Highlander Bracket Contest

As part of The Highlanders $1020 prize pool, $100 is set aside to go to you; the community. While there are countless competitions we could have chosen for you to participate in to win $100, we decided that the classic bracket contest would be the best. So here's the deal. Attached to the bottom of this post you will find the Highlander bracket in a very pretty form (thanks Pachi!). Simply take that bracket and signal very clearly who is going to advance from each round of the tournament. Easy right?
Since the $100 must be given away, if no one predicts the bracket 100% correct then the next closest person will win the prize. By "closest" all you need to know is that getting the higher rounds correct (players and winners) is weighted more than the earlier rounds. If two people score the same, then the prize will be split between the two. The winner of the bracket contest will be announced at the end of the tournament.
How do I enter?
1) Save the bracket found at the bottom of the page to your harddrive (right click the link, choose save link as or alternatively click on the link and right click the image and save it)
2) Open the bracket in any image editor program (such as Paint)
3) Clearly draw onto the bracket the results from each round
4) Save the resulting image and upload it somewhere (e.g. imageshack, photobucket)
5) Send a PM to Bracket Contest with your entry
6) If you don't get a response back do not worry, I am a cold heartless machine
ANY ENTRY THAT IS NOT PM'D TO BRACKET CONTEST WILL NOT BE A VALID ENTRY
Happy guessing!!

I picked Fenix to beat Idra in the finals. It will be the SECOND time our favorite "foreigner" comes in second to a certain cheesy toss this summer.
+ Show Spoiler +I would have spoilered that, especially considering it doesn't happen for two days, but you'll all assume I can't really predict the future, so it's fine.

I was thinking of the same final but I think Dreiven will take it. WCG Poland is coming soon. Polish power will show itself this tournament.

After watching replays of Deska tonight, Im compelled to pick him as the winner. That kid is jaw-dropping for a foreigner.

No way to quickly code something into TL to just submit picks there instead of the described way? As well, where is the extra $20 going to? 700 for first, 100 each for two plays, 100 for brackets, anddd

Got my entry in. Picked Shauni as the unlikely winner ... haha. If he does win I will probably get the $100 guaranteed because no one else is likely to pick him as the winner with this very solid field.

Even if Machine somehow beats JF (because Dreiven WILL NOT beat him), I can't see Dreiven beating Brat_Ok or Advokate. Maybe if all three of them get upset?

oh no why does Lz have to play ret :/

I think I have decent chances of getting to quarters... but I'd face Idra there in a bo5 and my pvt is abysmal so my chances of winning are very very slim.
