Ferrum vs. Dissent
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Dissent by 10
Prediction: Didn't post one, since the match was already played.
Actual final score: Dissent 12-10
MVP: hedcase8 4:2, Entertainment 2:0
Comments: Well, Ferrum made the game a whole lot closer than what I had expected. Hedcase8's return to AML was a notable 4:2, but he wasn't all that good (one kill 4v2 and 4v1). The co-MVP Entertainment got his kills early and was playing a good game before lag-subbing out for Tandoori, who choked quickly to score a 0:2 and being eliminated, since Entertainment had already subbed a 0:1 Aggro. Fatal and Miner did a medicore 3:2 for Dissent. Ferrum got some excellent kills from Miasaka (5:2), Don Cherry and Tenet both recorded a 2:3. Overall, the Chaos pilots of Dissent were impressive and might go far this season. The roster demands it. Ferrum will be a playoff contender.
Mauler's Predictions status: 0-0, 0 matched scores
Llamasery vs. Starseed
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Starseed by 7
Prediction: Starseed 12-5
Actual final score: Starseed 12-0
MVP: falsehood 4:0, Infernal 4:0
Comments: Well, I expected Llamasery to lose here, but a 12-0 blowout wasn't something I had in mind. Not much to say, this wasn't a real test for Starseed just yet and Llamasery will have to prove themselves in later matches.
Mauler's Predictions status: 1-0, 0 matched scores
Mutiny vs. Alcoholism
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Mutiny by 4
Prediction: Mutiny 12-1
Actual final score: Mutiny 12-1
MVP: Unknown at the moment
Comments: Again, an expected result and suprisingly, I got a matched score here! Alcoholism didn't really stand much chance against the powerful Mutiny and lost. Mutiny, as Starseed, haven't been tested yet, we'll see how they turn out. Alcoholism is facing a similar season to the last one.
Mauler's Predictions status: 2-0, 1 matched score
Harness vs. -BlitZed-
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Harness by 7
Prediction: Harness 12-8
Actual final score: -BlitZed- 12-4
MVP: Pretty Hate Machine 4:0
Comments: An impressive display by Blitzed in preseason round two. The squad had good showing and ChronicFlash started the game big, equipped with a kill macro saying "U FIGHT ME U DIE :(". CF finished the game with a 4:2 record. Pretty Hate Machine played a nice game, grabbing the MVP with a 4:0 record and some key kills. Harness didn't display much here, Die and Mateja get out of this game with approved papers, but the rest have to improve. I don't think this match showed the best performance of either team and we'll be hearing more from both later on.
Mauler's Predictions status: 2-1, 1 matched score
Birds of Prey vs. Nightbane
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Birds of Prey by 10
Prediction: Birds of Prey 12-4
Actual final score: Birds of Prey 12-0
MVP: Guardian Dragon 4:0
Comments: Ouch, a second 12-0 in one round already. I didn't see this match myself, but I presume it was BoP all the way. Sumi called Guardian Dragon his "secret key player" later in the AML chat...at least GD started off big. Birds of Prey not tested yet, Nightbane facing a near-the-bottom-of-the-league season.
Mauler's Predictions status: 3-1, 1 matched score
BUNNER vs. Fly-Ndeath
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: BUNNER by 1
Prediction: BUNNER 12-0
Actual final score: BUNNER 12-5
MVP: tritoch 4:1
Comments: Ahh, BUNNER actually tried for once and won their second match ever (not counting noshows), information from digi. Tritoch showed off his elite EG skills with a 4:1 MVP. Both squads showed, that's good, I was afraid that this might be a noshow, since both squads noshowed on preseason round one. Good to see that I was wrong once again.
Mauler's Predictions status: 4-1, 1 matched score
No Data vs. Blasphemy
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: No Data by 5
Prediction: No Data 10-7
Actual final score: No Data 12-6
MVP: Nerve Impulse 6:2
Comments: I expected a slow match, but Nerve Impulse and Tin Cup got some quick kills and decided the match for No Data. borAX played a medicore match in a weasel with soem good setups, but failed to score a positive record (1:2). Jaguar511 from Blasphemy played a good match and was resonsible for three of his squad's five kills (plus one teamkill by sKink). MR>$M00TH's return to league formed up to be a 0:3 choke with his second and third death back to back by Nerve Impulse. Overall this match turned out quite a lot like I expected, it did reach a 12-X final score and No Data showed both their solidness and the good choke-potential they have. Blasphemy was the worse team here, but they have time to clean their act for the regular season.
Mauler's Predictions status: 5-1, 1 matched score
Oracle X vs. Starfire Elite
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Starfire Elite by 4
Prediction: None
Actual final score: Oracle X 12-1
MVP: Anamalech 3:0, DeathKnight 3:0
Comments: Ok, this wasn't as bad as it looks. The game was 1-0 for Oracle X until around 25 minutes had been played. Then it was 2-0, 2-1, 3-1 and after that it was good-bye for SFE. Mauler, the great superstar of Starfire Elite, did a solid 1:1 before subbing out. TopGun97 made an appearance in league after a long inactivity period and scored a 0:2 after being subbed it when his squad was 2v4. Oracle X subbed players out at 0 repels, which was the main thing why they won this instead of Starfire Elite. Anamalech was solid again with a 3:0 co-MVP with DeathKnight. Stone^Stupid also played well. Again, this match was a whole lot closer than what the final score indicates. Both squads looked good-to-go for the season.
Mauler's Predictions status: 5-1, 1 matched score
EpiK vs Exodus
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: EpiK by 7
Prediction: EpiK 12-6
Actual final score: EpiK 12-5
MVP: Demi God 3:0
Comments: Would you look at that, a matched score in ScoreMaster, pretty nifty, eh? Two old squads facing each other, EpiK was the better squad here. TopGun97 NTS:ed for EpiK and did a 4:2, Demi God recorded the MVP with a solid 3:0. Exodus had a fine game from debi, but that just wasn't enough, Cyborg Of Death also played well. EpiK will face tougher squads this season, so will Exodus, both will have to improve to challenge for a playoff spot.
Mauler's Predictions status: 6-1, 1 matched score
Victimise vs. )(Master)(
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Victimise by 6
Prediction: )(MasteR)( 12-6
Actual final score: Victimise 12-5 (UNCONFIRMED)
MVP: Unknown
Comments: Ehh...I didn't Victimise to do this good, but Master didn't show Born Slippy, the God of SubSpace. Misterio was a suprisingly good player on Master, he terriered his way to a 5:3 with a very good performance. Not quite sure how the Victimise-players played, had my eyes on Misterio. Eh...
Mauler's Predictions status: 6-2, 1 matched score
Warlords vs. Integral
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: Warlords by 6
Prediction: Warlords 12-4
Actual final score: Integral 12-2
MVP: blindsight 6:1
Comments: I'm pretty sure that the final score was 12-2, even though the ScoreMaster has a 12-1-score. Not that it really matters. Euripedes, Bad-News, Bearded Dragon and Tarnished Silver were all there, but still Warlords really got their asses handed to them here. Euri got a 1:1, so he isn't the guy to blame. blindsight (6:1 MVP) and B|nary (5:0) from Integral decided this match for their squad and it'll be really intresting to see if they can keep up with this pace.
Mauler's Predictions status: 6-3, 1 matched score
BlackNike vs. Idiosyncrasy
Mauler's ScoreMaster prediction: BlackNike by 8
Prediction: BlackNike 12-3
Actual final score: BlackNike 12-4 (UNCONFIRMED)
MVP: Unknown
Comments: Not much to say here, since I didn't see the match. Was playing a Draft League match at the same time, but when I got to the BN vs Idio -match, it was already over. Anyways, I got a second matched score on ScoreMaster, something must be wrong here. Heard that this was a good match, so it was a good match.
Mauler's Predictions status: 7-3, 1 matched score
