<span class=summary-title>Breakdown </span><br><br><span class=summary>This is a big time match with some heavy playoff implications. Barring some potential upsets in the coming weeks, this may very well solidify the 3rd and 4th seeds, pitting NWA vs the 4th seed and idc vs the 3rd. While both of these matches feel unwinnable either way, I've seen HC beat idc in skirmishes with perfect play.
Thugs Cry Too (2-1):
TCT got railed last week, but don't let that be a testament to the skill level of this squad. The squad is full of guys who are Sunday only players and before last week's match, most of them had not played a single game on the full Kaiser's Pass map. It showed with their inability to get position on a NWA squad who had seen it every day. Plus, let's face it, NWA is the powerhouse right now. There are threats in the league, but they are the squad to beat. However, this week TCT will be playing on KR, which is a map everyone knows incredibly well.
Previous Matches:
vs. USL Hotline: W 73-16
@ Pumping Iron: W 59-28
@ No Weebs Allowed: L 86-13
Overall Match Summary: They haven't had a chance to show what they can do much. Limited practice and 1 top 4 match-up makes these guys difficult to call. I know they're good, but HC is the first match for them to show us how good.
Projected Line-up (if they all show):
Black (ripper/marine)
Beso
Sabotage
Torch
typhoon
Mizzouse
Mercy (Med)
Negativezero (Med)
Not a lot of options for subs here as I don't know that any other players have really shown all season. New recruit Hiro could give them an option though as long as he keeps his lag in order.
HEDCHOTTAS (2-2)
Nothing in this review includes myself. I can join a game and go 18-2 or 4-10, just depends on which part of my brain is firing some days.
These guys are running about where they should be with the group they have, and when Backs isn't sniping (sorry Backs) they are a legitimate force to watch out for against every squad in the league. They practice almost nightly and some key additions just before roster-lock have stepped up their game heavily since the season began. They've actually been so active it's difficult to pick a top 8 to play in game.
Previous Matches:
@ No Weebs Allowed: L 59-25
vs. USL Hotline: W 104-33
@ Mean Girls: W 68-48
vs. idc: L 73-44
Overall Match Summary: There's good news here, and there's bad news. Coming within 50 kills of idc and NWA can almost be considered an accomplishment, although I know the guys on HC don't feel that way. Towards the 10-15 minute mark of the match with idc, HC picked up the aggression and started rolling quite a few battles, but idc kept getting enough kills to keep the lead going. On top of still taking battles it was just too much to come back from. That's the good news from this history. The negative comes from the match with Mean Girls. The 20 point spread doesn't actually reflect what that game was. HC ALMOST let MG take the lead on this. They had gotten up by quite a bit and let their guard down. If not for some refocusing, they very well could have lost this match.
Projected Lineup:
GUERILLA
kaga
Kevin
Pandy
Sniper
killer
Jane (med)
Vince Carter (med)
Subs: Bowen, dp, gary, Fuck, Joe. The addition of split, VC, killer, and Dr. Pandy shook up this line-up. The stats for the players don't lie, even being on the "bench" here a player like gary is running 22-10 in 3 games, but the entire league knows what kind of damage split, killer, and Pandy can do. I've seen entire 4 man teams back off from these guys because even when you take them, they will probably take one with them. VC added another insane full time med and Pant has been killing it this season, but Jane is a medical Goddess that just can't be replaced.
Game summary:
The activity of HC is going to be a key factor here. This entire squad plays quite a bit and it has shown in their practices, where they are starting to give the top 2 squads something to look out for. At the very least, they don't let themselves get bullied around too much when they are taking it completely serious. The talent on TCT is undeniable, but they just haven't had the time in together to really gain some cohesion on a front that includes an 8 man starting lineup. With that though, I do still expect this game to be tight.
Projected Score: HEDCHOTTAS 46 - Thugs Cry Too 32
