ESEA-I S5 W3 Predictions

Hello everyone!  So i figured i'd give predictions a shot since they seem to be hard to come by now a days.  For those of you who do not know me, i'm Phaser - i currently play for MoB gaming in ESEA-I.  Before this i've played for HF, sway, pure e sports, and TDA.  I've been around since the game started all the way back to the first cevo tourney.  Being around the game, leagues, and players this long has hopefully helped on my insight into these predictions.  Hope you enjoy - be gentle, it's my first time :)

Complexity v Loaded

Complexity is looking great so far - pretty much blowing past everyone they've faced and making it look almost too easy.  It's no mystery that their scout duo continues to carry them, but add along 2 solid soldiers, one of the best demos in the game - and hopefully a consistent medic in pure and i can almost guarantee they go back to the finals again.  Loaded has all the talent to make it far, but they have yet to really click in a match.  They recently added my boy reen to the mix, so it will be interesting to see if he is a starter or just a backup - and if he has lost any of his pizzazz.  Hopefully with a few more matches together they can make an impact in the division- unfortunately I do not see that happening in this match though.

EG v Complexity

MOTW

This will definitely be an awesome match.  The top 2 teams squaring off on a map that hasn't seriously been played in NA will definitely add to the excitement here.  EG has been playing solid lately, and cyz/syck (if on their top game) i feel are capable of leveling off the col. duo.  Carn/enigma are known for being amazingly coordinated with flanks and double attacks - but this is more of a head on DM scenario so i'll be curious to see how this pans out.  The demo/ soldier matchups are too close to call, this will be ridiculous!   It will also depend on what new strats we see...engy, maybe even a heavy???  I think this will be a close one regardless, i can't foresee either of these teams playing super aggressive and getting blown out by silly strats.  While this could go either way, i just have a feeling EG will edge this one out and keep their undefeated steak alive.  Make this your HLTV / Demo download of the week :)

TF2 ESEA-I Week 3 Predictions

Week 3

Week 2 of ESEA was played on cp_follower, a map plagued by stalemates and backcaps and is agreed by most to be boring to play as well as to watch. Week 3 presents ctf_turbine, a map that was tried early on in the life of competitive tf2 but was taken off the lineup in NA because most believed ctf didn’t work as great in TF2 as it did in its predecessor, TFC. Yet, Euro’s continue to play on the map and it’s considered one of their favorites. After the success of the koth gametype in week 1, hopefully ctf can be revived, adding depth to competitive tf2.

Snipers and engineers are situational on turbine, yet I feel most teams will see that 2 scouts are better than 1 scout + 1 engy/sniper. Therefore for many teams, the basic lineup will be played for the majority of the match. Kritz is also run from time to time to mix things up and keep opponents on their heels, but uber remains the default choice.

ESEA-I S5 Week 2 Predictions

Week 1 in ESEA was crucial, as it was the first step in showing how well each of the ‘new’ teams could play. With completely reinvented teams outside of the Big 3 (coL, EG and Blight) and MoB, it was interesting to see what teams would show up. So far no major upsets have been presented, although that could take place with a match still left not played (Pandemic v Complexity). All of the teams expected to do well thus far have done well, and all the teams predicted to not play as great did… just that. Week 2 brings out a highly scrutinized map in cp_follower. This map is remake, combining Badlands and Granary, and is prone to backcaps. I expect to see teams try running sniper at some point (not as often as on Viaduct), but for the most part the map will be a big stalemate and won’t be too spectator friendly.


With a majority of the college folks focusing on exams or headed back home, I don’t expect a large percentage of these games to actually get played before the New Years. I also, don’t foresee many teams being able to get 6 to scrim this map before they play their matches. Like Viaduct, this is a legitimate test to the lower tier teams, yet for the Big 3, this is just a map that they’ll half-way try on and wouldn’t feel too ashamed losing.

ESEA-O S5 W1 Predictions

Map: Koth_Viaduct

The first week of ESEA definitely has some great match ups in store for us. After a surprising map choice of Viaduct it will be very interesting to see the strats that the top tier teams have come up with. This week will definitely set the tone for this season.
