| Amateur League Predictions (30.6.2002) |
Ferrum vs. Dissent
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Dissent by 10
No prediction for this match, since it was already played when I wrote this.
Prediction: None
Players to watch: None
Llamasery vs. Starseed
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Starseed by 7
Neither of these two squads played in the preseason. Llamasery has returned after a season's break and if I remember correctly, they made the playoffs back then. I however think that losing Ispi to Symphony between then and now has been a big loss and Llamasery might be facing a hard season. Starseed is made of several veteran players from other squads, I have a distinct memory of the squad being from War Zone, but I'm not 100% sure. I recognize BRASIL, Dezacrator, DIESEL and Reaem from the squad's roster. Llamasery's roster is quote small (seven pilots actually) and that might become a problem as the season progresses.
Prediction: Starseed 12-5
Players to watch: Crunchy, Dezacrator
Mutiny vs. Alcoholism
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Mutiny by 4
Both of these squads took a noshow-victory in the first preseason round, but now things will heat up. Both squads have gained strenght since last season. Mutiny will probably make the playoffs, Alcoholism will be struggling in the bottom of the league, unfortunately. Meditation does have high hopes for this season and will try to get his team to play it's best. We'll see how things turn out.
Prediction: Mutiny 12-1
Players to watch: Jocker, Lord Schnitzel
Harness vs. -BlitZed-
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Harness by 7
Both squads took a loss in the first preseason round. I see BlitZed forming up like they have several times in the past, a small, experienced roster. I have to hand it to BlitZed, they just keep on coming back. The squad has faced some awful things in it's history, like having Immortal on the squad. At least they've gotten rid of DeathKnight, so the season kicks off with high hopes. Harness is a suprise-prone squad with not much names, but on a good day they can beat anyone.
Prediction: Harness 12-8
Players to watch: madboy, Wasty
Birds of Prey vs. Nightbane
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Birds of Prey by 10
I just have to wonder what league would be without Birds of Prey. El Tigro's posse has been around as far as I can remember, starting from the good old Epsilon league in Euro. Nightbane, players from War Zone, I expect BoP to take it.
Prediction: Birds of Prey 12-4
Players to watch: Dagger, Scipio
BUNNER vs. Fly-Ndeath
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: BUNNER by 1
BUNNER! I fear of a double-noshow. Reeks of trouble.
Prediction: BUNNER 12-0
Players to watch: Anyone from the home-team
No Data vs. Blasphemy
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: No Data by 5
I quote PanTau from the ScoreMaster: "match of the week." This is definately the biggest match of this week's AML round. Both squads have very high quality players to start off with and several to bench. This game's outcome will be greatly based on luck and wise substitutes from the captains. Which will be better, PanTau or Muad'Dib'..? This match might not reach a 12-X-score.
Prediction: No Data 10-7
Players to watch: sKink, Sagum
Oracle X vs. Starfire Elite
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Starfire Elite by 4
No prediction due to the "own match"-policy.
Prediction: None
Players to watch: Mauler
EpiK vs. Exodus
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: EpiK by 7
Two old squads which have both taken some breaks from league during their histories. EpiK seems to be more prepeared for returning (they were in last season, I believe, but..) for this season. Exodus has some decent players, but it still won't be enough to challenge the squads of the better half of AML.
Prediction: EpiK 12-6
Players to watch: Tioga, AC
Victimise vs. )(Master)(
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Victimise by 6
As I look at the rosters, something hits my eye...Master has Born Slippy, the great captain of Sundown, added to their roster. This leaves me baffled, Victimise has weakened and Master has grown greatly. Also, aPathy* seems to have grown an attitude after he joined Victimise, not good, hopefully I'm just mistaken. In preseason round 1 Victimise lost 3-12 to No Data and Master 2-12 to Oracle X.
Prediction: )(Master)( 12-6
Players to watch: Born Slippy, Vorbis
Warlords vs. Integral
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Warlords by 6
Large roster vs. even a larger roster is what we have here. This is hard to predict, since I don't really know Integral and Warlords's form-of-the-day is often unpredictable. I do however think that Warlords will be victorious here.
Prediction: Warlords 12-4
Players to watch: Bad-News, Pikel
BlackNike vs. Idiosyncrasy
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: BlackNike by 8
Some people say that BlackNike should've started in IML. I don't see why, the squad does have a bunch of experienced, good players, but nothing spectacular. They will be among the best squads of AML, but not necessarily THE best. They will however beat the beginning squad of Idiosyncrasy with ease.
Prediction: BlackNike 12-3
Players to watch: The White Rose, scheme
