AML Season 10 Finals Predictions

DAMN_Yankess vs ReDs


No Surprise that ReDs are here, specially as their only real threat and the only team to go head to head with them this season, BlackNike, were upset earlier in the playoffs. This final also continues the trend of surprise finalists (SFE, Idio), but will it be the same result?

Most people would say yes and dy have no chance, but they are forgetting one thing. That one thing is THE POWER OF THE CLUTCH. As a little fat bouncing baby boy in the slums of Chile the Gods looked fondly down at Zombie and empowered him with THE POWER OF THE CLUTCH. He has used this sparingly, but those of us who were there will never forget seeing THE POWER OF THE CLUTCH when zombie attached to Dacrath in the IML finals and in the greatest move ever seen in a 2d free internet asteroids game pulled of THE REP HEARD ROUND THE WORLD. ESPN.com had THE REP HEARD ROUND THE WORLD ranked #23 in the greatest sporting moments of all time in the world ever. That's just ahead of Mad Dog Mike Curtis decking the hippie and one below Jamie Foxx throwing up on the Miami Sharks sideline. Along with Zombie dy have Pegasus and Venice Beach who together turned dy's season around and got them this far. And in a Vorbometer exclusive I can finally reveal who Venice Beach really is. He is the fourth brother that Zombie, Miner and Pegasus don't like to talk about. For six days of the week he's kept locked up in the cellar, but on Sundays he is released, given a laptop and mayhem ensues. Then after the game he's given a sack of lentils, a Rubik's cube and kicked back down into the cellar.

ReDs have so much depth it's boring. Seriously, where's the fun in choosing a starting four? Hmmm, these four pros aren't getting it done, I think I'll sub in my other four pros and get my other other four pros ready just in case. Although after saying that their standout player this season is bushes, a true AML pilot, closely followed by 9-Volt (I have to say that, he's my WZL captain and I don't want to be benched). Any team has the ability to choke at anytime and ReDs are no exception, but with the experience and depth Oberic has on his bench it's proved impossible for the oppostion to turn ReDs' chokes early in games into wins. Two good examples are the regular season game against BN where ReDs looked down and out but after subs forced OT and got the win. Then last week in game 1 of the semi final series against Disavowed the score early on was 4-4 and the result was in the balance, but again after subs ReDs just put their foot on the gas and won 12-4. In a single game when one or two mistakes can make or break a squad then maybe DAMN_yankees can pull of an upset win, but in a three game series I just can't see it happening.

Key players:

DY: Zombie, Pegasus, Venice Beach

ReDs: Bushes, 9-Volt, PeRoXiDe


Key Match up:

DY's fourth slot. For dy to have any chance of winning they need all four slots in the game. They can't get 12 kills on ReDs and shouldn't even try. To win they have to carve out a winning position and hold on to it any way they can. To do this their big three must keep that fourth spot alive any way they can.


Vorbometer:

Game 1: Zombie pulls out THE POWER OF THE CLUTCH and dy get the upset win 4-2 in OT.

Game 2: ReDs dominate and win 12-3

Game 3: ReDs dominate and win 12-2 to become AML champs


Watch out for:

The spec freq after ReDs win in the ultimate whinefest about pro players coming here, taking our jobs and stealing our women. I forecast the whiner in chief will be Miner because, as I never tire of saying, sometimes irony can be so ironic. Whatever the final result is, dy are already my team of the season for getting pretender and the rest of Dedication to finally shut the fuck up.
