Ahhh, Cevo Main. Arguably one of the worst leagues from a statistics standpoint: no cash prize, over half the teams failing/dropping, and over HALF of the matches forfeited. The teams that stuck it out are in the playoffs, and their matches will be good.
I am going to be using the format of predictions in BOLD and results in italics.

Round 1 (cp_freight):
#4 TBA vs. #5 Slaughterhouse Gaming
Slaughterhouse Gaming 5 - 3 TBA
#3 the terribles vs. #6 No Grid
The terribles will be able to take this match on freight without breaking a sweat. No Grid didn't win a single game this season in CEVO, but they had the bad luck of having FIVE forfeit games. The destructive scout combination of the terrible's cake and poopinator will make short work of the No Grid team. Unless No Grid has some amazing sniper skills hiding dormant I can't see them taking mid more than once. Players to watch for will be the terrible's cake (scout) and No Grid's marme|| (demoman).
the terribles 5 - 1 No Grid
The reason this will cover a round 1 match and a round 2 match is because of the terribles. They play (at least) 5 matches this week with 4 coming from ESEA, because I guess they couldn't play last week. Those bastards. This match will be played on Tuesday October 6th.
Round 2 (cp_yukon):
Upper Bracket:
#1 Strickland Propane vs. #5 Slaughterhouse Gaming
Well first off, congratulations to Slaughterhouse Gaming for beating TBA. Unfortunately for SG, they will have to play an even better team this week in Strickland Propane. To me, no one in particular stands out on the Slaughterhouse roster in terms of fragging ability, but their teamwork must have been exceptional to take down TBA. However, against a team with exceptional fragging and teamwork, I don't think Slaughterhouse can pull off two upsets in a row. Players to watch for on Slaughterhouse will be their whole team. If their teamwork is not perfect, they have no chance of winning. Strickland's scouts will be an overwhelming force on yukon's middle, forcing Slaughterhouse to change mid tactics several times throughout the match with limited success.
Strickland Propane 5 - 0 Slaughterhouse Gaming
Strickland Propane 5 - 1 Slaughterhouse Gaming
