Ladle 86 Predictions

Octa Finals:

Sh vs Crazy Tronners Alpha
CTA is ready to kick some derrière. The return of Gonzap to the Zap, Owned, and Wap trinity will unquestionably be an obstacle for any opponent. Sh will put up a good fight with the help of Tak, Theo, and Kult; however, I don’t see them taking a match. In a match that some would call “Over” kill, my prediction is 0-2.

Cubed2 vs Serendopeity
The new clan vs the real Sdp, this match could go either way. Both teams are fairly equal in talent with a few exceptions of more experienced players. These clans are hastily put together and for that reason I think Cubed2 has the edge. I think Syre will be the mvp this match, which will result in Cubed2 narrowly winning against Serendopeity 2-1.

Speeders vs Sparks
Blackcats are looking pretty strong this ladle with a solid lineup. I don’t expect changing a clan name will be the edge Sparks needs to win this matchup. 2-0 Speeders.

Quarter Finals:

Rogue Tronners vs Crazy Tronners Alpha
This will be the match to watch in the Quarterfinals. This match will come down to who isn’t the most rusty. Though the trinity is strong, I don’t think anyone can deny that Rogue tronners are the most active fortress players at this time. Like it or not, constant practice will give you an edge over any inactive player. Though players like Gonzap and Beer are strong, they haven’t had near the same level of activity as most of R. Rogue takes this match 2-1.

Crazy Tronners Beta vs Cubed3
CTB vs the new private open team will be an interesting match; not as interesting at CTA vs R, but interesting nonetheless. This match could go either way; CTB isn’t a weak clan by any standards, even if they’re technically the B team. It really depends if Cubed3 can come together and play as a team. Ppotter, Fofo, Newbie are known pros, but they aren’t active and could possibly make many mistakes. The variable will be if CTB can capitalize on their mistakes. I’m going to give the old pros the benefit of the doubt and say Cubed wins 0-2.

Serendipity vs Cubed2
The team that can actually spell Serendipity will be a tough opponent for Cubed2. Half of Sdp is made up of newer members; which is a clear attempt by Gaz to not go out in flames like last ladle. Sdp has some exceptional sumo talent this ladle and I can expect Cubed2 to be facing non-stop holing. Though Cubed2 has a decent attack squad, their defense is lacking and I don’t expect them to hold up against the assault. Serendipity wins 2-0.

Speeders vs Wild West
Blackcats take this match fairly swiftly. Sorry Wild West, but you were the team to lose 0-100 a few ladles ago and although some of your members have been seen practicing, it’s hardly enough to beat Speeders. 2-0 Speeders.

Semi Finals:

Rogue Tronners vs Cubed3
R vs the newly formed Cubed3 will be a game to decide if team stacking can hold up to clan experience. Though I think Cubed3 will put up a good fight, it’s very likely their inexperience with their teammates, rust from some of their inactive players, and the US server that will ultimately result in their loss. Rogue tronners will take this match 2-1.

Serendipity vs Speeders
This is the match to watch in the Semi Finals, both clans are equally skilled and will both deploy holing tactics. The question is, is Gazelle, Ampz, Box, Nate, Delic, Ogo, and Orion better sumo players than Sp members? Has Mister gotten used to his euro ping?! I think common sense slightly favors Sdp, and for that reason I believe Sdp will take this match 2-1.

Finals:

Rogue Tronners vs Serendipity
Congrats Serendipity for making your first finals, it only took replacing half your original team and being on the right side of the bracket. You definitely earned it! Unlike last ladle, I expect Serendipity to perform well even after Gazelle is dead. Will this be enough to beat Rogue Tronner2? I don’t think so. Rogue wins their second ladle in a row 2-0.

Hey, did you know that ladle is a fortress competition?

[Gazelle]

The new clan vs the real Sdp

Unlike last ladle, I expect Serendipity to perform well even after Gazelle is dead.

Lmfao dead? Don't expect to see much of that this ladle



Anyways nice to see predictions coming back, maybe I'll do one of my own later! Thanks.

look like AoT servers are down atm

[Gazelle]

look like AoT servers are down atm

yeah I don't see any of them

[sinewav]

look like AoT servers are down atm

I pulled the AoT servers from Ladle when mister and Vogue got banned. They are not on the active server list and thus shouldn't have been added to the brackets. Find a replacement.

ok

why?

[sinewav]

why?

Because that episode made me realize I did not have time to be involved with Ladle in the same capacity. Between work, school, girlfriend, etc... I cannot guarantee to be available to update the servers before Ladle, nor can I reliably be available to populate brackets on the Thursday before, nor can I even watch Ladle because I don't even have Arma installed anymore, haven't for months now, and won't install it again until I get a better connection (which would be this time next year at the earliest, provided I actually have time to play). At best I can participate on the forums.

That reminds me, I need to release the code for adventuresoftron.com. I'll put that on the to-do list.

Congratulations Rogue Tronners.

A note on servers: Agility's wasn't up yet we were supposed to play on it. Last Ladle the same thing happened but with another server. In fact, the list of servers that are supposed to be up each Ladle doesn't correspond to the servers that are up at all. I know that we are a small community with limited resources/time/energy/etc but we really need to make sure we improve on this.

As for not filling in the brackets, I'll hold my hands up to that. I assumed that Speeders, who beat us, would fill in the brackets. From now on, win or lose, I'll make sure that I fill in the brackets with the required details of our match(es).

Agility seems up right now.

I removed few unused servers though.
