GomTV S4 MSL Bracket Contest

February 2

UrASofty fell out of grand prize contention with the loss of Hwasin. He did manage to get all seven other predictions correct though, a feat shared only by Alethios who predicted July to defeat UpMagic. 11 Others managed to get six out of eight predictions correct.

On the other end of the spectrum, everyone at least managed to get one correct pick, so no one's bracket was a complete zero. Only one person missed as many as seven, who I won't call out directly.

Here are your current top contenders for the mensrea No-Prize:
7pts UrASofty
7pts Alethios
6pts AceVentura
6pts Camlito
6pts CrAwLinG[F2F]
6pts Enrique
6pts iloveHieu
6pts Jonoman92
6pts melch
6pts Motiva
6pts Naib
6pts Pressure
6pts Seraphim

The first half of the Round of Sixteen has been decided. With the upset of Sea's loss, only twenty brackets were left in contention for the grand prize. When Kal won, the correct brackets were reduced down to eleven. Jangbi's win only eliminated three more participants. However, after the completion of the fourth game, only one brackets remains.

UrASofty correctly predicted Light, Kal, JangBi and UpMagic to advance out of the round of sixteen. He will be cheering on Jaedong, Hwasin, Nada and Mind to advance on February 2nd.

Sixteen others managed to guess three out of four correct choices. While twenty-two of you scored a whopping zero points from the first four matches. Four out of four matches turned out to be upsets as less than half of you correctly predicted any one outcome.

I'll be back to update on February 2nd to see if UrASofty is still in contention to take my money. I will also post everyone's scores up to that point and have a look at the standings for the mensrea No-Prize.

January 24

Submissions will no longer be accepted. There are 122 people with brackets submitted for the contest.

Of the 122 Entrants, nearly half (60) predicted Jaedong to be the GomTV S4 MSL Champion. Anytime had the second most with 16.

110 of you picked Jaedong to beat Luxury in the Round of 16, the largest range of any of the eight matchups.

Hwasin and Flash was the closest of the Round of 16 matchups with 58-64 in favor of Flash.

Orion was the only player no one predicted to be the champion. Shine, Jangbi and Luxury were each picked only once.

January 22

The Rules:

Edit this nicely made bracket (thanks pachi!), put it on an image hosting site, and PM it to me before the MSL Ro16 Week1 this Thursday (Jan 24). I am only considering ones I get via PM, so even if you post it here, you must PM your official entry to me. Each person only gets one entry, and once I get your bracket via PM your entry is final.

If someone gets the bracket completely right, you will win $100. This doesn't happen often (actually nobody has ever gotten one entirely right), so kudos to you if you make it happen. In the event of a tie, tiebreaker rules will be added if and when they need to be applied. After the Round of Sixteen I will determine whether or not a tie is possible and determine where to go from there.

Thanks to Hot_Bid for the format from last season.

I will also be participating to defend my $100. This is my bracket:
+ Show Spoiler +

PLEASE BE SURE TO SEND VIA PM. I will not count those posted only in the thread

The most accurate bracket will be determined this way:
Ro16 - 1 point
Ro8 - 2 points
Semis - 4 points
Finals - 8 points

The most accurate will get fame, fortune and women (or men) and the extremely coveted mensrea No-Prize.

Good Luck!

None taken. I'm pretty sure it is absurd, but there are likely going to be upsets somewhere. There are players I predicted to lose that I would rather win.

I do stand by my bracket though. I like it and will not be convinced that it should have been different.
