Counter-Strike: GotSkills? CEVO Pro S9 Week 5

By: Brent Meeder - Published August 14, 2008 at 3:13 PM EDT - Writer Archive
GotFrag takes a look back at the top players and performances from Week 5 in this edition of GotSkills.
(USA) - The dreaded de_forge was the home for Week 5 as only a few teams could sweep their set. MoB continues to hold the #1 spot in CEVO and doesn't intend to let up at all. Clinging to their heels is X3O and EG is trailing by a slim margin in CPI. X3O will go for their five game winning streak and continue to their quest for #1. 50 Calibre and Mug N Mouse are sitting way out of contention at this point and can pretty much be turned into BYE's after another week or so. Without further ado, GotFrag is here with the weekly rewards, stats, and more in this edition of GotSkills? Week 5.

Top 5 Team Performances of the Week

1. United States MoB - Still showing no remorse with big wins over EG and coL to close out the week. With an easier schedule ahead for them, they look to extend their lead even more.
2. United States X3O - Giving up only 5 rounds, X3O was able to sweep the week with ease over PoV and 50 Calibre. They will have to keep this momentum going if they want to ensure a top placing before playoffs.
3. United States j1n - With their longest streak of the season, j1n looks to add to their three consecutive wins thus far. They are currently tied with PoV for 6th and will need to continue to put up big wins later on if they want to guarantee a spot in playoffs.
4. United States Devastation - Also sweeping their matches, with some help from Forge, Dev began their only two game streak of the season and defeated PoV and MNM with ease. Sitting in 9th place, it will be a long road for them to acheive a spot in the end of the season.
5. United States FD - They started off rough losing to EG but ended up making a comeback in second half to take the win over mainGear to finish it off. Currently they are tied with Complexity for 4th but their slight lead in CPI will only last for so long.

Players of the Week: Ediz "goodfornothing Basol & Derrick "impulsive" Truong - In X3O's attempt to catch up in the standings, these two made sure to show dominance on de_forge and not risk anything against a medoicre team. Both players had +/- +27, averaged over 41 frags, and a 1.12 FPR. Although they didnt get matched up with tougher competition, they sure got some target practice in.

Surprise of the Week: Paragon of Virtue - These guys hit a bit of a bump this week as Forge took a hard hit to them as they got swept by X3O and Devastation. None of the newer teams have put pressure on these guys besides j1n and Frag Dominant. A tough schedule is ahead for them though as they go up against Complexity and EG on Dust2 next week.

Stock Rising: X3O - After they were almost 5 games left unplayed at one point, they are on their way to acheiving first once again. Big wins this week really helped their record improve but will not be enough to catch MoB just yet. They will have some big matches coming up and will need to beat EG and MoB later in the season to really have a shot at obtaining the #1 spot.

Stock Falling: Mug N Mouse - After an opening five game losing streak in the beginning of the season, they are on their way to another five game losing streak as they head into next week against EG. They almost beat Complexity by 3 if thats something to hang on the wall. Unless they win the next 12 games, I don't see them leaving last place anytime soon.
