Right boitches, it's time to see what the bookies think of this tournament. Huge heavyweight thing and i'll be making 10/10 predictions for the winner!
In these first matchups I think I think it's a safe bet to assume Oh will go to round 3, but I'm more shaky on Dom. Dom/Don fight will be interesting.
In the top 2 and the 2nd round game here I think the results are somewhat obvious. However, I'm predicting some upsets. I'm guessing that Andersault will slip up against Rodolfo and allow him to go on for another round, and Quicksand will be outplayed by FlyingBender, which will allow FB to get his strongest matchup for the next few rounds out of the way.
I see BIA making 2 successful upsets in the first round, and Legi+rakleader to go through to the third round against each other.
I wasn't exactly being nice to Hydra so far, and I will continue to not be (prove me wrong, guys! :D) - However, I'm expecting my awfully butchered spelling of Christopher's name to storm through, and even beat Onoma (it isn't a coin tournament, after all), and Turkish to successfully remove Bohemia by defeating Mirror 2nd round. Overall, a really heavy 8 players, though! Not a weak link to be seen.
This next one really reeks of bias. I totally don't want DanWales and Platinub to lose, and I totally don't favour Monkey Might and Semendevine o.O What are you talking about?!
My bias aside, I'm expecting some upsets here... or maybe it's all bias. Anyway, I'm expecting round 2 to have 2 boots: Nackickwind will stall past 2 days 23 hours 59 minutes, and Semice will get booted from 250 games at 1 time, causing mm and CONQ to proceed.
Firstly I'm expecting Bristolians Buns157 and dry-clean-only to make it past the first round, but unless a huge upset happens, I don't see dryclean beating Buns; I expect if he cares enough, he'll go far. Also predicting that DemHunt, who defeated THE KING OF KINGS, will have a win over Pedro, and that new recruits to WG, almost and smiley, will battle it out and end up with almosttricky making it to the third round.
Wow, talk about heavyweights! Summer's back, but not in her prime again, at least yet. I expect to see her go far. KKND vs culpa will be tough to call, but I think KKND will come out on top. Timinator and timon92 are almost guaranteed, and if 1 loses in the P/R league, here is the chance for redemption! I think timon, with the power of Poland will win both matches actually, but it's really hard to call. All I guess is that it will be a stall-a-thon for sure, and whoever wins, will probably be up against Summer next O_O
Another tough one! They keep coming. GreenTea and Verze both have tough first rounds, but if they end up fighting, it'll be a big highlight. I'm expecting Verze to pull through, to supplement his latest ladder run and go against his weaker performance in CL. In Verzehrer we trust. Below, Arkanton is using his alt ANT, and my guess is that he'll go to the third round as well o_x
Hmm, I have no clue what is going on in these matchups. I think this will happen, but most matches can go either way O_o
Really dense cluster of former and current VIW players, as well as Lynx guys. I know, I cheated because I was late with Hades and stuff ;_; (1 more game like this down the line). However I would've predicted this one anyway, luckily. I'm expecting AWOL to beat tommy, which I guess is an upset!
Markus will win 1st round. Another win for Oxidae. Markus will win 2nd round. Another win for Oxidae. I feel like Polakillo won't be able to beat Nox, and the guy from the Brazilian Poon Squad clan will be topped by an AHoL veteran.
I would *not* have expected HBB to drop his round 1 game. Regardless, I'm expecting ps to drop out and let Panagiotis take victory (#1stRoundLosses). Also expecting QB to retire but replace himself just in time to go ahead. Then, expecting JV to be in a winning position by round 3, and wait until he wins by default. Ultimately, I see the 2 Masters of these 8 having a faceoff at round 3.
I see Chromeo and The S<span class='burning'>hot</span>s facing it off at Round 2, with Chromeo going on to face 13CHRIS37. Not much to say.
More heavyweights! While overall Kantos probably has more skill than linberson, I feel like linberson is more motivated and active to take it over a rusty Kantos in round 1. I see linberson making a good impression on this tourney. Even my bias for Rikku can't place him above USA Biches, and I expect USA Biches to eliminate Muten Roshi 2nd round, due to Muten's overall weaker performance in other AWP tourneys (he got eliminated by Onoma94 :O)
If there's something I can rely on, it absolutely is my own nubbiness to ensure that I get at least 1 of these predictions correct. I'm expecting a slightly overrated EZPickens to drop his 1st game, and for Rob to storm the lower half, despite how much I butcher his name ;)
Finally, we see another concentration of strong players. Expecting Ven to have an upset victory over Oh Noes. Seeing MoD and MIFRAN to make it to the 3rd round, which I'm sure will be a highlight of the Grand Slam. Overall I expect to see MoD go very far, if he doesn't make a stupid mistake, or if Dr Walter Ego hasn't rigged the competition against him...
>_>

Ok now how many people actually read this? hehehehe :3 idk if I should do a 3rd round + beyond thingy but if more than 1 person actually enjoyed my gunk then mmmaybe. idek.
