Paris Legion (PAR) vs. Seattle Surge (SEA) (3:00 PM EST) (-210 SEA)

To kick off the slate two teams that have been on a losing streak will faceoff and SEA have had the worse end with six games lost in a row versus PAR who have lost two. Although SEA have taken their match to the last map yesterday, they were unable to closae out and now get a chance to redeem themselves in a rematch against PAR who defeated them last time 3-2. Unfortunately for SEA, PAR had the search and destroy advantage over them (0-2) which would be tough for SEA if the series goes the distance once again and this being the final gametype to close out series. Accuracy was the only efficient player in this gametype for SEA with a kill-death ratio above 1 while Temp of PAR dominated the flex/assault rifle role with a 1.91 K/D with his submachine gun main teammate John complementing him with a 1.42. On the other hand, SEA have performed best in S&D’s to start the second half of the season (4-1 record compared to PAR’ 2-5) so they may have a chance here. PAR slaying has been poor in the gametype with only the submachine gun main in Jimbo being the only player for PAR with a kill-death ratio over one. The momentum in this series will be important as well and SEA can’t afford for Mack to have very bad performances on any map like yesterday in which he went 8-31. If anyone would carry the load it may be Pred again today who has had a 1.01 K/D across respawn gametypes to carry the load for SEA. This match can go either way though and may go to the wire once again.

Minnesota ROKKR (MIN) vs. Los Angeles Thieves (LAT) (4:30 PM EST) (-168 LAT)

MIN dominated yesterday but will now face a tougher opponent today on the back-to-back in LAT. The last time these teams faced off the search and destroy gametype ended up being the difference maker since the series went all the way to the last map (3-2 MIN). Since the start of the second half, MIN have had a 3-1 record in S&D’s while LAT have had a 3-4 record. This should give MIN some edge now that their respawn gametypes seem to be improving which they need against LAT who have been one of the best respawn teams in the game at one point. As for search and destroy, Envoy has dominated lately for LAT with a 1.43 K/D and since he has the highest engagements on his team, he may cause problems for MIN. However, the addition of Havok should give MIN some aggressiveness to counter despite him being slightly less efficient than his opposing submachine gun main Envoy with a 1.20 K/D. In other words, the battle of the submachine gun mains may end up playing a large part in which team succeeds here. Since LAT has the more efficient two in Envoy/Kenny with a combined 1.06 K/D compared to Havok/Standy (1.05 K/D) they could edge out a victory here, but Envoy has carried more of the load and LAT will need Kenny to step up in this gametype to help his team get over the hump.

Boston Breach (BOS) vs. New York Subliners (NYS) (6:00 PM EST) (-138 NYS)

NYS got a wake-up call in their previous match after winning the Pro-AM Classic and losing 1-3 in the first match of Major 3 qualifiers, but can redeem themselves against a BOS team they defeated earlier this season in a close series 3-2. The fact that NYS have had several roster changes since that match should make them less predictable for BOS which could end up being an edge to an extent. NYS struggled mostly in hardpoints which has been the only gametype they couldn’t beat BOS in but now that they’ve become a lot better in hardpoints BOS could be in some trouble. Although BOS have started the second half of the season playing their best in the hardpoints with a 4-3 record, NYS have had a 9-2 record which could be all that they needed to get more of a lead in the series early. Methodz being the most efficient out of both teams (1.16 K/D) and the main anchor/assault rifle main for BOS will have more pressure on him to perform well for his team especially with Crimsix not too far behind (1.14 K/D). This match has potential to go the distance but with NYS improving in the gametype they struggled in most against BOS last time they may prevail in this rematch.
