I love these predictions, except for a notable lack of people calling the Lizards to win it all. Let's see what their path is:

Wintergreen's dwarfs win their game. The runner is obscene.

With much more bravado than my actual confidence in this game warrants: lizards over OWA.

Nothing kills snotlings like Chaos dwarfs do. I'm assuming the optimistic scenario (for the chorfs) where Morg can be fouled off the pitch soon. Chaos Dwarfs win

Humans over snotlings

Orcs will beat Ogres. They are to powerful not to capitalize on the few turns where bonehead will be a disaster.

Astrolonim's Chaos Dwarfs are looking a bit vulnerable this game due to players sitting out. Adding a bit of wishful thinking about not running into them at full strength I call the Undead

Finally, Elyod's Evil Elves will persevere.

That leaves me with:

Dwarfs vs Lizards, where I will again shamelessly call my own number. Lizards win
Humans vs Chaos Dwarfs: Chaos Dwarfs
Orcs will beat the Undead
And the Dark Elves will beat the Undead

Perhaps unsurprisingly I predict my Lizardmen to beat the Chaos Dwarfs in the semifinals, due to an incredibly well timed amount of injuries on the chorfs, from the game against the Humans. Lucky me.

The lizards will then beat the Dark Elves in the finals, in a very, very close game where Nuffle's intervention tips the game for the Lizards.

If I stare at this long enough, I might even believe it myself Smile

Y'all just jinxing each other with compliments, like Italian grandmas.

I'm not making predictions because they'll just be wishful thinking one way or another Razz

Looking forward to the final tallies on stars and thanks to all reporters!

Two much prepickshuns here not make cents. We write real things to happen.

-----------------Won vs Too-----------------
"Bashto" sounds like will be bash to heads in. Not gud. Need heads four play. Game lose.

So much bash, Padster61 also lose. Not enuf heads.

----------------Three vs For----------------
Hear we have deathroller to smoosh heads and firepower to eggsplode heads. Death from roller very bad, with flat heads. both lose.

----------------Five vs Nine-----------------
Spoonless have no spoons. Not even won spoon? Not any won? Well, probabilay lose then. End will have as many heads as spoons.

"Joost" sound like "smoosht" so look like headless lizardmans. Also lose.

----------------Seven vs Ate----------------
spinball tricky. Ball important, but spin is very bad. Get dizzy and fall down. Bump head. Then we step on head and make smoosh flat like headz of poor Joost Lizardmans. Not win.

happygrue is more easy. Grue is happy ergo game is win. It logic.

----------------6 vs Ten-----------------
This team not spell "FUMBBL". How they win? Have even head before game?

Lobotomyrino sound like very bad plan for shape of head. No chance.

---------------Eleven vs Twelf----------------
Nelfiend try make much words to distract and songdance around big lose. Wave arms and talk "numbers" to make kind folk num. Team make many red grunts while heads turn red.

Taking It To Ya is purfect team in every way. So much gud! But in game with Nelfiend, all heads lose. Sad.

--------------Hurteen vs Forteen---------------
Gravedigger seem useful. Already ded so don't even need heads to get into grave after heads smooshed. Gud plan!

Handy for other team to meet goal of visit Tzeentch.
Graves for everywon, it weave of fate.

---------------Fifteen vs Nineteen---------------
Much tired now. All heads arr smooshed.


Conclueshuns: only won coach not have heads smooshed. Must be winner?

grant85 beat my expectations to get here, and he did it with a big human team. He's got a great catcher, and multiple mighty blow tackle.. but.. he's against Monitor4321 and THE Fumbll Cup Underdog. Yup, that's right, Monitor4321 and Snotlings are going to take this game.


you are probably right, hahaha. I had some real nice luck in my matches. really depends how his star players perform imo. it's been a great ride either way.

'smash', and yet the only failed dodge casualty in that game .. was an Ogre who badly hurt himself.

Well, a few people got to their games before me, but here's my round 4 predictions, since I have to make up for being worse than nelphine (gasp!) at my earlier predictions, Wink

Game 1: Already been played. Go Chorfs!

Game 2: wintergreen's Tusslin' (Dorfs), who have 6 guarders and an elf runner. Beautiful team.

Game 3: Joost's Xlanhuapec Smashmouth (Lizards). Both teams are great, but I can't shake the feeling that OWA kinda suck and the Saurus will crush them.

Game 4: happygrue's Morg n Thorg Variety Hour (Ogres). No claw on the chorf team, plus I think this is a tough chorf matchup, plus I should probably just bet on happygrue at all times.

Game 5: grant85's Lobos Marinos (Humans). 2x MB Tackle on the humans. This snots team does seem somewhat invincible though, so maybe this is a bad pick.

Game 6: This has already been played, but on my sheet of predictions here, it says... okkawaagh red grunts! No suspicious activity here whatsoever. (my notes say "very tough call, but I think the Orcs have enough STR on the team to contest the Ogre line")

Game 7: This is my game. I'll predict myself, but I think it's a tough matchup, since I'm missing three chorfs. Game's on saturday, 2000 servertime (hopefully).

Game 8: Elyod's Dark Elfves. Not much tackle on the Necro team, plus the elves have a stunning 14/1/1 record.

And a fifth match has been played! (This also proved my prediction wrong - but my round 5 prediction can still be true, so no changes required)

I'll predict Dark Elfves for round 5. That team looks disgusting, and not a lot of tackle on the Gravediggers.

Re: my match, turns out chorfs with only 3 chorfs is tough. Lost the removal war and started out 11 vs 13, not a recipe for success. GG Lewdgrip.
