Will it be the zoo? Hardly, as they fell to americans in what I consider to be a disapointing loss for the beasts in the zoo. I had thought the zoo would force their hand on cmt4, but fired played like manly men and kept the beasts of the Zoo in their cages. So for the Silver Cup it will be Kala vs Fired: and although I love the game Kala brings, I suspect they will be more adversely affected by the higher pings they will encounter in this match than Fired. Indeed Fired are the truly adapt ones at playing at higher pings; there can be no doubt. I think this series will go 3-1 to Fired, though I do hope asp and harsh dudes on Kala can show Fired the true meaning of playing qw tdm from a finnish sauna:)

In the Bronze Cup it will be Holy vs Olw. Being that I was totally wrong about Olw against both the osams and a2k, I am probably totally wrong in predicting Holy to take this Bronze Cup over Olw. I think Olw will take dm2 and dm3. But Holy should take cmt 4 and the episode maps. Rigormortis and daeagle will likely not be upset if they can 'steal' dm3, but I don't think Holy will count it; still less on dm2. Olw are not weak on cmt4, and their chance to take the Bronze Cup will ride on them winning dm2, cmt4 and taking dm3, even though it hasn't been their greatest map through the regular season. The truth I see no clear winner in this Final, and for this reason I predict we will see a close series of games, likely even five games. But nothing has gone as predicted in the Bronze Cup, so my idea that dm3 --- neither team's favourite map --- will be pivotal to the outcome may be entirely out off base. It is just a hunch....a loving hunch:)

Who rub out the Hib? Has someone rubbed out the Hib already? I have tried to reach the Hibster to interview him....but he seems afk or offline.

The Hib factor is the main thing that needs to be addressed by FS and razor in the upcoming Gold Cup semi. Being a best of 5, I predict the maps to go 3-2 to the slackers, maKIng for a much-anticipated LA-SR Final. However I am very often wrong, and there are good reasons for FS fans to think I am wrong in this prediction.

FS will take dm2 and e1m2. SR will take cmt4 and dm3. Many FS fans believe that reppie and his men can take dm3 off of SR; if they are correct, then SR won't advance. That said, I do see the dm3 game as pivotal for both teams. If we do see e2m2tdm, I favour SR.

In faCT, i think the only clan remaining who will take e2m2tdm off of the slackers is LA. As for FS vs SR, I think reppie/blxm will have to raise their games to take out hib and his men; perhaps nerves will be the deciding factor for FS....just staying cool headed might the ticket?

As is my custom, I wish strength and honour to those about to battle!
Rage, rage against the dying of the light....and feel the love:P
