FLS vs LPN
Tough match this. I was suprised TAS managed to take points off LPN last week, i think this will be a similar story
2-1 LPN

KRU vs TAS
Despite tas winning a game last week, i think kru has got this
2-0 KRU

WWO VS STB
We Win Ok

666 vs HTS
I think HTS will have to do something special to win, otherwise 666 will win with ease
2-0 666

LPN vs FLS & KRU vs TAS will most likely be yawn-inducing blowouts.

LPN 2-0 yawn
KRU 2-0 yawn

Game of the week will go to WWO vs STB, which should be an amazing game. Both teams have rock-solid rosters for this map, I almost can't even make a prediction. Gonna say that it's going to be SUCH a good game that one won't be able to beat the other and result in a draw.

Tie 1-1-1

If HTS forces a Euro-server game, and Crusher plays, I honestly think HTS might have a chance. Armi and Tobi are powerful fraggers and Crusher is a slick runner on this runner's delight of a map. However, 666 has Ammar, who is not only the best player in the GFA, but this is also one of his favorite maps. I'm gonna say that 666's collective experience is going to net them their first win here.

666 2-0-1

WWO vs STB definitely is the must-see match-up for this week. This is a game where AVC has to be available for. Now Shift is a good runner, but he's going up against a much tougher mid and defender, and this map is already difficult to score on. Depending on what server this game will be played on will determine who gets the nod to play mid. American server = Shift, GV Server = im1hpu0.

One thing is for sure, mid is extremely crucial in this map. Mid is already an important position but playing a map with a soulsphere and a mega...gotta bring your A-game. Can't be letting their runner in your base with 200/200, and as soon as your runner takes the flag, you gotta be in their base near the ssg to clear the way. Once you start the spawn killing in that area, it's an easy cap.

Overall, if AVC plays, STB takes the W. If AVC is too busy telling customers at Home Depot about their sale on water hoses, then WWO will win.

Good luck all.

FLS vs LPN

InRazWeTrust

KRU vz TAS

I think this will be a comfortable victory for KRU to be honest. This map is all about mid control, and I don't think TAS will be able to handle the fragpower and sphere control from Tai and DS. Not sure who will be prefered as O for KRU, but I think both Dastan and Cennou would be comfortable in scoring on this map. KRU 2-0

WWO vs STB

The game of the weekend no doubt. STB were really impressive last week even without their superstar purchace AVC. It will be harsh to drop either Shift or Im1hpu0 based on how well they played, but I think Sparil will have to make a difficult decision on that front, as I feel WWO will be more of a threat. WWO looked very good themselves last week also... I think WWO will edge a very close game 2-1 (HTG MVP).

666 vs HTS

I think 666 will pick up their first win of the season here. Ammar's favourite map I think, and Cab/Edd/Emzee are all very experienced players here too. HTS will be hurting by the manner of last weeks defeat, and although I think they will hold their own, I think the sheer power of 666's roster will overrun them. 666 2-0.

FLS vs LPN
HUE

KRU vs TAS
Since I believe this is gonna be played on GV, KRU probably has to have a more defensive way of playing in order to not have the runner sneak in with a 200/200 and score the flag. It's a map where straight on full force isn't always the best idea.
2 - 1 - 0 KRU

WWO vs STB
While this is the game of the week, I simply don't see how STB won't defend this and Avc knows how to run maps like this.
2 - 0 - 0 STB

666 vs HTS
I haven't seen Armi or Crusher ever play this map, without practice it's GG. If they can find a way to control the middle, on GV, I believe they legit might have a chance to tie or even win, but I've seen no prac.
