KG Network (KGN) v.s. Team GKC (GKC) (2:00 PM EST)

KGN escaped with a win in their previous match that involved one of their best slayers in UnK dealing the least damage on the team and now face a GKC squad to determine who breaks the tie to get higher than 6^th in the current standings. Both teams also have a win-rate of 50% which could make this match a close one but KGN has the slight edge with a team overall K/D of 1.01 to GKC’s 0.90.  UnK now has the opportunity for KGN to redeem himself as he has the damage advantage (74.4) versus the opposing sniper in Timothyo who played a major part for his GKC squad in slaying last game which resulted in a loss. Therefore, if Timothyo is taken out the next expected to step up for KGN would have to be fetixe who averages the most damage on the squad at 82.3 and was second in slaying in the loss last game behind Timothyo. In addition, Segalla and vLa solidified themselves as the most efficient slayers at the moment with a 1 K/D for KGN and Segalla averages more damage per round than vLa so the fact that he finished KGN’s last match/win bodes well for KGN’s chances. Also, the fact that KGN was out-clutched by their previous opponent shows that if they’re able to just out-slay KGC even after losing a couple of rounds they won’t lose composure and still may end up pulling out a win.

DETONA (DET) v.s. Black Dragons (BDGN) (5:00 PM EST)

With DET clutching up against their opponent yesterday and taking advantage of first bloods they now have an arguably slightly easier opponent in BDGN that’s ranked 181^st while DET is ranked 138^th. For DET they would have to be most concerned which detr0ittJ doing damage with sniper who had the most kills for his squad in BDGN’s last matchup but came up short of the win and still maintained his K/D above 1 (currently 1.16). However, DET has one of the best snipers in nqz coming off a dominant +27 kill-death differential game so he should be able to handle detr0ittJ especially after maintaining his high K/D which is now 1.48. The fact that NikoM is also getting his groove back to complement nqz (second in K/D on DET behind nqz) and coming off a +20 kill-death differential game can also be a problem for BDGN because outside of detr0ittJ no one has been able to slay to that caliber as of yet. Therefore, the pressure would fall down on r4ul who averages 79.1 damage per round which is right behind detr0ittJ to pick up the slack and if that’s unable to be done this match could get ugly quick for BDGN.

Team INTZ (INTZ) v.s. Bravos (BRAV) (7:00 PM EST)

A rematch now goes underway between these two teams and BRAV came out victorious in the previous matchup 2-0 and now face a streaking INTZ that have been playing better than they started this season. This game would also break the tie for 6^th in the standings and BRAV currently has a slight edge with a win-rate of 69.4% compared to INTZ’s 47.8%. Paiva has become one of INTZ’s more consistent slayers as of late with a +22 kill-death differential during their current winning-streak. However, paiva being the top slayer for his team the last time wasn’t enough as BRAV got their kills more efficiently as a team which always triumphs the opponent in the end. Therefore, other players on INTZ will have to continue to keep their kill-death differential positive while assisting each other and DANVIET has potential to assist paiva after coming off +22 kill-death differential games during the win-streak and averaging the second highest damage on the team at 80.4 behind paiva. On the other hand, BRAV tend to get off to stronger starts which could push momentum in their favor if the same trend occurs this time around. JOTA also led the way in slaying in the previous matchup and happens to be the second most efficient slayer at the moment (1.25 K/D) which bodes well for his chances to perform well, especially with assistance from his teammate Tuurtle in the main sniper role and maintaining the highest K/D on the team at the moment at 1.27. Regardless, INTZ still have a tough task to deal with just like last time and if paiva and DANVIET are unable to contribute the most for their squad the win for INTZ becomes even more tough than it already is and the sad part is not only them two can do it alone so everyone else would have to perform a lot better than the matchup last time or BRAV may stop their chances of getting their revenge.
