GameBattles competition seems to be coming down to the final weeks before the playoffs hit, and we should see a multitude of games coming in from teams that want to place well enough to get into the playoff brackets.

Here are a few of the best looking matches for the week, as GotFrag DPad will be keeping a close eye on them.

N/-\/\/\|_ESS > The Aces
Thursday, September 13 @ 9:00pm EST

After a no-show by The Aces, N/-\/\/\|_ESS has another win under their belt. In what seems like a normal event, no-shows are still frowned on upon the community in the forums. There, you can see bashing of teams that don't show up to matches which kind of puts them in a negative spotlight. I believe there should be harsher punishments than just points lost if a team doesn't show up. A forfeit is one thing but a no-show wastes everyone's time.

N/-\/\/\|_ESS New Ranking: 166th
The Aces New Ranking: 74th



Mr. PC Fix eNVy < Howie Mandel Touched Me!
Friday, September 14 @ 12:15am EST

It seems that Howie Mandel Touched Me! No, just kidding. In reality, Howie Mandel Touched Me! has swept straight through Mr. PC Fix eNVY in three straight games. Although they had host for the first two games, Howie Mandel Touched Me! did not have host for the last match on Mansion. After two straight map wins, it looks as though with host or not, they had already done the damage on Mr. PC Fix eNVy's morale as they took that map as well.

Howie Mandel Touched Me! New Ranking: 109th
Mr. PC Fix eNVy New Ranking: 200th



xxTRUExx KILLAS > DarkSide
Sunday, September 16 @ 7:45pm EST

Prior to this match, DarkSide had lost their first two matches in GameBattles which may have stopped them from having a lot of faith. xxTRUExx KILLAS was already an established team, which could have caused their demise. Taking the first two maps very strongly, xxTRUExx KILLAS could not take Old Bones as the third map. Seeming to be their weakness, DarkSide then played again on xxTRUExx KILLAS host which most likely caused the host. Either that or DarkSide fell apart after knowing they had lost the first two maps already.

xxTRUExx KILLAS New Ranking: 54th
DarkSide New Ranking: Unranked
