SR vs CMF: will the Curse get cracked? 050122
|

well on paper how can you not favour cmf? they are one of the greatest foursomes in qw tdm; they are built to win championships. but i thought the same about LA going into the semis; all sr did was prove that they have that amazing will to win when it matters.
look for sr to try to sneak a win out of dm2 or dm3 and to try to take it home on cmt3/4. bear in mind that siv and hlt, two of the best cmf players, just don't like the cmts and would rather not play them at all. that leaves angua, fix and fifi to share the lg in the cmt4 quad room. will that be enough to hold off xerial and his manly men on cmt 4? i doubt sr will lose cmt 4. but cmt 3 is another story.
I expect this series to go five maps and to be decided on cmt 3. I think cmt 3 will be a serious showdown, as cmf is very efficient on it. While LA's loss to sr could be excused as happening because they are something of a tb3-only clan, there is no such charge that can used against cmf. I expect these so-called cursed cmf players to beat off their nqr curse against sr on cmt 3. for on papaer how can you bet against cmf? well i guess the game isn't played out on paper, so there is hope for sr and their fans!
i see this as being one of the all-time great match ups just in anticipation of the match being played and i am not sure why. is it the whole cmf curse thing? is finally seeing a guy like fifi, who has be around for a long time, finally play in a championship match where he may be victorious? yes all those things exist, but i don't think that's all of it for me. is the maps? i can assure you the map pool doesn't make the game for me as it does seem to for so many. i think it has to do with the great respect i have for the players in this game on both sides. i have known some of them for many years and have watched some of them develop their tdm skills for years prior to this and now seeing them head into this championship seems like a great culmination to all that practising and effort. perhaps also i see these two clans as some possessing some of best sportsmanship in qw. well i wish that both clans bring their best teamplay and skills to championship match this coming sunday: strength and honour to those about to battle!
