| Amateur League Predictions (10.8.2002) |
Alcoholism vs. BlackNike
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: BlackNike by 10
10 am on saturday match. I for one would love to play my matches at 10 am on saturdays rather than at 3 am on monday like I usually end up doing with the normal scheduling. Uhm, Alco played strong last week, but that was mostly due to the bad playing of Birds of Prey. BlackNike should have little to no trouble in winning here.
Prediction: BlackNike 12-2
Players to watch: Seal, Wups
Llamasery vs. BUNNER
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: BUNNER by 6
A classy match between two long term AML squads. Both have been suprisingly strong so far and are fighting for the playoff spots in Gemini division. This one will probably be close, I'll stick with my ScoreMaster prediction.
Prediction: BUNNER 12-6
Players to watch: Nechronos, Noobed
Ferrum vs. Birds of Prey
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Birds of Prey by 6
Birds of Prey did look like they were going to improve, but their performance against Alcoholism left a lot to desire. Ferrum lost to Llamasery, but at least Tenet finally started (hype)Misterio(/hype). Still, if you allow Crunchy to go 7:2 (that's seven:two), you're bound to lose some matches. At least Crunchy, who was 7:2 didn't kill (hype)Misterio(/hype) when the game was 4v4, so there's still hope for Ferrum. Should be a close one here, I think I might get another loss to ScoreMaster predictions with my prediction... I'll go with the "underdog" here.
Prediction: Ferrum 12-5
Players to watch: Misterio, designator
)(Master)( vs. EpiK
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: EpiK by 5
This match is up for the grabs. EpiK and Master are seriously fighting for the 3rd spot of Pisces division. Both squads have two victories so far, they've played just as expected: both have beaten BlitZed and Exodus, but lost to No Data. In addition, Master has also lost to Blasphemy while EpiK have postponed their match against that squad. Overall, this match will be a big factor in the chase for the playoff spots and will certainly be worth spectating.
Prediction: EpiK 12-6
Players to watch: Elthia+, Babyhef
Disavowed vs. Victimise
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Disavowed by 9
Disavowed beat Starseed and got appealed. The appeal looks valid to me and the match should be either forfeited or replayed. Then again, Disavowed did beat Starseed with their 2nd string players...and that makes them a tough-to-beat-squad in my book. Victimise will lose here, their chance of making the playoffs will be decided on whether three or four squads make it to the playoffs from one division. There's no way they'll catch up with the top three squads.
Prediction: Disavowed 12-2
Players to watch: Eternal, Vorbis
Exodus vs. -BlitZed-
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: -BlitZed- by 5
BlitZed has certainly not looked strong this season...but Exodus has looked a whole lot worse. What can anyone say about a season with a 0-4 record and a 5:48 k/d ratio? Many, many squads have left the league after a season filled with beating like this. BlitZed at least managed to beat Harness in preseason, so they get my prediction here.
Prediction: -BlitZed- 12-4
Players to watch: AC, ChronicFlash
Warlords vs. Fly-Ndeath
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Warlords by 9
Losing some of their top players has hurt Warlords and they've been lackluster this season. I hope (hype)Bad-News(/hype) will play well here and lead his team to victory!
Prediction: Warlords 12-2
Players to watch: Bad-News, DBeckham
Oracle X vs. Starseed
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Starseed by 6
Hard to predict here. Certainly the match of the week!...To tell you the truth, I'm much more intrested of the Blasphemy vs. No Data match taking place an hour earlier. People, this is your chance to perhaps see some big decisions in two of this season's AML division within a timescale of two hours. You shouldn't miss 'em. Starseed lost to Disavowed last week like Oracle X did a few weeks back. Both squads have had a very similar season so far and here's the place to start proving themselves. The winner here will be the squad challenging Disavowed for the victory of Virgo division while the loser will finish third in the division with a 9/10 probability.
Prediction: Starseed 10-5
Players to watch: Anamalech, Reaem
Blasphemy vs. No Data
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: No Data by 7
Vorbis wrote in his SS Impact prediction that this is a clash of the playing styles...umm, WRONG? Did anyone see Blasphemy vs. Redshift in last season's playoffs? I don't think a single pilot on Blasphemy's squad pushed forward for a second there. And No Data is VERY similar, the two pilots who can decide the match on No Data's team are borAX and Tin Cup. These two create pretty much all the offense No Data has. As for Blasphemy...I'm waiting on Felony's "big guns" to show up and prove that Blasphemy means business. This match will decide the winner of the Pisces division unless something VERY strange happens.
Prediction: No Data 12-5
Players to watch: Matt, borAX
Idiosyncrasy vs. Harness
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Idiosyncrasy by 6
Scheme (captain of Idiosyncrasy) pointed out that his squad is very hard to predict...one day they lose to NightBane and the next they beat Mutiny. For once I agree with a newbie captain from Cosmic Raft(/stupid humour). Now then, a hard match to predict, both squads have good days and bad days. In Sagittarius division there are five (5) squads with 3 matches played with a 1-2 record, so every match is very important for both squads if they desire to make the playoffs. I'm predicting that Idiosyncrasy will have one of their good days and win here. As a special favour, I'm listing two players to watch for Harness.
Prediction: Idiosyncrasy 12-6
Players to watch: Krazikarl, Now, AFCoolair,
NightBane vs. Integral
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Integral by 8
Would you look at that, StarFire Elite beat Integral!...But that doesn't mean that they can lose to NightBane...victories are essential in Sagittarius division as mentioned in the Idiosyncrasy vs. Harness prediction. I don't think Integral would risk losing a possible playoff spot with a loss to NightBane.
Prediction: Integral 12-4
Players to watch: Scipio, aiti
Starfire Elite vs. Mutiny
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Starfire Elite by 5
Predictor's 101 - Don't predict your own match. Thanks.
Prediction: NONE
Players to watch: NONE
