Im rescinding everything I said about celebrities playoff chances because they have been practicing alot of different builds in observer. They might be the ones to bring something new to the table and surprise everyone.

Yeah, that's my biggest concern. Without money on the line, I'm not sure if they'll feel motivated enough to put forth their best effort. I'm sure they want that gold trim, but, meh.

Will Seppo be too drunk to play or just drunk enough to be in the zone?

A drunk Seppo is superior to 99% of sober monks out there, IMO. I'm such a fanboi.

I guess more than a few people ended up leaving the guild.

From what I hear, they are trying to get the remaining members of The Last Pride [EvIL] to merge with them. This could result in a Korean powerhouse, to say the least. That's just a possibility though, hearsay, etc.

QFT

I am positive QQ and eF will be in the top 4, however I would have to say I think Cel and Chaossanctury are going to pull something out of their sleeves and will be very fun to watch, they both seem very solid, even with Cel running euroway

The pairings are posted on the official site >>
tp://www.guildwars.com/competitive/funseason/winterfestschedule.php.

Based on those pairings, I'd say round 2 =

eF, EW, QQ, LOL, dT, PnH, Cel, NR, ICE, Out, SpNv, Rus, WoW, tag, BcS, PUFF.

I'm predicting LaG over dT. LaG is very underrated. Eurospike against eurospike or split against split, I think LaG is going to take it. If one of them pulls out some crazy build, then it's all up the air, but that match has huge upset potential.

We're running my build.

Expect excitment.

people quite because they were running a dumb skill for a single build?

that doesnt make any sense.

We haven't played for a week, but that doesn't mean we are not trying to win, if we get eight guys around -- or it's time for Orion (mage hencie) to show his awesome skills again. :P

LightningHell · Dec 16, 2006, 10:32 AM // 10:32

Uncharged Isle, lawl.

I'm still having trouble choosing QQ or eF as my winner.

bluechestdude · Dec 16, 2006, 11:14 AM // 11:14

i still think qq is more up to the chance than ef just because they look a lot more prepared...ooo i want to see lag play now lol.

Legendary Shiz · Dec 16, 2006, 03:35 PM // 15:35

LaG is a very talented guild, I wouldn't be surprised to see them do something in tourney. However, their winning it all is a long shot.

QQ or iQ wins this shearly because they prepair better than anybody. I'd probably have to pick iQ to win it, since they seem to be the master build makers. And in this tourney, your build will more than likely make or break you.

I think I'd be shocked if iQ wins it tbh

Why would you say that? iQ is insanely talented roster, probably has the most tourny experience out of everybody, and can be VERY creative with builds. This tourny is not allowing certain skills and a lot of teams wont be able to adapt well to that. However I can see iQ thriving in an enviorment like that.

Seltack · Dec 16, 2006, 05:29 PM // 17:29

The main problem iQ has is not being in the tournament, overcoming those odds may even be too much for them.

I'd say QQ or PnH, eF dosn't stand a chance now...

Khanoute · Dec 16, 2006, 08:16 PM // 20:16

PnH is teaching everyone a lesson or two. Period.

Hi

Seltack · Dec 16, 2006, 09:04 PM // 21:04

Did eF lose then?

I wish ANET could update their damn page, hard to find out how things stand when you can't watch all the games and there's no results page (unless I'm missing something?)

For matches I've watched, NR playing EW was a great match, surprised by the outcome and it was a good match, swinging both ways and it was nice to see them both running something other than spike after they both used that in their first matches.
