-season favourites for division 2b have slipped up in the past week; Suddendeath lost to Undisputed Paranoic Sensations. This result means two things: Vets are now favourites for the 2B title (they have a 100% record, but are yet to play SD or UPS), and UPS are now in with a great shout of a playoff spot. The Russian clan has only played 4 matches but they?ve lost just once, and with players like XN and Killis (kzech), they will be tough to stop. The 4th playoff spot is still up for grabs; Suspected can still make it if they step up their activity but I think it?s between Polish clan Death Dealers and the Fins from Toolo Locals. Prediction: =V=, SD, UPS, D2 Div 1A The result of div 1A could hinge on whether LA can play the rest of their games or not. If so, they will have no trouble in taking home the 1A #1 spot. They do still need to play Fragomatic, but I don?t envisage them slipping up there. CMF continue to look strong and are favourites for 2nd place at the moment, but fOm will be very tough opponents. Much like Suspected in 2B, fOm?s success will rest on how many games they can get played. If they can play enough matches then they have a real chance of finishing in the top 2. The 4th spot should be taken by Hard Guns Crew, unless something miraculous happens regarding the fortunes of Tribe of Tjernobyl or Hyphen. Prediction: LA, CMF, fOm, HGC Div 1B Slackers this week took a key victory by beating Firing Squad 2-1. This result means that they are firm favourites to get into 2nd place and thus ensure an ?easier? game in the playoff quarter-finals. Griffins Tappra Gossar have played 5 out of 9 games without losing and are favourites to take the division title as long as they can beat FS; if not, then SR may squeeze into 1st place due to their superior Frag difference. If SR end up in 2nd place, we could be looking at the SR-LA showdown in the semi-finals? I?ve said before that the 4th playoff spot is anybody?s in this division, but I didn?t expect Insanity to be challenging for it. Since they recruited Wigorf to their team they have looked a lot strong and will be hopeful of squeezing into the 4th position. However, their last 2 games are against GTG and Game Over and so one would not expect them to pick up more than 1 or 2 more points at the most. If Game Over and KOFF get their act together, I would expect them to be pushing for the 4th spot too, as well as Team Freedom. This one is very very tough to call and it?s going to be an exciting finish to the season. Prediction: GTG, SR, FS, GO 5 comments |
