TWLD Overlook

[Wirah]

... and SHOOTING OFF SCREEN in order to win

Surely not. The bastards!

Spezza my man,

1) you went like 16-5 every time I borrowed you in a DD this week
2) I was getting anxiety reading the all caps
3) <3

-Monster over Paladen in 2
-Rage over Thunder in 3 ... Very tough pick though and can definitely go either way depending on round 2 / round 3 adjustments
-Sweet over Spastic
-Wolf over Marksmin (sorry Ras and Paky again for the ... well you know)

This thread has been A LOT! of fun! I will now give my great thoughts on these games.

Monster vs Paladen. Paladen has played really well this year! Congratulations! However this will be a slapping, Monsters wb's don't care about being more skilled than their opponents they will do NASTY things.. DISHONOURABLE TEAMING.. and SHOOTING OFF SCREEN in order to win. Its DISGUSTING!!!!! on top of that they are better than paladen. Sorry paly dudes, but at least you have next week! Monster may use more than 5 wbs in these games, which is quite unfair and may be cause for Jessup to appeal.

Thunder vs Rage - I thought rage would dominate warbird. BUT I was wrong!! AND beam is the only one on atm the night before the big match.. DOES NO ONE EVEN CARE?! It's tough for them to practice 5v5 because of how they play in dd vs twl is very different. Monster's style translates better from twd to twl I think. I disagree with turban assuming they are more skilled and only lose because of "coin flips", UR WAY SMARTER THAN THAT, ADAPT, OVERCOME! Thunder does seem to have holes in their line but I think its exaggerated and their top end might be the best in ld. Match of the week and either team could win but I will take thunder because Ease is going to cheat and just control the arrows while his niece presses the control button. WILL THERE BE AN APPEAL?

Sweet vs Spastic - They stomp us both regular season games. Don't see why that would change, I am ass in the current era of wb and on top of this engineers seems to have constructed some type of spezza voodoo doll where he can just thrust anywhere he wants and i will shoot and get owned. Sweet should be better than they have performed vs the top teams in this league and hopefully they can come together and compete vs the top 3 teams. Jamal has been very good for Spastic, owning every team he comes across. He needs around 20 for this to be even close to competitive though.

Marksmin vs Wolf - I think Wolf wins, they are PEAKING!! lamedfighter has been PRACTICING! Rasaqu been online, and it's a best of one so viop can not have a half time speech, is it grounds for an appeal?!?

Looking forward to the finals in a few weeks after we get through all the appeals this week of drama is sure to bring!

Upper bracket is best of 3

[Jessup]

When do playoffs go to best of 3 rounds? I'm assuming not in this phase and all these games are one round? Turban? Lock?

[Jones]

Thats the one. I would hate to see a playoff game be decided because the timer runs out

[Turban]

is the timer fixed though?

what timer? if it's the game timer, then yeah set at 30mins which is whatever.

[Jones]

thanks for write-up.

Rage will win assuming the game is a fast-paced one as we are more skilled where as most Thunder players seem to hope for the game to be a marathon which turns the game into a complete coin flip. more lobbing means less skill required as you do not have to deal with close range battles, and have far more time to dodge incoming shots which means you can have the slowest reaction speed imaginable and still do fine. this is why the league is fundamentally broken in my opinion, and perhaps it is soon time to make some changes to the arena settings to reduce or outright eliminate off screen kills.

By no means can Rage "overpower" Thunder. If the game increases a lead mid to late game, it would be Thunder unable to keep up with the pacing and essentially be beating themselves, especially if Ease doesn't have a half-decent game. And by his standard thats give or take about 12 kills. He and Peru need to lead the way for Thunder to be considered competition in this matchup. And 100 percent disagree Monster absolutely "pounding" Paladen, although odds are yeah you'll win. Game will only turn into a pounding if Mega can't lead the way and Pineapple struggles to find more than 7 or so kills.Iron will for sure get his over-10 kill game and if vys shows its a done deal.

Olde's predictions boys and trannies!
.
Monster- Absolutely pounding Paladen " with any lineup they field! Might as well be a Bi-week.
.
Rage- Just overpowering Thunder close rage r1 pressure, what starts out as a close match and the rushing by rage being too much for thunder to handle and running away with the game late.
.
Sweet- making quick work of Spastic. Not much to say about this game as long as the 5 wbs sweet has rostered showup, this vet lineup should have no problem picking apart the basing lineup Spastic shows. Jones MVP!
.
Marksmin- Over Wolf this game has the potential to go both ways as the lineups are pretty even on paper. I think this match is gonna come down to an individual preference on the lower tier end of the line up " pretty much who ever doesn't choke wins".
.

Goodluck in the trenches to all the teams, Olde

[Engineers]

Pretty big individual + teaming skill gap between the top 3 (Rage/Monster/Thunder) and the rest of the pack. Should be a fun set of games to watch. Gl to everyone.

[ixt]

fair enough. everyone wants to put their strongest foot forward.

[Ricko]

and to reply this blatant remark, its either u or Tripin benchwarming this series tbh. Clark Kent isnt even considered in the lineup.

TY for your opinion - All I've said in this thread is thanks for benching me. Nothing else. You are entitled to your opinion.

[Rasaq]

Good job with your predictions, ixt. Hello friends!
