Predictions EMS week 1
H2k-Gaming vs 
They Kick Ass
taken: 4 - 0 Both teams came through pretty easy qualifiers and have never met in any official match, still H2k have a very strong lineup and should take this match on the paper. But there is room for upsets and I dont really know TKA at all, so would be ignorant not leaving them a chance.
Hentai: h2k vs TKA will be an easy game for h2k, having picked up the game with dramatic speed, and pushing straight to the top. 4-0 for h2k
Team-Dignitas vs 
Team SPEED-LINK
taken: 4 - 0 Dignitas is coming into this match as huge favourites, even when Speed-Link is one of the strongest teams in Europe and should take this match without big problems in my eyes. Again not leaving room for upsets is stupid and Speed-Link got a bad seed for this tournament and ended in the group of death (Dignitas-H2k-SL-TKA) so they might be able to prove me wrong, I wouldnt be sad!
Hentai: Dignitas vs speedlink is questionable, as despite the fact that speedlink are a particularly strong team, they're no match for dignitas. 4-0 for dignitas
Team Pelit vs 
Inferno eSports
taken: 4-0 Pelit is another strong team and was seeded as number 2 in the EMS and should have no problems taking down lesser known Inferno eSports. The Italiens really need to dig themselves down if they want to stand a chance versus the fins in this one.
Hentai: Team pelit vs inferno is no problem for pelit - finnish stars will roll over the italians with no trouble. 4-0 for pelit
EYEBALLERS vs raGe
taken: 4-0 I dont really know raGe that well, but they have qualified for both OC playoffs and EMS and that should prove that they arent pushovers. Still I think EYE will be stronger on any maps and predict a clear victory for EYE.
Hentai: EYE hosting some of the stronger individuals in the game, and having a particularly strong show vs ocrana recently have certainly got pressure from expectations on their back now. 4-0 for EYE
Kompaniet vs 
nextlevel e-sports club
taken: 2-2 Another top match this week and this is maybe the closest in my eyes and the hardest to predict as I havnt played kompaniet for ages and know nextlevel is practicing hard. If kompaniet has been getting enough good practice they should take it, if not I think it will be very even.
Hentai: Kompaniet, amongst the best in europe have yet to prove themselves with strong results since their comeback. The spaniards may surprise, but still 4-0 for kompaniet
Team Delta vs Random Gaming
taken: 4-0 This one is simple for me. Delta is really good and I dont know random gaming at all. Random Gaming might prove to be a wolf in a sheep costume, but it would be a big upset if hey won this one.
Hentai: Delta will make random gaming feel like randoms. lol. 4-0 for delta
Four Kings vs 
Creativ
taken: 4-0 I could really copy paste what I wrote in the prediction of Delta vs Random. I know 4k and they are a very solid team, on the other hand I dont know Creativ at all. 4k should take this one without any trouble.
Hentai: The new 4kings team are expected to have no trouble from creativ, although they could surprise. 4-0 for 4k
OCRANA vs 
Team Infinity
taken: 2-2 OCRANA has been active for a while and is one of the German top teams at the moment, still I think this match will be very close as I have faith in Infinity. This match might very well decide which of these two teams got to the playoffs and I believe the Danes will setup a good fight and maybe tie this match. The safe bet here would still be 4-0 as OCR should be looked upon as favourites having more to show for and more experience.
Hentai: Ocrana, after disappointing play vs EYE and rumoured lineup trouble, i still expect will beat infinity based on experience and teamplay. I expect infinity to surprise none the less though. 4-2 for ocrana.
Last words
Would again thank everyone for taking the time answering my questions, hentai for his predictions and hentai again for helping me proofread.
Next week I will return with my list, I will continue with predictions (will try to get other people to do the same, hentai will return if he wants to) and I will take a look at the upcoming CB OC playoffs. And as pumu won the poll I have asked him to write in the next column, if he said yes will be revealed in the next Takens take. Stay tuned!
Btw Takens take isnt a trilogy, I just made the title up randomly.
