In the latest episode of the MorganMan Sports Podcast, host Stacy Cole Morgan offers a comprehensive look at the Atlanta FaZe and their upcoming matches in the Call of Duty League. As the episode unfolds, Morgan provides listeners with insights and predictions that are both timely and thought-provoking.
Setting the Stage
To begin with, Morgan sets the context for the episode by explaining the unique circumstances under which it was recorded. Due to work commitments, he recorded the podcast two weeks in advance, which means his analysis is based on the standings and performance of teams up to March 6th. This context is crucial for listeners to understand the perspective from which the predictions are made.
Atlanta FaZe vs. Los Angeles Gorillas: A Practice Match?
When discussing the Atlanta Faze’s matchup against the Los Angeles Gorillas, Morgan sees it as a potential “practice matchup” for the FaZe. With the Gorillas sitting at 11th overall with a 3-11 record, Morgan predicts a 3-1 victory for Atlanta FaZe. However, he notes some concerns:
– Faze seems to be slipping in hard points, reverting to old habits of staying off the point.
– The team needs to emphasize aggressive play and point capture to maintain their winning edge.
Morgan stresses the importance of establishing early dominance, stating, “If you establish that dominance early, you will win the game just point blank. But when you’re trying to play from behind, then it makes things so much more tougher on the whole team, not just yourself.”
Cloud 9 New York: A Tougher Challenge
For the Cloud 9 New York match, Morgan predicts a closer contest, suggesting a 3-2 victory for Atlanta FaZe. He cautions against underestimating Cloud 9, noting, “I just don’t think that Cloud 9 New York should be taken like likely per se. Like I think they should be taken as a very serious competitor in this series right here.”
Morgan envisions a scenario where Cloud 9 takes a 2-0 lead, therefore forcing Atlanta FaZe to mount a comeback and reverse sweep. This prediction highlights the potential volatility of these matches and the resilience of the FaZe team.
The Unpredictability of Atlanta FaZe
A key theme throughout Morgan’s analysis is the unpredictable nature of Atlanta Faze’s performances. He observes, “You never know what you’re going to get out of line of phase. One week they might just absolutely suck at the next week. Boom. They blow up the damn waters with teams like LAG or Cloud Nine and go three zero and finish a series less than 30 minutes.”
This unpredictability adds an extra layer of excitement for fans and makes each match a must-watch event.
Key Takeaways for Atlanta FaZe
Based on Morgan’s analysis, here are the crucial points for Atlanta FaZe to focus on firstly:
1. Aggressive play in hard points: Emphasize capturing and holding points early.
2. Maintain momentum: Avoid falling behind and having to play catch-up.
3. Consistent performance: Strive for reliability across all matches, not just on main stages.
4. Respect all opponents: Even lower-ranked teams like LAG and Cloud 9 can pose threats if underestimated.
