<span class=summary-title>Breakdown </span><br><br><span class=summary>This is Fine 0-0

Projected Lineup:

Axidus 3*: Marine/Ripper
Cleveland 2*: Marine
Bowen 3*: Marine
Worth 2*: Marine
Spark 2.5*: Demo/Marine
RRU 2.5*: LMG/Marine
Thiz 2*: Medic
Abyss 2.5*: Medic

Average TG Star Rating: 2.44*

I think TIF has been fairly active so far in the early part of the season and I know they've sb'd but I haven't seen them much myself so not totally sure about lineups yet. Axidus plays a very good ripper but if he's leading he's going to have to stick to marine. RRU can aim but he needs to cut down his deaths if possible. I think Worth and Spark are rising stars and should keep improving every week. This squad is going to heavily rely on Bowen to open up battles as he's their best marine.

Birds 1-0

Projected Lineup:

Thegreatchompy 5*: AT/Marine
Tg 4*: Marine
Tactical 5*: LMG/Marine
Colossal 5*: Marine
Rio 6*: Marine
Aerith 3.5*: Marine
Slob 4.5*: Medic
Fairfax 4.5*: Medic

Average TG Star Rating: 4.69*

Birds comes into this match 1-0 after a closer than expected win vs V2 last week. Rio and slob didn't play so Birds wasn't at full strength but Birds still handled business. Herthbul filled in nicely with 11 kills and Chompy farmed with 18 kills except getting owned by Backs twice.

Prediction:

Week 2 is being played on Y Station, another brand new map for this season. It plays similarly to Morgans where the respawn can be quite fast and can catch you off guard if you over pursue. TIF won coin toss and I assume will pick left side. I expect TIF to set up plenty of ambushes and slow the pace way down like V2 did last week against Birds. Birds likes to spread out and send a solo or 2 to get angles so maybe TIF can push one side if they see that and take advantage of numbers. There are a ton of physics on this map and pushing nonstop is very difficult with many chokes to hold. Birds will have to be careful and clear corners and whatnot to root TIF out of hiding. I expect another closer than people think match but Birds to ultimately come out on top.

This is Fine: 27
Birds: 57
