This is week 4 of 11, the week where the leaders will start to accelerate and the clump in the middle of the pack within the 4-7 point range will begin.
I think the most interesting game this week will be QED Krrn and Co v Fusion Slugs. While fusion slugs are coming off a disasterous week last week, it must be noted they went 3-3 with Fade in week 1. We also know that Fade went 3-3 with QED Krrn & Co in week 2, so if the Fade team is the benchmark, Fusion slugs is definitely in with a chance against a team that many are picking to finish top 4 if not higher. And despite the scoreline last week vs Zerocraft, by all accounts all of the games were very close and evenly matched. I wouldnt count the Fusion SLugs out from winning this, and it would be a massive upset. The betting at the time of writing has 20 votes to QED Krrn, and 0 to Fusion slugs. I think these guys are really undervalued, espeically given they have both played the same team and had similar performances. even a draw against QED would be a good performance, showing the strength of the team
The betting clearly indicates what people think will be a close match this week. Perth Penguins and FaDe. The betting is split down the middle, and their position on the ladder is also pretty close. As for form coming into the competition, Fade has draws against QED Krrn and Co, Fusion Slugs and VB Sober soldiers. Wheras the Perth brotherhood has wins against Tor and HoH, and a tight 4-2 loss to QED Mixed Lollies. All in all, i like the Perth Penguins form coming in, and think they will out perform Fade in this one. I might be wrong though, 3 draws for fade means they have to start getting the big points soon, or be stuck in the middle of the pack permanently. However, i feel the edge still goes to the Perth Penguins, and that this match is theirs to lose.
Poor old TCP Marinu Dropu - they should be higher on the table than they are, and this week have probably the best team in the competition to go against. unfortunately i dont think that many teams will beat QED mixed sweets this season, and that TCP's scalp will be added to the QED backpack.
