I'm still not convinced Practice =/= Persuede, so if they both do manage to show up that means one guy has two laptops side by side, both using jank heroes at the same time.  I expect firelord vs beastmaster hero arena, but more likely Walking will continue to blindly rush someone. Probably persuade.  Jinei wont show and will be subbed for Maga, who will win.

Yeah minus the part where I wasted 10k gold on bats which gave me 0 exp because dase kept porting his chims.

[Wrecktify]

Fine I take it back.  Youre going to LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


 

ZULU POWER!

[Persuade]

Never done one, so first attempt!

EM11
Nooblex
Rygorych
Redkeekee
Beljone

Beljone gets luck spawn, and ebo gets surrounded.  Nooblex decides he can't hoard as much as usual, so he opts for around 25k instead of the usual 30 before being attacked by Beljone who is flailing around hitting everyones expos.  Redkeekee only gets about 12k before he goes 100 on Ebo and is successfully able to chim his base.  Little does he know that Ebo had already rebuilt his main at 3 other spots and bats Redkeekee's main, allowing Ebo to stay alive and rebuild.  Beljone lost his advantage over Nooblex, who just then kills off whats left of Beljones main, but he is able to hide away in a corner and rebuild slowly.  Ebo convinces Redkeekee to team Nooblex with him for a bit, who then drops because of a thunderstorm that knocks out the transformer at his house.  Nooblex and Redkeekee trade for a bit, but Nooblex had gold advantage so Redkeekee gets Beljone to team with him.  Beljone backstabs at the right time, and at this point no one has anything but heroes, which they all then proceed to hero arena for the next 30 minutes.  Ebo magically reconnects to the game, and kills off everyone with his remaining 15k gold and bats.  Wreck makes a lot of sarcastic comments while obsing, but the jokes on him because he was the only obs and no one was listening to him.

EM12
practicemage
Persuade
JineiUdou
Walking.TrL

Persuade randoms Human again, because he never gets the race he wants.  Opts for AM/BM/FL summon combo, gets 3x fast expo, goes 100, and tries to kill Mage.  But because 3x expo takes awhile and isn't fast at all.  JineiUdou had already killed Mage and Walking and has 10/10 heroes and has a ton of dryads to counter all Persuades summons, making his combo useless again.

EM13
WRECKTIFY
ATi.Bright
SteppinRazor
Renaud

Wrecktify cries about the map, decides to tower rush the closest person, who happens to be Louis, meanwhile Renaud opens hunts and tries to rush out Steppin.  Both steppin and Louis take the middle expos and rebuild together in harmony as all random players should.  Wreck goes tank breaker against Renaud, because elf can't stop that.  Louis and Steppin team Wreck to avenge Renaud, who has also rebuilt in the middle, but was outcasted to the side as he isn't a random player. Wreck can't handle the 3v1 because he has no wood and ends up tanking himself because he has nothing and only human can kill human buildings.  The game ends there with no visible winner because Wreck has disgraced the color yellow and the rest is irrelevent.

EM14
PLZLEAVEDUCK
paterique
Redz7z
ReFlekKt

Duck tomes someone, redz7z LEAVES WITH 12k IN THE BANK. Then as duck is killing the other person, his mouse breaks again mid-fight, and is unable to nuke/coil, thus losing.

EM15
SeksiReturns
SicKTheGreat
Kajetan
Ugrilainen

Seksi randoms orc, Sparkle rushes him with 100, Sick joins in because he wants too. Ugri runs in and possesses every unit, forcing everyone to team him, who then threatens to ban everyone if he loses, so they all forfeit to the admin.

Maga and Slythe argue over who gets luckier, nothing else happens. 

WM16

grimfoLf
Q-veta
bRyAnIsBack

Q needs to redeem his orc behaviour, and goes for Bloodmage, Pitlord, Panda combo because hes a pyro.  Darker and Grim aare fighting, which is boring because both go similar NE heroes and air.  Bryan gets nothing but rings of protection on his BM, which is useless vs fire, and Q overcomes him, then sweeps up both Grim and Darker.

WM17
F10EX
Lightweight
Camp_and_Spank
Pinballmap

F10EX randoms orc, lw picks orc, and pinball is orc.  They all go solo BM with mirror image and rush Camp and spank, who is confused by the rainbow of pink, yellow, and blue blademasters. After that there is a lot of cow sex for awhile before one of the orcs wins.

I'll do the rest later

I like how Persuade's enthusiasm waned as he went down the list. Nice first description though!

It also had to do with me not knowing any of the euro players playstyles or anything.  While I chat/talk/play with majority of people I made the longer descriptions for.

[FML|Mage]

EM11
Nooblex
Rygorych
Redkeekee
Beljone

My first bold prediction, Blex will not be allowed to hoard the entire game!  Surely someone has figured this out by now, right?  I think Beljone pisses everyone off (sorry buddy, but you do have that habbit) and as a result is taken out while the others sit there and say meh.  After that Ebo and Red team Blex out because he's imba and no one wants to deal with that.  From there Red will actually have a chance because Ebo didn't pick pure cheese heroes (ok, he still might who knows), and he's already in the semis so what does he care.

EM12
practicemage
Persuade
JineiUdou
Walking.TrL

Wreck, I really don't appreciate the insinuation that Maga will be in our game.  That would just be mean, and you may also be the first person to pick a winner from outside the players in the match haha. 

EM13
WRECKTIFY
ATi.Bright
SteppinRazor
Renaud

I foresee Wreck rushing Renaud out, he then gets teamed down by the other two.  Meanwhile Renaud is off in a corner of the map rebuilding, hoarding and untouched because its not like that's ever turned out badly for anyone.  At the end of the game Steppin or Bright will think they've won and find out that Renaud somehow has 20k gold and mass chims.

EM14
PLZLEAVEDUCK

Really don't see Duck losing this one barring him not showing or his computer breaking.  I think he'll tome someone then 2v1 the others.

EM15
SeksiReturns
SicKTheGreat
Kajetan
Ugrilainen

Seksi played extremely well in our match, and I figure that he's got a good chance in this one.  Honestly though it could be anyone's game.  Sparkle is due a win sometime soon, and both Ugri and Sick are good players.  Should be an interesting one to watch I hope.
--

WM15
3wD.SimO
Slythe
Ghost-Burne
DkH.Rain

Maga's into the semis, so now its a question of if he wants 100 points I guess.  Should be an interesting matchup, but I think Maga gets teamed really hard which will leave Sly and Rain to fight it out, but Rain will have some type of advantage.  Sorry Ghost, I have no idea what happened to you (maybe Maga's first victim?)

WM16
darkermirror
grimfoLf
Q-veta
bRyAnIsBack

Here we have the polar opposites, Q and Bryan.  Which will win, abusing the hell out of Orc or smart play and manip?  Taking a gamble and going with Q, but I could see Darker being forgotten until the end and then pulling out the win.  Also I'm sure there will be a lot of attention paid to this game.

WM17
F10EX
Lightweight
Camp_and_Spank
Pinballmap

F10 vs Camp_and_Spank.  Should be interesting, although I see Camp hitting F10, F10 winning the battle, then getting teamed out by PBM and LW.  Lw then reveals that he actually has 20k more gold then he said he did and takes PBM out with ease.

Kruppe

I think Kruppe either gets taken out for playing a different race early on (unless he picks HU) or he is allowed to just chill.  It'll probably be the first because humans are gay like that, but I'm going with the underdog anyway.

[FML|Mage]

Ok, well now that we've played the second round, we can get onto the truly important things.  Like who was the best guesser in Round 2.

Recap, round 1 results for predictions:

Round 1:
Mage: 8
PBM: 6
Wreck: 5
Ugri: 4
Worp: 4
Duck: 4
Steppin: 4
Humstar: 4
Beljone: 3
Sparkle: 3
Sly: 2
Renaud: 0

Round 2:
Wreck: 4
Ebo: 4
Mage: 4
Ugri: 3
Nooblex: 3
Sparkle: 3
PBM: 2
Seksi: 2
Camp and Spank: 2
Renaud: 2
Worp: 1
Beljone: 1
Slythe: 0

A few notes, Subs winning games really messes shit up.  Also Slythe is now in control of the Renaud award.  Given to the person who somehow doesn't pick a game right    As it turns out Sly was not good enough to get the Renaud award because he did in fact get a game right and I just missed it.  This leaves Renaud as the most special FFA predictor out there.

Overall:
Mage: 12
Wreck: 9
PBM: 8
Ugri: 7
Sprakle: 6
Worp: 5
Beljone: 4
Ebo: 4 (Did not predict Round 1)
Duck: 4 (Did not predict Round 2)
Steppin: 4 (Did not predict Round 2)
Humstar: 4 (did not predict Round 2)
Nooblex: 3 (did not predict Round 1)
Sly: 3
Seksi: 2 (Did not predict Round 1)
Camp and Spank: 2 (Did not predict Round 1)
Renaud: 2

Just a future rule that I will be implementing.  If you somehow guess that someone will be subbing in a game and win (See Wreck's prediction this week in my match) then I'll give you 3 points for that.  Unless your Wreck, then I'll just be bitter.

[Q-veta]

WM16

Q needs to redeem his orc behaviour, and goes for Bloodmage, Pitlord, Panda combo because hes a pyro.  Darker and Grim aare fighting, which is boring because both go similar NE heroes and air.  Bryan gets nothing but rings of protection on his BM, which is useless vs fire, and Q overcomes him, then sweeps up both Grim and Darker.

If everything goes well I can try the plan I had for the first round. It's not quite as non-cheese as what you suggested but it's less cheese than what I usually do hero-wise. I need a little luck with positions though.
