WCG predictions vs. the actual scores

By Elke 'Binteh' Mahy

Here's my predictions (the ones you saw in Thorin's WCG prediction article) and then the actual results of the groups... unfortunatly, I'm too tired/busy/forgetful to actually vote for the games...could have made a lot of SK credits otherwise...

Group A

Predictions:
1. Millenium
2. AEON.gamesense

Actual results:
1. Millenium
2. Parallax

Paral...who? what? this is a random second seed in that group I have to say, I would have bet my arm on the fact that Parallax wouldn't pass the group stages. wierd. However, in the playoffs they will be playings against or mousesports, or tp.uSports or Turmoil...will not be an easy ride for them that's for sure. And well, millenium seeded first of course.

Group B

Predictions:
1. fnatic
2. wNv

Actual results:
1. wNv
2. fnatic

I knew Firegamers were a good team, and I honestly hesitated to put them as second seed, however, wNv just looked so promising, and Firegamers can't only be winning on hope. BUT...that game of firegamers against fnatic?! wow wow wow. I'm not quite sure what's happening at the moment actually, some people say the round differences between wNv and FG are the same, other website say it isnt. So who is it now that seeded 2nd? Not a clue... too tired to look it up, havent slept in 2 days.

Update: ok so, they found out who was seeded second and now they changed again with fnatic, some wierd BS crap about the round difference between each of the games between fnatic/firegamers/wNv which "just so happens" to work in wNv's favour. Whatever, it's a mess and I'm too tired to start complaining about that decision.

Group C

Prediction:
1. mTw
2. Power Gaming

Actual results:
1. mTw
2. Power Gaming

Wowow, I knew Power Gaming had a CHANCE of seeding second, but I had no idea they would do it in such style and with such commitment. I can only say congratulations, their games were entertaining to watch, in particular mTw vs. Power Gaming. Virtus.pro in the group on the other hand were really dissapointing, they lost their gaming soul. mTw again, I'm happy for them but not satisfied. I KNOW they can play much better than they have, even though they played well and seeded 1st, I'm not sure it's going to be enough to reach far in the playoffs if they play like this. If mTw turn their engines on and play their A-game though..then I definitly think they are a contenstant for the final.

Group D

Predictions:
1. H2k
2. Duskbin

Actual results:
1. H2k
2. Duskbin

Well...common...that wasn't exactly hard to figure out.

Group E

Predictions:
1. k23
2. esq.wind

Actual results:
1.k23
2.TeG

Ok, please don't tell anyone I said this, but TeG actually played well. Wouldn't think I'd say this in a million year but what the heck! As for k23, I'm getting more and more convinced by them. They'll be facing fnatic in the playoffs though, not exactly the easiest opponent.

Group F

Predictions:
1. Mousesports
2. CMAX.gg

Actual Results:
1.CMAX.gg
2.Turmoil

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA...... and I quote "on a personal note" UNLUCKY. Seriously, how can you win against CMAX.gg and then completely and uterly fail versus SnG? man...you'll never hear the end of this. Anyway, congrats to the Russians, I knew they could make it. As for Turmoil...meh...we'll see but not expecting much in playoffs.

Group G

Predicted Results:
1. AGAiN
2. TyLoo

Actual Results:
1. TyLoo
2. AGAiN

I do that everytime, I keep underestimating TyLoo and overestimating AGAiN who, even though are a very good team ,just aren't what they used to be. TyLoo on the other hand made it very exciting to watch.

Group H

Predicted Results:
1. Hellraisers
2. Team EG

Actualy Results:
.1 Hellraisers
2. Team EG

Putting a bet on Hellraisers was risky business, but I knew that if they played their A game they would easily do it and I'm not dissapointed in the least. Watching them play was a delight and EG vs. Hellraisers made me remember why I love spectating games. Thank you.
