SSCam Season 8 Preds

Now I realize on the page we have it listed as season 2 but I'm working on having an archive link to show the results from ALL the previous seasons. Thanks to James for doing all the predictions this season. Here they are.

The Groups are finally up thanks Jon and Steven for doing such a great job last season and getting this season going rather quickly. But we got quite a few tough groups and then some top players with some not so top players but this is all opinion based so if you don't like it, sorry, but this is what I have seen since I came back

Group A - This is a very tough group to pick what is going to happen but here goes.
nhanxx - Good player but gets a lot of lucky rolls that help him out greatly. When it comes down to playing other players in the group he will need a hell of a lot of luck to pull a playoff spot. Finish 5th
nullified - Shan has 2 games...his A game and his not so A game. If you catch him on a day where he is just not having his way at the table (he will prolly be playing COD MW2) you can beat him especially if he is distracted. Finish 3rd
zah1d_rasul - only seen him play once, new to cam competitions. Finish 6th
mr_camtasia - Now comes the hard predictions. Chris is a top player and rarely loses in races so it's hard for me to pick against him so I won't. Finish 1st
king_hustler2004 - Although king may pull out the win in this group I just feel he will end up missing out by a point or 2 and cant quite top Chris. Finish 2nd
Top__Dawg__ - Never seen sterlo in a cam competition but he is a good ball striker, I just feel this group will be too strong for him to overcome and make playoffs. Finish 4th

Group B - Pretty even group top to bottom, should be some nice sets here.
TINO_NlCA - Could win this group if he plays all of his sets from what I've noticed in the past he sometimes does and sometimes doesn't. Finish 2nd
billiard_inc - Dr Jekyl and Mr. Hyde here he can possibly be a great shooter...when he is on bud he has a habit of being off and choking when the game is on the line or when the set is on the line. Just doesn't have the closing kills to win a lot of matches versus the better players in this group. Finish 3rd
sampler_43 - don't really know the player but from what I've seen not gonna really be a force to be reckoned with in this group. Finish 6th
ypool_machine - Trav can be a great shot but the key is can if he shows up he has a chance to make some upsets and steal a playoff spot. Finish 4th
seduced_you - This is where it gets difficult in this group there are so many "Good" players that its hard to pick someone to win or lose but at the end of the day I just feel Brandon is not gonna get the luck needed to pull this off. Finish 5th
fhm_champion - Ben is a strong shooter with strong English and closing skills I feel he can win this group if he plays to his potential. Finish 1st

Group C - One of the toughest groups in this competition. Gonna be fun to watch what happens. Almost anyone can win this group.
_bighead - Craig has the ability to win this group if he plays his sets and stops playing poker all the time instead. Finish 1st
xlx_nish_xlx - great shooter but because this is a tough group gonna have to climb a little bit of a mountain to get to playoffs here. Finish 4th
blow_my_rod - Rod has his off days and his on days but he can pull out some victories just not in this group. Finish 5th
potting_machine010 - Irfan in my eyes could be the favorite but he doesn't always finish his sets so if he can finish his sets and beat Craig he will win this group. Finish 2nd
MaryJane_High - I feel bad for Shelle she is a good player but is going to get beaten up hard in this group. Finish 6th
mindset_cue - What bothers me about tanz is when he playes me he is on fire so i'm a little biased with him. But when I see him playing other people he tends to choke but he has won a BLT recently and will do well in this group. Finish 3rd

Group D - The Group of Death so many good players but only 3 can move on.
xlx_ravi_xlx - Have not seen ravi play a whole lot but from what I see he can be a good shooter but in this group he is gonna pull up the rear. Finish 6th
leeds_united14 - Jon is a great player as long as he isn't playing in GIT he will do well and make the playoffs. Finish 2nd
x_xthomasx_x - I should stop saying good players in this group but here is another but I don't think he will have enough in the tank to make playoffs. Finish 4th
running_the_table_so_gg - As I'm writing this he has already beaten Jon and was up 5-0 on boston...Nuff said. Finish 1st
stonedpilot88 - Being in the hardest group cannot be fun. Finish 5th
TrueBoston - If his bangs work the way it usually does he can win several series. But will he beat Jon I just can't see it. Finish 3rd

Group E - Some decent players in this group
lunatic1285 - I cant review myself so ill just predict where I will end up. Finish 2nd
x_dominance - TJ is a good player and if he completes his sets he will make playoffs if Kenny doesn't complete his. Finish 4th
eat_pinaples - Love hope to death but I just don't see her pulling up many upsets in this group. Finish 6th
the_pool_professor - Kenny has the skills to win this group but his mouth and his whining I think will prevent him from even finishing his sets. Finish 3rd
Studmuffin_777 - Never really played with dj so I have to go with what I know and I know there are some good players in this group. Finish 5th
nick_ownzz - Andrea is a great player most of the time craig carried him through most of the doubles cup but nick carried his own weight most of the time. Finish 1st

Group F - Some of SS's Finest in this group
Winterdavid - Don't know a whole lot about david but I know a lot about the rest of the group saw him play in interleague the other day and I think he could finish somewhere in the middle. Finish 5th
busted_open - If shane plays and thats a big if because I don't see him around a whole lot he could make playoffs. Finish 4th
xsoubanhx - When pita plays he is good but when pita coaches don't ever listen to him. I think that it will be between pita and kazi for the win but since pita is around more I think he will finish his sets and kazi won't. Finish 1st
eyye74 - I guess this is marco the one I know since that's not a common name so he has the ability to push pita and kazi to the limit but will fall just a little bit short. Finish 3rd
Hotdude_70 - Rahul is stuck in a group where his talent just is not gonna get him far. Sorry to say but he will be bringing up the rear. Finish 6th
ToyBoy2die4u - Read pitas and you know why I think he will finish 2nd but he will probably go farther than pita in playoffs. Finish 2nd

Group G - The makeshift group
dc_sacha - played sacha in interleague the other and is not a bad shooter but in this group just wont last long. Finish 6th
UN_NATURAL - where did all the Ica boys come from...well Trey will make this interesting and will make playoffs interesting after he wins this group. Finish 1st
col2ey - Well lets see when he was gummiebear he was really good but since he became corey its kinda fallen apart for him. I still think he can make playoffs out of this group though. Finish 3rd
DreamyGentlemen - Arif, only because there is a big seperation between top and bottom, is why I don't think he can make playoff push. Finish 5th
Sourwood - Daz could push trey and maybe win this group but since I already picked trey to win obviously I don't think this is going to happen. Finish 2nd
BaDcHaD_ - Chad almost got stuck in a really hard group instead he just gets a few really hard players and I just don't think he can overcome it. Finish 4th
