In base, ogron chose R1p1t1! as their semifinal opponent, while Kobe gets to play Nightmare.
[B]Gryffindor [/B](5 wins in main season) vs [B]R1p1t1! [/B](4 wins in main season 2-0 in quarters)
Gryffindor ended the main season with a high, defeating R1p1t1!, so maybe this is one of the reasons they chose that team in semis as well. Ogrons team is built upon strong terrier and spiders, while sharks rozay, omega red and jackie are probably the worst out of all teams remaining in competition. It hasnt stopped them, as absurd, brethal, renzi and hellkite have been on fire and dominating top, while rasaq, merc, snoopie and tiny performed well as lower star spiders. In draft league, having a bit weaker shark line is not end of world, as long as terrier stays alive and spiders dominate, renzi leading teks among spiders this seasons shows they are constant threat.
R1p1t1! has also 10* terrier in mikkiz, but more experienced sharks in willby and violence. They also possess great firepower in bacon, jurassic and jack, who dominated in quarters, followed by lower star unders of jz, bugy or PA. So overall team without any weaknesses and probably a bit underrated under spiders. So comparing 2 teams, i would give advantage of sharks to rapid, terrier probably to gryffindor, with spiders, over spiders seem stronger for gryffindor, while under stronger for rapid. So really equal teams, games will be tight and last second defense may decide it. So here i am giving my vote for gryffindor, i think for those deciding moments, their lineup will prevail.
[B]My prediction: Gryffindor will win 2-1[/B]
[B]Kobe [/B](4 wins in main season) vs [B]Nightmare [/B](3 wins + 1 win and forfeited game)
Kobes turn of tide in last main season game is the biggest comeback game ive played in tw. So obviously mood is high in our camp. With Ekko doing some crazy shit in terr, zid and zap being nicely balanced shark duo and sarger/mouse doing some real damage as over and hellz, best, kov, tripin, kov, myself being rotated for rest of spiders, we can held our own against any team. Kobe faced nightmare in first round of league, but alot has changed since then. Most importantly, mouse actually played for nightmare in beginning of the league, so time will tell, who will pull the longest straw in this trade.
Nightmare got a bit lucky in quarters, as they had to face seriously demoralized outlaw team without their leaders and after winning first game quickly, were forfeited the other one. So they really got sort of free pass to semis. They havent been really that impressive all season, and apart from that lucky pass to semis, their last win against team not named outlaw comes from week 2, when they still had mouse. Unlike other teams, they also do not seem to have all position settled even now. Time will tell if they actually play lai as terrier in order to field really strong spider and shark line or try some other solutions. Using 7* terrier in semis is big risk, but neither genx or aprix have been particulary impressive in that role either. Apart from myth, their sharks keep changing as well, with 5 different players being used in that role. So alltogether, probably team with most flexibility, but at this stage, well oiled team will take the win.
