Hey there, pizanos! It's Sir Spider with your weekly dose of Hot or Not. I'm taking over for Cres this week and possibly next week as he finishes up classes. However, we've still got his interviews, and they'll go after each game breakdown. That said, let's take a look at TWLD Week 1, shall we?
If reading is too boring, catch my recording of this week's TWLD HoN here:

Penetrate vs. Paladen
50 - 25
MVP: Sir Spider!
The first game of the week featured a match between Penetrate and Paladen. Early predictions for this game had the game ending very close, with the game hinging on the final 5 kills or so for either side. As it turns out, folks, quite the opposite happened. Paladen had absolutely no chance in this game, as in the early going they were down 21 to 6, and things barely got better from there, with Penetrate taking a 50-25 win in one of the biggest blowouts we are likely to see this season. The evil terrorist warbird lineup of Penetrate made Paladen look like a bus loaded with passengers driving through Palestine today, with Sir Spider at 15-6, Raazi at 14-5, and Reaver at 10-3 all delivering outstanding performances. The combined 1-10 efforts of claushouse and Papa Diop were certainly of no help to Paladen. And furthermore, why use Papa Diop as a sub when you've got people like Burg on the sidelines? On a fun note, Cres and Rasaq's records added up to 9-11. Sir Spider and Raazi's record added up to 29-11. Reaver dropped a 10-3, which is March 10th using the European dating system, which is also the day Osama Bin Laden was born. This isn't a coincidence, folks. It's DX.
Epidemic vs. DyNasty
50 - 35
MVP: LaSenza!
Game Two featured Epidemic taking on Dynasty. In what could have been described as a questionable move, LaSenza got the start for Epidemic today. If we all think back, the last time s(he) was seen in a TWL arena was in a disappointing 0-6 round 3 as Pandora lost to Savanger in the TWLD playoffs last season. Today, however, the asian fashion model showed up ready to play, as his/her 7-0 start led to a 13-4 finish and a 50-35 victory for Epidemic. Despite collecting a rapid amount of deaths to start with, Wall (12-8) and wyne (9-8) provided some key support for this victory. Demonic (10-10) was the only person to finish even or better for Dynasty, and only because of a last second 2fer did that even occur. Kthx shitting the bed at 3-10 was probably the low point of this game, and badjob's 2-6 certainly didn't help anyone out. Best of luck to Ravage and Dynasty next week. Hope you guys can recover and you're not the joke squad I think you are.
Thunder vs. Sweet
50 - 39
MVP: Zyphen!
Game Three of the week featured Thunder taking on Sweet. This game has been getting a lot of hype as the potential game of the week, and while it fell short of that, it was still an exciting matchup. The primary focus this week had to be on Engineers, as so far in TWL this year, he has had his share of struggles. Unfortunately for Riverside and the rest of Sweet, those struggles continued, as Thunder took advantage of this and captured a 50-39 victory. Zyphen led the way for Thunder this week with a 14-7 performance, with great support from pretty much everyone else playing with him, more specifically Ease with 11 kills and chuckle with 10 kills. On the other side, despite Jones's best efforts to try and hero this one, his 14-10 wasn't enough to make up for the poor efforts of the Engineers/Dak 5-10 combo and the Seismic/Caos 3-10 combo. As I told Engineers after he subbed out...
Sir Spider> yo u need to find ur happy place bro
Engineers> hm
Engineers> yeh
Engineers> need to balance my offensiveness
Engineers> cuz the second i start to backpedal i start to suck
Sir Spider> ye
Hopefully he pulls it together, and soon. He's got the potential to be the biggest game changer Sweet has this year.
The fourth and fifth games of the day took place simultaneously, but let's cover the less exciting of the two first.
Fierce vs. Hit
50 - 40
MVP: scoop!
Game Four featured Fierce taking on Hit. Just looking at squad names and reputations alone, this game looks completely lopsided in the favor of Fierce, but hit has an ace up their sleeve in the form of Sika, who can do some amazing things, as evidenced by the 19-8 he dropped on Penetrate in preseason. Unfortunately, he wasn't dealt quite the same hand to start off the TWL season, as he only put together a 10-10 game, and he was the only person to get into double digit kills for hit, as Fierce grabbed a 50-40 victory. It was really a combined team effort from Fierce, as scoop, Apok and DEEZ NUTS each carried out some very solid games, with scoop at 13-7 grabbing the MVP. The X factor for hit, Sika, was effectively held in check by DEEZ NUTS in this one, and his performance was no doubt a game changer. Don't count Sika out of anything, though. There's still a lot of games left to be played, and there's a chance he could catch fire and lead hit to some surprising wins.
Dice vs. Asians
50 - 49
MVP: Unabled!
Game Five featured a match between Dice and Asians, in what turned out to be the closest game of the week, and the most exciting one, to boot. The lead changed hands a good number of times in this one, and for a while, it looked like Asians may have had this wrapped up enough to pull off a small upset. It was never meant to be, though, as the 9-2 sub from a2m was just too much for Asians to handle, and while the bot may have given the MVP to Unabled for this game, he doesn't deserve that title as much as a2m does. Absolutely clutch performance from him in this game to save the day, and Weak, at 3-7, should be kissing your feet for it. Unabled and megaman also put up some great performances for Dice, and Asians had 3 people in double digit kills as well, but really, it was a2m who stepped up and stole the show this game. Props to him for saving the day and making this game one to talk about for a while. That's gotta feel good.
Overall Hot Player of the Week: a2m (9-2)
-A clutch 9-2 sub to save the game earns him this spot over everyone else this week, and it's well deserved. The ultimate game changer of the week.
Honorable Mentions: Sir Spider (15-6), Raazi (14-5), LaSenza (13-4), Apok (12-5), scoop (13-7), DEEZ NUTS (12-8), Zyphen (14-7)
Overall Not Player(s) of the Week: Paladen
-When your best player of the week only drops 8 kills, you have a combined 1-10 and a combined 4-10, and your score is exactly half that of the team that won the game, you've gotta think there's something horribly wrong here. There are a lot of things wrong with Paladen, really, and I hope their performance in all leagues this first week out gets them thinking about that. I want to see these guys do better in every possible way, but there's some really poor decision making going on there that's holding them back more than anything, and no amount of blaming losses on Sir Spider's lag will fix that.
Dishonorable Mentions: siaxis (1-6, subbed out), badjob (2-6, subbed out), Engineers (3-8, subbed out), Seismic (1-6, subbed out)
Week 2 features
