Welcome to GotFrag's Weekly Day of Defeat Predictions. This feature will have predictions of CAL-M Season XII Week 5.


GIMP



vs.

Demolition

This is a good match of two very strong 3-1 teams. It should prove to be a very fast paced match, and both teams will be working hard for a win here. A 5-1 record heading down the stretch towards playoffs helps a lot more than a 3-2 record which one team will have by the end of the night. Once again I think individual skill will make or break this match, and I think that GIMP takes the cake in this one. Look for strong performances out of kroD on Demolition and Heineken & G-Dog of GIMP; this is a match to pay attention to.

OLEARY's Prediction: GIMP by 100-

A good match-up here. Both teams have their fare share of cheaters but GIMP has the better teamwork, in spite of their ongoing search for revolt replacement. That ban should come as a hit, but I still see GIMP on top of Demolition for this one.

Todo's Prediction: GIMP by 50+

While Demolition is a decent team I don't see them taking down GIMP. GIMP is without a doubt one of the best teams in main and has only gotten better by the banning of Revolt and the recruitment of the one they call Mexicant. Maybe Josh and Chris should LAN their matches?

excelsis's Prediction: GIMP by 100+

GIMP has a well suited roster, with Gordo kar'ing, which may be the best rifle in main right now (if he’s legit); Demolition won't be able to stop them. GIMP beat knox last week only by 4, but knox is underestimated if you want to look at their record. GIMP will take this fairly easy.

deanmachine's Prediction: GIMP by 100+



sKillGamer'z



vs.

Good 4 Nothing

sKillGamer'z has always been a steady team, and they have had a similar roster for the past few seasons. I think this gives them some what of an advantage heading into this, or any match. They have decent communication and play on LAN together very often. G4N is also a decent 2-2 team this season, and coming off of a strong win vs. I AM. I think our friends from down south should have a slight skill advantage here, though. Look for them to escape with a close victory of G4n.

OLEARY's Prediction: sKillGamer'z by 100-

sKillGamer'z hasn't impressed many people, forfeiting one match as many people expect of a South American team and dropping a match against a decent Demolition team, but they're hanging in there with a 2-2 record. G4N has made lots of changes recently but they've come out with a solid roster led by stealth, who really cannot be hit at all. I wouldn't even bother shooting. Have kill bound to a button so that if you see stealth, you can just end things quickly without the frustration. Let's just go ahead and say that G4N will take this.

Todo's Prediction: G4N by 50+

Both teams are 2-2, and I know for a fact whose going to be 3-2, I don’t see anyway that G4N will lose this, I've seen stealth snipe and he’s great and whatever beast does with whatever he does (light/rifle) he’s a beast! lol also badnewspanda is an "all-star" so he'll help keep this match far from close.

polak's Prediction: G4N by 80+

With g4n's pickups of Head Like a Hole and ghandi I dunno what else to say. The roster is set with a good lineup that may require more team work than skill. But, who knows what can happen when you have well deserving CAL-I + M on one roster. Skillgamer'z are the boys from down south who rock it up. Being the best team in Argentina and playing from the same LAN center there team work.

duality's Prediction: sKillGamer'z by 100-

Don't let either of these two teams 2-2-0 record fool you. Both of these teams have the skill to roll with the best teams in main right now. SkillGamer'z the team from Argentina, did very well for themselves last season, making it deep into CAL-im playoffs. They have both highly skilled players, well developed chemistry, and phenominal teamwork. They even play at a LAN center. Good 4 Nothing has had a rough past few seasons, going 2-6 in CAL-main two seasons ago, but they stuck it out and came back to CAL-im and went 5-4. This is one of the top matchups this week and a must see, could be MOTW. This is a big game for both teams, whoever wins this will have the momentum to ride themselves to at least a winning record this season. Key players on skG'z to watch will be kurcz and lampro. Don't count out G4N just yet, XCommunistX can play big and G4N's teamwork could help them skate by with a tiny margin win. Yet if skG'z LAN center's internet does not crap out, and they show up, this match will most likely be theirs.

kroD's Prediction: sKillGamer'z by 60-


Knox



vs.

Synergy

On paper this match might seem like a close one, both teams are 2-2 and each have a win against I AM and a loss to CheckMate. But, with seasoned veterans on their roster Knox should handle this map very well. Look for Money-B and River Oyster to have good performances for Knox and for Knox to control the middle for a majority of the map. Synergy will just have to work hard at preventing all caps possible; if Knox gets into a groove it will be over sooner than you think.

OLEARY's Prediction: Knox by 150+

Knox definitely has a good paper roster, nobody can doubt that, but they find themselves midway into this season with a disappointing 2-2 record which can probably be attributed to inactivity. Synergy isn't impressing many people this season en route to a 2-2 record as well, but they haven't had to earn their record as much as Knox. Look for Knox to take this in a solid win.

Todo's Prediction: Knox by 200+

2-2 teams, but Knox has a hard schedule, and put up big points only losing by 8 to checkmate and losing to GIMP by 4. Synergy got utterly annihilated by checkmate and then forfeited their next match, so I am not sure if they are dead or what, because after getting raped by checkmate I'm sure they realized they have no chance in getting anywhere in main and playing with the big boys. Maybe if they stay in the match the whole time they will only lose by 200+ if not it might just be an FF win for knox if synergy shows up.

deanmachine's Prediction: Knox by 200+

Knox is going to steam plow Synergy. Synergy is going to do subs or what ever they do and they won’t have a chance. knox is going to get some fun movie footage. JASON I LOVE U DROP at least 80 for me ;)

polak's Prediction: Knox by 300+

One of the many lopsided matches this week, if Synergy even plays. Knox is one of the top teams in main this season, but they have two very close losses to other top main teams of CheckMate and GIMP. These guys after this point will be unstoppable until they come across another top team in either playoffs, or vying for a playoff spot. Synergy will do little to stop Knox's conquest of a playoff spot. Look for moneyb, riveroyster, and sexualmayo to put up big numbers for Knox as they swipe Synergy aside.

kroD's Prediction: Knox by 200+


pernicious Vengeance



vs.

General Infantry

pV is sporting one of the most individually skilled rosters in main this season and they have had a decent season thus far at 3-1 with a close loss to CheckMate. I do not think that the mediocre GI squad will be able to keep up with pV on a fast paced map such as railroad. pV has no need to practice that much this week; look for pV to dominate each area of the map and run amuck on GI for a majority of this map. Strong performances are expected out of Scorch and Dane this week.

OLEARY's Prediction: pV by 350+

This should prove to be a fairly easy win for pV as they bounce back from a close, controversial loss against xm on solitude. GI has dropped three this season, all to decent teams, and came out with a fairly sizeable win as far as solitude matches go in their first win last week. Basically, they're no match for pV.

Todo's Prediction: pV by 300+

Both teams have played checkmate, and comparing to how they did, pV only lost by 22 and GI only put up 26 points. Ever since GI lost killjoy and pho, it isn't the same team.

deanmachine's Prediction: pV by 250+

pV is a monster of a CAL-Main team this season; they are easily top 5 on the boards in every way. Although they hold at least one loss including preseason I don't think it is well deserved. There only draw back is the lack of practice and control for there skills. General Infantry will be mistaken if they think than can come close to beating out the amazing skill of pV.

duality's Prediction: pV by 500+

The next lopsided matchup this week. pV was heavily favored to win CAL-main this season, but with recent overturned win against GIMP and frustrating loss to CheckMate, they have a lot of work to do to take the main title. pV will be on a rampage from now on, stepping on all they play, the only team left in their way before playoffs, could be Knox. GI pulled the short straw of the stack to face an enraged pV. All of pV will put up big numbers in this easy victory.

kroD's Prediction: pV by 250+


PARA 247



vs.

Itchy Trigger Finger

On a fast paced map like dod_railroad Itchy Trigger Finger should not have too much trouble handling the PARA247 squad. PARA247 is 0-4 this season, and their hopes for their first win of the season should soon be dashed by a strong ITF team. ITF is coming off of a close loss to Rise Above and they should be looking for redemption, and the opportunity to break .500 is right before their eyes.

OLEARY's Prediction: ITF by 300+

After getting destroyed by pV in week one, ITF has certainly bounced back and with the return of shaken it's hard to say that the rest of the season looks anything but promising. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't amused when shaken was calmly shut up, but I think it'd be safe for him to predict in ITF's favor this week.

Todo's Prediction: ITF by 150+

I love my friends at PARA but they pretty much scramble to find a player that has DoD installed and is on roster for matches. ITF shouldn't have too much of a problem taking this one with Russian and Shaq owning everyone.

excelsis's Prediction: ITF by 140+

You know that team that goes through the season without a win? Ask havoc of ITF who went 0-8 with Elite DI two or three seasons ago. Well PARA 247 will be that team this season. ITF takes this one easily.

deanmachine's Prediction: ITF by 200+


CheckMate



vs.

Rise Above


This should prove to be one of the better matches of week 5. CheckMate has a good chance at taking the CAL-m title this year, but their undefeated record could be in trouble here against a decent Rise squad. Although, CheckMate is coming off of a solid win over another CAL-m powerhouse, pV, and their overall skill should shine through in this match. Rise should be able to keep it close for a small portion of the match, but look for CheckMate to get a good number of full caps and dominate this match by the end of the second half.

OLEARY's Prediction: xm by 350+

CheckMate is living up to their expectations this season and maybe even exceeding them after a big win over pV on solitude. My theory is that any team that won on that map is bad, but we can ignore that. Rise Above is underrated, you can mark my words on that, but CheckMate is going to put them at 2-3 for the season.

Todo's Prediction: xm by 200+

Rise Above surprised me when I scrimmed them a week ago. They’re a very good team whose rifles likely never miss. But I think Checkmate's flanks will get the job done. MOTW 2 imo.

excelsis's Prediction: xm by 50+

This is what I would consider a match of "might vs. team work". As much as Check Mate would like to brag about being "an amazing team" or whatever they want to call it they still don't have good team work. If rise above is to beat them at all they will have to use amazing team work and go above their “bar of skill".

duality's Prediction: xm by 300+

CheckMate is fresh off of upset win over the favorite to win CAL-main pV. Checkmate, former CAL-open team aids has a lot of talent in their team. With this seasons pickups of Christian (Links) and Marshall Drummin, they have what it takes to continue on to fight for the coveted CAL-main title. Rise Above is a team who has been around for awhile, so they have the team work, and they also have some very clutch and skilled players. But even though they are on a two win winning streak, they are just outmatched this week. On Checkmate, watch out for ZeGermans to come from no where and play big on Axis, dropping major bombs with that STG of his. Also some key players for Checkmate will be orbital and also moDify proning when need be, possibly making some clutch plays. Watch both meXy and equIs on Rise Above striving to get their teams on the roll to try and keep this close. In the end though CheckMate will easily take this win.

kroD's Prediction: xm by 100+


Nothing To Prove



vs.

Gaming Royalty

This is easily the match of the week, and one of the best of the season, and what a map for it to take place on. Both teams are 4-0 coming into week five, and the outcome of this match should give some indication about how the playoff situation should play out later on in the season. Both teams will try to get out to a fast start and control the middle of the map, but, the key to this map will be railcar. Controlling that side of the map is very important, and it will be interesting to see who can come out on top of that area. In the end I think this will be one of the closest matches of the night with n2p coming out on top by a slim margin. But, we will see what GR has to do about that; should be a good one.

OLEARY's Prediction: n2p by 50-

I really can't say enough bad things about each team without making my prediction twice as long as any other, so I'll try to keep it brief. Wedo's playstyle makes me cringe and he is largely to blame for the downfall of a game that has been made increasingly slower since 3.1. With online wonders fluxx, mistadobalina and arguably matt emmons, the new Gaming Royalty does a fair amount of justice to keep the name associated with teams that will never see a LAN. Forget bitter and specops and the rest of them. Slaughter is cute. Now, having played n2p, they were able to take advantage of how bad solitude is and place nades within inches of my face to account for at least 90% of my deaths. Look for lars to find spots and never move from them. Look for wedo to do the same. I see n2p taking this one by some sort of margin.

Todo's Prediction: n2p by 5 to 700

Battle of the 4-0's. The team that beats n2p (which has nothing to prove except LAN performance) will have my utmost respect. Gaming Royalty best do it.

excelsis's Prediction: GR by 30+

Both teams 4-0. Definitely MOTW considering there isn't 2 more teams that are 4-0 to play each other. Both teams have big-name players. But since baloo is now on n2p and I know he will dominate the apartments, n2p will take this win.

deanmachine's Prediction: n2p by 100+

MOTW! And now the moment you have all been waiting for, you have read through all of these terrible predictions by me, to get this this point in all of it. My prediction for the matchup between n2p and Gaming Royalty. Both are extremely skilled teams, and both have been around for a great deal of time, just have changed their names a few times. n2p takes on their former name from their CAL-im title winning season last season, and are brimming with confidence. Yet with Gaming Royalty's recent steal of Matt "clutch" Emmons from Demolition, that could be what Gaming Royalty needed to secure this victory. Watch for wedo to prone it up and hold down apartments and put up big numbers on allies side with his bar, but watch out for Baloo and his bar in apartments the other half. Some key players in this matchup for n2p will be Baloo, untouch@ble, and if shizz will have a good game in apartments. Gaming Royalty key players will be sensEi, wedo, and SpecOps annihilating all in their respective areas. This is going to be one hell of a match to watch.

kroD's Prediction: GR by 40-


Did That Hurt



vs.

*SPARKLES*


On paper this match would seem to be a close one, but looking closer you can see that this match will be all Sparkles. The sheer talent on their roster is enough to overwhelm a majority of the teams in main, and their one loss was to an excellent n2p squad. DTH should struggle vs. a powerful Sparkles lineup on a fast paced and high scoring map. DTH's one chance at a victory here is Sparkles lack of interest in the game. Now, whether that will result in a forfeit or just a lack of effort is to be determined. Hopefully, Sparkles will show up and set an example of what their team is capable of.

OLEARY's Prediction: Sparkles by 400+

DTH has no chance against Sparkles with the strong roster of theirs such as nik`o`lai, Moriar, Todo, and guerilla. Sparkles lost to n2p though, which proves how n2p will win cal-m central.

deanmachine's Prediction: Sparkles by 250+

Sparkles is a group of ex-Invite players who play wow and don't care, they also cheat in CS. Did That Hurt has no chance against CS cheaters. With Todo and Moriar teamed up you might not be able to stop the speed of Moriar's reflexes and the speed of Todo's mouth. This match is too close to call a definite victor but ex-Invite vs. CAL-IM I guess we have to.

duality's Prediction: Sparkles by 300+

If *SPARKLES* shows up to play this week, this will be one of their 3 total wins they will have this season. This will be an easy win for the likes of andr_w and some other people I know on *SPARKLES*. Even though DTH is cooly sitting on one more win than *SPARKLES*, that wont stop *SPARKLES* from destroying the dth and following it with shit talking such as "Did that hurt?" followed by drunk todo giggling.

kroD's Prediction: Sparkles by 75+


Elite DI



vs.

Few Good Men

Elite DI's record does not give the skill of their team justice, in my opinion. I think that this team has the ability to be a playoff team in the near future, and that all starts with an easy win that they will receive on Monday. Both of FGM's wins this season are by forfeit, and both of their losses have been by about 300 each match. There is no light at the end of the tunnel for this team this week. Elite DI is coming off of a win vs. nwP, and they would like to keep this streak alive. Look for a strong performance from James of Elite DI.

OLEARY's Prediction: Elite DI by 350+

This match pits two lower tier teams against each other who haven't done anything to impress thus far. Elite DI comes in with a worse record largely because they haven't had the luxury of two forfeit wins, as FGM has. On the other side of the table, FGM has been blown out in both of their played matches. Look for Elite Di to grab their second win of the season to put both teams at 2-3.

Todo's Prediction: Elite DI by 150+

Seems like Few Good Men don’t have any good men at all, not even a few :o I don’t know anyone of them so I can see why they are 1-3. <3 elite DI has tomodak. If he has a great game then its over, also he'll have GUNGHO with him so I see them taking this by only 40 some odd :)

polak's Prediction: Elite DI by 40+

I have to admit I was suprised to see Elite -DI- win last week over nwp. FGM is easily a candidate for the bottom of the barrel, so the only delay they might cause DI will be when DI has to stop to shoot them. It’s not going to be that close. if exoh remembers everything I taught him in our first railroad match, he'll drop FGM's mid team like it's going out of style. <3

slaughter's Prediction: Elite DI by 100+

Both teams are also teams that probably should not be in main, but with the lack of an IM division, they are stuck in main. You can add this to another boring matchup as both these teams duke it out to be one step closer to a even record, only for that record to be washed away as better teams start taking more losses. Players to watch on FGm is Lt.Diablo (LTD) and on EliteDI TomoDaK. This could be a close win, or an easy victory for EliteDI.

kroD's Prediction: Elite DI by 60+


NihilisT



vs.

Ajnin Gaming

These two 3-1 teams should have a pretty good match on Monday, especially on railroad, I am sure both teams have been looking forward to it. Nihilist has been around for quite some time and their chemistry and experience have helped them thus far. But, their opponents at Ajnin will have an edge in this match in over all skill in the game. Ajnin should take over by the start of the second half, and secure a decent win over a tough Nihilist squad.

OLEARY's Prediction: Ajnin by 150+

I can think of only one reason for it to be bad that a team doesn't make their excuses known to the public, and that is for the sake of my predictions. Both of these teams have been keeping quiet en route to 3-1 records, both of which are well deserved. Since taking week one losses to n2p, for nihilist, and Gaming Royalty, for Ajnin, these two teams have bounced back with three wins in a row and I see this match being close. Ajnin has the stronger roster on paper, so I'm going to side with them for this one.

Todo's Prediction: Ajnin by 50+

Ajnin WILL DESTROY Nihilist by A LOT, its my old friend kirill with a heavy whose great on RR1 and they have some master no-scoper named anberlin whose JUST PLAIN AMAZING AND HE MUST CHEAT LOL. No but this game is going to be a blow out. If everyone on ajnin plays solid, I believe this will be the biggest blow out by around 200+ no joke.

polak's Prediction: Ajnin by 200+

I have to think that nihilist will put up a good fight against Ajnin, as long as loki can bring his a-game and snipe the hell outta them. But overall I doubt one man can win railroad. Ajnin should have an advantage over the rest of the map, with some suttle resistance and surprises from BRONX in apartments. Having played both I think Ajnin has stronger team work as a plus.

slaughter's Prediction: Ajnin by 80+

This is another really good matchup this week, as two 3-1 teams fight to keep their single loss. Yet this fight will only show who will go on to lose next week, as the winner from this week will play a team far superior than they are. Watch for for all the starters on Ajnin to play big and steal away some of Nihilists thunder. Big players on Ajnin will be SkiFree and possibly Talon. Some keep players on Nihilist will be zazi and teamownnerrrr-. This should be a close game but Ajnin's superior experience and skill will lend a hand in their victory over Nihilist.

kroD's Prediction: Ajnin by 50-


re-united



vs.

gungho

Yet another decent match between two mid-level main teams. Gungho has had somewhat of a rough season so far with losses to Ajnin and Ronin. Re-United has a strong team chemistry building and a decent 3-1 record under their belts. On a map like railroad I think that they have the opportunity to do very well. Look for strong performances from Gungho by Stephen “sullen” Reinhardt and Christian. This should be a very close match from what I can tell. But, will Gungho have enough to stop the forces of some what stronger Re-United team?

OLEARY's Prediction: re-united by 75-

Given that gungho forfeited last week, it's no guarantee that they'll show up to this match. Even though most of re-united are nice guys and it's not amazingly easy to say bad things about them, I'll do it anyway. They've honed their cheating to the point where they're not blatant but they're still cheating. They're better than me and still haven't made it through puberty, or in vertekz's case started it. I see them taking it whether gungho shows or not.

Todo's Prediction: re-united by 150+

Sorry but I don’t think this will be very close at all for gungho. re-united has up and coming rifles with crazykilla and their heavies should have no problem with apartments. vertex is going to have no problem with this. gungho has had some tough matches vs ronin who was moved to cal-I and ninja gaming but with one FF win and a win over a few good men I don’t see them going very far in this match unless they can hold apartments.

wedo's Prediction: re-united by 150+

This is going to be a close match, both teams have no one I've heard of so its going to be really, really close. I know that crazykilla plays a lot of DoD, but he’s not always good. Sometimes he is and sometimes he isn't. He's not very consistent. But I'm going to have to go with re-united since they had more impressive wins over BYE and few good men.

polak's Prediction: re-united by 50+

I am not exactly sure on CAL's infinite wisdom of pitting two 3-1 teams against 1-3 teams, but here we are with the second of two lopsided matchups. Watch for what the community calls and online re-united takes down gungho. A key pickup for gungho but sadly wont make a difference in this matchup is Tidus. Watch for SureShot and CrazyKilla on re-united decimate gungho.

kroD's Prediction: re-united by 100+


Sterling



vs.

Ninjas with Puppies

Both Sterling and nwP have been having somewhat lackluster seasons coming into week five. Both teams are at 1-3 currently, but there is a glimmer of hope for one of them to shine through with a 3-2 record at the end of the night. On a map like railroad I believe Schmiggs and co. will be able to handle Sterling fairly well. But, look for Tony “Eh” Campbell to try and thwart nwP's road to victory!

OLEARY's Prediction: nwP by 250+

There's a lot of skill going into this match between the two teams, which makes it even more intriguing to see that they're both 1-3. Ninjas with Puppies has been battling inactivity for some time now, but they have a lot of raw skill on their roster to combat that. I see their skill carrying them to victory against a Sterling team that hasn't been doing much lately.

Todo's Prediction: nwP by 100+

This more or less looks like another well deserving CAL-Main team vs. a CAL-IM team. Ninjas with Puppies will out play, out team, and out control every part of the board on this map. Sterling will have to take a back seat on the kills while Ninjas with Puppies runs them over and over and over. Sterling will hold up some what of a resistance to NwP's Lower caliber CAL-Main skill, but yet again the experience just isn't there for Sterling to take down Ninjas with Puppies.

duality's Prediction: nwP by 300+

Both of these teams are 1-3 but one in my opinion shouldn’t be, ninjas with puppies has Paul "gorilla" Coon whose a solid player, Schmiggs whose been around forever, and then there’s my cute friend raving rabbi :). however you never know railroads a rifle dependent map and if gorilla gets shut down by sterling it could be an upset, but I think nwP has this by 150.

polak's Prediction: nwP by 150+

Another team with a record that doesnt show its limited potential. NwP should have a better record than 1-3 but im not even sure if they care enough to do better. This will be one of the more boring matches this week. If this match takes place, and Paul Coon plays, NwP will roll away with this.

kroD's Prediction: nwP by 100+


covenant



vs.

I AM

I AM is coming off of two rough losses one after the other to Knox & G4N and they will be looking to redeem themselves this week. Covenant suffered a forfeit loss last week, so let's hope they can get back into the groove of things and compete on Monday night. If they do show up ready to play this should be a decent victory for their strong over all roster over a less skilled I AM squad. Covenant should be able to secure a decent amount of caps in each half and cruise to an easy win.

OLEARY's Prediction: cov by 375+

As far as I know covenant is dead, seeing as they forfeited last week, but I don't know this for sure so I'll speak as if they aren't. covenant is plainly the more skilled team, as I Am seems to have lost a large portion of the skill that carried them to the upper tier of main last season. If covenant shows up, they'll take this match by a fair amount.

Todo's Prediction: cov by 100+

At the beginning of the season covenant look liked a decent team that could go to playoffs. But with a FF win and a close win over DTH I don’t see them finishing out the season well. This match will boost their confidence though if they show up. The only chance I AM has at winning this match is if their sniper can lock down long and their heavies control apartments. But with explodey on kar/stoss I don’t see this happening. If it gets bad just MG IAM.

wedo's Prediction: cov by 150+

While IAM has been blown out by almost everyone they've played this season, including FGM, they did get a large win over PARA247. Covenant forfeited last week's match. However, unless covenant is dead, they will walk all over IAM. covenant has a strong roster with players who aren't as well known but have been around for a long time. IAM lost vasily and spidermonkey, which I’m sure they’re happy about, but they have struggled ever since. This will most likely be a blowout, with cov fighting for the best movie clips.

slaughter's Prediction: cov by 200+

Don't let the I AM name fool you, this is not the same I AM that was in CAL-main last season. I am not exactly sure what happen to covenant, they held their own last season, but this season have almost fallen apart, with a close win over Did That Hurt, a major loss to n2p, and a recent ff loss to Nihilist, I am not even sure if covenant is still around. Yet, covenant is still a better team than I AM.

kroD's Prediction: cov by 75+


StormTroopers



vs.

GameShock


A match between two sub-par teams is what this comes down to. StormTroopers only win this season is the result of a BYE week and they have suffered rough losses to Ajnin and nwP. GameShock on the other hand is at a mediocre 2-2, but they do have a chance to break .500 and show themselves in CAL-m this season. I think that they should have no trouble handling a defunct StormTrooper's squad this week. Although neither roster has any real “standout” players in the community, GameShock's over all skill should lead them to victory here.

OLEARY's Prediction: gameshock by 200+

Gameshock isn't turning any heads this season, but StormTroopers has had a very unsuccessful entry into main with two losses and a forfeit win. Look for Gameshock to catch a break this week against bottom-of-the-barrel StormTroopers with a safe win.

I don't really know anyone on stormtoopers, and they are 1-2 only because they got moved up from CAL-IM. I am guessing that since they haven't played all the matches. While Gameshock is 2-2, but Gameshock has a lot of skilled players and obliterated DTH first week. They also lost to n2p and re-united who are 2 top cal-m clans. Gameshock will take this one with ease.

Storm Troopers is more of a CAL-IM team than a CAL-main team, but with our recent deletion of CAL-IM they are stuck in Main. They have to match up with a lower ranking CAL-Main team. With the skill level and team work just favoring GameShock so much more it seems as if Storm Troopers has no chance of coming much closer than losing but a lot.

sT is another team that definantly should not be in main, but is in main anyway. GameShock is touch and go at this point, they still have a shot at breaking even at the end of this season. Watch for aRn and GMAZING on GameShock to roll big and dominate sT.
