Week 10 Preview
vs
F.United against Old Generations
Starters: Moon, Cezanne
F.United is already eliminated from the playoffs, but will likely still be giving their all. They are a team that plays for pride, a team full of hopefuls who will certainly do their best to show they can hang with the big boys.
Unfortunately for them, oGs absolutely needs to play their best because a loss knocks them out of the post season and gives Prime a chance in the bracket. Their whole team has been shaky here and there this season, never really coming together to work as a single unit but this week they are forced to and they are lucky to face one of the lesser teams in the league. oGs easily.
vs
Starters: Monster, Clide
Both teams sitting at the top of their group, neither has a chance to fall out of contention with a loss. This seems like one of those situations where neither team will want to reveal anything they don't have to, which means we get to watch weird stuff from players who probably aren't that good. These are my favorite matches so personally I'm excited but I know most people require "high level gameplay" to be satisfied so your experience may differ.
I still think TSL isn't that good, despite what Revival and Killer have been showing, so I give an edge to MVP. In a no-lose situation though who knows. Meh, MVP.
vs
Starters: Lucky, Bomber
In a more tense scenario, FXO Korea (fOu of old) can make it in with a win, but unlike oGs they have to face a wolf-in-goofy-logo by playing StarTale to do it. With Bomber starting for ST it seems like they're not messing around, meaning FXOKorea has their work cut out for them. StarTale should have the stronger lineup but with the quality of games players like TheBest have been showing maybe it is much closer than it first looks. Again, ST has nothing to lose by not performing so they can always choose the route of playing lesser-knowns to give them exposure and valuable booth time before more is on the line.
StarTale seems poised to take it but there are a lot of unknown factors working here, the variance is high in these situations. StarTale more likely.
