Atlanta vs. London
Atlanta looked as strong as ever in the respawn and SnD games, as cellium and abezy went off in the slaying department, both leading the team with a 1.3KDA on Friday. Simp was able to play main objective in every game as he lead the teams in domination caps and hill seconds in Hardpoint. Paris was able to take a game off them in the domination where Atlanta got outslayed until the next Hardpoint but then they came out swinging to 100-point club them. London, on the other hand, looked really sloppy early on in the respawn games and weren't slaying OGLA hard enough in the early parts. Eventually they got things going and won through sheer teamwork and rotations. London's SnD game looked ugly, even in the last game where they didn't have any good coordination at any bomb sites. Atlanta are one of the better SnD teams and one that trade kills efficiently, which will give London a tough time trying to clean up any members during gunfights.
Prediction: Atlanta 3-1
Atlanta Players to Target: Simp ($9,800) Cellium ($8,600)
London Players to Target: Skrapz ($7,400), Wuskin ($8,000)
Toronto vs. Minnesota
Toronto shocked New York after coming in as an underdog and losing the first Hardpoint, led by Classic and Methodz, who both posted a 1.3 KDA that brought back

Toronto vs. Minnesota
Toronto shocked New York after coming in as an underdog and losing the first Hardpoint, led by Classic and Methodz, who both posted a 1.3 KDA that brought back Toronto into a lot of games. Toronto still looked a bit rough in respawns, as they were gifted a lot of the good spawns in domination and Hardpoint heading either into second side or second set of Hardpoint rotations. It was nice to see Toronto executing on New York's mistakes, as they seem to be getting better and better every game after only winning two series the past few events. Minnesota came out looking like the top team in this tournament, as everyone stepped up in a big fashion. There were some concerns on how this team will close out games, but they proved to have fixed that and their slaying capabilities are still scary.
Prediction: Minnesota 3-1
Minnesota Players to Target: SiLLY ($6,800), GodRx ($8,800)
Toronto Players to Target: Classic ($7,400), Methodz ($7,800)
Paris vs. OGLA
Paris played really well against Atlanta except the last Hardpoint game. Every player on Paris did well in the slaying category, as there wasn't a standout person, but the lack of leadership and direction is what this team is dealing with. It was evident in the last Hardpoint they were tilted after being completely slayed out in the first one, and the mental aspect of the game is something they need to improve on. OG looked really strong in the SnD games, as Dashy played well having over 100 kills in all five maps while posting a 1.2 KDA. The problem with OG is that they are like Paris without the slaying power. OG can hang with the best if they can start slaying out more and cutting off rotations to next Hardpoints, and if they can do that then I can see this series being close.
Prediction: Paris 3-2
OG Players to Target: Dashy ($8,400), Slasher ($8,000)
Paris Players to Target: Louqa ($7,600), Kismet ($7,800)
Florida vs. New York
This is another close game, with both teams capable of showing us more than they did today. The issue with New York is that they threw so many leads and gave Toronto a fighting chance in every mode for them to come back. They generally had good rotations and setups but could barely win any of their gun fights. Mack led the team with a 1.3 KDA, and that wasn't enough to give them an edge over Toronto. Florida might have not played poorly at first glance, but Maux was getting bodied by everyone on Minnesota. Maux had the worst KDA of the day, and despite how close the games were, he just couldn't get anything going. Skyz led the team with a 1.4 KDA, and even with his efforts it wasn't enough to bring them to close out the games against Minnesota. I think this one can go either way, as all Florida really need to do is make sure Maux plays better while New York might be having some team issues.
Prediction: Florida 3-2
Florida Players to Target: Skyz ($9200), Fero ($9400)
New York Players to Target: Mack ($8200), Attach ($8000)
