<blockquote> Match of the Week </blockquote><br>
<span class=summary-title>Breakdown </span><br><br><span class=summary>This week we have the two powers of USL squaring off to determine who will be the top seed for playoffs. While Sonichu got the better of Infamous in the rematch in Week 2, Infamous did win the initial match. What you should know, is this match will face the two top squads and they are very evenly matched.
So why is this match so important? As stated above it will have playoff implications. Infamous can still lock down the number one seed but will need to win, and win convincingly this week over Sonichu. That being said, this is Infamous' last big hurdle until the cruise in to the weaker portion of their schedule prior to playoffs.
On the other hand you have Sonichu trying to secure the top seed and all but lock it up this week. After this week Sonichu will still have a date with Leftovers the last week of the season which will provide their likely only other potential stumbling block. Leftovers played Sonichu strong in week 5, and nearly pulled the upset. So that being said, this week is vital to Sonichu locking up the number one seed as a two game lead will not be overcame and they will cruise to the top spot for playoffs.
To the match:
This game is going to be a very heated one in my opinion. You have two squads whose distaste for one another is very obvious. Sov and manu have a hatred for one another compared only to that of Darth and Hiro's hatred of Backs. Manu will be looking to make up for the disappointing rematch, and shake his fist at the league admins who made the rematch a possibility. Shasta has vowed to show out but will that version of Shasta show up?
What you have is two very evenly matched squads. If both were extremely active I'd give the stronger lineup to Infamous actually, and while they may have more "pure talent" the lack of activity can hurt them and in my opinion make this match actually even.
I foresee a match that will be pretty boring to watch aside from all the in game chatter between the two squads. This game will be slow in terms of actual movements and engagements. Both squads will play fairly conservative trying to create the advantage.
For Sonichu:
Sonichu is going to need to block out all the chatter and not get caught in the moment. They know they have a circle on their backs, and they know they are going to get the best shot that Infamous can throw at them. That said they need to remain calm and not let a single battle turn into a string of bad battles.
Best Lineup (Assuming 8v8)
noskeeper - Marine
Champion - Marine
Demon - Marine
Manifest Destiny - LMG
Sov - Marine
Kevin - Marine
kaga - Medic
Fax - Medic
For Infamous:
They are going to need to show up. They have nothing to lose in terms of seeding and everything to gain. They are out for vengeance and redeeming the rematch loss in week 2. They need to not let that emotion get the better of them though and just play and play loose. Infamous is probably the only squad in the league that can go toe to toe and out muscle Sonichu, but to do that they are going to need to be focused and all on the same page. In my opinion it will come down to the med play of Infamous, if the meds show up to play Sonichu could be in for a long game.
Lineup (8v8):
CC - Medic
manu - Medic
Shasta - Marine
Leak - Marine
ER - Marine
God - Marine
em4awon - Marine
Hero - Marine
Conclusion:
This match has a lot at stake for both squads. Both squads are incredibly deep in terms of their rosters being quite interchangeable. Both rosters are loaded with good Marines and good Medics. I feel that Infamous wants this win more than Sonichu. The question will be if they will let their emotions get in the way of making smart plays. Sonichu is going to want to set the pace, but as I said earlier Infamous is going to be the one squad that can set the pace on Sonichu and impose its will if it decides to play that way. This match will be one to watch if nothing more than to see the bad blood festering since week 2 spew out in the match. In the end though.....
I think Infamous gets the W. I feel Shasta, manu and co. are more motivated and looking to exert their will on Sonichu.
Infamous over Sonichu 42-31
Key players to watch: Infamous - CC ; Sonichu - Demon .
Good luck to both squads! Should be a good one!
