We would be remiss not to preview the rest of the matchups in the playoffs. Now that they are finalized feast your eyes upon:
Division 2
TeeWhyEss vs Pasta La Vista - Interesting note about TYs, they do not ban 2nd panzer and have even played it once. While all of Pasta’s wins have come with 16 DE.
Tatarboy vs Aim_Deusi - Tatarboy has championed 9th US and 6 ya but is yet to face an Airborne Division. On the other hand, Aim_deusi, a T-72 aficionado, has used Korpus twice this season.
Kotch vs Goldenpanzer30 or ADLER_750 - Kotch steamrolled their group with five of their eight games lasting under 15 minutes. Goldenpanzer, using only Tank divisions, had seven of their eight games go over the 15 minute mark. Whereas Adler_750 averaged 35:57 in their contest which makes sense given they always ban 35 vdv.
Greyhound vs Suojeluskunta - Do not play an infantry division versus Greyhound, they will beat you 80% of the time. Unless you are Suojeluskunta, who’s heaviest division was Division Acorazada Brunete.
Division 3
Ludie vs sirskull - Ludie loves to beat up on Nato divisions, which is the majority of what Skull played in the regular season.
5_luuk_5 vs Patrician Ricimer - Luuk has played Division Acorazada Brunete in every match. Ricimer bans Brunete a bunch and plays 16 DE and 6 ya. These two understand the meta!
_menkar4_ vs Mike - Mike is a Leopard enjoyer and Airborne destroyer. Menkar is a tank driver championing 19 czech, 2nd panzer, and 6 ya.
CoreAccretion vs fatkid - Drafting will be crucial as fatkid succumbs to the meta slavery that is 20th Pancerna (2-0) while CoreAccretion has the charts and graphs to know that Airborne is how to beat Tank divisions 100% of the time.
Division 4
Underground Tunnel Enjoyer vs Vladik - Vladik has played 7 different divisions but seems to favor Vertigo and Mount River. Will UTE’s 157 ya’s Rezervisti get them the win?
TheHellene vs prefire_exe - Ban 5e and try to play on Kreide has been theHellene’s gameplan to the tune of zero maps dropped. Prefire never lets Kreide through. YOU HAVE TO HAVE DEPTH IN THE PLAYOFFS.
Regmonkey vs syndi83 - Regmonkey excels with Division Acorazada Brunete, 9. Panzerdivision, and 4. Motorisierte Schützendivision. Syndi83 has managed to play 20 Dywizja Pancerna three (!) times (2-1).
Barkas85 vs PrincessEvelyn - Barkas will destroy you with either Territorialkommando Sud, K.d.A. Bezirk Erfurt, 2. Panzergrenadier. But what happens if they are banned? PrincessEvelyn can win with 27 ya?! That's my pick to win Division 4 then!
More Warno is on the horizon.
