My predictions for CGA group winners, quarters, semis, and finals.

mlw with their higher tier experience should prevail over a lot of these inexperienced teams, expect strait wins throughout this group for them. I've picked acumen for a close second, reason being is that with a lot of room for improvement we have already taken down half of the opponents in our group previously. You envy, team nochance and artic are relatively established, and so I wont be expecting much improvement to there track records.
Group A
mlw
acumen

MiBR with their former main players may cause an unexpected upset as very few have witnessed them try seriously these days. I hold my reserves for this team as I think good competition will spur their efforts more. I've picked aerial for second considering the track record outside of the ladders. They're a rather new team but have been actively training well before these later stages coming up to the season kick off. nl2 for third - 30mill+ accounts is their norm by the looks of it, haven't seen them play together yet, but I doubt james (or any single player) can pull a team through groups solely.
Group B
MiBR
aerial

I would like to see royale get up on this group (they been at it awhile now), but with the likes of CLC, exposed and MM, they might just be edge out. MM's track record lately has not been that impressive to lead group, but CGA is a different ball game to CGO as we know. CLC coming off a dominating series of CGO may find exposed gaming to be a bit of a challenge here, could go either way, however CLC is my pick for second as they have demonstrated a lot of consistency... and they got 'the dog'. MM have alot of talent to work with, and as the season progresses, I think will find these guys will improve over CLC.
Group C
MM
CLC just over Exposed Gaming

The Alchemist coming off a solid performance in the last ODC were positioned for main, this group particularly will not really present a challenge to them - strait wins for them. Clutchworx second over four sticks in 3rd. Azza and bquick will put up a formidable challenge, and with clutchworx recent additions it may go either way.
Group D
The Alchemist
Clutchworx

Headlinerz with previous CGA finals experience is my pick for this group. They haven't got the results against the higher tier teams recently, however these guys have alot of chemistry, history and experience to fall back on. Much like dreamscape who also has an extensive history together, taking out local LAN comps and now setting their eyes on Australia, both these teams will perform well under pressure, which overall is something a lot of new teams do not take into account. Cortex more so has a solid 3, not 5... and headlinerz and dreamscape will exploit this eventually. Surpass on the otherhand, has a good chance here to make it into the second slot, a lot will depend on team experience over a steep learning curve for others.
Group E
headlinerz
dreamscape

With the likes of muggie, frox, bufa and blkcat, unorthodox should relatively breeze through this group. Avarus, after having their lineup downsized and bumping their subs into core, they do not have the same potential for this season as before. However with the 3 other teams seeding against them (+2 incomplete teams), they will make it out of groups, followed by paintrain who may get up if avarus do not have all there members on.
Group F
unorthoDox
Avarus

FU2 has it's fair share of experienced players, but have lost to destinatus late last year. Yet to see these guys form recently, but their higher tier experience should take it out over destinatus and their 10-man squad that is yet to be downsized.
Group G (incomplete group)
FU2
DESTINATUS

Depending how the RO16 is seeded, I have chosen who I think are the top 8 teams that will show enough consistency to get through. unorthodox has a strong chance of making quarters, but again a lot will depend on who they are seeding against.
Quarters
mlw
MiBR
MM
The Alchemist
dreamscape
headlinerz
aerial
CLC/acumen

Team attitudes aside, these four/five teams have the collective experience to push through semis, how they wish or choose to apply it will be key. mlw and alchemist are under the most pressure to perform well this season, while dreamscape with their Australian gaming debut, has little to prove. Aerial on the otherhand is relatively new, but have been active and practicing a lot. Not sure if it will be enough to move them on passed the roadblocks of mlw and alchemist - I would say no, not this time.
Semis
mlw
MiBR
dreamscape
The Alchemist/aerial

Clear favorites of the season (few say otherwise), Will have to see how dreamscape performs coming from LAN gaming to overseas servers, it may be enough of a factor for mlw and alchemist to out pick them. Will see though
Finals
mlw
dreamscape/The Alchemist

Agreed with all apart from MiBR, Elevate should beat them, without Carrion they've just lost a huge part of the team but should be able to pull it off.

Also CLC I think will make Semi's, but MLW or Alchemist's to take out the league.
Great preds.

No more odin either... but if they don't get smashed drunk and dick around i think MiBR could do alright.

Elevate AKA? didnt see them in the groups.

Oh, they're tagging as N2L - nothingtolose on Cybergamer but the team merged into the Elevate Organisation. MiBR not dick around? That'd be a miracle ha! But agreed they could do well if they treat it serious.

alchemist in grand final

Nope.

you know groups are been re done correct?

Decent predictions but I honestly can't see acumen getting out of groups with that lineup or mibr

good to pick your team to come second haha

if we cant beat acumen i will cry =/

LOL

Only agree with about half tbh.

^

emphatic will be a hard team to beat if there still competing
unv will be good specially with yaz0 love aidan
alchemist 2 strong for there pool
masterminds easily to strong for theres
unspoken are underdogs if they get rollin
just a few of my opinion

You forget that we beat your team already? and about two others in our group... Where pretty confident of our placing


Looks like another team who has forgotten that we beat them already.
