Avant Garde v Sequential Gaming
Oh damn this game gonna be an exciting one after the last season dramas in which a bunch of AG members were banned for smurfing against SQL and got a DQ loss. Hopefully AG have cleaned up their act with their revised lineup and will bring some big plays. Expect them to get parasite every game like they always do and try to farm all game like they always do. SQL should be a challenge for AG, as their push-teamfight playstyle naturally counters the hard carry defensive strategy that AG like to run. Sequential haven't lost to AG for a while, and have recently hit a strong streak which should carry through to this sunday's games. With strong strategies and good execution SQL should be able to take this one quite easily against the recently restructured Avant Garde.
Prediction: 2:1 Sequential
How To Lose v Iplay
O lawd we got some close games this week strong league strong league. Your boys over at hTL haven't been having a good run at all, having had to face Mindfreak and Fray in their first two matchups. On the bright side, with the best two teams out of the way, they can only do better from now on (hopefully). hTL haven't really been doing any better than expected, as they really need to work on drafting and teamwork, but could bring out a performance this week if iLy will let them. iPlay have been doing so much worse than expected. Your boy Keeb`0_om ragequit the team last week (to go to hTL funnily enough drama drama) after iLy got unexpectedly buried so deep into the steadily growing landfill that is the slain enemies of the surprisingly strong 1day team he had to get LocShadow's entire family to bring all of their forklifts down to get him out. Unfortunately it was a sunny day so he couldn't make it because he has red hair and is probably albino. That's gotta be a pretty tough loss to make you leave the sponsorship given to you by the cafe you play in (I'm assuming they get to play for free at iPlay or some shit). Anyways I'm
hoping iPlay can get back in form to take this one out and the loss of one of their leaders doesn't set them back too much, but I think that this game will be a redemption for hTL (assuming boostn isn't on tundra).
(or in the game)
Prediction: 2:1 hTL

Crux Crew v One Day Team 1
Holy shit I was so wrong about 1day they're my new favourite team they don't give a **** they nearly took a match off fray in week 1 and followed it up with coming at iPlay looking fly as a plane like the Nation of Domination with ur boy Kvx playing like The Rock dropping sharpshooters and Samoan elbows all over them game in game out in two enormous handlings.
I mean shit I predicted this to be 2:1 to iPlay and I couldn't have been more wrong.
1day's pain train power streak will keep on trucking this week through the beleaguered CRUX Crew, who took a series of tough losses to SQL last week. If xCRU can sort out their picking and lanes (they were kind of a joke against SQL) then they will be in with a far better chance, but at the moment your boys over at 1day aka degeneration x look to get they piledrive on.
Prediction: 2:0 1day
MATCH TO WATCH

Mindfreak.Razer v Frenetic Array
Aww shitttttt we got a grand final sneak peek and it's only week 3. I've made it match to watch because of the level of skill that will be on display from all players but if you're interested in close matches you're better off watching AG vs Sequential. Fray nearly got swindled by hTL and 1day when they were running joke drafts but they don't play that shit against teams that they know actually have the ability to beat them. If fray isn't running Missy this should be a bit of a walkover as the teamwork and strategy exhibited by fray recently is pretty unmatched. As always, MindFreak haven't been practicing much so they're probably expecting to lose, but they should put up a good fight as they are nowhere close to being slouches.
Prediction: 2:0 Fray
