<blockquote> The last shot at playoff hopes for PGH. </blockquote><br>
<span class=summary-title>Breakdown </span><br><br><span class=summary>Although you might not think it, this is actually a pretty important match. There's a chance for a 3 way tie and an upset for PGH to sneak their way into the playoffs. These are the scenarios: Rejects loses to Mudfly and PGH beats worms outright OR Rejects beats Mudfly (low scoring game) and PGH beats worms (high scoring game)
Since the 3 way tie comes down to squad rating PGH needs to do everything they can to keep their rating above Rejects (assuming they win this Sunday).
I think it's entirely possible for PGH to pull an upset here. worms were dismantled by CK this past week and their weaknesses have been exposed. Hopefully PGH was around to watch this match and were able to take some insight from it. Although PGH has an entirely different play style than CK I do believe theirs can work against worms. But I can't emphasize this enough. <b>Their players NEED to play like they do during the week and not crumble under pressure during match time.</b> If they can get their jitters out of the way and sort out their starting lineup situation then I think we're going to have a really good match here. Figure out who your strongest players are and who is going to be leading in advance and stick with it. I noticed against Rejects there seemed to be a bit of miscommunication with the lineups. CB had been leading the whole week leading up to the match and then he was in spec for the first 15 minutes. You can't do that. Here is the lineup I would use going into this match:
albert (Mar)
CB (Mar)
Kay Double-U (Mar)
Key (Mar)
Killer (Mar)
OMC (Mar)
victim (Med)
Water (Med)

Most people would argue that worms are favored in this match. And a few weeks ago I probably would have agreed. It's almost as if it was 2007 again and these guys were working together really well. Then they came back to reality and it's just the same old worms again. Don't get me wrong, they're still capable of being a deadly squad but when this squad is off they're REALLY off. If I had to make a guess I would say there's an issue with leading. I have a feeling they're switching back and forth between leaders and there's no consistency. Pick a leader that the squad is confident with and stick with it. It's hard to tell without being on mumble/vent with them but from a spectators point of view and even playing against them there's something really off with their positioning and general play style. You would think after all these seasons together there would be better chemistry but I almost feel like they're regressing. Either way they are still more than capable of winning this match and put up big numbers again. But who knows which worms will show up this Sunday. Here's what I would go with for a starting lineup:
Bmei (Mar)
Khaleesi (Mar)
Legacy (Mar)
SM (Mar)
Tactical (Mar)
tg (Mar)
bronco (Med)
slob (Med)

If there was ever a time that PGH needed to really step up it would be this Sunday. Play like you do in SBs and you'll be fine. You basically have nothing to lose and a lot to gain. worms will be playing spoiler and they know they also have a chance to be eliminated from the playoffs if their rating drops low as well.
Final Score: 44-36 PGH
MVP: OMC
