Hephaestus Challenge Tipping Thread
Alistair MacBain:
Ill add my reasons aswell.
Hammer
Mad HAtters are sure the better and more experience team. Not at their toplvl but still ... its muse ;).
Rydrs are one of the strongest teams of the more recent competetive scene. They got their amount of experience from Box socials and Sunday rumbles. They made a decent job in the sky league and they are so aggresive that a team like dpa with kinda low experience will most likely get surprised and wiped.
Thralls are really solid. They got alot of experience. They are really good. They can counter most strategies and a team like clamour with its kinda low amount of experience and their ducklike more passive playstyle will most likely fall into one of those thrall traps and get crushed.

While Taw sure isnt that bad cake fields alot of veterans. Not competetive wise but pub wise. And even if this is a competetive match taw isnt that used to competetive lvl either.
Both teams got their veteran players and quite a few experience. While MM havent played alot in the recent tournament i dont value collaborations to high as they tend to need their time to get used to each other. HRA might surprise us as Holy did in the sky league though.
This is surely one of the harder to guess matches. Both teams are at a similiar lvl. Both teams got quite a few experience in competetive matches and can react to what the enemy can bring.
But i still give it to SIR as i rate them a slither higher and their last confrontation also ended that way.
Cross:
This is surely not the easiest match. OVW misses a part of their team which will cripple them quite abid. Yes OVW got alot of experienced players and great ones aswell but they lack experience in competetive matches. BFS fields quite alot of experienced players and i think they can beat this ovw team. It will be close but they can grab their victory.
Upset of the week:
HRA vs MM
Holy manage to surprise most of us in the sky league when they stomped MM and grabbed first place in their group. SPQR got vets aswell and they might surprise me again.

Hammer:
MH vs Muse 5 - 1
From what I've seen, the Hatters have been working pretty hard lately, so I don't expect they'll have too much of a problem with Muse. They might be able to score a kill or two, but no more than that.
Rydr vs DPA 5 - 0
I'm quite excited to see Lueosi back in play. I don't think the Deadpool gang will be able to put up too much resistance.
GwTh vs Clmr 5 - 1
Clamour's been working hard, but I feel like the Thralls are just too experienced for them to pull it off. Give them a month or two and see where things stand. That being said, it is possible the Thralls will take something experimental or unconventional, which might give the Clamour the edge. I don't see that happening, however.
Anvil:
TAW vs Cake 5 - 3
I think TAW's been working on their game lately, so they should manage to pull it off vs the Cakes.
MM vs HRA 3 - 5
I haven't seen many of the Merry Men on lately, whereas Holy and SPQR are pretty regular fixtures in the game. With Zill back, things might change, but I think that the HRA will emerge victorious here.
SIR vs Sac 5 - 4
If I recall correctly, SIR got the upper hand on SAC during the Sky League group stage. However, I think Tropo has been trying out some new builds and strategies, so that might up their a game a bit. I think this one will be close, but considering their past history I'm going to give the Rhinos on this one.
Cross:
BFS vs OVW 3 - 5
I feel like BFS has been in a bit of a slump lately - they need a bit of a strategic freshening-up to get back in touch with the meta, perhaps reduce reliance on squids and especially mines, which are just too easy to counter competitively if your opponent has his thinking cap on. That being said, I'm not sure what kind of shape OvW is in with their recent restructuring. I do know, however, that OvW has been putting in a good bit of time, whereas I haven't seen the BFS guys on as much. I'll give this one, tentatively, to OvW.
