[Malice] have been consistent this whole season. With only dropping a few maps, they have been the team to beat. They've knocked over strong teams like Velocity and KK with ease.

This weekend decides it all, will it be a fairytale finish for the NMA boys? or a end to a very consistent season for the [Malice] Boys and Girl? 

Lineups:

NMA
Rohizle
Hawk
Death
Butler (Ares Assassin)
Kramer
Pure XTC

[Malice]
Double Horns
OneGoodReason (Jordo)
Taunted
JipD
ZM
Ziggy.

NMA have some of the most skilled players in intermediate. Hawk and Kramer have to be in the top 5 for clutch players in intermediate. Not to be out-done in the kills department as they are well supported by Butler, Death and Pure XTC. The team is lead by Rohizle, who is known to grenade himself when he's the last one alive, haha. Rohizle has his player/map rotations down to an art-form, the players for each map he chooses this weekend will no doubt be the right mix. NMA are a strong team, and must not let their emotions affect their gameplay.

[Malice], Team consistent. Noone in this team has a bad game. They thrive of trying to get more kills and know how to step-up when needed. Watchout for rushers like JipD and Taunted to take out players early in the round. Jordo will no doubt be rocking the sniper looking for a few more double snipes. They will be well backed up by the clutch skills of Double Horns, ZM and Ziggy. If Ziggy can pull ridiculous plays he will win many rounds for this team. If [Malice] stick to their gameplan, they won't go down easy at all.

With NMA bouncing back and defeating KK in 2 maps, and Rohizle hitting peak form when it was needed I can see them taking this to [Malice] and making the scores extremely close. [Malice] will look to shutdown NMA early with their block nades and rushers, if they can do this, it will result in Alot of bomb plants and pinning NMA.

This game will definately go down to the wire, and it should go the 5 maps. If [Malice] catch fire they will take it 3-2. However, i see NMA to pumped up to lose this now.
NMA to win 3-2.
