Apologies about missing last week, life happened. This article will make up for some lost time and review week 5 and 6, as well as predict week 7 which is Steel.
Week 5 Review
Oprah Winfrey Network vs Cafeteria MilkPrediction: 4-2 Oprah Winfrey Network
Outcome: 4-1 Oprah Winfrey Network
Logs:
First Half Second Half Full MatchAn overall close game, closer than the 4-1 score line shows. Oprah Winfrey Network out fragged Cafeteria Milk by 15, but Cafeteria Milk was able to out damage Oprah Winfrey Network by about 1700. Both teams had their dominant round and the rest of the rounds were close.
Joey Lemons was able to top frag for his team and top damage in the server, create a lot of space. Unfortunately for
page, who had a great performance top fragging in the server and almost top damaging, their team was unable to follow up on their frags.
MVP:
Joey Lemons
As foretold by Rayman5000 vs Loud NoisesPrediction: GL;HF
Outcome: 4-1 As foretold by Rayman5000
Logs:
First Half Second Half Full MatchAll in all, a very standard product match.
Funky absolutely crushed the damage getting 5000 damage more than the next highest, non-spy class. In addition, the team’s namesake
Rayman5000, died less than 10 times allowing him to be a constant threat on the map.
Reigh was able to top frag in the server, but it was not enough for their team to take more than 1 round.
MVP:
Funky
Swift Inc. vs Burnt ToastPrediction: 4-1 Swift Inc.
Outcome : 4-0 Swift Inc.
Logs:
First Half Second Half Full MatchUnfortunately for Burnt Toast, they were just completely outclassed in this matchup.
nucket and
spaghetti both had great games with 33 and 31 frags respectively.
Aeon also had a good game, scoring 30 kills but there is only so much a heavy can do on Product.
MVP:
nucket
ANTHRAX vs No.3 PencilsPrediction: 3-4 No.3 Pencils
(MOTW)Outcome: 3-4 No.3 Pencils
Logs:
First Half Second Half Full MatchA very close game between 2 similarly skilled teams. Both
milk and
Jazz had incredible games and top fragged both in the server and for their team’s. Looking at the logs, all the classes were more or less equal. This game really could have gone either way. It will be interesting to see how both these teams move into the post season.
MVP:
milk
Plan B vs We 4fitPrediction: 4-2 Plan B
Outcome: 4-0 Plan B (FFW)
Logs: NA
We 4fit died this week and gave Plan B a FFW. Props to We 4fit for lasting this long.

Week 6 Review
Oprah Winfrey Network vs Swift IncOutcome: 2-0 Oprah Winfrey Network
Logs:
First Half Second Half Full MatchOprah Winfrey Network had a great game against Swift Inc, being able to hold them for 19 minutes in the first round.
MAF was able to get a lot of key picks on Swift Inc’s combo, even while losing the SvS to
nucket. Poor
VAVLIE was able to top frag for Swift Inc and even top damage in the server, but his team were unable to follow up on all the work he was putting in.
MVP:
MAF
As Foretold by Rayman5000 vs No.3 PencilsOutcome: 2-0 As Foretold by Rayman5000
Logs:
First Half Second Half Full MatchThis 2-0 game was closer than the scoreline shows.
gobitoe and
Sebbers were tied for top frags on their team, while providing the rest of the combo space to push forward. On the No.3 Pencil’s side, the addition of
DOOMBRINGER proved highly effective with bombs dropping
tj twice. In addition to soldier bombs,
milk provided very solid kills all around, top fragging in the server with 37.
MVP:
Sebbers
Cafeteria Milk vs ANTHRAXOutcome: 2-0 Cafeteria Milk
Logs:
First Half Second Half Full Match (Apologies about the logs, not sure why there are extra players listed in them)
Trying to make sense of these logs show that Cafeteria Milk won handily. This was spearheaded by the superb game

Theoretical Spy also had a good game, with 38 kills.

Week 7 Predictions
Oprah Winfrey Network vs Plan BPrediction: 2-1 Oprah Winfrey Network
Steel is a map that heavily favors demo,
Joey Lemons for Oprah Winfrey Network has been performing very strongly all season. Plan B recently picked up
TeetsMcghee, who is a very strong demo and main caller. I expect
TeetsMcghee to be able to pull his team through to win 1 round, but I don’t see them winning the match.
Players to Watch:
Joey Lemons,
TeetsMcghee
As Foretold by Rayman5000 vs Swift Inc.Prediction: GL;HF
