hm if you say so, first predictions so they will fail

Opening Round:

Team.uNk(2) vs. Swift(0) - Titan can't win alone and I haven't seen syre and bilbo on lately
Revolver(2) vs. uNa(0) - hmmmmmm
CTA(2) vs. RoadRunnerz(0) - Run as fast as you can!
CTB(0) vs. _~Rogue Tronners~_(2) - The B Team won't have good chances here.
Twi¦×¦ted ¦×¦ats (2) vs. Open Team(0) - hmmmmmmm
Cool Trainers(2) vs. \\MeetYourMaker (0) - The ex-mym team will eventually win a match ( if I knew who is playing for them...) because of the US server. But after the Sp/unk mix is organised they won't get stopped that easy.
Xenocide(0) vs. Speedhax(X) - Bye nearly wins here, but the speeders will start to hax...
Team Elite(0) vs. Pure Luck(2) - With the last three matchups in my mind, I can't give 3t a chance here.

Quarter Finals
Team.uNk(0) vs. Revolver(2) - Revolver has an awesome roster with perhaps the best individual players. Unk has no subs and some of there best players aren't playing for them but with the experince as a team they will still be a strong opponent, but not strong enough
CTA(2) vs. Rogue Tronners(1) - "A very even matchup, if it were in a US sever I would have picked R to win it." - Elmo
Twi¦×¦ted ¦×¦ats (0) vs. Cool Trainers(2) - Not even with the server advantage will this tx team win. The new sweepers on tx's team will not be ready to sweep against Cool Trainers attackers.
Speedhax(0) vs. Pure Luck(2) - Those guys are just too lucky...

Semi Finals
Revolver(2) vs. CTA(1) - This really depends on how good the Revolver team can already work together. I think after having an easy match against una followed by two hard matches against unk they will be ready to reach the finals in their first ladle! gz...
Cool Trainers(2) vs. Pure Luck(1) - After having lost two times in a row in the semis while playing 5vs6, Pure Luck will be finally able to have a full team in the semis. This matchup could go either way but I belive that the winner of it will win the ladle.

Finals
Revolver(0) vs. Cool Trainers(2) - Two awesome matches but like the Miami Heats, Revolver won't be able to win their first ladle.

I'm sorry, it's late and I'm tired

#1 - Cool Trainers - Combine the best players from unk and speeders and you get an active and highly skilled team with pokemon themed names (a huge plus!). Insa locks down defense obviously, with FoFo and Nubi easily offing the attackers that do try to take a crack at him. Potter will man center, probably making some aggressive plays at some point, but mainly just locking it down and getting ready to attack along with slash and elmo. Anyone else notice the unk attack, speeders defense setup on this team? They'll be a serious contender, and this is the team to beat this ladle.

#2 - Revolver - These first two teams have emerged out of nowhere in the past month to become the top 2 most likely to win. I feel like this one is slightly less skilled than the first one, but they are definitely still going to be a serious contender. A lot of varying setups can occur here, but it looks like dlh will man the defense, with olive and xyron sweeping him. Concord, Hoax, and Dreadlord will pose a serious threat on the attacking side, as all three of them can come away with deadly cuts and get rid of opposing sweepers easily. I see this team as slightly less active than the first one, however, and that will ultimately hurt them in their performance.

#3 - Rogue Tronners - R has made a complete turnaround and become a very amazing squad the past ladle. Luffy remains an amazing defender as always (how are you not bored of that yet?), while Poke refuses to die when sweeping him. Red is certainly unneeded, but attempts to sweep as well. Over is one of the best centers currently, and anyone who is not prepared against him will certainly piss their defense off during the match. Also helping on the attack is Lackadaisical, who we'll hopefully see some lack attack cuts from. Shoe has also increased his activity greatly and has become a solid attacker, who will provide support for the previous two.

#4 - Twixted Xats - I don't care if you think I'm biased, but Tx upset Ct last ladle (I don't care about the server!!!!), and has a good lineup set for this ladle despite what everyone has been saying. 75 is a consistent defender when he is not lagging badly, and with the addition of Eckz and Kijutsu to sweep for him, the defending end of the match won't be a problem. Durka is durka, and roter may be a troll and an asshole to some people, but he's still a pretty good attacker. Vein is also an increasingly good player who will jump in when the team needs him.

#5 - Crazy Tronners - They went from the top team to one of the last teams, but they are still an amazing group of players. Woned has been one of the best centers for a long time, and wap has become one of the best overall tronners in recent months, especially in sumo. Cronix and Gazelle are always getting better at their sweeping roles and overall skill. Zap and MB are also amazing attackers who are amazing at harassing the defender without dying, also bringing in some great home run cuts from time to time. If the servers allow them to, this team will end up deep in the tournament.

#6 - Pure Luck - Vov is a crazy bastard, what can I say? The other guys like zat, algid, sylla, Eber, koala, fini, kriki, and slick are good as well, and I'm not familiar with their normal lineup, but any of those guys could play and they'd perform relatively well in the tournament.

Cronix' very late predictions.... outlay made by slick :D ... yeh i was lazy making my own one.. i have to play MW3 before ladle :s

Opening Round:
Team.uNk(2) vs. Swift(0)
uNk lost Elmo potter and slash, but they still are very powerful. Swift might pull out a surprise, but I do not really think so.

Revolver(2) vs. uNa(0)
Bleh.

CTa(2) vs. RoadRunnerz(0)
o.o

CTB(0) vs. _~Rogue Tronners~_(2)
I wish CTB would win, but they wont.

Twi¦×¦ted ¦×¦ats (2) vs. Open Team(0)
Oh some player transfers went on. Fact is: TX was winning coz Xy and olive were sweeping for them. Now both are not... Lets see how far they will make it without Sander and Sandor.

Cool Trainers(2) vs. \\MeetYourMaker (0)
Insa is obsessed with Pokemon. And so are the rest. A very much weaker mYm force aint stop them.

Xenocide(0) vs. Speedhax(2)
The rest of SP is playing here.

Team Elite(0) vs. Pure Luck(2)
Compguy fixed his server!!! <33

Quarter Finals
Team.uNk(0) vs. Revolver(2)
Pretty much that. uNk is strong, but they will realize that they miss Potter and slash and elmo :(

CTa(2) vs. Rogue Tronners(1)
Like over said. Whoever wins this wins all. And time to be biased :D Over told me I always pick CTA to win. Well might be my self confidence :D

Twi¦×¦ted ¦×¦ats (1) vs. Cool Trainers(2)
Insa throws a pokeball on TX and catches them all. But TX has homeserver advantage. So they will win one.

Speedhax(0) vs. Pure Luck(2)
As long as Vov plays this is clear.

Semi Finals
Revolver(1) vs. CTa(2)
Oh god... they have more individual skill than R i guess, but Ladle is a team tournament. So this should be doable for CTa.

Cool Trainers(2) vs. Pure Luck(1)
Vov 1080 too much, but wins one match with PL. Insa will swear a bit in polish.

Finals
CTa(2) vs. Cool Trainers(1)
Insa gets distracted by 11x11, but continues defending somehow. In the end he will rage against the web browser, because his 11x11 team sux :D
Signature? wtf...
