| Amateur League Predictions (11.7.2002) |
Alcoholism vs. Llamasery
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Llamasery by 7
Alcoholism has lost to BoP and Mutiny in prseason, Llamasery only to Starseed. Neither squad has won a real match yet (not counting Alcoholism's noshow victory over Fly-Ndeath), so both will be on their toes here. Photograph has been the player in Alcoholism getting most of the kills, so you should keep an eye on him. Still not very much to say about Llamasery, they lost their only match 0-12 and it's hard to guess their form. We'll see...
Prediction: Llamasery 12-7
Players to watch: Photograph, Crunchy
Ferrum vs. BUNNER
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Ferrum by 8
Both squads have been fairly good in the preseason. Ferrum really challenged the strong Dissent and BUNNER took a victory over the unorganized bunch of Fly-Ndeath. I'm prone to think that Ferrum will be stronger here. d i g i is an excellent pilot!
Prediction: Ferrum 12-5
Players to watch: Misterio, Tritoch
Birds of Prey vs. BlackNike
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: BlackNike by 5
BlackNike have added Belt to their roster. I was in a squad created by Belt for about a week, that makes Belt great. Birds of Prey are 2-1 in preseason, losing to Blasphemy and easily beating Alcoholism and Nightbane...but it doesn't look too good for BoP, has Dagger gone inactive or has he just been benched? Missing him would be a terrible setback. The squad has other good players, but they have to perform better if BoP is to challenge the tougher squads. BlackNike should be victorious here.
Prediction: BlackNike 12-5
Players to watch: Salami Swammi, SonyRed
)(Master)( vs. Exodus
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: )(Master)( by 5
Ok, so I see Miner hyping up Thaller in his rankings, if all he says is true, Master will be a whole lot stronger this season than what I've expected...but the guy hasn't played yet and neither has Born Slippy, who I hyped back in my preseason report. Now another thing, can anyone tell me what the Misterio-case is about? Misterio played for Master against Victimise and the kid looked damn good. Now he's on Ferrum's roster. Anyone? Uhh...Master vs. Exodus? Neither squad has won a match in preseason, Master losing 2-12 and 6-12, Exodus 5-12. Master does however look stronger.
Prediction: )(Master)( 12-5
Players to watch: Wish Master )!(, Cyborg Of Death
Dissent vs. Integral
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Dissent by 7
Well, I was so thrilled about Integral defeating Warlords that I picked them to win over the strong Mutiny last week...big mistake Maulie, they didn't really stand a chance. Blindsight didn't play, but still...Dissent took two solid victories last week and they even crushed the strong Victimise 12-1. This might end up being a slow match, but I expect it to reach 12 kills.
Prediction: Dissent 12-4
Players to watch: Miner, blindsight
Blasphemy vs -BlitZed-
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: -BlitZed- by 4
A close match coming up. The predictors on ScoreMaster count on Blasphemy with a score of 17-3, but I'm going for the upset here. Don't ask me why, Blasphemy looks a whole lot stronger on paper and BlitZed hasn't shown great improvement since last season...well, expect a lot of kills here.
Prediction: -BlitZed- 12-8
Players to watch: ZdeathX, Pretty Hate Machine
Disavowed vs. Fly-Ndeath
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Disavowed by 11
Not much to say here...StarFire Elite beat Fly-Ndeath 12-0 in four (4) minutes. This might end up being just as quick...the rookies of Fly-Ndeath are still learning, hopefully they'll hang in there.
Prediction: Disavowed 12-0
Players to watch: Kurtz, DBeckham
Oracle X vs. Warlords
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Oracle X by 10
I admit, I've underestimated Oracle X. ScoreMaster: Oracle X 20-1, the only predictor counting on the upset is...USS Evader. Warlords are a quality team, they will put up a good fight, Oracle X defeated No Data and squads in AML don't get too much tougher than that. Championship contender alert. Warlords have had a tough preseason, but hopefully they can get their act together for round one next week.
Prediction: Oracle X 12-3
Players to watch: Anamalech, Euripedes
No Data vs. EpiK
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: No Data by 7
No Data coming off a bad loss to Oracle X and will be looking to regroup with an easier opponent here. Not much to be said here, EpiK will beat some of the weaker squads in AML, the addition of jimbobwey is good, but he really isn't that good-a-player...EpiK really stand no chance against the power of EuroLag (tm).
Prediction: No Data 12-3
Players to watch: cose (hi cose!), passplay
Idiosyncrasy vs. Nightbane
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Idiosyncrasy by 5
Typing Idosynracrsy right is hard. I expect them to show more to this match and therefore continue the CR invasion in to SubSpace. Nightbane...well, at least they earned some big +'s in my brain for showing up against Birds of Prey. Not much besides that...
Prediction: Idiosyncrasy 12-5
Players to watch: Envi, Scipio
Starseed vs. Victimise
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Starseed by 5
Starseed still untested. Defeating Llamasery 12-0 was a good start, but this will be harder. Victimise are 1-2 in preseason, beating the weaker Master, but losing to the stronger No Data and Dissent. This might end up being very close, but it might also end up in a blowout...my coin says that Starseed wins.
Prediction: Starseed 12-6
Players to watch: falsehood, aPathy*
StarFire Elite vs. EASED IN
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: StarFire Elite by 1
10 out of 20 predictors on ScoreMaster predict SFE by 1. Either people expect this to be very close or they expect a noshow...now which is it...hmm... I really hope that EASED IN suprises the league by showing up here, I hate noshows, especially when my squad plays...
Prediction: StarFire Elite with a noshow
Players to watch: None
Mutiny vs. Harness
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Mutiny by 8
Like Oracle X, I seem to have underestimated Mutiny too. Predicting them to lose to Integral was pretty stupid now as I think about it, but what's done is done. Mutiny is clearly the stronger squad here too, Harness haven't been at their best on preseason.
Prediction: Mutiny 12-4
Players to watch: Geneva, Pings
