The Goods: Week 7 Semifinals

Only 4 teams remain! 2 rushes a combo build and... whatever Captain Italy is supposed to be! You need some insight into the matchups? Don't worry! I've got your medicine with...


The rest of the crew takes a break this week, as Husband and Wife fight for supremacy to set-up our finals this weekend!

For The Gamblers, we are double points this week!
call the match winner - 16 points.
call the team dealing first blood in the matchup - 2 points.
call the match winner AND the series result? (TNNB beats Anti-Matter 2 games to 0) Double your points related to that match. (maximum 36 points per game!)
Call BOTH match winners - 8 point Bonus! (you dont need the series results of each match to be perfect only guess the winners correctly.)

That's 80 possible points you can score in 2 games. it may be a close leaderboard, but ANYONE can still win with the right picks, and a bit of luck!

Remember folks...

Who will become the face of the VS System Collective?

SF Match 5 - TNNB(Steph) VS (Aaron)Anti-Matter
There's something to be said about consistency when you are two matches away from an undefeated run. I don't think anyone here doubts the validity of TNNB's consideration as King of the Monsters. However, Anti-Matter, like a true middle child, has proven that it has a bone to pick with the "champ" And with a surprisingly similar resume including an undefeated run, and the title of the vaunted Spider-Stall killers. (Arguably one of TNNB's worst matchups) it gets harder and harder to count out the Simple-but-not-so-simple rush.
But let's be real here. a completely concealed list vs TNNB means hands-down: advantage TNNB.
Favored to Win: TNNB - 2 games to 1


SF Match 6 - Fantastic Fun 2.0(Aaron) VS (Steph)Captain Italy
Looking at this match-up, you can't assume anything. You'll just fall into the rabbit hole.
Here's an example of what I mean:
Captain Italy has no answer to Child.
Null Time Zone.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
You sure did.
Ok how about, reinforcement counters Captain Italy's win condition.
Warp Shards 3 drop Invisible Woman.
Huh. I suppose so. Fine then. Fantastic Fun has no answer to Captain Italy.
Ultimate Nullifier can negate The Captain's start of combat name changes.
Wow. This is harder than I thought to break down.
EXACTLY.
So here's the best breakdown I can give and still hopefully be reasonably accurate.
Captain Italy is not nearly as inconsistent as the potential "BAD" draws of Fantastic Fun. Because of that and only that, I'm calling the series to go...
Favored to Win: Captain Italy - 2 games to 1
