The Crunchy Bunch (#3) vs Playground Tactics (#4)
http://i.imgur.com/pTOyYX5.png
I can't say I was expecting this upper-round final whatsoever, but it should be a good match nonetheless. Playground Tactics should be in high spirits, coming into this match off a big upset on the top seed indust we trust, mauling them 5-1 on Granary. That being said, I expect Playground Tactics to continue their run into the Open finals. On Gullywash, demomen are key, so I think Rikachu will tilt this in Tactics' favor; while Rex may be one of the best demos in open, I'll go on record and say that I think Rikachu is better. If Rekuso can pull out some big plays then The Crunchy Bunch might have a shot at this, but on Gullywash I just don't see it happening. Playground Tactics wins 5-2.

The Peppercock Family (#13) vs The 20-20 Experience (#15)
http://i.imgur.com/D5vqCgJ.png
Both of these teams are coming into this match off of convincing wins in their Granary matches. The Peppercock Family managed to pull off a minor upset and make me look stupid by predicting against them, and 20-20 (formerly known as New Faith Church Gaming) worked Rent-a-Homies with a 5-1 win. Reiterating what I said in the Crunch vs Playground prediction, Gullywash is a really demo dependent map, and the Peppercocks are missing the demo dominance that many of the other playoff contenders at this point have. I'm expecting clorg to run these mids, but as always the zalfy factor can come into play and can/probably will really mess things up. Assuming kev and crypt don't poop their pants and let zalfy get away with doing whatever he wants, 20-20 Experience wins 5-3.

Hanky Panky (#2) vs slippin with slipz v2 (#12)
http://i.imgur.com/W8TYKZH.png
I spent all day thinking about it, but in the end I still think this could go either way. On one hand, Hanky Panky stepped up their game up last week by managing to beat gettin cozy. On the other hand, slippin with slipz fell short by dropping 4 rounds to Toon Gang. Class-wise, I think that their demomen are about even, slipz has the better soldiers, and Hanky Panky has the better scouts. On Gullywash the soldiers should theoretically have more of an impact on the game, but in the end I just said screw it and ended up flipping a coin. My quarter tells me that slippin with slipz is going to win, I'll guess 5-3.

Peppercocks are missing the demo dominance that many of the other playoff contenders at this point have.
I dont think that is necessarily true and I'm going to give a shout-out to the rest of the family. you don't get to playoffs with just one player (even though Zalfy is a HUGE part of the team its a 6v6 game.) I dont think you should rule out the rest of the team which seems to be the case when people talk about the peppercocks.

its hard to talk about the peppercocks and ignore zalfy. the kid is great, its been said over and over. with that said, i think eddeh is a better demo than conductor is giving him credit for and should do pretty well. i actually think its going to come down to what the soldiers do at mids and during transitions that is going to tip the balance. the soldiers that die for no reason are going to lose it for their teams. i mean, you can say the same thing about the scouts too, but if new faith takes 1v1s too often then thats just a mistake.

I'm not trying to sweep the other members of the peppercock family under the rug, I'm more or less saying that I just haven't seen anything from them that gives me reason to believe they'll have any big impact on the teams they're playing against (aside from john on sniper). They're by no means bad, their dm is alright and they don't have a horrible understanding of the game, but Zalfy is far and away the best player on the team and I can't picture any scenario in which they would be able to play at the level they do without him, sorry. I'm sure they're at least taking something from the experience though. hopefully that clears up my thoughts on the peppercock family.
