Great list. Time to do some bracketology since im bored.
01. NeoJenova
16. Stella
08. Thallen
09. Squirt
05. Ares
12. Zeldaguardian
04. Highlander
13. Chance
06. Quick Strike
11. Torrent
07. Deophite
10. Josh
03. Brett
14. Exodus
02. Halo
15. Pluto
FIRST ROUND
Top Half
1)NeoJenova vs 16)Stella
The 1 & 16 match up, is where we wont see any surprises, NJ is back and sparring he is one of the favorites to win this tourney.
Winner: Neojenova
8) Thallen vs 9)Squirt
This could go either way literally, toss up a coin and see what you get. Thallen is a very heady sparrer and Ill take him if it comes down to the last hit.
Winner: Thallen
5) Ares vs 12) Zeldaguardian
This is a very interesting match up. ZG will make you pay for a mistake, and Ive seen Ares wipe the floor with people pretty quick. Bracketology states to pick the 12 and if Ares gets lazy ZG will win.
Winner: Zeldaguardian
4) Highlander vs 13) Chance
If Chance gets hot, he could easily go to the semi's but I don't expect HL to have a letdown in the first round he will be fully prepared FTW.
Winner:Highlander
Bottom Half
6) Quick Strike vs 11) Torrent
Quick Strike lives up to his name, probably the 2nd fastest person on Graal but Torrent is hard to hit. Being hard to hit is essential in a tourney like this, saying all of that it should be a hard fought match and another toss up.
Winner: Torrent
7) Deophite vs 10) Josh
Hot off of a UTC win Deophite may be what some consider a hot pick. Josh is a nice sparrer who can score quick hits. In the end I expect Deo to continue his hotstreak.
Winner: Deophite
3) Brett vs 14) Exodus
If Brett was playing regularly he would be a favorite, but I doubt he will even be on. If he was he'd probably be rusty. Anyway Exodus is rated a little lower than I would like but either way I pick Exodus...(if Brett was more active I would probably pick him).
Winner: Exodus
2) Halo vs 15) Pluto
Halo....hmmm he went from being considered decent/good to great in about 4 months. I dunno if it was Wheaties or whatever but while the other great sparrers were gone or inactive he's made a name for himself. He's pretty much been probably the best sparrer in terms of big time wins over the last quarter year. I dunno how much Pluto plays still but I expect Halo to continue with what he is doing.
Winner: Halo |
