...I confused myself. Well, whatever. Those are good enough.

[AlecTrevylan006]

Damnit people, I don't like high expectations, especially based on my headsup performance recently

[Alu]

Apparently I stand no chance of beating Brian :P

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I love how I am favored to face BTS in the Final 6 and beat him each time.

I mean, I hate having hype.

(Post mine later)

[Believe The Sickness]

Yeah, I noticed that too. It would be great if you lost your first game now and proved everyone wrong :). I predict a GWPS rematch... hopefully with different results, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Semifinals:
#1 Tom over me/cole
#1 Tran over cole/me

Finals:
#1 Tom over #1 Tran

[Alu]

Finals:

I have myself losing to Brian and Tom, because I think they're the two of the few that that I feel can knock me out. I think Cole will take it all.

[-TranViet-]

#4 Cluck over #1 Tran

:chuckle:

[Cluck.]

I'm going to assume that you were laughing at my seed number mistake, because that would make more sense.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Round 1:
#1 BTS over #8 Zero80
#4 The Smart Patrol over #5 Benzine
#3 canadaguy over #6 Chaptastick
#2 Tom over #7 Velocity

#1 Tran over #8 volleyballchika
#5 Cluck over #4 Alu
#3 Brian over #6 Phoenix
#7 Staind over #2 Dan

#1 Coleman over #8 Sirithe
#5 Shak over #4 Dean
#3 shortkut over #6 BigDaddy
#2 JoetheShow over #7 AlecTrevylan

Round 2:
#1 BTS over #4 The Smart Patrol (TSP has the best shot at knocking out BTS.)
#2 Tom over #3 canadaguy (Should be fun.)

#1 Tran over #5 Cluck (Cluck is good but erratic. Tran is seasoned.)
#3 Brian over #7 Staind (Brian should go far this series.)

#1 Coleman over #5 Shak (A great match. Shak is underrated and quite good.)
#2 JoetheShow over #3 shortkut (I'd love to give it to kut, but Joe is consistantly good.)

Quarterfinals:
#1 BTS over #2 Tom (I have to give it to BTS even though this one can and will go either way.)
#1 Tran over #3 Brian (Another tough call. I even it out later on.)
#1 Coleman over #2 JoetheShow (Joe is good, but Cole is the wild card. If he is on... he is ON.)

Wildcard: #3 Brian

Semifinals:
#3 Brian over #1 BTS (BTS gets taken by surprise how good Brian is heads-up.)
#1 Coleman over #1 Tran MATCH OF THE TOURNAMENT (Cole takes down Tran in two games.)

Finals:
#1 Coleman over #3 Brian (That would be great to see. I'm never going against Cole, though.)

In the end, I believe that Cole is the toughest player I've ever gone against heads-up (and I am a damn good heads-up player). He changes his style so much during the game that he always catches people off-guard. Brian is also severely underrated. Without distraction and just a pure poker mentality, he can beat anyone. Also, I never pick myself to win. I find it to be unlucky.

[Cluck.]

Round 2:
#1 BTS over #5 Cluck
#2 Tom over #3 canadaguy

#1 Tran over #5 Cluck
#3 Brian over #7 Staind:( I lost twice.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Quiet you. :D

[Coleman]

I updated my post to highlight the matches that have taken place.

So far I'm 2 and 0 in predictions.

[JoetheShow]

ITS APRIL MADNESS BABY!!!!

I won't make predictions, because the absolute opposite will happen.

[Alu]

ITS APRIL MADNESS BABY!!!!

I won't make predictions, because the absolute opposite will happen.
too bad I already made that joke to cole right before I told him to correct the bracket :P

edit: I'll have to show you all up by pulling a GMU I guess, except for the whole choking in the final four thing.

[Coleman]

edit: I'll have to show you all up by pulling a GMU I guess, except for the whole choking in the final four thing.Yeah, you'll choke long before that.

[Cluck.]

Eric=Syracuse

[Alu]

Yeah, you'll choke long before that.
it can't be choking if I wasn't expected to win in the first place

[Velocity]

kut, you'd be like a 2005 Louisville. I'd be the George Mason, if not Albany. :chuckle:

[Zell 17]

Eric=Syracuse

Cluck = Kansas? Minus the favored part ;)

[AlecTrevylan006]

You all had it backwards. I lost to Joe (like I would to most people), but I always beat shortkut in headsup :tease:

[canadaguy]

Well, I suppose now comes the time when I am supposed to lose to Tom like you all have predicted.

[shortkut]

Well, I suppose now comes the time when I am supposed to lose to Tom like you all have predicted.
i would never lose to tom. i guess that is why i spell my name with a K and you with a C

[Alu]

so far, only one underdog has won, and it was in the 4-5 spot, so it wasn't much of an underdog to begin with...

[Zell 17]

So Tom's seeding has pretty much been dead on.

[Coleman]

Indeed, I've only missed one so far.

[canadaguy]

i would never lose to tom. i guess that is why i spell my name with a K and you with a C



No, you spell that name because I am quite certain you are actually a Viking.

[shortkut]

No, you spell that name because I am quite certain you are actually a Viking.
i wish. if i were i would burn your village and run away with your women

[Zell 17]

5-4 seems to be the upset. Alu better watch out.

[Cluck.]

5-4 seems to be the upset. Alu better watch out.I think it'll be a good game.

[canadaguy]

i wish. if i were i would burn your village and run away with your women


Boy are you gonna be disappointed.

[Cluck.]

i wish. if i were i would burn your country and run away with your womenThats what you meant, right?


EDIT: and the 5-4 upsets hold true.

[Velocity]

And I picked #4s to beat the #5s. :cry:

[Cluck.]

So far me, Cole, and Tom all only have one loss each. The person who gets the least amount of loses here should win somthing.

[Coleman]

Doesn't Brian only have one?

[Zell 17]

I missed Alu and Cluck. Badly, as I had Alu winning the next round as well.

[Cluck.]

I had Cole beating Dean next round, so I only got one loss off of that.

[Coleman]

I'm new to this whole method of predicting.

For those of us that got one wrong, how do we deal with that? Like, I predicted Alec over Joe.

In the next round I have like shortkut over Alec or something like that, do I still get credit if shortkut beats Joe?

[AlecTrevylan006]

Do the GameFAQs summer contest method of bracket point totalling

It won me $250 so it can't be all bad :)

[Cluck.]

I'm new to this whole method of predicting.

For those of us that got one wrong, how do we deal with that? Like, I predicted Alec over Joe.

In the next round I have like shortkut over Alec or something like that, do I still get credit if shortkut beats Joe?As long as your winner wins the game you had him winning, it's good. Like, I had Shak losing to Dean, And then you beating Dean. As long as you win against Shak, your win for Round 2 counts. Brian had me losing to Alu, and then Alu winning in Round 2, so his round 2 is automatically shot.

[Coleman]

That makes sense. So I'm still on par to get all except 1. And I got robbed in that one.

ALEC YOU JERK! YOU LET ME DOWN!

[Cluck.]

I thought Dean could've beat Shak. I guess I underestimated him.

[Benzine]

Or we over estimated Deanie.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I had Shak beating Dean because he is a more controlled player than Dean.

[Coleman]

I said it several times, Shak didn't get a chance to get in a lot of games in the GWPS, but when he did he showed promise. I can't wait to take him down! :^:

[Cluck.]

I said it several times, Shak didn't get a chance to get in a lot of games in the GWPS, but when he did he showed promise. I can't wait to take him down! :^:Thats why I had him losing, I knew Dean was a good player, but I've never seen Shak.
