One of our very talented Painkiller members, Benjamin Bohrmann, also known as zyz, is in LA competiting against Vo0, Gellehsak and Daler. A talent lineup, there will be two games each day, with the big showdown on Friday, where zyz takes on Vo0. This should prove to be an entertaining event. Here are the schedules for the Painkiller matches.
Thursday 19th May 01:00 CET
Sander "Vo0" Kaasjager [25:4] Andrew "Gellehsak" Ryder
Benjamin "SK|zyz" Bohrmann [24:4] Sean "Daler" Price
Comment: zyz's first game is against the talented American, Daler. He has recently come across Daler in the 4th Round of the Lower Bracket at the CPL World Tour stop in Spain. zyz took the 2:0 win, and worked his way through the Lower Bracket to finish at the 4th spot. Daler will find it tough agaist zyz, and depending on the format I expect a clean win for zyz.
Thursday 19th May 21:30 CET
Sander "Vo0" Kaasjager [40:6] Sean "Daler" Price
Andrew "Gellehsak" Ryder [12:10] Benjamin "SK|zyz" Bohrmann
Comment: Gellehsak had a poor showing at the CPL World Tour stop in Spain, finishing in 17th-24th spot. Very disappointing for him, but hopefully that placing in Spain has changed his thought patterns and fired him up for E3. If things haven't changed too much zyz should take the win, but expect Gellehsak to win a map if it is the best of 3 map format.
Friday 20th May 20:00 CET
Sander "Vo0" Kaasjager [24:13] Benjamin "SK|zyz" Bohrmann
Andrew "Gellehsak" Ryder [x:x] Sean "Daler" Price
Comment:The big one, the shake down, Ali vs Foreman, Vo0 vs zyz, this is the rumble in Los Angeles. This match has gone different ways each time they've met, both take maps off their opponent. There is no definite favourite, with SK|SteLam taking the crown in Spain, that has boosted the morale of many Painkiller players, knowing the big man is beatable. Vo0 can draw from many different situations from previous big finals he has been in, and zyz can draw from recent performances, this will be the big game of the week, expect a 2:1 win either way, this game is too close to call.
