Kimberlite Council > Death Marked Soldiers 4-1

I’m sorry that I lied and promised exciting matches this Thursday, but sometimes life just doesn’t turn out like you expect it to. Anyway, here we have KLITE vs DMS, which should serve as a nice pick-me-up for KLITE after a disheartening loss to Ginyu on Monday. Unfortunately for DMS they have yet to find a replacement main medic after Sdogg2m got put on reserve. So I’m not sure who’s going to fill in, but not having a solid medic for Viaduct is an almost fatal blow. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the length and grind of the season that’s causing players to quit early and teams to start forfeiting. In any case, KLITE should be gearing up for their big showdown against CR next Monday on Gullywash.

Ghetto Afterthought > Blunderful 4-1

This match might have more potential to be a close game than KLITE vs DMS, but from what I’ve seen BFL has become yet another victim of post-season exhaustion. I would like to see them give GA one last passionate dive into the fray, but as any avid followers of my predictions will know, things rarely turn out how I would wish them to. I guess I should take this time to note that Blaze is tentatively replacing SneakyPolarBear on soldier for GA, but because of his work schedule won’t be able to make all the matches. Basically, depending on which matches he makes or doesn’t make, he will have a major impact on how far GA will get in the lower bracket. I do know however that he will most likely be there for this match so good luck to BFL in containing Blaze on Viaduct. Noko is going to have to go absolutely huuuuge.

Unfortunately that’s all the matches for this Thursday. Gangsta Gang and Playing Naked are forfeiting their matches so Quality Control and Chain Reaction should get a nice head start on scrimming Gullywash for next Monday. For anyone else who is confused like me about what matches are being played on what days go take a look at the platinum brackets here.
