For group A, I think 1) and 2) are equally likely, but since in season 3 huddyj got it, lets assume it will even out at 1:1 and Bjarke gets it this time. GL to both. Me being 3rd is a stretch goal, but I managed to beat Buns two seasons ago, and some other players last season, so I believe I have a chance :)

deadline will be whenever I get around to writting down everyones predictions in excel after tourneys have started. Untill then feel free to edits your post if you want (thus you can predict the G group on the current basis of players and edit later if someone joins you think can make it - but that way you dont miss out on a group if you forget to edit).

Edit: btw nice to see that huddyj expect me to beat his ass :D

Masterpierround and huddyj, you're betting on my inconsistency there, but okay.
I have consistently beat 1 of the top 2 players in my group, and lost to 1 of the bottom two players.

I will write down peoples predictions in excel when it starts and use that as the source to find the winner.

I could simply be match-fixing to make sure I get the coins. :P

Yes you could. Seems like a bit much to give up the title for a bit bigger chance at being the best predictor, but who knows :P. I considered if there should be a rule saying that people had to predict themselves as 1st, but that seemed to give unfair advantage to people with a better chance in their respective group than others. Also I do expect people to not do this - good sportsmanship and stuff :P.
But I guess there need to be some tiebreaker just in case, so maybe how high one put himself could be used as this? And if the two plays draw on this as well I guess I will just set up a game for the prize. But guess most likely there will not be a need for a tiebreaker at all.

Also: Still open for people to join the actual league! Just write in the post :)

And to be honest, Ox is completely right, I'm absolutely overrated in my division. I'm still in D out of sure dumb luck and being active as hell!

Master Bjarke, I have a good idea to avoid match-fixing or anything like it. Why not make it that a player can't make a prediction on their own group in the main competition. Instead, they can make predictions on all the other groups, and the predictions for their own group can be used as a tie-breaker if needed. For example: I can make predictions in the main competition on groups B, C, D, E, F, G1, and G2, but if I end up equal on points with another player, my predictions for Group A will come in as a tie-break.

I need pizza if i win my division

A:huddyj,Bjarke,Buns157

Everybody almost making same prediction. Yes hudddyj, Ale and Алексей are good players but no one is unbeatable in small earth map. Most players have a change to win first rank. And it is almost impossible to predict first three. So if you wish to increase your changes you should make several wild guesses.

I am not too crazy about leaving out prediction of one owns group. I guess I am not that concern about matchfixing, and feel like that would add some advantage to players in the low groups as there should be more data (if anyone is not too lazy to even look) on players in the higher groups. Also another effect would be that the higher groups would tend to be more even (because people have been sorted on their past preformance so to speak), making lower groups easier to predict maybe. So I guess with two effect in different direction it may even out, or it may not. But it would be better if noone match fixes, so that we do not need to do stuff like this. Maybe in stead it could be a tiebreaker of not considering ones own group?

Also I will also make some predictions (I will be dissapointed if I end up winning though:P )

Group: (1st)            (2nd)            (3rd)
    A: (Master Bjarke)  (huddyj)         (Buns157)
    B: (Arkanton)       (smileyleg )     (TWOLKER)

    D: (Corvus5)        (Bonsai80)       (Wenyun )
    E: (Taji)           (PhucilliJerry)  (ALE)
    F: (Ink Splatoon)   (large shrimp)   (Skilled)
   G1: (Oh Noes)        (INSIDE)         (Hades)
   G2: (AI)             (Turkish)        (Ameter)

Note to self: check that TWOLKER and Skilled actually joins the tourney.

I dont actually think I will win the league, but I want to so figured I had to go at it with a possitive attitude :D
