anyways, predictions cause I did so well last week...
(1) Brattlers vs Smokos (
3)
Bo3: Heaven Jay vs
Skysolo: Sky impressed me a lot last week, but so did Jay to be fair. It'll be a close one I think, but slight edge to Sky.
SS: not a racist vs Maki: I know too little about nar to make a predict here, but it'll be interesting to see how Maki bounces back.
SS: TJ vs
PinkDragonTamer: One of the highlights of the week. Only giving a slight advantage to PDT after a very, very rough showing last week, but I have faith in a bounce back week.
SS: Voltage vs Splash: Incredibly close match here after two really solid week ones. Too close to comfortably call.
SM:
Velvet vs Yami: Yami did not impress last week, and though I still value Jordy support in SM, think this is Velvet's to lose.
SM: Granny Pie vs
Jordy: A tough loss against a good player week one doesn't change my opinion of Jordy in SM, and though GP picked up his first win, I think it's hard to bet on the guy who uses the same team religiously vs one of the better preppers in the field.
I know 2 non predicts is a bit of a cop out, but my gut tells me 51-49 games in favor of nar and splash if I had to make the call. 55-45 Smokos.
(3) Pyroaks vs Astrolotls (3)
Bo3:
Xavgb vs Binacleisbest: Stresh showed up extremely well against harder competition week one and I'll continue to bold him until he gives me a reason not to.
SS:
Snake_Rattler vs D2theW: Glad to see snake back in action and he starts with a really difficult test; D2 has had some great performances as of late. This one can go either way and really has week defining effects for the teams, I think, but a slight edge to the R1 pick of the roaks.
SS: K3ppr vs
ADF Test: K3p really struggled last week, and I'll be trendy here and pick ADF in a very winnable matchup.
SS: Doomstadt vs
Sputnik: Very, very close game forecasted, but I'm very unfamiliar with Doom's SS history and think Sput can bounce back with a stronger build than last week.
SM:
GardeLame vs Airwind: Another knifes edge game I lean more than enough one way to call, I think Garde can pull off the W here- a lot depends on what Air brings, though.
SM: SunMYSER vs
Denyrus: GF buff appears to be very real, and I'm very low on Sun personally- though I'm also not sure Deny isn't a one game wonder.
I think the roaks have slightly better odds at taking the series, but I think if the Lotls can unseat Snake it's a very, very winnable series. 55-45 Roaks.
