Vicious

Like the pun? Vicious predictions, as though they are harsh? Also my name being Vicious? Oh I crack myself up. Anyways, here's Preseason week 1:
AE [0-0] (L) vs. eO [0-0] (W)
I'm gonna put this one close, though I think that AE's offense could be the deciding factor, I'm still gonna give it to eO by no more than 5 caps total.
sYn [1-0] (W) vs SNAFU [0-1] (L)
This one's already said and done. sYn picked up the first win in the UGC on 3/1/08. On behalf of everyone on sYn, GG SNAFU
fx [0-0] (W) vs shit [0-0] (L)
I've heard shit is the new team to watch, but fx has been the team to watch for quite some time now. Sorry shit, you're gonna have to prove me wrong. fx by 10 caps total.
goodfellas [0-0] (L) vs kbn [0-0] (W)
This one seems to be the one that everyone wants to see, and goodfellas with their ungodly large 160 slot hltv, have delivered. The rumor going around though is that KBN disbanded. Is this some sort of marketing ploy to get more people into it? I hope so. Despite goodfellas previous unbeaten record, I'm gonna have to say they might be a little rusty and Ghostbuster runs a talented and well-practiced team. Call me crazy, but if this match goes down I call it close, with KBN coming out victorious by no more than 5 caps total.
TDA [0-0] (W) vs. . o ` [0-0] (L)
I'm gonna have to ride the TDA bandwagon with this one, as (sadly) I know neither team. Both are TFC imports (or so I'm told) and it should be good for them to get a feel of FF. I call it somewhat close, maybe 6 caps seperating them. Hell, it could go to sudden death overtime for all I know.
REGULAR SEASON FINALS:
If you didn't know, there's a 12 week regular season following the 3 week preseason. This is (roughly) how I think it'll play out:
1.) fx [10-2]
This is a veteran team that's well practiced together and I think they'll jump out of the gate early and never lose steam.
2.) KBN [9-3]
If KBN stays together, they're not an easy team to beat. Also a well practiced group.
3.) Goodfellas [8-4]
Yeah. I know. Goodfellas are supposed to be the best, right? Well I think the time they've spent away will haunt them early in the season, but they'll greatly pick up steam after the first couple of weeks. Look for them as my *potential* playoff winner when that time of the year comes around.
4.) sYn [8-4]
The Dragon Syndicate is HIGHLY underrated (says one of their founders) and understandably so. Errors have been made in scrims that they played and there have been some reported scuffles from inside the organization. I still hold them a force to be reckoned with and place them in the top 5.
5.) TDA [7-5]
An import clan that will surely figure out all the tricks of the trade quickly, but I think scheduling issues will ultimately screw them. I see them playing goodfellas or fx after every win they pick up and this'll be a funky year for them. Once again, watch them for my postseason picks.
6.) SNAFU [6-6]
SNAFU will be a cusp team for the playoffs. Another import from TFC, I think they'll also need an adjustment window for the first 1/4 of the season. After that I see a turn around.
7.) shit [6-6]
I'm told this is a team to watch. I'm also told they barely have the minimum requirements for a roster. I think this will plague them for the first half of the season and they will eventually move up into playoff contention.
8.) AE [4-8]
This is the one that could prove me wrong (in my mind). From everything I've heard they're shakey but from all the players I know I can't tell why.
9.) eO [4-8]
eO may have formed a little late in the game. Though they do have some high quality players, I don't know if they have enough practice behind them to start off on a good foot.
10.) .o` [unknown]
No offense, I know absolutely nothing about you, which may be good for your cause. I've heard you're an import but that's about it.
That's how I look at it from preseason week 1!
