Christian "LOVEMAKER_" Hatmaker and Kyran "kyran" O'Green bring you predictions for Round 2 of the CAL-Invite Placement Tournament!

Match

Christian

Kyran

[#2] SPF420

vs.

[#7] Butt Naked Gamers

Players to watch: Dyelife, tr4gik
After watching Ken Coleman beat 'Did That hurt' in the first round, they roll into the second round feeling confident in their skill. This week will be more of a challenge, as Collin 'Que' Bourdage brings his BnG squad in looking to capture an invite spot. Both of these teams have been around forever, and though neither really care, it'll be fun to watch. Watch for spf420's Ko to be running around middle with his sniper rifle controlling middle in an eric cartman south park t-shirt. Mountain will be fun to watch as BnG has quite the selection of cuties to choose from, all trying to stop tr4gik's standing recoil. My prediction is that both of these teams will make invite, but I'm looking at BnG to take the match by 70 points.

 

In this match we have two very good teams stacked full with amazing talent. Although SPF420 has a d4nk lineup, I think the teamwork of BnG will make it able for them to squeak by with the win. Look for SPF420 to be overpowering at mountain with ericg and his amazing crouch hopping ability. Middle should be kept under lock by Que because if he gets into mid house, it’s going to be impossible to get him out. Long should be held down by dyeLife and InSaNe with little resistance from Ian Gilmore. I’m going to give this one to BnG by 60 points based on teamwork alone.
Players to watch: DyeLife, tr4gik

[#12] Nascidos Pro Game

vs.

[#13] Dumbledores Army

Players to watch: espanhoL, ao Though nobody has given Nascidos Pro Gamers any respect, mostly because nobody has heard of them. I scrimmed against them once, where their server changed my rate to 36000, and my update rate to 256. I don't know how they do things in that country, but just for that, I hope they lose. Dumbledores Army has a few nice looking men on it, and I suspect ao and anal-log will be trying very hard to get their team into invite. I do like the guys on the team, but for some reason I foresee Nasidos Pro Gamers winning this match by a lot. Something about the way they use broken English both confuses me, and amazes me. Unless Austizzle has a great axis half I'm going to take NPG by 30.

 

I don’t’ know much about either of these teams, but I do know that Dumbledore’sARMY has some good players in ao, renton and analog. Long should be held down fairly easily by renton and analog, but if avatarr, whoops I mean espanhlol, plays then they will have a very hard time trying to overcome his thick accent and precision banana, whoops I mean nade tossing. From what I hear, storm is a good sniper but I think Andrew should be able to hold his own, considering he learned from the best; Tobias Reaper. The heavy area might be a problem for the American team here because bud never crouches nor misses and is more impossible to hit than a mormon woman before marriage. DumbledoresARMY by 20

[#11] Legion

vs.

[#14] AYEBAYBAY

Good luck, have fun!

This match should be a pretty equal face off. On one side we have a bunch of cheaters/proning idiots and on the other side we have cheaters/standing idiots. Look for snuggz and whoever heavies with him to be on their bellies the whole time while badnewspanda will never hit the control key. Stealth should have a good lock down on middle, especially with pirate at his side. Both players can put up huge numbers and can greatly impact a match at any point in time. Lockdown and Fluxx will have a tough time with illusion and fallen at long, but then again, who wouldn’t have a hard time when all they hear at long is a little british boy casting spells to a rap beat? If AYEBAYBAY can over come the proning and british raping mixed with beatboxing, they should come out on top. AYEBAYBAY by 100 points.
