<blockquote> Big Dogs, Apollo & Backs face off in a pivotal matchup that has massive implications on who makes the playoffs or not... </blockquote><br>
<span class=summary-title>Breakdown </span><br><br><span class=summary>Will ZT get their first win of the season? Or will Backs somehow pull out a miracle and shock the world?

The betting favorite here is clearly Zero Tolerance, Lets take a deeper look...

Leading ZT is usually Big Dog Apollo but I have also heard and seen GUERILLA aka Splittah aka Never wants to duel me because he's afraid to ruin his reputation as a "good" marine, Both are good leaders but I feel like Apollo is a more aggressive leader, Guerilla likes to ambush more and fall back more. Both are good leaders and will be a threat to Backs low IQ in leading.

ZT just lost a very important match this past sunday vs TKO, They allowed NTs which in my opinion they shouldn't have. Rats should never be rewarded (Tactical), And oh look... Torch has left TKO! Didn't Backs say this 4 days ago?... Who will be next to leave TKO?... Clowns, rats.

Although ZT did get screwed over last week by losing 2 coin flips I still believe they could have beat TKO, just some bad random deaths that should have never happened that turned battles around. Missing Guerilla that game was a massive blow to them, but I expect ZT to come back in full force and try and take a shit all over TBS.

Will ZT use King as a support class again? Will they try different tactics?

Will Kevin be more vocal from a leading aspect? He hasn't been very vocal lately and maybe he wants to try and speak up more and see if that changes things around for this team. On paper ZT has great players and they should NOT be 0-3. Will that change this sunday? I'm not sure, Backs always rises to the occasion and clutches up when needed, but ZT may be too strong for TBS to pull this off.

The medic situation on ZT is a very touchy subject, Don't get me wrong, medding is a hard class to play well and respect to all who are able to play it (i know i cant) but something has to change on the Medic side of this squad. Flash in my eyes is the better med on this team, the other medic spot is a toss up, Do they use fresh again? Who in my opinion has not been playing his best, Do they play Havok as med? Who has always shown to be a solid med, DO they use Dave??? who is a great med! OR Does Big Dog Apollo say "I've had enough with this medic play, I am going to show y'all how i med"... I would like to see Apollo med, I think his squad needs him as med.

Sabotage hasn't been playing up to his potential, I think he should be LMGing and playing much better than he has.

I also would like to say I was wrong about Danny, I honestly had no clue Somera was Danny... so im gonna blame that on why I rated Danny so low. When he plays on Somera he isn't that good, when he uses Danny, he plays better. IDK.

Will ZT play aggressive? Will they camp? I have no clue. I think they need to play this match aggressively and see if TBS is strong enough to hold them back.

Side on this map is a big deal, I think the left is much harder, lets see if ZT can yet again get unlucky on the coinflip.

Best Starting 8: (not putting sol, he won't show.)

Apollo (med)
Flash (med)
K (marine)
Guerilla (marine)
Danny (marine)
Brilllaghart (marine)
David (marine)
Sabotage (LMG)

TBS is coming off an impressive performance this sunday against #1 squad Over 9000.

Over 9000 was so overwhelmed by Backs and TBS's play on KR that Sov immediately broke 2 agreements they had, (Sov snipes for 30 mins and both squads use 2 meds)... Sov said, and i quote "We were down, so I got scared and had to do what i had to do to win, GG get better."

Anyways, This match is super important for TBS. Can they pull it off? I think they can, depending on the side they get. If TBS gets left side its over, they're players cannot shoot top down for some reason. If TBS can get right side we may be in for a good matchup.

Leading the way for TBS is Backs aka #2 Player in league currently, only behind the Champion himself, Champion. Backs has played really well this season, he has proven he can somewhat lead and that he's a dangerous LMG and of course a disgusting, filthy, incredible sniper. Does backs have a high enough IQ to come up with a game plan to beat ZT? Only time will tell.

TBS has to not play like bitches this match. They need to get angles and when they have them, they need to push without hesitation. I have seen this squad hesitate so much that it costs them battles that should have been easily won. I expect backs to try ambushes and be aggressive when needed.
I also expect backs to play LMG although this map is decent for a Sniper so I think it will be a game time decision for Backs on what class he wants to play.

TBS has some great medics in KKKWerewolf and Chica (who was benched every game last season by Kev for God knows what reason).... These 2 are the backbone of this squad. No one realizes it but they keep TBS alive when they should have been dead 2 mins ago in battles. So props to these 2 carrying this squad.

TBS lineup is very interesting, literally all of these guys can be starters on this squad. Backs will have a tough time thinking who to start. I will say NightC has been playing well lately along with his cousin and 13 year old player MikeC. Lunar Tick has also been playing great and is a consistent marine for this squad.

Anal aka Oct aka Rocket Boy has been doing great as Demo in Sbs and in the only match he played. I expect him to be ready to shoot rockets right at that Bitch Kevins head and then macro Him. Actually, Oct, if you kill Kevin you have to macro him in the match or I am speccing you, On Gang.

TBS in my opinion will shock the world this sunday. They have a gameplan to attack ZT's weak point and come out with the win.

Final score prediction:

TBS: 52
ZT: 49

Unbias Final Score prediction:

ZT: 67
TBS: 34

Good luck to both squads. ZT has a bunch of my big dogs on it and I wish them nothing but the best. They're my people, but on sunday... for those 30 mins... y'all scum dirt pieces of shit that I would love to run over and macro. Good luck.

Sabo was cleaning house in SBs against everyone they played so I had him got fantasy and got destroyed by him and split not playing last week. His return will make a difference.

Hilarious write up as always.
