It's also hard to have upsets in contests like this when you're doing a breakdown of the contest since a lot of people follow your lead when they're unsure.

Well, Xenoblade > Batman didn't work out, but I don't feel so bad about it. Xenoblade kept it respectably close, and I like Arkham City so it's nice to see it get a win. Losing 3 points hurts, but it's not the end of the world. Let's see how my Uncharted to round 3 pick is doing... oh.

TRE and I have a pretty cool direct elimination fight coming up in R2. We only have 4 different picks from now to the end up the contest and they are all in R2. Currently I am one point up. The differences are:
TRE has Sekiro, I have MonHun. TRE has Shovel Knight, I have Undertale (lol). TRE has Read Dead Redemption, I have Xenoblade Chronicles. TRE has Sonic Mania, I have Super Meat Boy. So I need to win 2 of the 3 where I have a chance above to survive (I don't think it makes any difference if Shovel Knight wins or loses). --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information ...

For me it's all about the battle of the Mario brackets (namely the people who have Mario Odyssey > Smash in Round 4).
There are currently 7 of those people. Assuming the 24 points gained by picking Mario to get to the semi-finals eliminate everyone else (which is not a given, but it's likely unless someone gains a huge lead, or nails some insane risks in the last 3 rounds), I have to defeat the other 6 to win.
ZeldaTPLink: 54 transience: 53 tazzy: 52 Doom: 52 So far so good. Of course, this is just a tiebreaker of sorts. I need Mario and Skyrim to win their debated matches, and to get some difficult stuff right in Round 4. Disivions 2, 4 and 7 finals should be the main points of competition, and I assume I'll probably need to get at least 2 of them right. As for the actual contest tiebreakers, transience seems to have the best one relative to the votals we are getting, followed by me, then tazzy and then Doom. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Celeste/Rayman still seems like it could flip, so here are eliminations for division 1 in both scenarios:
Celeste wins:
Rayman wins:

Only 77 people at -4 or better, and I get to be on the outside looking in for the leaderboard. I've never been on the leaderboard, allen. Please just let me have this. Bump some of the Rayman brackets tomorrow and let me in!
Speaking of the leaderboard, grats to bossman for having sole possession of the lead. ZeldaTPLink posted... For me it's all about the battle of the Mario brackets (namely the people who have Mario Odyssey > Smash in Round 4). This was definitely a gamble I considered heavily. I decided to call my shots elsewhere, though. If SMO somehow wins, I will be both pleased and annoyed with myself. --- VGMC13 champion: Ar Nosurge - Class::EXSPHERE_NOSURGE; ... Copied to Clipboard!
