Round 2 bracket, chat and predictions.

Certain · 09-01-2014, 03:01 AM

Welcome to Round 2!

I think we had a very successful first round, though it was dominated by shutout victories. And now we enter Round 2 with a field that actually improved from what we started with, thanks to the additions of Hall of Famers Pent uP and Orc as well as veteran writers Cormier and Frank coming in as reserves.

We're still at 10 lines for this round, with next round being 12, then 14 for the semifinals and 16 for the championship.

Round 2 topics are taken from Stephen King's extensive bibliography. Here are the matchups, for your prediction needs:

R. Frank vs. 8. trap | Night Shift
5. kannon vs. 13. jilti | Blood and Smoke
3. Split vs. R. Cormier | Firestarter
R. Orc vs. 2. Darth Yoda | It

1. El Pancake vs. 9. Mike Wrecka | Just After Sunset
5. Eŋg vs. 4. Pinot Grij | Sleepwalkers
R. Pent uP vs. 6. Soulstice | Different Seasons
7. Diode vs. 2. oats | A Face in the Crowd

Lol not to mention "upsets" would mean soulstice, eng, pinot, etc.

I'll do my best to make sure you won't have to worry about it though ;)

i'd say surefire odds of an orc ns, likely cormier ns, and frank is always a wild card

The bottom half of the bracket looked strong prior to the start of the tournament and with NYC being upset and some of the substitutions that was only enhanced. Not complaining. We SEC now.

R. Frank vs. 8. trap | Night Shift
5. kannon vs. 13. jilti | Blood and Smoke
3. Siplt vs. R. Cormier | Firestarter
R. Orc vs. 2. Darth Yoda | It

1. El Pancake vs. 9. Mike Wrecka | Just After Sunset (tehe)
5. Eŋg vs. 4. Pinot Grij | Sleepwalkers
R. Pent uP vs. 6. Soulstice | Different Seasons
7. Diode vs. 2. oats | A Face in the Crowd

Chalk baby. I'm sure there'll be an upset, though. The most likey would be Eng (only barely), Diode (his need to be viewed as Topical Diode fuels him), and trap.

Wait.

If I can't see the upset....I'M THE FUCKING UPSET!

1. El Pancake vs. 9. Mike Wrecka | Just After Sunset

Fuck.

You guys are all superstars.

Why you so sensitive

Certain · 09-01-2014, 04:53 PM

I'm not. Why would you stay if you feel that way? And why would you feel that way because you lost to a clearly superior verse? Apparently going up 3-0 gave you an undeserved sense of superiority.

Certain swooped in and saved Franks ass in that battle

Actually apathy catastrophe daiquiris

Certain · 09-01-2014, 06:20 PM

You pretty much always side with the more simplistic verse. I get it. I don't have a problem with it.

Mike Wrecka · 09-01-2014, 06:24 PM

Quite the opposite tbh. U are confused

Certain · 09-01-2014, 06:24 PM

No, I'm not.
