Hey, it's just 2 days until the [SL]UMBBL cup will be upon us and no-one talking about it? What's going on?! Is it a secret or something? 
I think it's time someone started a fun prediction game 
So, how about this? Everyone picks 5 Secret League races and points are awarded for each team of one of those races that makes it into the last 16 (or higher):
Last 16: 1 point
Quarter final: 2 points
Semi-final: 4 points
Final: 8 points
Winner: 12 points
Each team gives points based on their final standing (i.e. they're not cumulative).
(also, any submissions after 23:59 bbtime this Friday don't count) |

Von Carstein, because they keep it professional.
Were, the only race I can guarantee will be in the draw.
Slaanesh Daemons, because CLAWS EVERYWHERE.
Nippon (south) and Nippon (north), to avoid questions of "which one did you mean." |

Von Carstein - Strong team, high winrate across many games
Sea Elf - Elves that don't die, I feel they're strong but it obviously depends on the Claw. Also I can't not support myself
Bretonnian - Another strong team
Tilea - Lots of strong combos
Northern Nippon - Potentially strong, I feel like it's the least likely team on my list to win |
