That is right TeamLiquidians, this is your chance to win some cash, and show everyone just how good your BW knowledge really is. Best of all, you can win a cool $100 in the process. Read on for details!
As you probably know, tomorrow is the date for the next CJ Superfight. In the latest edition of this event, each proteam will play in a single elmination bo1 tournament against the other teams. The last one standing is the big winner. For more information you can check out these threads:
Step 1 Save this image to your computer by right clicking and selecting save image... I'll wait until you do that.
Finished? Ok!
Step 2
Using the information from the links above, as well as your own cunning intellect, decide who will win each matchup. You must predict each matchup! Incomplete entries will not be accepted.
Step 3
Using MSPaint (start > accessories > paint) highlight who is going to win each matchup by using the line command and red ink. It is your responsibility to make it understandable, not mine to interpret it!
As example can be see here:
In addition, include your tl.net name on the bracket.
Step 4
Upload your picture using ImageShack, TinyPic, or any other free hosting site. If you need help with this... use google.
Step 5
PM me, Manifesto7 with the link to your bracket. Your prediction must be in thirty minutes before airtime (13:30 korean time, 20:30 tl time). No late entries will be accepted.
Prize Info
- The prize works two ways. Should someone accurately predict the entire bracket, they will recieve $100 US dollars. Otherwise, the person with the least amount of mistake will recieve $50.
- The prize can be paid preferably through pokerstars. However Paypal is also an option, as is currecny in the mail, although I prefer not to do this.
- Just like Highlander, there can be only one. If two or more people are successful at predicting the bracket, a winners tournament will be held, bo3 on the superfight maps. Winning members will be contacted for more details.
That's it. Also, no bullshit please. This is a contest purely out of my own pocket. Lousy behaviour will lead to lousy fun. I hope people also post their predictions here in the topic, and give their reasons!
They only have to win two games to make the finals, and hey have had some rest after their proleague defeat. The rebuilt Hanbit is simply too strong to stay down right now. I predict a Daezang rampage.
As for the rest, this is an event where the underschieving teams and less busy teams will come fully prepared. Perhaps they will catch the busier teams off guard, at least that is what I predict.
Badfriend will luck out a win on Arkanoid CJ will cheat its way through till finals NaDa will win an awesome game MBCGame's run will be stopped by the CJ cheaters Airforce will bomb Soul back into the 19th century I'm a SKT 1 fanboy, nothing to add Badass JJu will show us he isn't that noob after all, but SKT1 will stop Samsung eventually
My little story; eSTRO will have Up preform some Magic to defeat Ra; maps in his favor too Pantech will beat OGN, because their roster sucks; Soul will own the rust buckets in the Air Force KHAN will have stork own jaedong.. or jju will 4pool khans dominance over Lecaf CJ will have savior prepared for some upmagic annhilation MBC will have one of their fearsome 5 preapred for some ownage of Nada SKT will send Gorush to dispatch Soul Hanbit will have their 3 stars prepared to own Khan MBC will send pusan or bisu to own savior on arkanoid Janbit will send their star 3 to own SKT MBC will beat Hanbit! after an intense fight
I'm sorry but I can't really give any reason besides liking SKT1. I'm not following nearly as much programing as I did one year ago, so I'm not really aware of the current hosters. I know the rules of this superfight tho.
Round 1: 1. Estro doesn't have anyone to put on Arkanoid. KTF > Estro 2. Sparkyz B-team can't beat Rock on this map. Pantech > Sparkyz 3. I am going to assume Air Force is not good yet. Soul > Air Force 4. Lecaf is bad, and I'm a Samsung fan, going with Stork on this one. Khan > Lecaf
Quarterfinals: 1. KTF is no good and CJ has a lot of competent players. CJ > KTF 2. MBC will screw up somehow and Nada claims the win. Pantech > Hero 3. GoRush will play peaks the way he should have done against MBC. T1 > Soul 4. JJu 5-pools Daezang. Khan > Hanbit
Semifinals: 1. Silver will win, it's Arkanoid! Pantech > CJ 2. Zergman is cool as ice and dismantles his opposition on Arcadia II. Khan > T1
Finals: After a dissapointingly short game FireBatHero claims the win for Samsung!
Up has something up his sleeve I guess! Estro > KTF
OGN sending in their reserves, not good old skool trash won't touch NaDa! Pantech > OGN
Airforce hardly train compared to STKSoul, that's why I'm picking STX! STX > AIR
Samsung at the moment have 2 players on fire, FBH and ZergMan, and they also have Jju, too strong for Lecaf im afraid! Samsung > Lefaf
Quarter Finals!
eSTRO vs CJ, hmmm no comment, CJ have Savior, XellOs, Much and eSTRO have Up? You do the sums! CJ > ESTRO
Pantech have 1 player that's playing "ok" at this present time, MBC have a few! MBC > Pantech
STX vs SKT1, hmmm once again SKT1 have superior strength in every department, Midas > STX! sorry SKT1 > STX!!!
Samsung vs Hanbit, hmm tough one to call, but i've gone with Samsung as ZergMaN and FBH are both on fire at this present time! Samsung > Hanbit
Semi Final
CJ vs MBC.... Could be Light vs Much? I fancy Much. CJ > MBC
SKT1 vs Samsung! Midas on a macro map, too strong for Samsung sorry! SKT1 > Samsung
Final!
CJ vs SKT1, Midas vs Savior in the final, I can see it happening! I feel Midas will feel mentally handycapped after his crushing lost against Savipr in OSL, but my money's on CJ, who have the hottest player around! CJ > SKT1
IPX beats all @ Arkanoid, most of MBCs good players do good @ Arcadia, midas (please send midas) beats Airforce (unless boxer plays, then Airforce>all)
IPX beats all on gay map and jaedong beats SKT1.
Edit: its so gay that they let Arkanoid in the pool, would go with rA anytime but not on that map
I am the most optimistic KTF fan ever. (Reach will kill savior, yellow will rape light, sync will beat pusan tvp YEAH.) (I dunno, estro is pretty strong nowadays so...)
up looked pretty good on arkanoid vs fbh iirc, good enough to beat ktf. cant really see anyone on estro taking down iris/savior/much though. ogn's C lineup wont take out nada in any circumstances, but nada is going to be focusing on osl so even if he plays he wont put anything into it, any of mbc's 3/4 aces should have a good chance at winning it. cj vs mbc i dunno, they could both win but i like cj more. clon/boxer are more than enough for soul, but not for skt1. jaedong can get lecaf through samsung and hanbit, but he wont beat skt1 terrans and i dont think anytime would either.
basically CJ will roll through everyone because... they have savior and lots of arkanoid matches
KTF will beat estro but it will be a nice game (come on though, this is a showmatch, and KTF has the kings of showmatches, ra yellow reach SYNC baby, unfortunate they have to meet CJ early though) , ogn and pantech will also be nice but I think OGN can pull through although nothing would make me happier than seeing nada stomp through the tourney winner of that will have to face MBC game... whose players are on a roll, but right after they will lose to CJ
i'm counting on air force to at least beat soul, while SKT1 will also beat them lecaf/samsung/hanbit i think are all close but i'm calling lecaf over both of them, skt1 will triumph on that half of the bracket but once again, meeting CJ = death
basically since this tourney is completely bo1 and highly luck based it should be fun and i don't think anyone will be able to predict the bracket 100%
KTF somehow rocks eSTRO, because besides Up they are trash; CJ mangles KTF easily but MBC will probably beat them again; OGN will get crushed by Pantech probably, and then Pantech easily loses to MBC; SouL will beat AirForce (sucks to say it but only Boxer will win); SouL will easily lose to T1, who will then lose AGAIN to MBC in an epic final; Lecaf will crush awful Samsung and slumped-up Hanbit and then lose to T1

MBC has a losing record against Pantech... Maybe today MBC will look like they win but I dont think they'll win easily. I'll bet on Nada beating anyone in MBC on a 1v1 except maybe Bisu and Pusan. this superfight's format can abuse this too, nada can play as many times as he want.
pantech has a good record against mbc because their 2v2 used to be awesome and MBC's 2v2 used to be terrible
in this format i dont think anyone can touch MBC's 1v1 depth. the only chance for a loss is if CJ uses savior to ace the whole tournament which isnt really feasible
Explanation of brackets: I will stick a banana and a cheeseburger at the top of SKT and MBC's respective brackets, prompting Oov and July to win at all costs. When July attempts to steal Oov's banana, thousands will be injured in the resulting mayhem.
MacSama and Wasabi have the same bracket, so does Ram and Manifesto, as well as Locked and Nyovne. Everything else is unique. I want to see a Superfight for the money >_<

?? mani was still offering a prize to person with least mistakes
unless i mis-read the brackets (which is easy because i'm sleepy + was doing it fast) congratulations to zdd! .... and i guess some people PM'd without posting in the thread so whoever did that too and got 0/1/2 mistakes >_>
2 mistakes (the follow-ups would have been right) and i have no clue which team is good, who plays where and i didn't even look at the maps. basically i randomly painted red lines. everybody who has more should invert their picks next time. =p
Damn I'm crazy! I see KTF beating CJ! That's right! CJ! And the airforce will beat Soul! Hahaha, I've gone mad!
Seriously though, I see problems for teams with too many players in leagues. I like the airforce and KTF rosters to upset in the mid areas of the bracket. As others did, I see hanbit running away with the tournament due to a Daezang face smashing spree the likes of which we've never seen.
MBC will continue their dominent play due to the talent on the team, and CJ will be the big disappointment. You'll see. My bracket is so crazy it could actually happen!
sorry mana and cambium, the match was already over before I recieved your brackets. However cambium, good job on the only perfect prediction on tl.net!
Actually, zdd would have been the winner with only one mistake, but I didnt see his bracket (wasnt pmed) until after I have made the tourny up;; sorry sir.
Haha, worst thing is, I predicted CJ would be out in the first round and they won!
Glad I got this dumb betting out of the way so I can continue to do well in liquibet.
Thanks again for running this contest Mani. Putting up your own cash like that is a great gesture and shows how committed you are to keep the community excited about the scene.
