Round-Up:
Although there are still two matches waiting to be reporting no real upsets took place in the second round.  Well I lied underWorld lost, so I have to find another excuse to post about Kate Beckinsale pictures.  I did take a little pleasure in predicting Salience would mop the floor with The Oscillation Congregation.  Other than that Reason, and Hausen laid the smack down on their competition essentially shutting out their competition, as well as putting up 8k on survivor (finishing every map strongly).

EDIT: Word just in Common Infected beat MoB, sup called that ****.

Predictions: (Will be updated when I find out the results of the pending matches from roudn 2)

Record:
Overall: 50-22
IC2: 28-14

area51 vs SoS Brigade

This will be area51's last walk in the park before the going gets tough.  Expect them to win convincingly

Nexus-Gaming vs paraGon

It is a shame these two teams have to play each other this early, I was really hoping to see how they would fair vs established teams.  Even though only one will make it two the next round, that team will have their shot at the top team in area51.  I'm going to go with my gut here and pick paraGon, it should also provide some good drama for the next round if they face area51.

Tree Log Champions vs RageQuit

RageQuit has been an interesting team thus far, I have no idea how strong they are.  They very well might be a sleeper in this tournament.

EDIT: Apparently TLC lost one of their better members, kaja, so I'm going to go with RageQuit in this one.

Team iNeX vs Serial Killers Unite.

I don't think sKu has a chance in this one.  Being that it is no mercy, the score might stay relatively close, but I expect iNeX to put up at least 7k points on them.

Common Infected vs Professional Street Crossers

pSC is the other team that keeps defying my predictons for them to lose.  I'm going to go with the upset kids here Common Infected to pull off another huge win.  Also I'm told CI has a much better No Mercy than their Blood Harvest, so if they can beat MoB on BH they can probably beat pSC on NM.

HAUSEN vs Salience

HAUSEN is hot hot hot, two 8k+ point totals in a row.  This team is here to play, and although Salience is very strong team, I don't think they are at HAUSEN's level yet.  They won't win as big as they have in the previous matches, but plan on seeing them in the next round.

Trinity vs dv8

So deviate has proved me wrong twice in a row.  Lets see if the 3rd time is a charm for me, Trinity wins this one in a close match.

Reason-Gaming vs Murder Death Kill

So far reason has came to play, like HAUSEN putting up two 8k point totals in a row.  I wouldn't be surprised if they do it again.  Reason in a landslide.


Mmmmm Kate.
