BWCL Premier League Playday 12 Predictions
fourvisionsvs. Excello» Bet!
fourvisions has left the league and Excello have received an automatic 7-0 win.
All Aggression ProTeamvs. Templars of Twilight» Bet!
Artanis predicts: I predict 5-2 for ToT on the first match. A2 has proven to be quite a good team when they played MYM, but they lack the raw 2v2 power given through LJT, and Mondragon rarely loses his 1v1 match. The rest of the team is solid too.
Mondragon predicts: A2 versus ToT will be a tough match and I predict a close 4-3 or 5-2 for ToT.
Micro predicts: With ToT) already winning this event, I think we'll see some players that haven't been upfront in a while.. Avernum/Spawn, but I still think ToT) Will win by a landslide.
MicroGamerZvs. inFernoesports» Bet!
Artanis predicts: MgZ seems to be quite stable on the third place, while inF will have to fight for fourth place. I think they'll come in with more motivation to perform and keep their spot, possibly even gaining one with a big upset. MgZ is certainly no easy target, so I predict 4-3 for inF.
Mondragon predicts: inF vs MgZ will be a very interesting clanwar to watch. inF seems to do very well so far and MgZ is one of the favorties of the league. Still I think MgZ will take inF down; 5-2
Micro predicts: Though everyone is on an MGZ) Bandwagon right now, Inferno has been taking down a lot of good teams and showing their true colors. 4-3 or 5-2 for Inf
Czech Demolition Squadvs. 3D Clan» Bet!
Artanis predicts: What can I say, I love the czechs. They performed averagely in the league, not getting too many wins nor losses, while 3DClan has performed quite poorly. I think CDS will win through consistency, with PredY and Lopata being their main 1v1 drive, and Gantrior a powerful 2v2 player. 5-2 for CDS.
Mondragon predicts: I think that CDS will win 4-3. They're doing a very fine job this season.
Micro predicts: Czech Demolition Squad vs 3D Clan: I think CDS is always under estimated.. They have a lot of very good players, and quite a few of people well known for 3D are playing for their other teams. I believe CDS will 6-1 against 3D.
DkH.Keywebvs. Los Reyes Del Mambo» Bet!
Artanis predicts: DkH vs LRM is the fight of the underrated teams. Both teams have excellent skill, and especially DkH has surprised in this league with some very surprising results, such as beating Media with 6-1. In LRM, only Odin truly stands out, but the rest is quite consistent. This could go 4-3 either way.
Mondragon predicts: DkH vs LRM will be very interesting for most of the people I guess, but my prediction is that DkH will utterly destroy LRM.
Micro predicts: Germany's #1 clan will put up a very match against LRM, with Suncow now in their ranks and LRM though has put up a lot of great fights. This will be the series of the week, with it going down to the last 2v2.. 4-3 LRM
Micro Mediavs. United TeaM» Bet!
Artanis predicts: Micro Media has really shown some improvements halfway through the season, especially with their new polish 2on2 team. uT) thrives from consistency, with almost all matches going 3-4 or 4-3. However, I do think that the combination of artosis/idra/skew and their new 2on2 team will prove too much for uT). 5-2 for media.
Mondragon predicts: Media is the clear favorite against uT. My guess is a clear 6-1 or 5-2.
Micro predicts: It seems every [Media] member is playing in showmatches right now and winning. They're in the spotlight but uT, the team that gave ToT) their biggest challange will make it very interesting. Though 4-3 for MM will be the outcome.
MeetYourMakersvs. Shock Squadron» Bet!
Artanis predicts: It will really depend a lot on if MYM can bring their line to the match. They have one of the best teams around, but due to inconsistency with their lineup they lost way too many points in this league. If MYM can get their line together, they should be able to defeat S2 with a score of 5-2, but it will be hard. If S2 brings their best and MYM doesn't, they will win.
Mondragon predicts: Usually MYM should destroy S2 but due to their organsiation I doubt that they will show up with a decent Lineup. Even tho they will win.
Micro predicts: If MYM brings players, it will be a very good matchup. If they follow the weeks before then you can except S2 to roll over them. MYM brings players they win 5-2, MYM doesn't - 2-5.
