The first game of this round is ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) vs. aC (Anti Corny). While aC is definitely a serious, competitive clan with strong players such as Vall3y and sotE, I do not think they will be able to beat ADHD on this one - after all ADHD are more experienced players and have a better roster.
If I am to get down to detail, aC's best choice here is to choose cp_well, which seems to be their favorite map. On other maps their chances of beating ADHD are much lower due to ADHD's better deathmatch skills.
Second game is C-YA vs teamqp. C-YA has a definite advantage here, having strong players such as MoD, Mohawk, Sabin and more while teamqp did not yet get to setup a strong enough roster to be able to play C-YA equally. teamqp will most probably choose Gravelpit, seeing as it's their most played map so far. C-YA will win the attack stage here, resulting in a 3-0 (by the new gp score method). The entire map will go down to either C-YA winning both attack and defense (which will, I think, lead to their total victory seeing as teamqp's chances of winning defense against C-YA are reaching 0) or C-YA not winning the defense stage in which the game will tie 3-3. I think the best option for teamqp now is to defend the C cap strongly, so as to keep C-YA's score on 2, and then win a strong offense so that the game will end 3-2 for teamqp. If I am to guess a final score I would say 5-0, C-YA (after being unable to defend cap A on defense). I haven't got too much down to C-YA's pcws, so I am at a complete loss as to what map they will choose.
Third game is Insanity! vs pFe. This is an obvious game, decided by Ins's top-notch players (Forzew, Or-L, Krystal, d0llar) even thought the loss of Zig make Insanity a weaker clan than they were. I am guessing a definite Ins victory here, without pFe scoring a single point, even though I have no decent guess about the maps to be played.
TFSH vs EIP. This is a very, very close game unlike the other games in this round which have pretty much obvious results. I dare say EIP will take this thanks to their superior medic (General Edward) and thanks to the fact TFSH's best map (Hydro) isn't allowed on the tournament, but even though this game is very, very close and impossible to guess accurately.
To sum things up, ADHD, Insanity! and C-YA (Which are the strongest clans in the tournament) will probably get out of this round with the upper hand.
All-in-all, This round does not include very exciting games for me, and the same goes for the second round which will launch next week. The third round, on the contrary, include a C-YA vs ADHD game which will be amazing to watch.
Well, thats it for today folks, Over and out.

Nice coverage, good to see someone take the Israeli TF2 scene seriously.
Are you like, anonymous, or will we know who you are?
Thanks, I am glad you enjoy it.
Currently I would like to stay anonymous, Though that may change if the blog turns out well.
great job. kudos for coming up with this initiative. keep it coming! =]
d0llar is still a part of Insanity!
haha youd better wish he isd.. else insanity will have a rough time vs EIP ;)
As of the article's writing time d0llar did not have an Insanity! tag on, So I had to assume he quit them.
Fixed.
hey this is cool ^__^_^_^
journalist john huh?
its great and very interesting
I think its very important to have this kind of large perspective of the israeli game scene
please go on!
i Think it is fair to assume that ADHD will dominate the league.
With all due respect to C-ya, ADHD are a clan bourne into TF2 (if i'm not mistaken) whereas C-ya are old TFC'ers. The TFC connection could prove useful as in teamplay but also could prove distructful because of differences in game-play and tactics.
I'f I had to choose the League outcome in ~10 weeks I;d say ADHD 1st place, C-Ya 2nd and either INS or or EIP 3rd with INS showing as the stronger possibility :)
G'Luck to all teams!
vocaL sint a top-notch player? WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT! ><
