| Amateur League Predictions (26.7.2002) |
Alcoholism vs. BUNNER
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: BUNNER by 7
BUNNER is 2-0, certainly something I didn't expect before the season began. Alcoholism on the other hand is 0-2, as expected. Alcoholism will have their hands full even with getting a single victory this season, BUNNER on the other hand will actually be a playoff challenger. The l33t BUNNER will probably take an easy victory here.
Prediction: BUNNER 12-4
Players to watch: Photograph, Tritoch
Llamasery vs. Birds of Prey
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Birds of Prey by 5
Well, this will be the last time I'll pick BoP to win if they manage to lose here too. A loss to BlackNike was expected, but a loss to BUNNER wasn't. Llamasery suprised me and probably everyone actively watching AML by defeating the championship-prone BlackNike 12-8. In fact...I expect Llamasery to win here.
Prediction: Llamasery 12-5
Players to watch: Crunchy, Salami Swammi
Ferrum vs. BlackNike
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: BlackNike by 7
To know that BlackNike will choke or not to know that BlackNike will choke. That is the question. Come on people! These guys were supposed to be stacked beyond belief and they lose to Llamasery? Ferrum did crush Alcoholism with a score of 12-0, but BlackNike will definately have to get back on track here. I believe cose wrote "they will not make another underestimation" or something similar (or someone did...) and that's 100% correct. BlackNike will come in hard for this one and will take two points. I don't see Ferrum being able to challenge BN in this one.
Prediction: BlackNike 12-4
Players to watch: Misterio, wups
)(Master)( vs. -BlitZed-
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: )(Master)( by 6
This is a hard match to predict with two pretty equal squads. The outcome will greatly depend on who shows from both sides. BlitZed lost 2-12 to No Data. Expected, but the fun thing is that both ND's deaths were teamkills, so BlitZed didn't actually score a single kill. Master is 1-1, BlitZed is 0-2. This match will be the real test for both of them, they both need some victories and this is a perfect time to clinch one. I'll go with my ScoreMaster prediction in this one.
Prediction: )(Master)( 12-6
Players to watch: Wish Master )!(, Pretty Hate Machine
Disavowed vs. Warlords
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Disavowed by 8
The classic squad of Warlords is stuck in the bottom of the Virgo division ahead only of Fly-Ndeath. The squad needs a quick 180 degree turn. A very quick one. However, they face Disavowed here, one of the toughest squads possible in this season's AML. A victory over Oracle X showed that Disavowed is out here to win.
Prediction: Disavowed 12-3
Players to watch: Eternal, Bad-News
No Data vs. Exodus
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: No Data by 12
Not much to say here. Anything less than a 12-0 blowout by No Data will be a disappointment to me. I expect a couple of them to die before the end, just to even the odds a little, but there's really not much chance for Exodus. Not at their best form from a few years back and not at the form they're fielding at the moment.
Prediction: No Data 12-2
Players to watch: Tin Cup, AC
Fly-Ndeath vs. Starseed
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Starseed by 12
The question here will be how long FnD will last. ScoreMaster fact: 24/31 of the listed predictions have Starseed winning by 10 or more. Not really much else to say. More pracs for Fly-Ndeath.
Prediction: Starseed 12-0
Players to watch: DBeckham, Reaem
Oracle X vs. Victimise
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Oracle X by 8
A loss to Disavowed should of brought DeathKnight & co. back down on Earth, they aren't the champions just yet. Victimise is now 1-1 with a K/D of 12-12 after first losing 0-12 to Starseed and then beating Fly-Ndeath 12-0. Their current form is still unknown and will be tested here. I hope that Oracle X get back in gear and win this because my prediction stats need to improve.
Prediction: Oracle X 12-4
Players to watch: Anamalech, Vorbis
Blasphemy vs. EpiK
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Blasphemy by 8
Blasphemy remains untested this season as they've reached their 2-0 with ease. EpiK will be a slightly improved version of Master, but they should be no threat to the strong Blasphemy. All eyes will be on Pisces division on round 4 or 5 when Blasphemy faces No Data.
Prediction: Blasphemy 12-4
Players to watch: Matt, jimbobwey
Dissent vs. Nightbane
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Dissent by 10
The big thing in Sagittarius is that Mutiny beat Dissent 12-1. Hi, 12-1. I expected it to be close and 12-1. Dissent seems to be a terrible squad on a bad day, the bad match they had against Ferrum should've given me a mental note on that, but the crushing loss to Mutiny certainly refreshed my memory. Anyways, now Dissent face Nightbane and they have to take the two points here to stay in touch with the top of the division. The postponement of Mutiny vs. Harness from round one has mixed up things a little bit in the division. Dissent is a whole lot stronger than Nightbane, the squad that lost to Harness with a score of 9-12 last round.
Prediction: Dissent 12-2
Players to watch: Miner, Scipio
Stafire Elite vs. Harness
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Starfire Elite by 6
No prediction due to the "own-match" clause in my contract.
Prediction: None
Players to watch: None
Mutiny vs. Integral
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Mutiny by 11
Well, Integral's victory over Warlords did get me in a bit of a craze...something that I should've avoided, since they lost to Mutiny a week later with a 1-12 result. The two squads face each other again on this round and the final score will probably be close to the first game's one too. I'm still hoping for falsehood to show for Integral. That would probably make this game a little closer, but as it stands...a probable blowout.
Prediction: Mutiny 12-1
Players to watch: Testify, falsehood
