Lasky’s Prediction: 4-1 We Overslept...
Outcome: 4-3 We Overslept...
Logs:
First Half Second Half Third HalfLasky’s review: Unfortunately, it seems as though the full match logs were too big for logs.tf. This game was much closer than anticipated. Both teams fought hard for this one, with standout performances coming from several different players.
Cmdr. Cameron absolutely farmed this game, with a total of 59 frags.
Mr. Z also did quite well, locking down flank with an average of 338 dpm. However, the real standout here is
Lad Duck, who absolutely dominated when it counted the most. In the tiebreaker, He dropped a 4.0 k/d and 450 dpm, securing his team the win.
Lasky’s MVP:
Lad Duck

Utopia Turned Dystopian vs Five DaysWill’s Prediction: 1-4 Five Days
Lasky’s Prediction: 3-4 Five Days
Outcome: 2-4 Five Days
Logs:
Full MatchLasky’s review: About what was expected, Utopia Turned Dystopian’s usual koth woes bit them again.
Bon Qui Qui absolutely dominated, topfragging the server with 38 kills total. Otherwise, every individual on Five Days was just slightly better than their opposite number. The exception to this is
ally, who second fragged at 35. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to bring it home.
Lasky’s MVP:
Bon Qui Qui
EVHS Cheerleaders vs AureusWill’s Prediction: 4-1 EVHS Cheerleaders
Lasky’s Prediction: 4-0 EVHS Cheerleaders
Outcome: 3-4 Aureus
Logs:
First Half Second Half Third Half Full MatchLasky’s review: Probably the biggest upset of the week, it’s undeniable that Aureus came to play.
DeanTheTurtle and
Bagel had great synergy this game, with 96 kills between the two of them.
Hellkatt tried her best to pull this back, topfragging the server with 67 kills, but it wasn’t enough.

Week 5 Predictions
The Outback Fraghouse vs The Peach Creek BoysLasky’s Prediction: 2-0 The Outback Fraghouse
Lasky’s preview: The Outback Fraghouse has been on an absolute tear recently, and I don’t see them stopping anytime soon. With Vigil being such a combo focused map, I expect big play out of
Mothership and
Toucan Slam.
Mr. Z is also a force to be reckoned with,so we’ll see how they contend with each other.
Lasky’s Players to Watch:
Toucan Slam,
Mr. Z
We Overslept.. vs No.3 PencilsLasky’s Prediction: 2-1 No.3 Pencils
MOTWLasky’s preview: This game is going to be one to watch. With both teams having strong combos, it’ll be interesting to see how they match up. Both combos seem about even, with advantage pointing towards
katryna for demo, and
Cmdr Cameron on heavy. What will push this over the edge is
spaghetti. The experience and ability he brings to flank is something to contend with, and it’ll be interesting to see how We Overslept… handles it. Overall, this one could go either way, and it’s an easy pick to Match of the Week.
Lasky’s Players to Watch:

spaghetti
Train Station vs Indian PaniniLasky’s Prediction: 2-0 Train Station
Lasky’s preview: With Train Station coming hot off the heels of a win on Lakeside, it’ll be interesting to see how they carry that momentum into Vigil. The combo matchup is heavily weighted in Train Station’s favor, with both
c0ry and
Jinzo performing exceptionally in scrims to this point. Unfortunately for Indian Panini, Vigil is a bad map for their standout players,
mel0n and
shim. Ultimately, I don’t see Indian Panini having much of a chance here.
Lasky’s Players to Watch:
c0ry,
shim
Five Days vs AureusLasky’s Prediction: 2-0 Aureus
Lasky’s preview: After some exceptional combo performances from
DeanTheTurtle and
bagel, it can be expected that Aureus wins this one.
Soala could do well in this one, but ultimately I don’t see it making much of a difference.
Lasky’s Players to Watch:

dog vs EVHS CheerleadersLasky’s Prediction: 2-0 dog
Lasky’s preview: With the return of
snoodles, dog has some stability back.
page and
Rikuus have been working together well in scrims, and
Vizard has had a field day on this map. Unfortunately for EVHS Cheerleaders, they have a big problem in that their standout classes simply don’t perform well on this map.
Hellkatt will likely put up a very strong performance compared to her opposite number, but I don’t think it’ll be enough for EVHS Cheerleaders to win the map.
Lasky’s Players to Watch:
Vizard,
Hellkatt
Utopia Turned Dystopian vs Bye TeamLasky’s Prediction: 2-0 Utopia Turned Dystopian
Lasky’s preview: Simply put, Bye Team shot themselves in the foot by picking up
WiLLmaTiC yesterday. It’s a true shame too,
Caleb is going to have a field day with him. #PrayForWiLLmaTiC
Lasky’s Players to Watch: WiLLmaTiC, the man of great fear.
