If this weren't a Euro league and games were played on NJ, I'd have absolutely zero doubt 666 would win this one with ease. STB knows this and will most likely force a GV game because of it, which will probably even out the playing field. Sparil is wicked good on GV, he is a literal aimbot on this map and Avc is the sneakiest little shit and is one of the only runners that would have a chance at penetrating 666's defense. As I said in my week 1 prediction, STB's performance ultimately falls on im1hpu0. STB has D and O covered very nicely, and if they can get their floater up to the same level they will be unstoppable. They had it pretty easy week 1 with a quick win, and in week 2 they got lucky that 2/3 of WWO was playing like they were drunk and also on a map that Avc could abuse easily. But now they face their true test, against 3 VERY good players on the ultimate grindfest map. 666 has no weak spots. Ammar is the undisputed doomgod of Zandronum, RosKing is one of the few runners who is just as good, if not better than Avc, and Edd is the American DSparil with a heavy-hitting aimbot for a wrist. 666 had an unfortunate scheduling mishap in week 1 where Edd couldn't make the game and it ended up costing them the W, had that not occurred I think STB and 666 would be tied for 1st at 20pts each right now. In the end, STB will put up a very good fight, but I think 666's collective experience will net them the W here and put them ahead of STB in the standings.
LPN vs KRU will be another huge game. I'm going to say what I've said before, ESPECIALLY if the game is on GV and especially because it's map31, I think it would be in Tai's best interest to play both Cennou and Dastan here. Despite the high ping on GV, DS is still DS and is one of the most lethal players in Doom right now. Tai has plenty of good options, and I'm curious what his strategy is going to be. LPN is no slouch either, Dragon+Swift together on GV is a deadly combination and Bones adapts very well with a nice ping to GV as well. This should be a very tight game, and I can tell LPN are the favored to win here, but I'm gonna go against the current and say KRU's euro division will net them the win.
If Galactus and Caution wake up from their comas and drink some goddamn coffee, WWO *should* easily net the win on this map. TAS proved to be a more capable team than initially expected, winning rounds against both LPN and KRU, and will certainly not go down without a fight. On this map though, it's too classic of a map for Gal/Jake to screw up on again and they will be earning themselves their second W.
HTS vs FLS...yawn
