team#1 vs team#2, I'm going with team#1
reason: I think they have a better overall team, go team wunder!

team#3 vs team#4, I'm going with team#3
reason: Again, I think they have the better team and learning today that coheed cannot be a captain changes the leadership roles for team#4. Can team#4 get organized enough by the time of the match to be ready to take on the other team?

**voLcanasm** · 02-16-13, 07:33 PM

I think team #3 will be a tough group for any match.

i voted team #1, but I think that has potential to be a great matchup

**huh?** · 02-16-13, 08:24 PM

Don't forget, dmasteR is P250 only. Also, that's if he can make it without schedule conflict with his other matches. I am rooting for Team #2.

**SenSeiFAR** · 02-16-13, 10:32 PM

DMaster has been playing GO non stop since BETA.

Kaido needs to be drunk.

**iLLusioN** · 02-17-13, 12:30 AM

Voting teams 2 and 3

I think 3 will be one of the better teams in the tourney...Kaido and naeroK will tear shit up...

1 vs. 2 I think dmaster and petrichor kind of cancel each other out. I think the rest of team 2 is slightly stronger than the rest of team 1. I expect this to be a very close match...2-3 round difference. If blonde had been playing more CS than he has, I would give the nod to team 1...but I expect he'll have some rust to knock off before he gets into his groove later on in the tourney.

FWIW my prediction for the final is team 6 vs 8 with 6 edging out 8 for the title. Semi-final will be teams 1,3,6,8.

**Mango_Attack** · 02-17-13, 02:40 AM

Team 2 and 3.

Petrichor is the superior player and B can be known to pull some shit out of his sac.

Three, Kaido has some experience and is probably going to be the top shooter.

I voted 1 and 3.

Team 1 because I see more consistent players on that roster, whereas Team 2 seems more like a sleeper team in general. This match up is definitely going to be a close match, just really depends on how well Team 2's coordination is.

Team 3 because Team 4 just lost their captain, and Kaido Naerok Duo spells trouble

**Wunder** · 02-18-13, 08:40 AM

I think the team 1 Vs 2 Match will be an interesting match-up... Keep in mind, I know affinity's nuke strat's [=

There is going to be a lot of guessing and trickery involved... Should be fun.
