Hello and welcome to Dasvi's analysis of the Summer Showdown Matches. There are very intresting matches in the tourney and close ones, so to help future betters (Betting thread coming soon!) here is my analysis on the matches
Westward vs Wolves
Westward : Mete Khan, Pendragon Keyplayers Wolves: Trebron, GorNAh, the classical oldbloods versus youngbloods match. Wolves has earned the reputation from Trebron and his national fervor. Now the clan is disbanded, but the polish company of Trebron, GorN and Szumczak decided to come back one more time, to kick some new ass. Or not?
Westward introduced itself though the Warband Turkish League, and managed to impress with a 5-10 defeat agaist Teutonic (5th in WNL) and a 8-8 draw vs SoE (though SoE lacked key players). It's skill lies on cavalry with the duo Mete Khan and Pendragon, and the latter impressed in the NC Finals.
However, WV has also the legendary horseman Trebron and his fellow infantry friend GorN, who can get a lot of kills. The only weakness of WV is the small roster and perhaps tactics
To Conclude, if WV manages to hold back the WW cav duo and play organized, not underestimating the Westwardians, they can take it. But I doubt this will happen. Westward wins 11-5
Saracens vs Court of Reveran
Saracens: NeToMaN, Carpe Diem Keyplayers CoR: Varsung, Shoxi"The match that never happened" would be my title for this match as the 2 teams never met in the WNL, and now we will see who is the best of the 2.
Reformed and rearmed, the Saracen clan is back to action with NeToMaN as commander, and it will be intresting to see his tactics. The core remains intact with the exception of Anders, and freshed up with new players, such as Snuff and former PE captain Prince17. Also Carpe will play in his final match with his old clan, ready to help in the cavalry department and crack some nits with his lance
But the Saracens have a hard nut to crack
Court of Reveran. One of the oldest clans in M&B Warband history, has reformed and freshed too with the addition of 2 ex-IG members. Varsung and Yona. Varsung and MaHuD form a strong duo, so do Shoxi and Yona. This could shake the table of the Saracens. The biggest strength of CoR though is the tactics. Those tactics gave them victories although being risky. The rush gave no time to prepare a crossfire and made the enemy face them on their strengths.
CoR's tactics and players seem solid but if NeToMaN's commanding manages to outsmart CoR's one, Saracens would be able to win this by the pure spirit they have. Very close match but Saracens will win by a whisker 9-7
