Day Of Defeat: CAL-Invite Season 18 Week 3 Predictions

By: Robert Hull - Published February 19, 2008 at 5:11 PM EST - Writer Archive
Online Thunder’s Ryan “ryanemo” Marko and noLuck’s Charlie “murduh” Dean with a special guest appearance from GI’s Tony Compton on the MOTW lay down predictions for week 3 on dod_lennon_b2.

TAP vs. Dumbledore’s Army

Ryan:
A pretty good match up, with TAP coming off of a close loss to us(THUNDER) and Dumbledore’s coming off of a big with against 3h.LcM. I think Austizzle will give Patten a good run for his money and control long a majority of the time, especially with Mr. Olson running around with his MP40. With the heavies, I'm gonna have to say TAP has a big advantage with that, considering I have never heard of the 2 heavies playing for DA. Rifles, one word, vasily. Although with analog having no walls on this map, you never know. Good match up but I'm gonna say TAP with the W.

TAP > DA 100+
Players to watch: Vasily, Austizzle, Analog.
Charlie: TAP by a CAP

Players to watch: Patten Tiacus ao analog


Amor vs. super

Ryan:
Welcome to invite Amor! And usually when people say that, it's because that team is about to get destroyed, but we have a different case this time. With Kellen and Kirk on the rifles for Amor, even with illusi0n being able to see where everyone is before they peak and mistadobalina running around shooting through 11 walls, they will have a tough time keeping Kellen on hold, even if he hasn't played in a while. Apartments will be controlled by whichever team has well in my opinion. Even if supers heavies, Snuggz and Demetrius somehow kill both Kyran (HI CUTIE!) and k4b00m (BAW for LyFe) they still have Kellen to get through. Long seems like it will be a good stale mate, whoever can get the better nades off and play like its CPL finals, will control it, considering rebirth on the 3rd for Amor will probably be the worst experience for Fallen and blkop. And Alan Williams will frag hard and wall people in mid from long on axis half and make fun of them after because he's more than likely better than them ;-). MOTW in my opinion.

Amor > super 50+
Players to watch: Kellen, illusi0n, k4b00m

Charlie: Super, super, ain’t so super. If you wanna talk bout super, go watch Dwight Howard and the dunk contest. I think Kirk and the squad will take this one, because kirk is like that popular kid back in high school that all you nerds wanted to be, everyone just loves him. Blkop will think he’s good and just get smashed on at well (if they place 3rd rifle at well) by rebirth. KoG is going to just rape apartments along side k4boom and the Legion queers, as young buck says it, ain’t goin nowhere. Amor starts the season off with a W and super drops to 0-3Amor by 80+

Players to watch: Kirk because he is SEXY in his small tee. that’s it

noLuck vs. Nascidos Pro Game

Ryan:
Once again, a new comer takes on a pretty tough team. BitchX and Jackson will be fun to watch at well, as well as bud and ob in apartments. Willeh will probably prone somewhere and shoot everyone in apartments in the back, so count on noLuck having apartments on lock once willeh gets into position. Iorio will out play storm with the sniper rifle and long, and push up with dean and take control. I can't see nPg getting coming out with this one with the amount of gay willeh will bring throughout the entire map, and Jackson fragging everything in sight.

noLuck > nPg 85+
Players to watch: Jackson, BitchX, bud, iorio
Charlie: -

Players to watch: Jackson, BitchX, iorio, bud

Butt naked Gamers vs. Jetty

Ryan: pretty good all around match up. I think jetty’s rifles will be able to control well, and frustrate Dyelife and arn. Kellenoyster and wedo on heavies will control apartments easily, especially with wedo picking out every corner to hide, even if it's with a kar ;) (i love you Aaron

BnG 100+
Players to watch: john gale, Dyelife, Kellenoyster, cypher/que, seven

Charlie: Here is another great match up. Jetty hasn't had a loss yet, and BnG only has one, which was a 13-point loss to UG. Que is a god, and arn got good all of a sudden so watch out for those two to do work son. But then again, you got Kellenoyster, quedo, and cypher on Jetty. That’s just ugly. Quedo will prone and destroy everyone and cypher vs. que is gonna be the match up to watch. Que’s sniping makes my penis double in size, but then again cypher's goggles and pink gloves make my penis triple in size. Should be interesting. CLOSE GAME

Jetty by 20

Players to watch: Wedo, Cypher, Que, Arn

AYEBAYBAY vs. 3xtreme LCM Humiliation

Charlie: Jesus it took me bout 10 minutes to type 3h's team name. Battle for their first win, it should be a good game. Looking at the squad from 3h they are old school and its the same people, so they have been around for along time. I was even in 3h at one point so they have the experience, along side with Murduh Mogers and hvk. Then again AYEBAYBAY is pretty crucial. Kevin "CoG Nigga" Gardner, Hatmaker, and badnews, along with pirate who got amazing INSTANTLY. Cant forget Fluxx too, and you know my nigga lockdown will be doin’ work, he will be bringing two guns and a 6 pack to this match, and probably get CAL-banned for it. I thought I read that lockdown was kicked off and I would have definitely predicted against AYEBAYBAY but I guess not. I think badnews and pirate, the two best kids EVER, will take down the veterans alone.

AYEBAYBAY by 100
Players to watch: BadnewsCheatuh, Pirate, Mogers

Ryan: With both teams not exactly doing to much so far this season, this match will be one both will want to prove they deserve to be in invite. Stealth will probably cheat at long (so my brother says) and help pick off apartments also. s0v at well against Fluxx and Christian will be a pretty good battle, as well as fleener helping out s0v. I think aye will have stronger heavies in apartments and control that for a majority of the time. Will be a good match.

AYE > 3h.LcM 65+
Players to watch: Stealth, badnewspanda, s0v

Match of the Week

online THUNDER vs. United Gamers

Ryan: GLHF

Charlie: Battle of the undefeated. MATCH OF THE WEEK. Thunder's roster is ridiculous with JaGGoN and ryanemo on heavys, I am not too sure spoon and hXc will be able to handle that. Then again I want to see JaGGoN drop boys with a heavy instead of sniping. Prop and mexicant will dominate too but Khoi will just straight dominate as always. He will bust out his speed of catching the bus, the swiftness of Jackie Chan and dodge bullets, and the reflexes of a teenager (he’s really 40 he’s just lying to everyone). Lemme get those digitz from ya mom later so I can holla.

Online Thunder by 100 Players to watch: JaGGoN, prop, Khoi

Tony Compton: This week’s match of the week pits early invite front-runner THUNDER against a very strong UG team. Both teams are off to 2-0 starts, and both got impressive wins last week on chemille against strong opponents. I have been told Netherhell makes his return to DoD this week, so expect him to be holding long while the rest of thunder pushes for the first. Toxinator will be going long with him, and this is where I see UG’s biggest weakness. Bluerevolver and Khoi are great players, but tox’s play as of late has been the Tox of old we all know and love. Apartments are sure to provide some crazy frags as we have Greg “2cute4u” Guice and Taylor “all I do is make Gotfrag threads daily asking about rhetorical Knox questions” Graf. Thunder is trying something new out in apartments by sending both of the Marko brothers towards mid. This could make or break their strat. I’m sure thunder will be prepared beyond belief, but if there is a hinge in their teamwork on Lennon, it would be apartments. Lastly, we have the epic well battle. Mexicant and propaganja against Jordan and Andy “Oliver” sheen. Now looking at those matchups any normal DoD predictor wouldn’t dare predict against Thunder’s well team, but UG’s strength so far has been teams inability to accept that they are actually pretty damn good. I think BnG may have underestimated them some before their chemille match, and it showed. Unfortunately, I don’t see that happening 3 weeks in a row, as UG’s winning streak comes to a halt at the hands of Big J and his army of minions. But mark my words, UG will make a run at the CAL-I title come playoff time! That’s right, I said it!

THUNDER > UG by 60 points.
Players to watch – All thunders roster at any given time, hxc and spoon with bars, Jordan and Andy sheen with kars.
