Hey guys,

March Group: 36 places filled of 200.

Please remember that the March group is currently open for entries and is steadily filling up. So get in quick or contact me to reserve a place if you want one! Trade link is on the front page. Remember it is 1 key or $3 in skins. :) Feel free to contact me for any further questions.

Also, as someone (think it was Squat) said on the front page I am only doing as many as I can until I get out of hospital (basically on the day the March group starts, (although it looks like it might be delayed until Monday, my latest test results weren't that great LOL) so you might have noticed North American games are currently missing. Expect them to be there for March!

Someone last night also brought up the subject of veto's. These are just predictions and nothing concrete. Teans can decide to play different maps any time they like and they are purely speculative, and used to enhance analysis.

Also, Im not sure how or why, but our group has doubled its member count in the space of 2 days, and I thank you all dearly for it!

PENTA vs mousesports, 2 x BO1

PENTA: kRYSTAL, nex, Spidii, dennis, enkayJ (expected)
mousesports: ChrisJ, LEGIJA, gob b, Troubley, j0hnny (expected)

Map 1: Inferno

Prediction: 16-12 to mousesports

Risk: High

Summary: Both teams have undergone roster changes in the last few days. PENTA losing strux1 as IGL, while mouz have lost zonixx. I'm going to look at this from more of a league and map perspective here. mousesports need these two wins to keep chances of an ESEA Playoff berth alive, while PENTA would need, with a game less to be played, need to win both of these and perform remarkably well in order to make it, and with no current IGL I'm not sure whether that is do-able. Both teams have shown good results on inferno of late, however mouz with 2 AWP's and an IGL should triumph over a team, who while impressed with individual aim, are unco-ordinated, and that costs dearly on a map like inferno.

Recommened Bet: I honestly wouldnt touch this with a 10-foot pole. If I had a gun to my head, low on mouz.

Map 2: Nuke

Prediction: Uhh, hmm, 16-10 to mouz

Risk: High

Summary: Again, this is not a game I would want to be betting on, especially on a map like nuke. j0hnny was always a critical part to KPV's success on nuke back when he was part of that team and mouz have recorded a win over Titan this season, but betting on a nuke BO1 is like betting on who wins the knife and I wouldn't want to take that risk. PENTA havent ever really looked great on nuke, with defeats to Property and Gamers2. They did win over NaVi, however winning over NaVi on nuke isn't really an achievement. :P

Recommended Bet: I honestly wouldnt touch this with a 10-foot pole. If I had a gun to my head, low on mouz.

Titan vs Gamers, BO1, de_dust2

Titan: RpK, kennyS, Ex6TenZ, Maniac, apEX
Gamers2: MINISE, innocent, rallen, mouz, SZPERO

Prediction: 16-8 to Titan

Risk: Medium

Summary: If there is one map that Titan always deliver on, it is most definitely dust2. They boast a 76% win rate and have empathatic wins over fnatic, Gamers2 and Property on it this season. Gamers2 have evidently been putting in work on the map, shown by their victories over Orbit and KPV, however Titan should be too strong, and they need the win to solidify their chances of an ESEA playoff berth.

Recommended Bet: Medium on Titan
