DRTL 5 Official League Thread - Page 74

SunKhan HBT is new, and as far as I know so is Traucerling. Hard to call here without knowing either players skill. Greenelve is more than capable of playing ZvP at D+, but often self destructs to aggresive or nonstandard play. AA has struggled a bit, but is still D+. Another game that could go either way. Stardom v Art ought to be good. Star has an abysmal DRTL record of 0-5, but has come near C- and just took 3rd in DRTL. Art is strongest in TvT however, and just took out a very strong player in Shirashi. Edge to AoT here. Jellokitty is a new player, with no games. ICCup shows D+ stats, and AoT claims he is a ZvP monster, and is helped by playing on Desti. Could be a good ZvP. Qikz is a rapidly improving terran, but Click is (allegedly) a practice monster. I think the edge is to Click, but I'm not too sure where Qikz is at

Birdie beats LiR easy unless he gets disrupted early. His ZvP is among the best in the league. I think Icedraco is favored vs Naxel, but Naxel is rumored to have improved. Holy should have no trouble with Minsc. Minsc has a good record, but had a few soft opponents, and Holy is a force. Despite a near loss to Falling earlier, R2D2 has shown solid play and is probably too much for Noddy. I don't know much about Anaxarat, but a quick ICC search shows C-. Falling will probably be outmatched here

Tonight is clearly the stronger player over Animus. Barring mistakes he wins. Smokeybear has just one loss as does Sent, and has just switched to zerg...which is the big question mark. Sent seems most vulnerable in ZvP, but has smokeybear adapted enough to provide a good fight, especially against the possibility of Sentenals honed aggression? Prophecy speaks for himself, with one of the highest win percentages in DRTL. Rxdg seems C- capable, but clearly propechy is the odds on favorite. Gohan against Axis on paper is the MU of the week. RedAxis looks to hold his undefeated season together, but Gohan has shown some very strong play in his games. The nod goes to RedAxis, but its no lock. Comsat is a near C- player with a good record, but if Ravelyn's P is anywhere near his ZvP then he will mop up without much trouble.

Rohinin seems to be a borderline D/D+ player, and Napoleon is fresh off a 4th place finish in DRIT. Napoleon should take set 1. L1ghtning is also a D/D+ player afaik, but he faces Arb who is one of the stronger players in the league, as long as he isn't going full derp. Arb should win. CityShuffle v Xkcd should be interesting. Xkcd is much stronger now that he has switched to zerg, and from practice with him it looks like his mechanics are beginning to become properly focused. Cityshuffle is solid in ZvZ, and tricky. I'd consider him the favorite, but Xkcd is not completely outmatched. Pebble had a great run in DRIT, and is easily solid D+ now. He should have no trouble winning...but did drop a set to greenelve last week. Venfox is newer player, but is already nearing the point of being able to hold D+. I feel he has the edge over Kopp.
