North America - Round two on granary looks like another lob-sided affair as the top-tier teams get another week to pound their inferiors. The Doctors, 20ID, the Experiment, and High Self Esteem all come into 3-2 with perfect records after successfully avoiding playing each other in the first 5 matches, while aG., mNm, REK and lp avoid the slaughter with the obligatory BYEs/FFs.

Predictions:

Pure Gaming v the Experiment
The two teams Pure Gaming is ahead of in the standings haven't existed for a couple weeks now.. how do you think this is gonna end up? Pure should forget about the scoring system that Valve and CEVO run on and think more in terms of time. If they survive longer then 5 minutes, and one of their players actually gets into double digits, consider it a victory.
Pure Gaming [0:4] the Experiment

the Doctors v Relentless Assault
RA managed to pull themselves together and actually put up a fight in the second half against HSE, but the Doctors are a much tougher opponent. Best if RA lays down and takes their beating like an obediant child and instead focus on... the beating they'll take next week from the Experiment? Yeesh, good luck RA.
the Doctors [4:0] Relentless Assault

20ID v Saget in Tights
Next on the list to be shelacked by their betters is SIT, who are still probably steaming over that close OT loss to REK in week 2-2. Well, as I always say, there's nothing like a good ol' ass kicking to raise one's spirits, eh? Err.. umm.. well, that is, if you're not the one on the receiving end. Oh well, we all gotta bend over and take it in the tights sometimes - but I think 20ID will feel the pressure of still not giving up a single point this season and let SIT slip just one out.. but only if SIT`Boodah plays.

High Self-Esteem v makeSHIFT Gaming - MOTW
Lacking anything else even remotely resembling a competitive matchup this round, I'll give this tout the MOTW honours. I haven't quite decided where makeSHIFT slots into the CEVO TF2 hierarchy, but they're certainly in the mix between RA and HSE. I think this match will make or break HSE's chances to join that top-tier group of dr., ex., and 20ID, and I don't see them giving up that chance - but this one might be close.
