Playoff predictions

I know Ive been a bit lazy this season but here is a look at the playoff teams.

The season has been crippled by inactivity and very few clans compared to previous seasons, apart from that there has been some really good and close games. The playoffs should prove to be quite interesting. Perhaps aside from the final wich Suddendeath will win 3-0. Anything else would be the upset of all upsets in the history.

Chosen vs Fraggers United

Chosen and Fraggers United will meet in the first quarterfinal, it is already schedueled for Sunday April 6th at 20.00 CET, and this will without a doubt be a good game. Even though they didnt find the time to meet in the group stage these clans have a long history together with intense group and playoff games.

Last season CSN were able to take down FU 3-1 in the division 2 semfinals and move on to win the final 3-0 against Klaphat. Notable changes in CSNs lineup this season is TheEvilDog from Klaphat and the fact that previous seasons star player Ake_Vader has played alot less.

This season has been bad for CSN with losses against Immortals, Majestic, Suddendeath and Suddendeath 2 only winning versus beforehand weaker clans like Paras, Division 99 and Lost Legion. The question is if they can muster enough fighting spirit to take down FU yet again.

On the other hand FU hasnt really been tested as they only played versus lower tier clans except for SD who steamrolled every opponent. With only 4 games and 0 pracs FU should be pretty rusty. FU is fielding the same lineup as previous season with the exception of dmt and a few idlers.

I will go for 3-2 in CSNs favour.

The winner will then proceed to the semifinal where Majestic awaits.


Immortals vs Paras
Even though Immortals won 2-0 in the group game against Paras it was the closest game for Paras out of all their games against the higher tier clans losing with around 20 frags per map. Aside from that they won 2 easy games against Div99 and VM. Paras has been around for a while and during the last seasons they have been able to threaten former "division 2" clans quite well. Last season they ended 6th in division 2 and managed to win a map in their 1-3 loss against Chosen in the quarterfinal. Feari is the guy to keep an eye out for as usual and nothing noteable has changed in their lineup.

Immortals is now a merge between no less than 3 clans as they have taken in Niw from klaphat and Blooddog and Sane from God Blessed. They had a good season so far with the only drawback coming in a 1-2 loss against Majestic aside from the 0-2 loss against Suddendeath. They look strong but just like last season it can all end in just 1 game. After a stunning performance in the group stage, winning every game and only losing 2 maps, they unexpetedly lost 0-3 to 8th seeded clan Lost Legion. They will have to be on their toes against Paras or else history will repeat itself.

Still, Im going to go with 3-1 Immortals here as they are just a better team.

The winner will then proceed to the semifinal where Suddendeath awaits.



Should any of the teams in the quartefinals fail to field a team Suddendeath 2 will be given the chance to take their place.

Games are best of 5 and the deadline is April 6th as previously announced.
