Oh, did I mention I'll be over 1000 miles closer to Germany for this Ladle? I left California because my ping was too high. I have a feeling the "slightly weaker" uNk team will do juuuust fiiiiine. ;)

My predictions, based on my possibly poor perception of the grid and its modern teams due to my inactivity - copied from my post @ http://www.unaclan.smfnew.com/index.php?topic=454.0:

""
Ladle 41 brackets have been posted at http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php?title=Ladle/Challenge_Board! Time for predictions and discussion!

This Ladle will be, initially, quite intense! uNa will pull off two major upsets to make it to the Quarter Finals; SP Will have 3 teams in the semi finals, two of which will be facing each other – not to mention this will grant them 3/4 seeds! And while I don't predict it, this leaves open the possibility that the finals will be one SP team facing off against another! But unfortunately, this will all build up to an anti-climactic Championship, in which the team who has won the top of the brackets, be it R or CTA, will have a decisive victory.

Opening Round:

DS (1) vs TX (2) [a deceptively difficult match for TX - I've seen some of the DS guys recently, and they are not nearly as disorganized or inactive as people may perceive]
uNa (2) vs Pru (1) [the first of uNa's two upset victories this ladle – uNa has been practicing intensely recently, and I haven’t seen enough of Pru to believe they’re a big threat, though the server advantage will help them win a match]

Sweet Sixteen:

CTA (2) vs TX (0) [a bit shaken by the opening match, TX will face an impossible round 2]
Rogue (2) vs uNk.Team (1) [this will could be close, but I give R the win based on how frequently I see large numbers of their players practicing]
YIDG (1) vs CTB (2) [Liz has a strong team, but I don’t see her team – which seems to number 5 right now – taking on players such as MB53 or Empha; but the lag will be entertaining!]
ID (0) vs SP (2) [what is possibly Tron’s friendliest team simply won’t stand a chance in this match-up, especially due to the German server]
Team.uNk (2) vs Tu (1) [this will be a deceptively difficult match for uNk – Tu has their stuff together, and will pick up at least one match win against uNk like they did vs SP in Ladle 39; and while I don’t expect Tu to win, I would not eliminate that as a possibility – definitely a fight worth watching!]
SP Sunshine (2) vs Still Alive (0) [I have seen some of these SP players on the grid a great deal recently, and have not seen too many of the SA sumo players - though I’ll admit I’m not too familiar with the SA team]
Mixed Dark (0) vs SP ASL (2) [a quick victory for this SP team who, while they don’t have much experience together, have been practicing a great deal individually recently]
uNa (2) vs Oracle (0) [uNa learned a great deal in their defeat against Oracle last week, and will not be making similar mistakes – the matches will be close, but uNa, now better prepared for the German lag, firmly wins 2-0 against this rather disorganized team; uNa’s second and final upset victory this Ladle]

Elite Eight:

CTA (2) vs R (1) [this match is a complete toss up, and I give CTA the victory because simply because I trust they’ve prepared like crazy to tie the “Win Three Ladles in a Row” record of SP – but I will say now, in deja-vu of Ladle 34: whichever team wins this match will win the Ladle, regardless of how the rest of the brackets play out]
CTB (0) vs SP (2) [this CTB team is stronger than it has been in the past, but simply won’t be able to take on SP]
Team.uNk (0) vs SP Sunshine (2) [this SP team is quite the force to be reckoned with, and Team.uNk, a bit shaken by its fight with Tu, will find itself prematurely eliminated from the Ladle]
SP ASL (2) vs uNa (0) [uNa’s victory streak comes to an end here, facing off against this deceptively, but now well proven, tough SP team]

Final Four:

CTA (2) vs SP (0) [definitely going to be a great match – almost definitely more intense than the finals - with SP racing to prevent CTA from tying their three-in-a-row record; based on what I’ve seen of these teams on the grid, I give CTA a definite advantage]
SP Sunshine (2) vs SP ASL (1) [a close match between two relatively evenly matched teams skill-wise – but SP Sunshine’s greater experience as a team will give them a firm advantage]

Championship:

CTA (2) vs SP Sunshine (0) [this match will be a decisive victory for either CTA or R – whichever one makes it to the top slot in the brackets; while Sunshine looked unbelievably strong to this point, they simply won’t stand a chance against the well-rehearsed CTA team, who will now have tied SP’s three wins in a row streak]

My prediction:

FINAL

Finally two teams promoting joy, peace and harmony meet in the finals. Unfortunately DS have the edge and demolish SP.



C'monnnn, enough of sticking your team in the finals and winning!
