15:00 - 9:30

Respect vs. Penetrate
(no comment)

Thunder vs. Dice
12:25 - 15:00

Sage vs. Anti-Scrub
11:00 - 15:00

Calling an upset for the A-S game, but the others should go as expected. Let the shit-talk commence.

[Diakka]

Mad vs. BW (14:00-15:00)

if Mad's basing line shows up this weekend they have a good chance at winning but if it's anything like the last few weeks they will lose. BW is a good squad and deserve some credit. they gonna come out strong and make this a close game regardless of what players show on either side. the only upset im going with this weekend is this match right here. i have a feeling the wave gonna pull a win out.

Respect vs. Penetrate (15:00 - 10:30)

no comment? really fit? the squad that is always playing us has to start these threads dont they. anyway, we got this in the bag...the only problems we might encounter could be their sharks. even then i think we will manage.

Thunder vs. Dice (5:00 - 15:00)

obv dice is going to run over Thunder unless a miracle strikes, like thunder gets good at basing. dice won't lose another match until they play us. thunder on the other hand has a very good chance at not winning another game. look for this to be a boring game with dice holding cram for 10 minutes straight.

Sage vs. Anti-Scrub (15:00 - 8:00)

Sage should have no problem with this one. if a-s wants any chance at winning they need to shark brookus, and terr someone else, but they have no other terrs so i guess they screwed. sage's only loss was against us and they look good. they push with no remorse and a-s won't be able to keep up. i expect there to be very little cramming in this game, prolly lots of fr battling with sage having flag.

word to ur mother

[Fit of Rage]

I only gave no comment on Respect vs Pene because I don't comment on my own squad. I'll leave speculation for my own games to other people.

MATCH OF THE WEEK: PENE VS RESPECT

[Jason]

actually i'm more interested to see mad vs brainwave. i'm hoping brainwave puts up a strong showing.

(yeah, i'm on mad now, but honestly i wouldn't mind seeing an upset from bw. it's nice to see underdog teams come together and kick ass.)

Mad vs. BW
13:00 - 15:00
Hm.... Mad, up until now I thought they were just LD/LJ contenders and a joke LB squad which was being carried by Turban. Just looked @ their roster and they are depth in each category. The part of their lineup that worries me most is their sharks, if mattey and cranium show up, the win is leaning towards mad. Another problem for brainwave is, they are bad at playing against specials, so most likely MM_God if put in jav will rape, unless brainwave adds a pushing spid line with spiders such as farscape and tj hazuki, but this'll take away from their lineups ability to kill . Fuck. Key spids: Turban, Remu, and Ronny (say what you want about his camping, but he gets a shit load of kills)



Game of the Week:
Respect vs. Penetrate
15:00 - 13:50
This is definitely gonna be the game to watch. Respect has been easing their way through all their wins so far, but penetrate I have a feeling is gonna show a good lineup to this match. In past few rounds some of their key players have not been showing up, but still they have been doing good due to their squad chemistry. So...... what is there to say about Respect? They have great squad chemistry, (mainly because like 1/2 the roster knows each other irl) and unlike many twlb lineups theirs consists of 4 consistant pushers. Hellkite being a definite key one of them. The 5th spider is cripple who does enough camping to make up for the whole team. (Someones gotta get the kills). Pene NEEDS Dead_rain to show, no offence to fermata, but the DR. is just too good in terr and imo, if anything Respect doesnt have an "official" terr. Diakka (sry bruh) just wont cut it. He's a solid spid for their lineup and should stay there. Menel is a pretty good terr for the squad, but he is needed in shark. Pene show a nice line plz. !!!!!!!

Thunder vs. Dice
6:00 - 15:00
Can sumone tell me what the fuck is up with Thunder? There is no way you can blame the way this team is playing on the terr. Stabwound, Necromotic, Kian, and Humid. These are some bad-ass (in the good way) players, on paper you'd expect them to be going far, raping asses, but this lineup just doesn't seem to be clicking. Maybe missing Old Pauloakenfold as shark. Reaver should terr and Fludd should be in spid. (Is ease going on an LB strike). My guess for the lineup issue is that its unbalanced in the types of styles their spiders play. I dont see any hardcore pushers in that lineup. Thunder had Dald before, but he could run through bullets which is probably why he pushed so much. Dice is hot shit, as we all know. Their spid line is awesome they got Jamal Megaman Stayon and the list goes on..... this is whats carrying them though. Tim isn't as hot as I would of been expecting. Probably because tims offensive style of terring isn't what dice is used to. Since defensive Chief Utsav had been terring for them for quite a while. For both teams I think the second shark partner is whats downing the team. Max B and Cig smoke(holy fuck this guy thinks he is like 1000x better than he actually is) are being carried by Stabwound and Dwopple. Dice's spids will rape this game and they will win. The end.

Sage vs. Anti-Scrub
15:00 - 7:00

Sage has a few key players and I dont see much depth in them, but luckily for them these key players keep showing to lb! Zizu is probably #1 in tw atm. Having Spikey and Gazo as key pushers in their lineup. Joe_ and Apoc WOW! are a solid sharking pair they seem to be in each others minds when sharking. This is where A-S gets fucked over. Ephemeral might be a good shark on paper, but it is quite easy to bomb him and lucky for A-S, Joe_ just happens to be a great bomber in shark. 1 + 1 = 2. A-S has 1 good top line that is if their top 8 from their whole roster show, which is veryyyyyyyyy unlikely. So weak links are added. The game will be interesting for about 3-4 minutes where there is an FR battle and Solacer will rape under and basically kill all of sage. Then Zizu will quickly get back into fr before letting A-S set up a cram and burst brookus. Brookus will then scream so much at his team that he'll pop a vein and dc from all the spam.

in depth prediction Mad vs. Brainwave

-- blahblah wasting time on mornings --

Mad versus Brainwave

Before you start reading, these are my personal feelings and opinions about our squad and the players that we have. They do not reflect to my squad captains' opinions, although I hope that for once they will start thinking before they add the lineups.

We still haven't found our "chemistry" between the spiders; however we are getting better day by day, I can guarantee you that. We have plenty of players that are capable of playing spider, although I personally would bench a couple of them for their 'bad habits' including, but not limited to, camping, shark killing in middle and not knowing when to push. We simply just have to play better and smarter. If we can manage to do that we should have a great match and season ahead of us.

What concerns me most about our lineup is our terrier, Zizzo. He really needs to step up his game or we might be screwed for the rest of the season. He has to work (a lot) on his positioning in flag room, timing the sharks, how to play when attacking cram and reaction speed, as now he's basically just a nuisance for our team. But there's hope, he just needs to practise until his hands bleed and remain focused when it matters.

I feel that our strongest aspect in our lineup is the sharks. Mattey, Cranium and Olivier are all "offensive type" sharks that aren't afraid to move forward and deal some damage to the enemy. If something happens that none of them can't show up, we still have plenty of players that are capable of being a replacement if necessary.

Lineup of Mad:

Terrier: Zizzo
Sharks: Cranium & Mattey
Fighters: Remu, Ro, M_M God, Vys and Turban

Terrier Substitute: Scoop
Shark Substitutes: Olivier / Scoop / M_M God / Credit Account / Turban
Fighter Substitutes: Bram / Might / Scoop / Ronny

As for Brainwave, I simply haven't had the time to follow them much this season. I feel that they might be the underdogs this game, although one should never underestimate their opponent. If they can add a proper lineup against us, this should be a good match to play and watch.

We are pretty evenly matched when it comes to spiders, even though I think we have a bit more depth and pushing power than they do. Their main spider lineup consists of players such as Trasher, Dutch Baser, FarScape and Rucci. Unfortunately some of them aren't aggressive at all, making their team even more vulnerable against javelin bombs. I hope Brainwave adds a couple of spiders that are capable of pushing properly so they will stand a chance. Your best choice would be to add a couple of aggressive spiders (such as FarScape) and try to pressure us, whilst keeping an eye and bullets on the javelin, so he won't be able to bomb you to death. If your spiders can manage to do that, this could be quite a game to play.

Mikkiz is definitely better terrier than Zizzo, I have no doubt about that. However I don't think they are that far away in terms of skill, so in the end the match will be decided by sharks and spiders.

Brainwave seem to have a couple of decent sharks, such as Downfall, Milpitas, Racist FUK and AcidBomber. I think that we have a bit stronger sharks than they do, nevertheless it will be interesting to see which sharks they'll pick to play against us.

Lineup of Brainwave:

Terrier: Mikkiz
Sharks: Downfall & Milpitas
Fighters: FarScape, Rucci, Trasher, Dutch Baser and Jatt.

Terrier Substitute: AcidBomber
Shark Substitutes: Racist FUK / Meddi / AcidBomber
Fighter Substitutes: Tj Hazuki / AcidBomber / Hur / Pappa

Score Prediction and MVP:

15:00 - 13:40 Mad wins the game with Remu (or Rucci he decides to camp) as MVP.

Why is rapid out of twlb? Am I missing something?

Edit: Ah, it seems like because one team was dropped every team gets a week off for twlb. Just looked at the schedule for twlb. Can anyone confirm?
