Monk vs Nakedman:
Tempest - Team Monk Wins
Typhoon - Team Naked Man Wins
TB (Rankin) - Team Naked Man Wins
Going with what is probably considered a slight underdog in this match, I think it will be a very close one all 3 maps with Team Nakedman Winning in the end.
JYB vs CSN
Peak - Team JYB Wins
Olden - Team JYB Wins
Although I didn't at all like the draft pick of risus as their 4th, aside from that JYB had a good draft. And, aside from risus their other 3 starters have been very active and seem committed to trying to win this season.
I'm predicting a 2-0 sweep in this match. Unlike some, I'm not feeling very confident at all in csn's team this season. With 2 of their starters lacking sdom experience in a big way in rain and paleface. Their 2 starters with more sdom experience, csn who can't be expected to carry anything, and xenoscythe who has been pretty much inactive.. I'm just not feeling much success at all for them this season, and it will start with a big loss in week 1 reg.
SCREAM vs HULKSMASH
Olden - Team HULKSMASH Wins
Seraphim - Team HULKSMASH Wins
Ramdrop and Sens are both great sdom players, but I don't think it will be enough here. I really like the roster of HULKSMASH, and I expect this team to contend for a championship this season. Rummy, humpty, blackout and kud is a lineup that is going to bring great chemistry and sdom experience.. they are going to be tough to beat by any team, and I just don't give team scream any chance here.
2-0 HULKSMASH.
RICKJAMES vs MIRACLE
Gharden - Team Miracle Wins
Slimetime - Team Miracle Wins
Tough match to call, I don't see either of these teams contending for a championship so I'm just going to give the edge in this match to Team Miracle because they have bleh-.
RJ's team has such a weird mix of players I really have no idea how they're going to do this season.. this match will be a big test for them, and I expect it to be relatively close but in the end I'm predicting team miracle to win in 2 maps.
