this is our year no question

We're going to win IM for sure!

IM Week 2 Match 2 Predictions and Explanations:

chewie live 5 vs Guangdong Tiger 0: it is guangdongs first game in IM but with chewie live being the obvious favourites in the div, we expect a fast 5-0.

Soupcan Hatewatchers 4 vs Green Goblin Gang 2: likely to be a close game, could go either way but favor SH due to scrim records.

yodi family 1 vs aurs and hars 5: could be close but aurs seems to be the stronger team overall, esp on process.

Buffoon Platoon 4 vs Screaming Seagulls 1: Buffoon Platoon is a better team overall but they tend to have a slow and grindy playstyle, I doubt this goes to 5 rounds.

Agartha 5 vs Lesbian Vampyres From Space 0: Agartha was one of the stronger teams in the pre season and while their results in week 1 were disappointing I can't see them losing a round to Lesbian Vampyres, don't count this team out.

Dead Frozen Ice Cream Rabbits 2 vs Back to the Lab Again 5: Difficult to call but BttLA Probably takes it in the end.

Good luck to all teams.

Green Goblin Gang on top

Actual results:
CL 5:0 GuangDong - Game was longer than expected but the result was the same.
SH 5:0 GGG - GGG was suffering from some internal issues which made this game less competitive than it probably should have been.
yodi family 2:1 aurs and hars - In a surprising (at least to me) upset yodi family managed to clinch the win after a brutal 48 minute back and forth.
Buffoon Platoon 5:0 Screaming Seagulls - This match ended up being more one sided than expected, while it did take 32 mins it did end up going to 5 rounds.
Agartha 1:FF Lesbian Vampyres FFd and also no showed their first match this week, is the team dead?
DFR 4:3 BttLAA - This match was definitely hard to call but the cold rabbits manage to squeak out the win after a long and grueling 47 min affair.

Overall result:
Correct selection 4/6
Accurate round count: 1/6

See you next week for more predictions, should have some interesting matchups.

RIP Lesbian Vampyres. I played my amateur season with Nehpets and I am sad to see his team die. Never good to see a team die.

IM Week 3 Predictions and Explanations
Match 1
chewie live 4:1 Soupcan Hatewatchers - cl_ is the team to beat and while SH is the other undefeated team, their coordination still needs some work. Could be an interesting matchup but expect cl to win.

yodi family 4:1 GGG - two inconsistent teams matching up makes for a very hard match to predict. I expect the matchup won't be close but I really don't know who will win, I get yodi family the edge but performance on the day will make or break.

Buffoon Platoon 0:4 aurs and hars - A&H should be the stronger team overall and on koth I really can't see BP being a threat to them.

Agartha 4:0 Dead Frozen Ice Cream Rabbits - These teams really aren't on the same level, should be a fast game.

Back to the Lab Again (Again) 0:4 Screaming Seagulls - Expect Rohi to drop 400 dpm and blow up this matchup.

HARDCORE HEAVEN 0:4 Guangdong Tigers - HH is not a strong team and I expect them to struggle a lot on koth vs the HL team.

Match 2
chewie live 4:0 GGG - cl_ is def a stronger team overall and with GGGs recent struggles I can't see them taking a round.

Soupcan Hatewatchers 4:1 Aurs and Hars - Another potentially interesting matchup but SH should come out on top in my expectations.

yodi family 4:0 Buffoon Platoon - I can't see BP being an effect team on koth with their playstyle, prove me wrong :)

Agartha 4:0 Back to the Lab Again (Again) - Should be another clean sweep for Agartha, they struggled a bit week 1 but I can't see this team losing to the bottom teams.

Dead Frozen Ice Cream Rabbits 4:1 HARDCORE HEAVEN - While both these teams are bottom IM teams, the rabbits have shown themselves to be the best of the bottom teams, might be close but I expect them to continue that trend.

Screaming Seagulls 0:4 Guangdong Tiger - Fighting the HL team on koth with a stronger sniper player will likely cause problems for most teams and with the seagulls lack of experience I think they will struggle in this MU.

Actual Results:
Match 1
chewie live 4:1 Soupcan Hatewatchers - Match went pretty much as expected, some close rounds but def a difference in overall prep and coordination.

yodi family 4:2 Green Goblin Gang - My prediction was off by a round but mostly accurate. Kooldan dropped a cool 51 kills on flank scout to seal the deal in this matchup.

BP 0:4 Aurs and Hars - Prediction ended up being accurate, a few close rounds but the scout DM difference was pretty large, esp for Argus, keep a close eye on this Invite HL scout playing sixes for the first time.

Agartha 4:0 Dead Frozen Ice Cream Rabbits - Another accurate prediction, the rabbits are likely to struggle vs most of the mid and top teams this season in my eyes.

Back to the Lab Again 0:4 Screaming Seagulls - Rohi managed to exceed even my expectations dropping a crazy 494 dpm, shout out to the opposing demo ATT- for also managing to hit 400+

Hardcore Heaven 1:4 Guangdong Tigers - I expected the HL team to succeed in koth and for this match at least they did, with their sniper player train hitting 36 kills and 431 dpm on sniper. Every round ended up being super close as these teams competed to have the most fun, but in the end my prediction was a round off as Guangdong won 5-1.

Match 2
chewie live 4:0 Green Goblin Gang - this match was not very close honestly, shoutout to hallu for the 34 kills to only 7 deaths as flank scout.

soupcan hatewatchers 3:4 aurs and hars - My first big incorrect prediction this week, maybe due to personal bias? (I am on soupcan hatewatchers) SH really struggled to play together as a team and losing every mid fight ended up leading to a close but deserved loss.

yodi family 2:4 Buffoon Platoon - My second incorrect prediction as Buffoon Platoon really showed up to play while yodi family seemed to struggle on product more than other maps. Shoutout to tandem for falling just 1 kill short of the 50 bomb in this crazy close matchup. (Round 3 went 9 minutes???)

Agartha 4:1 Back to the Lab Again - This game ended up being closer than I expected it to be, but the combination of their 40 kill fulltime sniper guncrime and 45 kill solo scout user ended up pulling through.

Dead Frozen Ice Cream Rabbits 4:3 - Another matchup that ended up being much closer than I expected but after a crazy back and forth match the team I predicted did still come out on top. Shout of to loot for monopolizing all the tf2 gameplay and hitting both 40+ kills and 40+ deaths in the same match.

Screaming Seagulls 4:3 Guangdong Tigers - Despite their heavy managing do drop almost 50 kills, Guangdong might have gotten too silly with it as they fall in my third incorrect prediction of the week. Shoutout to Rohi for managing to hit a very silly 501 DPM.

Totals:
Correct Selection: 9/12
Accurate Round Count 5/12

Some of these matches are more competitive than I initially would have expected, good luck to all teams in next week, hope we get to see some more fun tf2.
