just saw iQ get rolled in 2 min 51 seconds by OUT!?

'form is temporary, class is permanent'
wonder what they have up their sleeves

geminisaga · Apr 04, 2006, 05:31 AM // 05:31

either evil or ib winner i guess

Squirrelly · Apr 04, 2006, 05:46 AM // 05:46

I hope iGi wins and I heard someone mention that they are 2-2 vs EviL so I guess they're odds are ok. I think it will probably be iB and EviL in the finals and I think they are 1-1 so it should be fun to watch. I'd have to cheer for iB though cuz I'm tired of people treating EviL like gods(not to discredit their obv amazing playing ability).

if rifts continues to use the me/e fc air spike they will take it, ive seen them beat Evil with it twice now. its tought to find a spike that can split easily

Sha Noran · Apr 04, 2006, 06:07 AM // 06:07

Have you guys not been watching [Rift] lately? They crushed EvIL (twice), WM, and Te in one night alone. Rift ftw.

Saying that iQ will win the championship without any contest is pushing it a bit... they're an extremely talented guild but the loss of Paly to Te hurt them badly in my opinion.

That said it is equally silly to doubt Te's chance vs EvIL.

All in all it should be an interesting run. Go Rift!

pigdestroyer · Apr 04, 2006, 06:09 AM // 06:09

WM FTW...

this time they will crush everything in their path

nightrunner · Apr 04, 2006, 06:46 AM // 06:46

I want iQ to win just because they're helpful and active on forums

pipoca · Apr 04, 2006, 08:07 AM // 08:07

Then you should have payed closer attention to when the active ladder seasons would be. This isn't a 'surprise! ladder frozen suckers!' thing.

Agreed. I was broken hearted when I saw SCV didn't make it. 2 Points off!!!!!

Not necessarily what I want, and I'll go through each decision later.

EvIL vs. Char
3 matches either way. First match is vital.
Te vs. RUS
Te runs counters to spike and dominate match 1. RUS switch to a different form of spike in match 2, but still get beaten.
RenO vs. iQ
RenO get match 1. Match 2 is more of a contest, and if it goes to 3 matches, RenO will take it there.
EW vs. vOR
vOR win in 2 matches. EW run their same Build, and can't spike effectively without disable from Hammer, but Chain Aegis and other anti Warriors measures stop this being so effective. Match 2; vOR pull out something unexpected.
iB vs. Wi
Same Builds, iB win in 2 matches due to inexperience of certain Wi players with the Build.
iGi vs. KGYU
Hard call. Both teams have past successes against each other, but I think iGi will win in 3 matches.
WM vs. emt
emt are no contest for WM's dominate tournament play.
Rift vs. OUT
Unsure as to what Rift will run, but I can't see them running Mes/Ele Air spike Game 1. OUT will probably try to fit more counters to play against it, and be overrun by Build choice quickly. Match 2 will see Rift flawless OUT.

EvIL vs. Te
EvIL over Te.
RenO vs. vOR
RenO over vOR due to a dominant pressure Build, making the most of some vOR players' inexperience.
iB vs. iGi
Tough call - iB have a strong split and a solid Build, but iGi could pick up on certain players being the depth and reliance of their team.
WM vs. Rift
Another tough call, could go either way. Probably 3 matches.

EvIL vs. RenO
EvIL win in 3 matches.
iGi vs. WM
WM win in 3 matches.

EvIL vs. WM
With the hatred between both Guilds, once again this'll be a tough affair. I see EvIL winning, the first match, and WM winning on their home map. Both teams will try to counteract each other as much as possible, especially as both know each others strengths and weaknesses quite well. This should be a 3-game thriller, but I see EvIL coming out on top in match 3.

vOR have been running a couple of different builds recently. No doubt trying to vary their play styles for something like this.

Wow, I'm getting flamed for this??? I don't care about getting to the top 100 or whatever I just wanted to get me guild out of rank 5,000 so I can have my guild on the laddar just freaking once. Geeze, my guild wasn't ready during this entire laddar season, we got like 6 gvgs off and now were bloody stuck at this crappy rank, DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD THAT HURTS RECRUITING?!?!?!

Cyril Aspect · Apr 04, 2006, 09:27 PM // 21:27

You do know that there is another season coming very soon after this one right?

Followed by yet another season.

It is pretty easy to go to the guild wars main site and find this out.

EDIT- on topic I'm pulling for IQ

Well, hey once this ladder season is over you can go bump up your rank and get on that ladder!

As for my guess for the winner of the playoffs... As much as I'm pulling for my guild, I'm thinking Evil's got this.

skretth · Apr 04, 2006, 10:02 PM // 22:02

I think it will be whoever has the strongest thrive to get free entry to E3 and play there.
Honestly I would of liked to see EViL vs wM earlier on, rather then having to be in the finals, but my HOPES are with iB
