For all of those watching RTS-League, this was a pretty exciting week!
Sure, most of the teams that were predicted to win and obvious favourites went through, but there were some close calls and some very very good games!
So let's take a look at what happened this last week ^_^
[READMORELINKDOTS]
Game 1
Prediction -wW v _EA_ - No contest, will be (2-0) wW
Actual Result -
wW wins in an impressive and dominant fashion. I thank _EA_ sincerely for playing so hard and coming so far. Good luck for next season and continue to be amazing wW and you may win this season! wW wins 2-0
Game 2
Prediction -_XJL_ v LKC - Good match-up, I believe this one will produce some GG's. My guess is (1-2) LKC win.
Actual Result -
Well, for some reason it was only one game. someone should tell me why o.o But XJL wins in a pretty good game. The former runners-up LKC are knocked out. I got this one wrong, XJL is FIERCE! XJL advance 2-0
Game 3
Prediction -PiA v BuzZ - BuzZ not looking good enough this season, I expect PiA to be able to win (2-0)
Actual Result -
AW for PiA, hey BuzZ listen up. Listen...ready? Ready BuzZ?
BOOOOOOO!
PiA wins AW-AL
Game 4
Prediction -DyT v VN - VN is really OP so far, I think (0-2) unless DyT can do something amazing.
Actual Result -
In my opinion VN looked consistently better than DyT, on the water map it appeared to be a bit closer for awhile, but VN just looked too powerful to lose. DyT did well but just could not stop VN. I hope that DyT will improve and get this far or further in next season! VN advances 2-0
Game 5
Prediction -SlipKn0T v [CL's] - Again, no contest. (2-0) Slippy.
Actual Result -
Let me start by saying this. I AM SO SORRY CL'S FOR UNDERESTIMATING YOU. I was WAY wrong in this prediction and EVERYONE should watch the recs of this match. I was sitting at the computer screen during the third game, which for me was the water map, and I thought that CL's was going to win over one of the favourites! Amazing play by CL but somehow SlipKn0T pulls off the win. It was SOO close a match, again my apologies to CL's you are amazing and you need to be in next season <3 SlipKn0T wins 2-1
Game 6
Prediction -AOKI v LobosR - Although this looks to be rather close, I believe LobosR has no problem here and wins (0-2)
Actual Result -
Double Mayan on arena does not work out for AOKI and LobosR wins fairly easy. Do not take LobosR lightly, they are NOT an easy team to beat when they put forward a top team. Thanks for participating AOKI, even though whenever your names do not match your civilisation my head starts hurting a lot >_<. LobosR wins 2-0
Game 7
Prediction -TOAO v RoR - Interesting that this is in round one for personal reasons 11. RoR wins (0-2)
Actual Result -
Blah, this ones were hard for me to watch really. gg TOAO, hope to see you in future seasons but doubt I will :S. RoR wins first arena game on the turk v turk fast imp side. A very...clean game, if you know what I mean. Second game one TOAO drushes a bit too late, they lose sea early, one RoR almost completely dies, but then the pressure from all around kills TOAO. RoR wins 2-0
Game 8
Prediction -UsK v _Arg - Maybe a more interesting match than people think, but I still would guess _Arg win (0-2)
Actual Result -
This was an interesting set of games like I thought they would be, but with a VERY different result than what I thought. UsK proves their might by beating _Arg 2-1 in some quite good games. Definitely worth the watch. I know _Arg will be back next season because they have SOOO many players they are always dangerous! UsK wins 2-1
Games MUST watch for round 1:
SlipKn0T v CL's
UsK v _Arg

Next Round Predictions
wW v _XJL_ - While I do think it is POSSIBLE for _XJL_ to win this one, all the things I have seen point to wW as the winners here. If the best players for both teams can make it, I expect wW to win in a fairly convincing fashion (2-0)
PiA v VN - Again, with this set of skills it is quite possible for either team to win, but I think that PiA is more likely to win. I expect this to produce some good recorded games. My guess? PiA wins (2-1)
SlipKn0T v LobosR - UPSET ALERT! For some reason I just feel that LobosR will win this game. I cannot very well explain why, but I think LobosR will somehow pull a win out and win (1-2)
RoR v UsK - I believe that RoR can win this game without much problem. They have beaten UsK already this season and in other leagues. Or maybe UsK can get revenge? Will have to watch to see ^_^ My guess is RoR wins (2-0)

Good Luck to all again as the field narrows down to the quarterfinals.
Don't Die Now!
And play your games for sure!
No being like fodas BuzZ -_-
Feel free to argue with me as always! 11
