 |
|
So... with the current disruption in our leagues.. I think things'll will be a BIT different than I originally anticipated...
League A1 -
Prelims:
Challenge: 8. DarkKnight720 vs. 9. Deschain
Winner: 8. DarkKnight720
Reasoning: These two are either REALLY close in their scores or on polar opposite ends.. but I think Darky's gonna pull it.
Challenge: 5. Zhylliolom vs. 12. tpalkki
Winner: 5. Zhylliolom
Reasoning: In ever week Zhy has been the victor over these two.. I don't see that changing
Challenge:11. machchunk vs. 6. Jaksiel
Winner: 6. Jaksiel
Reasoning: On the really difficult songs Jaksiel usually beats mach by quite a bit and on the easier songs it's usually really close... I could see this one going either way.
Challenge:10. stubbscroll vs. 7. JayHL
Winner: 10. stubbscroll
Reasoning: These two are SUPERCLOSE.. one's 376th and the other is 324th... this could go either way.. but right now stubb is doing better on wrench.
Quarter-Finals:
Challenge: 1. HylianHero vs. 8. Deschain
Winner: 1. HylianHero
Reasoning: Pretty close match, but while I'd pull for D, I'd bet on HH.
Challenge: 4. byoon vs. 5. tpalkki
Winner: 4. byoon
Reasoning: While tpalkki is supposedly mr. upset... I see byoon pulling this one out.
Challenge: 6. Jaksiel vs. 3. buttfaceninja
Winner: 6. Jaksiel
Reasoning: Jaks DA MAN! Come on.. I know you got this!
Challenge: 7. JayHL vs. 2. uwic
Winner: 2. uwic
Reasoning: I'm calling uwic to keep up with this run.
Semi-Finals:
Challenge: 1. byoon vs. 2. Deschain
Winner: 2. Deschain
Reasoning: I've pulled against him LONG enough. He proves me wrong EVERY damn time.. so for once I'm gonna pull for my fellow Texan to make it to the finals!!!
Challenge: 4. Jaksiel vs. 3. JayHL
Winner: 4. Jaksiel
Reasoning: I think this will be SICKENINGLY close, but with Jaksiel just a TAD ahead.
Finals:
Challenge:
Winner:
Reasoning:
============================================================
League A2 -
Prelims:
Challenge: 8. Maskahu vs. 9. Rockoutdave
Winner: 9. Rockoutdave
Reasoning: These two are really close in the Leagues.. but in overall comparison LIGHT YEARS apart... but even though RockOutDave is WAYYYY behind in rank.. I think he'll pull it out.
Challenge: 5. Th30ddOne vs. 12. CycloneVM
Winner: 5. Th30ddOne
Reasoning: Unfortunately this is just too big of a gap... The0 takes it by far.
Challenge: 11. Dynasty99 vs. 6. youhas
Winner: 11. Dynasty99
Reasoning: Dynasty99 would've been ranked higher IF ONLY he had actually posted some scores on Week 4... this should be close but I'm calling the D-MAN.
Challenge: 10. DrDood vs 7. Drock2525
Winner: 10. DrDood
Reasoning: Man this one is a tight race... I'd like to see this one live because it should be CLOOOOOSE!
Quarter-Finals:
Challenge: 1. sunshine vs. 7. Rockoutdave
Winner: 1. sunshine
Reasoning: Ranked number one overall? Come on now... that's just NOT FAIR, lol.
Challenge: 4. Drazar vs. 5. Th30ddOne
Winner: 5. Th30ddOne
Reasoning: Theo's been pretty consistent and I see him making a run for the finals.
Challenge: 8. youhas vs. 3. Drummer54321
Winner: 3. Drummer54321
Reasoning: 3 vs. 8? I've gotta go with #3.
Challenge: 6. DrDood vs. 2. backinblack167
Winner: 2. backinblack167
Reasoning: I'm not too sure on this one, but I'm gonna go with BiB.
Semi-Finals:
Challenge: 1. sunshine vs. 2. Th30ddOne
Winner: 1. sunshine
Reasoning: Dammit.. I was looking for a sunshine vs. Theo finals.. but man this is gonna be a TOUGH one.
Challenge: 4. Drummer54321 vs. 3. backinblack167
Winner: 3. backinblack167
Reasoning: Not too sure on this one... but I'm gonna stick with BiB, he's proven me right so far.
Finals:
Challenge:
Winner:
Reasoning:
============================================================
League A3 -
Prelims:
Challenge: 8. MasterAce vs. 9. Cipher279
Winner: 8. MasterAce
Reasoning: This is another REALLY close match... Cipher closed the gap behind MasterAce in week 4 with a high amount of points for the week and nearly winning one song whereas Master had kind of a down week... I think Cipher might win this.. but my gut says Master will pull it out.
Challenge: 5. Alakaiser vs. 12. ejbadger
Winner: 5. Alakaiser
Reasoning: COME ON KAISSAAAA! I wanna play you later on.. so you have to win this one, lol.
Challenge: 11. Priddo vs. 6. DANiMALxMD
Winner: 11. Priddo
Reasoning: This one's close... but I see Priddo pulling out a win.
Challenge: 10. superman vs. 7. NIUDrew
Winner: 7. NIUDrew
Reasoning: This one is gonna be SUUUUUPER close! I don't know... just a guess here.
Quarter-Finals:
Challenge: 1. lorok vs. 8. Cipher279
Winner: 1. lorok
Reasoning: 1 vs. 8? Not even close.
Challenge: 4. Jikkir vs. 6. Alakaiser
Winner: 6. Alakaiser
Reasoning: Goooooooo KAISSSSAAA! 
Challenge: 5. DANiMALxMD vs. 3. ellijos5
Winner: 3. ellijos5
Reasoning: Could be close... but then again maybe not..
Challenge: 7. NIUDrew vs. 2. CloudFuel
Winner: Dude.. I can't vote on this one.
Reasoning: No Comment.
Semi-Finals:
Challenge: 1. lorok vs. 3. Alakaiser
Winner: 3. Alakaiser
Reasoning: GOOOOO KAAAAISSSAAA!
Challenge: 3. ellijos5 vs. 2. CloudFuel

Reasoning: No Comment

Hahaha, Cloud. I'll be sure to make it to face you in a BATTLE OF EPIC PROPORTIONS.
I'm expecting you or lorok to take it all, with Jikkir being a potential upset later on.
I haven't followed A1 or A2 very closely, although I think Hylian is way ahead in A1, IIRC.

Thanks for the support Cloud 
I plan on making a run into the playoffs of A1 (With Hylian in my way of course   )...
Round One:
Challenge: 8. DarkKnight720 vs. 9. Deschain
Winner: 8. DarkKnight720
Reasoning: I'm confident in my score this week already...
Challenge: 5. Zhylliolom vs. 12. tpalkki
Winner: 12. tpalkki
Reasoning: First upset in A1 this season, tpalkki has a real shot here IMO.
Challenge:11. machchunk vs. 6. Jaksiel
Winner: 6. Jaksiel
Reasoning: I don't see machchunk winning this one, sorry.
Challenge:10. stubbscroll vs. 7. JayHL
Winner: 7. JayHL
Reasoning: I was really worried about going up against JayHL, but the brackets changed. But my opinion on the outcome stands, I believe JayHL will prove himself this week.
Round Two:
============================================================
League A2 -
Round One:
Challenge: 8. Maskahu vs. 9. Rockoutdave
Winner: 8. Maskahu
Reasoning: 8th Seeders FTW!
Challenge: 5. Th30ddOne vs. 12. CycloneVM
Winner: 5. Th30ddOne
Reasoning: Well, I believe we will see Th30ddOne deep in the playoffs.
Challenge: 11. Dynasty99 vs. 6. youhas
Winner: 11. Dynasty99
Reasoning: I don't know why, but I'll take the underdog here, both are evenly matched.
Challenge: 10. DrDood vs 7. Drock2525
Winner: 7. Drock2525
Reasoning: Don't know much about either of them, but I'm going with the higher seeded person (Drock)
Round Two:
============================================================
League A3 -
Round One:
Challenge: 8. MasterAce vs. 9. Cipher279
Winner: 8. MasterAce
Reasoning: Again, 8th Seeders FTW!
Challenge: 5. Alakaiser vs. 12. ejbadger
Winner: 5. Alakaiser
Reasoning: If Kaiser gets some self-confidence (  ), I don't think there is any way that ejbadger could win this.
Challenge: 11. Priddo vs. 6. DANiMALxMD
Winner: 6. DANiMALxMD
Reasoning: Higher seed will take this one.
Challenge: 10. superman vs. 7. NIUDrew
Winner: 7. NIUDrew
Reasoning: I have no idea of either...but I'll say that NIU wil pull it out.

The gap is certainly large - but I'm definitely going to make Th3OddOne earn his advancement!

Don't worry. I probably will lose, as I'm a complete failure at re-FCing anything but the easiest songs (Soy Bomb, HSB, etc.).
If I do happen to beat him, though, I'll probably get my teeth kicked in through my ass by buttface anyway. |

Umm... Yeah.. I feel just like youhas... haha
Well, win or lose, this league has been awesomely fun, and my scores have rocketed across the board! I'm just excited I made it to the playoffs! GL everyone...
Oh yeah, and if I do win this first round, I would just get obliterated in the second by lorok, but we'll see...  |

Oh, I'm sure you will. I mean, for being the lower seed, you've got a higher overall SH rank than I do. I'm just banking my hopes on the "any given song could go either way" principle. (That and the hope that my crappy small hands do not explode from trying to play that many GO chords in a given evening, I suppose.  )

Thanks for the support.
I'm pretty sure I'll screw it up somehow though.
