Elite Assassins vs. Good 4 Nothing

[X-Spider] Elite Assassins vs. Good 4 Nothing

Good Luck, Have Fun!!

[ThatsRight] Elite Assassins > Good 4 Nothing (275 - 245)

This is a battle between two 4-3 teams fighting for one of the final playoffs spots. Both of these teams are of IM skill level and both have been for the most part been playing together for many seasons. As every one knows, Anzio is all about communication and teamwork. You better be able to rotate and you better have players who can put up some explosive frags. From what I remember sTarK and Deg will be on the heavies at plaza, accompanied by X-Spider on the sniper. Riverhawk and sTeW will try to gain the upper hand but without Trigun sniping, it will be an uphill battle.

[DustiN] Elite Assassins < Good 4 Nothing (1 cap)

As Elite Assassins sit in 16th place, their playoff hopes will come down to this very final regular season match. With Good 4 Nothing in the 16th playoff spot, they will be striving to keep themselves in playoffs. If both teams can come out Thursday, in full force this match will be an exciting one to watch. Plaza we will see, Stew and meOwA colliding heads with sTarK and Deg. With sTarK's recent #scrimdod anger of getting pooped on by Dustin "suLL3N" Thomas, I see Stew and meOwA having no problem ripping him a new one, But Deg will back up his partner and keep the plaza battle a close one. On one side of the bridge there will be Str!der and Meh!, with X-Spider to back them up, On the opposite side, Links and Laura will be watched over by Riverhawk. The bridge should be held by Elite Assassins for more then half the match. This match should go to Elite Assassins but I believe the plaza team will hold them back for any further push. g4n by 1 cap.



BroRape vs. Handicap

[X-Spider] BroRape < Handicap (222 - 230)

Two great teams, BroRape (5-2) and Handicap (4-3), will be fighting for a playoff spot. If BroRape wins, then they are guaranteed a spot, while handicap must win to have a very high chance at clinching a playoff seed. This match will be very even, since we will have BroRape send St|ck and company to the bridge, which should be more than enough to even out the battle against Zonozaur and Bobson. The plaza battle will separate the boys from the men, where wehman and hectiK will face badnewspanda and mimmerzim. The heavies that play the smartest in this match will lead their team to victory when they flank as necessary. Sorry St|ck, but I believe hdc will pull it together this week and tie your record.

[ThatsRight] BroRape < Handicap (245 - 275)

I don’t think there will be a more entertaining match this week. There is a lot of skill, especially at the rifle position (mnx/bewton/bobson/zono/stick/ect) , facing off in this one. Brorape who sits at 5-2 appears to be most of flatout so I would expect them to have good communication and teamwork. Handicap has been playing together for a few seasons now as well and on paper looks like they should be a frontrunner in cal o. I’m somewhat shocked to see they have lost there last two weeks to TA and some team of muddy people who don’t get shot. They are going to need to win this match to make playoffs and I think they will squeak by here in a nail biter.

[DustiN] BroRape < Handicap (25 points)

So as FuriousMartigan gets suspended for CHEATING (Trying to get FotW footage), BroRape has moved up to 4th place, and secures a playoff spot. On the other hand, Handicap might need this win to keep them in this season. For bridge, Crick and Bobson will be squaring off against, St|ck and d3k1n. I see Crick being able to shoot people two feet around corners with bobson shooting people through corners. BroRape will have some trouble bridge unless Dennis "St|ck" Del Bando can come into this match like he has done the past weeks. Handicap will have a really fun time plaza as brorape will be sending, Joel "I HAVE A SEXY VENT VOICE" Chuning and Badnewspanda with Benjamin "Bismal" Puig enjoying his stay in pizzeria. For Handicap, Ian Galasso will be pretty solid both halves of this match as he will be backing up, Blake Wehman and Troy Perkins who will be a dominate factor for Handicap’s cap-out opportunities. I give this match to handicap by 25 points (bored).
