X-Spider's Prediction: GLHFMB!!
Good luck, have fun to the old Light roster! :)
Rage's Prediction: -|Ea|- by at least 150
This one doesn't even look to be close. Ea has actually put some interest and effort behind their team this season and it seems to be paying off so far. This week they play Evolution which looks more like an edited roster of Light. I expect Evolution to prone, camp, lag, and gay everyone on Elite Assassins in order to make this one close. all-star will stay true to his name, Avail will only make ridiculous shots, and Omar will run around in circles, singing Spanish reggae love songs while the rest of his team drops bombs. Players to watch: Allstar, Avail, klandestion!, SupeR

X-Spider's Prediction: proFound (264 - 174)
Rage has done a well job in leading this CAL Open team by reuniting the Incredibly Sexy Llama Brigade roster a few weeks ago. This team is always well-informed of the teams to look out for in Open. After doing their research, they know that this time2shine team is ready for any challenge that comes between them. They gave us a surprising scare last Sunday, and I believe they will do the same this week against proFound. I expect the Rage and panDe from proFound to battle it out at the well and long, respectively, against time2shine's gaul, who is quite the amazing rifle. gaul appears to be an all-around player, so expect him on more than one route. Ronii will most likely pick up the heavy and battle it out at the apartments. With aRch's suspension, I see proFound taking this win.
Rage's Prediction: GLHFMB HE SAYS!
Good Luck, Have Fun, Make Babies?

X-Spider's Prediction: Warcrew (405 - 200)
This is another classic battle between pub clans. Warcrew is going to be a top CAL-Open contender this season, and will be working hard this season to get far in the Open playoffs. The Red Brigade comes in to CAL for the first time this season, so their competitive experience may be a bit shaky. I expect RB's Storm to do an excellent job rifling at the well, while Nasty will snipe for them at long against K-2's Godlesscommie. To be honest, I feel K-2 has the better teamwork and chemisty, and will have no problem winning this week.
Rage's Prediction: Warcrew by at least 150
This match will be a season and team statement for both teams in my eyes. Warcrew looking to have another successful season and finally prove they are Main material. On the other hand, I'm sure The Red Brigade wants to solidify themselves as a strong team in Open and make a run at the title. Now as far as sniping goes, I give this one to K-2's Rob Watts and his undying love for Anna(??). The Well will be somewhat of a push and shove back and forth between Silent and Agape. Adding Davis into the picture may even things out if Agape becomes amazing as he has been in scrims lately. K-2's heavies will dominate and likely affect the whole outcome of the match. Players to watch: Agape, Godlesscommie, Davis, Silent But Deadly?

X-Spider's Prediction: nwP (206 - 193)
In my opinion, this is going to be the match of the week. We have two good CAL-Open teams who were just off to a rough start this season. I feel their 0-2 records do not reflect their actual capability. I played against nwP and they gave us quite the scare. I look forward to audio rifling at the well while MeOwA hides in corners at the apartments, being the successful bastard he is. Schmiggs and Laura will be dealing with long and well, all depending on the situation. Making their lives miserable would be Dark_Phantom at the well, maybe at long? I would expect fender to work at the apartments as well. In the end, nwP will be the better team, getting them their first win of the season. . .JUST BARELY.
Rage's Prediction: nwP by at least 50
This is an interesting match up. On one side you have a team of skilled players that have been around for a while and have earned a name for themselves. On the other side you have a team of scrim stars that have yet to be so amazing in matches and can barely field 6 each week. I'm going with NwP this week keeping in mind I know how good MeOwA, Schmiggs, and peemp are. MTP's Dark Phantom and Co. have yet to impress me with match play. Players to watch: MeOwA, Schmiggs, f3nder, Dark_Phantom
