Does anyone know the status of sup, NOW and vR, and what about WWF's roster? I assume DM is also planning to have enough QP's too.

I'll pick rawr, sup, DM, AA, dP, NOW, vE and probably WWF. Would be nice to see KMD get a gold after being stonewalled by rawr so many time but it's bound to be another gimmicky, what the hell? mat.

[Sup] - I see pretty much dominating the MAT, very strong atm and with alot of other top guilds going through roster changes/reform I don't see anyone being able to challenge them for 1st.
[WWF] - Definitely see them in top4, will be surprised if they don't make it this month
[rawr] - With pounds gone, will be interesting to see how they play with a new monk, and new meta. No means have the 'unbeatable' tag on them anymore.
[KMD] - Def top 4 also, they need to get shit together as said before if they want to challenge for gold.
[Idle] - Will do well despite some doubts on peoples behalf, see them build warsing alot to make it to the top 8
[StP] - So many roster changes/struggles for a core, i see them in top 16, but not giving their best or worst showing.

With hexes being so strong, anyone has a chance to fill out top 16 this month, matches will be a damn side quicker as well. Look forward to not watching boring assed 28min matches of people taking/dealing no dmg. Even if it is every game featuring pink bars.

Does anyone know if [sup] is actually playing?
Or under what other name perhaps?

they still don't have their 20 qp tho ...

Evil Neato · Dec 19, 2008, 12:32 PM // 12:32

Assuming sup isn't going to have qp I'll go between these two across my accounts:

wwf
rawr
kmd
dp
idle
AA
vE
DM

-or-

wwf
kmd
rawr
idle
aa
dp
dm
ve

I won't be awake if they did get their qp in time to vote for them anyways. so whatev'.

shoogi · Dec 19, 2008, 01:07 PM // 13:07

Game is broken and imbalanced but mat is gonna be interesting because the meta is still pretty unstable so we might actually see surprising builds (anything but 6 sb/ri's in top 16)

The First Silvari · Dec 19, 2008, 06:56 PM // 18:56

1) rawr
2) wwf
3) sup
4) kmd
5) dp
6) AA
7) vE
8) DM

GL and Happy Holidays!!

This is what I've got so far. Hopefully I can get on again before registration closes:

1. [DM]
2. [Idle]
3. [KMD]
4. [dP]
5. [sup]
6. [vE]
7. [WWF]
8. AA (no brackets since I don't want to predict Air Attunement to place)

Haven't seen anything of AA, but I'm hesitant to put [rawr] on the list for some reason.

Switch out DM for rawr and you have a nice list. DM could potentially get top16 or maybe top8, but I don't see a repeat performance based on lack of practice and map rotation.

Eh? Breakdown? Oh... uh hang on.

Let's go with a crazy upset win because that's always bound to happen in these vulnerable post-patch times.

DM - because it'd be funny if they won
KMD - because they'd be mad if they lose to DM
sup - because they're standard good, but we're looking at a comical situation here
WWF - because they're standard good but we're looking at a comical situation here
rawr - because we'll trail behind the Euros
dP - because they're standard good but still feel like they're missing something
Everyone here down is random.

...don't base your predictions on mine; this is fairly random :P

Dmn, you Asp, you have been the Oracle in the last few preds!

Haven't put mine down yet, normally wait till the last minute, but I think we are all pretty much on par with sup, WWF, rawr and KMD featuring in top4 (last month couldn't possibly repeat itself

)

The last 4 I will probably choose from either Idle, DM, AA, NOW, StP, vE, mad, DirT and some other randoms.

Anyone expecting anything from Mo? They appear to be a SPNV / HAnD reform???
Tho their pings and conns might not be the greatest, which always nails them in the end...

Massive Impulsa · Dec 20, 2008, 01:28 PM // 13:28

Well mine is pretty random, just putted the best ranked guilds atm on the list:P - Whit the Hexmeta, etc u never know

Also i did put Mo on 8th i think, just to have an asian guild there :[]

Ego · Dec 20, 2008, 02:07 PM // 14:07

My predictions:

Noone will make Top 16 due to everyone lagging out and forfeiting before making it there.

Burton2000 · Dec 20, 2008, 03:34 PM // 15:34

My bets on AA to get top 4 this monthly.

Lydeck · Dec 20, 2008, 04:13 PM // 16:13

Care to elaborate on those guild names for someone like me who doesn't know what those abbrevations equate to on the Xulani House site?

......

Look at the guild latter, then inside the [] there are letters, that's the guild people are referring to.

Lycan Nibbler · Dec 20, 2008, 07:21 PM // 19:21

vE did the Snowball AT instead? wtf!

Looks like the tiebreak is going to cause heartbreak again this month.. AA out with a 3-3 though

Yep, WWF miss out on the tiebreak... think my preds are looking bad again this month
