I can envision a scene three years from now where L-Block loses the board vote due to people being sick of his contest dominance.

and tomorrow, if he comes in second... yeah.

Does that mean the Cloud > Link brackets would race ahead of Link > Cloud standings-wise?

I wasn't talking about SNAKE'S lead, Ashe...

No, you were talking about Chief coming back. You didn't specify who he had to overtake. <_<

See? It's about to begin already!

StarCraft or L-Block?

Yes. Man, these last few days have made it very apparent how little skill actually comes into play in this contest. Don't want to knock EC, but I still feel that clinching the Guru in a match where you made a worse prediction is all kinds of blah.

Why don't we just have it win with 100% of the vote? Would that be even funnier?

Yeah, this contest's scoring system is a bigger joke than L-Block. Imagine a Cloud>Link bracket winning when their winner (Cloud) couldn't even place??

But with the massive points the final is worth, I guess an L-Block winner bracket could still win right?

I think this is one of the worst results in contest history but to each their own. I'll take stuff like Samus edging Sephiroth in an SFF match over L-block doubling a guy that already beat him just because people jumped on a joke bandwagon. I really feel people are anti-voting the entire contest at this point and L-block is the figurehead.

This is just about the largest lead he had on Snake last round. Also, Chief is looking pretty decent in relation to the other two.

Next update, L-Block probably falls under 50%.
...and definitely rises above its biggest lead last match.

Beautiful.

Meanwhile, I'm beginning to wonder if I actually overestimated Dante, though he's got nowhere to go but up from here.
greatone10 | Posted 11/2/2007 9:23:34 PM | message detail
StarCraft or L-Block?

From a prediction percentage standpoint, it's L-Block. As far as progress in the bracket goes, L-Block. The only thing Starcraft has over Block is it's seed, and that's only because Block's seed was not made public.

Damn, I had Sonic>Snake last round but have Snake>Sonic this round. I'd be top 3 if I went with the upset again. Not that it matters since L Block is gonna destory Link tomorrow.

I guess I'm not so insane anymore for suggesting Snake wasn't a near lock for first... and I daresay MC still has a shot at Snake. This is completely insane by L though, even with me thinking he had a good shot at first today, this is impressive.

Yep, at this point I'm expecting probably another Games Contest at that's it. People are appearently really sick of 'em.

Oh, and I after the contest, I'm totally expecting a PotD asking which Tertis block is the best

Uh, you really think this is people anti-voting the contest? It seems to me that the stats topic has always been L-Block's biggest base of support around here (except Lopen and satai >_>), and we're probably the biggest contest marks on the site.

I hope Bacon doesn't think this is the result of people hating his contest. Poor guy, he worked too hard to get that (wrongful, I think) impression.

Also, with regards to Stats Topic vets, I think this is how a lifelong political analyst would feel if Steven Colbert won the presidency.
