SLAM OPEN Final Week Preview

T-Wolves Gaming vs Knicks Gaming  Wednesday, 3/29 at 8:15 pm ET

 

T-Wolves Gaming rides into their matchup versus Knicks Gaming looking to keep the momentum flowing coming off a hot 3-0 series victory over the G1 Longhorns. Now they must quickly shift their focus as they get ready to face their next challenge. Some questions remain for this squad. Does Kai have what it takes to step up to the plate against a very sound Knicks Gaming squad or will Stick be able to lead the charge and create chaos to spoil the party for T-Wolves Gaming. On the other side of the coin, Knicks Gaming cruises into their matchup versus T-Wolves Gaming after taking down Pacers Gaming just a few days ago. A few questions must be answered for Knicks Gaming prior to this matchup. Does Malik have what it takes to make it rain from beyond the arc or will TBshiftay have his way with Malik defensively? In order for Knicks Gaming to emerge victorious, Malik must be efficient from the field throughout the series and minimize his turnovers. If he is able to do so, Knicks Gaming will come out on top. Additionally, if Stick is able to thwart Kaii defensively and force turnovers, this will bolster Knicks Gaming’s chances of winning. If Kaii is able to light it up from three-point range and minimize his turnovers to give Stick a run for his money, T-Wolves Gaming will rise to the top of the mountain and take the series.

 

Prediction: T-Wolves Gaming wins the thrilling best-of- five series 3-2 over Knicks Gaming

 

Cavs Legion GC vs Hawks Talon GC  Wednesday, 3/29 at 6:45pm ET

 

Cavs Legion GC marches into their matchup versus Hawks Talon GC looking to carry the momentum over from their series victory versus Grizz Gaming. Now, how do they respond to taking the stage vs Hawks Talon GC, a team who has been one of the more consistent teams so far this season. In order to come out victorious, Antoine must find consistency from downtown and limit his offensive mistakes. On the other side of the ball, SubGoated must deliver defensively when facing off against MVP caliber point guard Ceez. If Sub is able to devastate Ceez defensively and create some turnovers and turn them into points, Cavs Legion GC will put themselves in a great position to win this series. If they are unable to do these things, this series will be a walk in the park for Hawks Talon GC. In order for Hawks Talon GC to come away with this series, Gradient must smother Antoine defensively to disrupt his offensive rhythm. In addition, Ceez must rack up points from beyond the arc and minimize his turnovers in order to put some separation between the two teams. If Hawks Talon GC are able to execute on these things, they will easily advance to the next round.

 

Prediction: Hawks Talon GC wins the best-of five series 3-0

 

Jazz Gaming vs Pistons GT Wednesday, 3/29 at 6:00 pm ET

 

Jazz Gaming heads into their matchup coming off of a series victory versus 76ers GC. As they get ready to square off against Pistons GT, there’s no better time to measure  up to the challenge. In order to come out victorious, Rek must be able to go shot for shot with opposing point guard Ant, who is an extremely prolific scorer. Additionally, Kaaze will face the daunting task of trying to contain him defensively. In order to come out victorious, Utah Jazz Gaming must be productive offensively, while also limiting their errors . If Kaaze is also able to uphold the defensive end throughout the series, Utah Jazz Gaming will capture the upset victory.

 

Pistons GT heads into their next series coming off of an exceptional victory versus Bucks Gaming. As they get ready for what lies ahead with Jazz Gaming, Pistons GT must rise to the occasion on both sides of the ball. In order to emerge as the winner, Ant must be able to remain effective from the field and limit his turnovers to hinder Jazz Gaming defensively. Furthermore, Pistons GT is going to have to contain Rek offensively in order to slow down Jazz Gaming’s dynamic offense. If Bag is able to stifle Rek throughout the series and cause mayhem defensively, Pistons GT comes out on top.

 

Prediction: Pistons GT wins the best-of five series 3-1
