Welcome to the Start of
QuakeNight’s Season2 TDM 2v2 League. I was urged to start a prediction thread to get spectators more involved every week and aware of the competing teams. So with that said, we have…
tD allmEntal's predictions for S2 TDM 2v2:
Intro: Sup quakers -- I thought since I'm not competing in season 2 of TDM I would take a few minutes to write up some predictions. While Whaz, Nauti, and I won season 1 out west I don't claim to know every player or team competing...but hopefully my prediction record won't be total garbage :>
Initial reactions: Teams are broken up in to Pro and Pro-2B this time around. Seems like a reasonable thing to do, and it looks like we should have some really good match-ups with that break-down, but, oddly enough, these look very much like East (Pro) and West (Pro-2B)...
Without delving in to the east coast bias thing I'll just say that other than the labels for these divisions I can agree with the groupings.
Notably missing: Season 1 winners from both the west and the east (tD and carn/relic) are missing. Hopefully, they were replaced with teams that are more motivated for TDM currently. Also missing is team ss-TX (airrick and sirdark).
Favorites on paper:
Pro: I would be surprised if the winner of Pro wasn't either the EG/Q2 squad of Dahang and Scooby or the always-dangerous-online DFM team of kgb, pyro, and flysher.
Pro-2B: Should be a lot of close games but the clear favorites in my mind would be the 2nd place west team from last season -- K9.
DS vs OEM:
DS 2-1
Could be very close and I may be wrong here, but I'm going to go with the veteran TDM team, Darkside.
PBR vs K9
k9 2-0
Canine is strong even even without meta on the roster, and I would expect them to take this one convincingly.
bG vs NOTE
bG 2-0
Sparks and BLT should have enough overall aim, timing, and experience to take this one.
Q2 vs DDR
Q2 2-1
This could be one of the more interesting matches of week1 as we will see how well the Q2 guys work together and what kind of BS frank the tank (cfebns) can pull out.
cOK vs Paramedics
cOK 2-0
ClampOK should be able to carry for a win in week 1.
DFM vs IAM
DFM 2-0
This one could be one of the more devastating scorelines of week 1.
Martyrs vs LMF
LMF 2-1
Klaovhwn and his rail should be the guy to watch for this match-up, although I don't know who his teammate 'frenzy49' is. This could go either way as Martyrs are solid.
Fith vs mLine
Fith 2-1
Another one that could go either way...I'll go with the old-school west team, Fith.
To Introduce the 2v2 Teams....with fashion Q2 (Dahang, Scooby) in PRO division Darkside (Syn, Reflux) in Pro-2B division are looking to be top competitor's in there Bracket.
K9 (surp, missy, exodus) in PRO2B and Blight Gaming (bLt, sparks) and cOK (clampOK, gillz) have an extremly huge shot at taking this with some outstanding player's to back them up. All these teams seem to be the top 2 of their division with true talent to make it to the top there experience will be the make or break too win. However, let’s look at the upcoming match's this week. With all the talent we have in the PRO division, some predictions will be hard to make and highly dependent on the time spent practicing so we will see what these team's have to bring us. My predictions are...
DS vs OEM:
DS > OEM 2-0
PBR vs K9
K9 > pbr 2-0
bG vs NOTE
BG > NOTE 2-1
Q2 vs DDR
Q2>DDR 2-1
cOK vs Paramedics
cOK > Paramedics 2-0
DFM vs IAM
DFM > IAM GL to both
Martyrs vs LMF
LMF > Martyrs 2-1
Fith vs mLine
mLine > Fith 2-1
What do you think?
