| Amateur League Predictions (18.8.2002) |
Alcoholism vs. Llamasery
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Llamasery by 8
Llamasery won the last time these two faced with a score of 9-5. Alcoholism has been slowly improving from game to game, but were to match for BlackNike last week as they lost 1-12. The postponed matches in Gemini division will decide the division winner. BUNNER and BlackNike are currently the top contenders, but Llamasery also has a chance of winning.
Prediction: Llamasery 12-4
Players to watch: Seal, Crunchy
Ferrum vs. BUNNER
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: BUNNER by 6
Ferrum and Birds of Prey pretty much played for the last playoff spot in Gemini division last week and Ferrum came out on top with a score of 12-6. That means that Ferrum made the playoffs after a rollercoaster regular season. BUNNER is still the only undefeated team in the division and will definitely want to stay in top form for their two postponed matches on the postponement round in two weeks. BUNNER should win here.
Prediction: BUNNER 12-5
Players to watch: Medicus, tritoch
Birds of Prey vs. BlackNike
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: BlackNike by 7
Birds of Prey, before the season began I expected them to be one of the top squads in the league. I failed miserably. The loss of Dagger (to the army) and Fatal (to Dissent) really hurt the squad and they've been lackluster throughout the season. It all came down to them vs. Ferrum last week and a loss meant missing the playoffs this season. Of course they didn't know about it before the game due to various reasons, but still, they're out now. The only things Birds of Prey have left this season are losing to BlackNike, beating Alcoholism and then maybe taking part of the Second chance tourney. Tough luck. Maybe they'll fare better next season.
Prediction: BlackNike 12-2
Players to watch: designator, SonyRed
)(Master)( vs. Exodus
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: )(Master)( by 9
Master got lucky and made it to an easy division and finished fourth. Beating BlitZed a couple of rounds back was key. Master will probably be one of the squads eliminated in round one of the playoffs. Exodus, a disappointing season for the returning squad. They have shown very little potential in their second coming to league and don't really know if they'll return for next season.
Prediction: )(Master)( 12-2
Players to watch: Wish Master )!(, AC
Fly-Ndeath vs. Disavowed
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Disavowed by 11
I'm thinking that this really doesn't need much comment.
Prediction: Disavowed 12-1
Players to watch: DBeckham, Eternal
Blasphemy vs. -BlitZed-
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Blasphemy by 10
Well, Blasphemy lost 2-5 to No Data and with that, they lost the division title. BlitZed has been a real non-factor this season and I don't know why. They have a good starting four and some decent subs, but things just haven't worked out for them. Blasphemy will win this one, but I'm looking forward to the playoffs, Blasphemy might challenge some bigger squads there. Blasphemy...to tell you the truth, I don't think a single squad from Pisces division will make it extremely deep in to the playoffs.
Prediction: Blasphemy 12-3
Players to watch: Matt, ChronicFlash
Oracle X vs. Warlords
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Oracle X by 10
If I've understood things right, Warlords won the appeal which Victimise made and therefore clinched the fourth spot in Virgo division. This would mean another season of playoffs for the aging squad. The loss of key players made Warlords a middle-class squad instead of a top-AML-caliber squad. Still, they might turn some heads in the playoffs, but will probably not make it past round one. Oracle X is now 3-2 and ready for the playoffs.
Prediction: Oracle X 12-4
Players to watch: Anamalech, Bad-News
Starseed vs. Victimise
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Starseed by 11
Victimise lost some key players and now it looks like they will miss out on the playoffs. Starseed is now 4-1 with their only loss being to Disavowed. That match has been appealed and I don't know the outcome...I doubt anyone knows yet. Starseed clearly the stronger squads here, remains to be seen how much they care about these 'exhibition matches'.
Prediction: Starseed 12-1
Players to watch: Reaem, Vorbis
No Data vs. EpiK
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: No Data by 8
No Data with a massive 5-2 victory over Blasphemy last week. That clinched the title of Pisces divison and made Vorbis look up to me forever. Uhm, last time these two squads faced off, No Data for a victory with the score of 12-5. EpiK did challenge the strong ND in the beginning of the match, but in the end No Data clearly won it. This match might turn out to be quite similar.
Prediction: No Data 12-4
Players to watch: Tin Cup, babyhef
Idiosynrasy vs. Dissent
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Dissent by 6
A tough match to predict. Not many squads have locked their playoff spot in Sagittarius division where the real matches are still on for another two weeks. Dissent needs victories to stay ahead of the four squads with 4 points (Dissent has 6) and to stay in touching distance of StarFire Elite (8 points). Two very intresting rounds coming up in Sagittarius.
Prediction: Dissent 12-6
Players to watch: scheme, Miner
Nightbane vs. Starfire Elite
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Starfire Elite by 9
This match is...Mauler's match. Mauler does not predict his own matches.
Prediction: NONE
Players to watch: NONE
Harness vs. Integral
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Integral by 6
A hard match to predict in the closely fought division of Sagittarius. Both squads need a win to stay in the playoff race. Currently Integral seems to be closer to the top four and Harness might not make the playoffs, even if they win their match here, as their last round is a bye weekend. In fact, it looks like Harness won't be repeating their playoff appearance from last season. Integral has a chance of making the playoffs. A strong squad will be eliminated from this division along with Nightbane and Harness. Now will it be Idiosyncrasy, Mutiny, Integral or maybe veen Dissent is anyone's guess.
Prediction: Integral 12-6
Players to watch: Now, aiti
