WinOut

Sway Gaming vs. Team 34

Without a doubt the pride of Canada, Sway Gaming, has looked strong throughout this whole tournament. With crushing victories throughout the event, Sway has manage to hold a 64 – 18 margin of rounds so far. They have been looking strong as ever and will continue to dominate their matches without letting opposing rounds exceed into the double digits. Team 34 suffered a loss early in the event on inferno 16 – 14 to Paradox only to make a stunning comeback later in the event. With a total margin of 94 – 55, they seem to be able to take wins home but happen keep their matches close. Since 2005, Blake “nolimit” Burton has manage to keep 34 with a rock solid roster that stands consistent. After their 16-14 loss to Paradox they came back with a crushing 16 – 2 victory against paradox to take over the losers bracket for good. One can only assume that their weak point for this event are their maps. 34 seems to lack in take backs and clutches on inferno. Sway Gaming dominated their inferno match and it looks to hold true for finals. You have a match up of two amazing teams, but where one exceeds in skill, another one will lack in map performance. I have hopes for 34 to maintain consistent, but I'm going to have to place my bets on Sway Gaming.

PREDICITION: Sway Gaming [16] > Team 34 [6]

PTW: Blake “nolimit” Burton (Team 34) // Garett “Grt” Bambrough (Sway Gaming)

Phrenetik vs. Zetsumei

A big surprise in the event with the progression of Phrenetik. This team is not as known as others currently competing worldwide but seem to show some promise. For those who have not been following the outstanding performances by Zetsumei, you really need to open your eyes and watch. Zetsumei has been slowly but surely proving themselves over the past seasons going from Open < IM < Main < Invite in 4 seasons straight. Their CEVO M ass kicking in S11 gives me faith to see a new rising star in CEVO P coming soon. The last time Zetsumei and Phrenetik met, Zet came out on top 16 – 6 on nuke. Phrenetik got a good feel of the competition for this tournament after playing their Inferno match and performing every well. Zetsumei had to claim a FFW on their inferno match so I hope they put in the extra practice time to keep holding strong. I have faith in Zetsumei to continue to hold strong after their stellar performance at the x3o Dust-off LAN. After losing to Zet, everyone knows Phrenetik will need to work hard and study harder if they want to find the weak point in Zet's armor.

PREDICITION: Zetsumei [16] > Phrenetik [12]

PTW: Dara “phrozen” Nhep (zetsumei) // Jacob “GeoffGreensly” Ott (phrenetik)
