Best Damn WCG#4 Single Elim Predictions
http://us.wcg.com/?page=stem_schedule&stageid=4176
Maps: Port; Tiebreak Factory
1Life2Live vs Instinct
Ins: James Jaime KimKyung-Jin Pablo Leapy-
1L2L: driLkes y3k0m5 Elijah SuKo & blackcat/polish1991
Players to Watch: y3k0m5 Jaime
Upsets do happen. Heat Mavericks. Patriots Giants. Canucks Bruins. Go ahead and take that last one off the list, Tim Thomas is a ice hockey gladiator, not a goalie. We all knew what was going to happen. USA! USA! USA! Jaime has a very particular set of skills; skills he has acquired over a very long crossfire career. Skills that make him a nightmare for people like LPK. Seriously, stop making us look bad. Instinct also plays like crap in most of their matches. Some say off client warriors, other say unlucky. Personally I think they are one of the top teams in our version. American or Canadian. If you look at this based purely on past performances you definitely have to favor Instinct. I however really really hope they choke and lose this match. Would make for some fun forum threads. I am gonna go with statistics over wishful thinking
Ins > 1L2L 18-10
Some people may ask why Laura as the player to watch for 1L2L, well here is your answer: http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/3430/crossfire200907300001.png
She top frags over 0z and apx in matches.

dws: minty ghandi bad mav shook
eotL: ryangi, prepaid, zeolite, ralf, ilikefresh****
Players to Watch: minty prepaid
With eotL’s huge win over LPK on cast, they definitely seem like the favorites. Especially with over 10 years combined 1.6 experience. Wait… what? eotL has a few things going for them: they are a new team and all have the competitive drive & they have the crossfire experience to take on the veteran pug of dws. It also helps eotL that dws views them as inferior and are pretty much just going to show up and frag. The problem is the fact that dws has a combination of some of the top WOGL players. Most of their roster has been around since before the WOGL CF Launch Tourny. They are a super pug of the top fraggers from various teams. This does lead to a problem. If everyone is the frag allstar, who is going to do the support roles? I think this match is going to come down to 2 things. 1) Has eotL practiced their hearts out? 2) Which minty will show up? If the lackadaisical emotionless minty shows up dws will get stomped. If the minty from WEM shows up, eotL stands little chance. Prepaid’s proclamation that LPK is bad and he is an AK legend could hold true. Then again only people like myawm say LPK is bad.
dws > eotL 15-10
exile vs facedown

xil: bromontana whazfan69 burgerbuddys weh[-o-] ze0n
Players to watch: bromontana rpbigL
I really have no idea who will be playing for xil. The biggest thing they have going for them is individual raw talent. They have competed in so many FPS games over the years, and done well. The biggest thing holding them back is activity. If you have been gaming since 2003-2004 you kinda grow tired and lose the competitive drive. If they went active they could easily win the next qualifier or even the last chance qualifier. Unfortunately they haven’t played much, and I have a feeling it will end in disappointment like it did last summer for the WEM qualifier. I am going to give this match to fDN based purely on crossfire experience and activity. Port is also a great map to crouch snipe on.
fDN > xil 18-9
LL.USA vs Headshot She Wrote
LL.USA: mickeyes, brando, hobnasty, monstar, naos
HSW: Hyroshi Sea1 MiX flaNN kendizzo
Players to Watch: MiX monstar
This is one of the more interesting matchups. Both teams are recently formed. The crossfire experience edge definitely goes to LL.USA. They have seasoned veterans as well as upcoming stars. I do have to give the overall “gaming” experience to HSW. MiX played some invite in cs:s and the core of HSW has been together for far to long. They have lanned together, and that really helps give chemistry when the times get tough. I do think with factory being one of the trickier crossfire maps, if this match goes to overtime the advantage definitely goes LL.USA. Port should be a more even matchup. HSW has a fast paced and creative style, utilizing unique stacks and pushes to keep opponents off guard. I don’t think the uniqueness will be enough to keep LL.USA uncomfortable. After gaining players from vanity, their lineup strengthened immensely. This could set a precedent for the next qualifier for teams to combine and make the best lineup of 5 possible. Sea1’s hybrid play could really give HSW an advantage. Port is a map where being able to switch from scope to rifle really lets you stay 1 step ahead of the other team. I picked monSTAR as the player to watch from LL.USA, because the k2 can be pivotal in getting early picks to open up the round on BL. HSW does have several Colorado players, so ping could become a disadvantage.
LL.USA > HSW 16-12

I would have to go with your predictions... the most logical.
In important games such as WCG, anything can happen. Every round is crucial.
Maybe even upsets may happen. Who knows?
Like the Spurs getting knocked out of the first round by the grizzles LOLOLOL -
