Because I thought it'd be fun, I decided to do some "celebrity" preds for IM because there are only like four matches. These are the first two, more to come later.

Cisco Adler’s Balls is at it again, but this time with mangachu out of the picture. I don’t see a reason why this team won’t win IM. They have two of the best players that have ever graced the game ForceB and Kapoww “LilB” Nguyen. Forceboink, the best soldier on youtube, has appeased the casual TF2 crowd with his hijinks of high level TF2 play on his channel and personally told me is bringing his B game to these playoffs. Kapoww is a really good scout that also uploads scatter school videos on the same channel. Looking back at my history with Kapoww, I don’t know what I would've done without him. Back in 2010 I had stage 2 lung cancer and problems with my bronchitis. Kapoww would play me one of his songs and sometimes, even sing.

With his help I cheered up and beat bronchitis and continued my trek into competitive TF2. In hindsight, I probably would have recovered anyway but what matters is that Kapoww cared. And with that level of commitment to team chemistry and dynamics, LilB will take this round 1 match. 5-3 The team ForceB and LilB.

Blockback Mountain vs Subspace Emissaries

So I recently found out that Erika loves Slin like me. This makes me favor the Blockback squad a lot so my prediction might be a bit skewed. But uh, I think the scouts for Blockback are more consistent in terms of DM. I think the soldiers might be better too. Phamphlet has good DM but Block doesn’t die a lot while having good DM so I think the demo is better for Block. My opinion of Erika might’ve been different in the past but now that I know she likes Slin, I like her so the medic for Blockback is better. It seems like Blockback is better in every category. I predict a 5-0. Hopefully Subspace can prove me wrong though because that would be cool.

how 2 beat blockback

dont fight near block or even bother shooting at him unless hes alone because hes gonna have 500 hp
dont fight near tic when he has uber adv
cabin is a respawn timer as long as u have ur monitor turned on
their scouts will literally do nothing for the first 25 seconds of every mid/teamfight so focus down their roamer and whoever else isnt getting healed
also girl medic who explodes easily and can be forced by spam without much trouble

i believe in most of u

I'm cracking up at the idea of two scouts just running away from each other every time they meet

kapoww bought my monitor. This was the monitor i used when we won IM in season 8...its a sign (or he's just really good)

Blockback vs cisco should be a freaking incredible match
