Scouting Report: VICE Squad v Copper Queens
Tonight's first playoff match will be VICE Squad v Copper Queens. Doors open at 6:00 at Bladeworld. Yeah, I said six...that means you gotta leave the house earlier.
Copper Queens:
Previous Match: Furious Truckstop Waitresses 102 – CQ 62 (21 Jul)
Season Record: 1 - 2
Leading Scorer: Cheap Ore (P/J) – 128 points in 26 jams
Leading Defender: Ferocious Oxide (P/J) – 81 blocks, 12 penalties (1 major)
Probable Absences: None
VICE Squad:
Previous Match: VS 122 – Iron Curtain 46 (18 Aug)
Season Record: 2 – 1
Leading Scorer: Penny Tencherry (J/B) – 131 points in 39 jams
Leading Defender: Whiskey Mick (P/J) – 113 blocks, 22 penalties (7 major)
Probable Absences: None
Previous Meetings (Winner in bold):
VS 102 – CQ 28 (14 Apr 2007)
Ted's Expert Analysis (unless otherwise noted, stats for jammers from last bout played):
Don’t let the score from their last meeting fool you. The Copper Queens have improved greatly over the intervening time. In that first match, they depended largely on veteran Dirty Teri (who scored over half of their points in that match). Over the last few matches, both their offense and defense has become stronger and less dependent on her, as evidenced by their win against Iron Curtain (106-71) and their performance (albeit in a losing effort) against champions Furious Truckstop Waitresses.
Despite the improvements, expect VICE Squad to win this one. Copper Queens are strong enough now to take advantage of a mistake here and there. Expect them to keep this interesting deep into the match.
Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.
