~~~ Apis Europae vs Unity ~~~
We've got an ugly and boring Autumn. Classic. Nothing to do, so I agreed to write this "analysis" for semi finals. Good way to cure my PTSD after last Sunday. This stuff is honest and salty, feel warned. I hope u ll have fun reading this.
After beating K**** (who won against AE twice in the league) Unity comes either with confidence boost or additional pressure though I think it depends on certain players, it still might affect their performance if some boys get too excited XD. In the league Unity was unlucky to met AE and K**** losing two times but they managed to qualify for knockouts. So AE have already beaten Unity with convincing score, no contest. That's something to be considered. I'm sure most of Unity players felt inferior compared to AE but after last week this shouldn't be a problem anymore. Guys with big egos are capable of doing big things, it's still just a video game but almost same rules still apply. There've been few guys who told me "it doesn't count, there's no pressure in Warband", at the end they had shaky hands in the moment when their team needed them most so don't argue with me about this one.
So much said about Unity... what can we say about AE? One thing for sure - these guys won't have any problems with their egos, its' big enough to beat Unity 12:0 if they do well or lose 8:6 (some reference)))) ) if they.... well... do bad.
AE had quite easy league, They lost twice but they've been one of first teams to qualify. Maybe the infantry ain't so good as they used to be few years ago, still everything seems ok. They've got teamplay, hard opponent for Unity. Since Azan & Razer spied/spectated K**** v Unity im sure they will not dupe our mistakes)))
Let's look at clan's classes. BP's & SP's will tell u the truth.
At rangers only Paulo is somewhere near the top level, AE has at least 2 rangers better than Unity's best one so yea AE 1:0 Unity
The infantry of AE got worse as I mentioned before. That doesn't mean they're below Unity's infantry level, they're better. AE 2:0 Unity.
AE's cavalry match and teamplay experience & skills outclasses Unity's cav pubstomp attitude. There's no comparison. Because of that I'll I give 4:0 for AE in stats XD
In addition Both maps Desolation Valley & Castellum are in favour of AE.
That's brutal. Does it mean AE takes it 100%? No chance for Unity? Last week Tardet gave 75% to 25% against Unity. We all know what happened
My mind tells me AE will win ez. My heart wants AE to lose so I feel better since last week I got rekt by Unity. If you wanna see underdogs winning this will be the best opportunity until the Nations Cup starts. Two possible scenarios: Unity gets smashed or wins in close match with a bit of bad AE performance/spawn flag luck on their side.
~~~ Irish Rebels vs Wonwokie ~~~
Wonwokie having a nice comeback stomped few mediocre teams, they didn't manage to do anything against top clans yet. I honestly consider IR as one of top clans. The fact that they rekt Wonwokie in week 6 proves it.
IR lost once and had a draw. One of surprising matches was against FTW. That's a shame, still they came back and showed it was more because of underestimating them and "it's just FTW" attitude. IR learnt from this mistake.
Summing up classes:
IR rangers too strong for Wonwokie. Many reasons for that, one of them biggest - Virus arguably best archer in Warband. Surprisingly Wonwokie's RD aim isn't so good after his 1 match ban))) IR 1:0 Wonwoks
SRC merged with IR bringing few strong infs. Again IR is superior both with quality and quantity. IR 2:0 Wonwoks
Cavalry looks more balanced. At open maps IR's cav are dedicated infantry players. They're at decent level, but Wonwoks cav looks more consistent. However both teams get a point, Hopkiin got much better after his WNL4 ragequit from IR so there's no cav advantage for Wonwoks in closed map. IR 3:1 Wonwoks
Match will be more even compared to Unity vs AE. Of course there's one winner for me - IR. If they play well the result is obvious. Wonwokie's only chance is winning hard on River Village.
I think it was all that can be said for these matches. Good luck to all teams, especially to my favourites. ♥ IR ♥
