Alistair MacBain:
OVW beats FTK 2-1 (5-3, 4-5, 5-4)
Clam beats Muse 2-0 (5-2, 5-3)

Thomas:
Hm. This is a tough one. Normally I'd go for an overwhelming victory to Overwatch, but FTK showed a lot more ability than most people gave them credit for in the first grouping. Still, I'm not sure it will be enough to win against Overwatch, as they had to kick and claw their way through possibly the toughest Group to get into the brackets.

How's this scoring going to work? 1 for picking the right winner, 0.1 for the right matches won (2-0 or 2-1) , and another 0.1 for each correct match score?

OVW beats FTK 2-0 (5-2, 5-3)


Muse actually has a pretty strong team, however they're a little busy to practice regularly like most of the teams. If they had more open maps, I would have given them the win, as those are the maps they tend to be good at. But I suspect that Bubble's spire is just going to get wrecked on these close range maps.

I am going to have to spend some serious time going through things. Yay changes!

To give you an idea of what I am probably going to do...
Since I gave you the option of predicting no-shows, I have to give points to those who predicted correctly. I will pretend that the bracket ran as planned and no changes were made. Points will be awarded appropriately.
Then, I am going to run a phantom bracket based on the changes that will do effectively nothing. I am going to assume that nobody would predict a newer team to beat either Muse or the Mandarins, and I'm going to assume that nobody would predict Muse to beat the mandarins. So I am basically going to give everyone some points for correctly predicting that muse beats the new team, is beat by the mandarins, and beats the new team again. So yeah. Makes sense to me.

Regarding moving forwards.... Crap.
If every matchup is worth 1 point (not every battle) then we have already distributed a majority of the points. Which makes the group stage worth about as much as the rest of the tournament combined. Which sucks.
Unless anyone disagrees, I will make each battle worth 1 point. This means in a best of 3, a 2-0 can only give 2 points, while a 2-1 can give 3 points. So correctly predicting a closer match is more rewarding. This also makes the later rounds of the tournament worth more.
As always, you are only rewarded for correct guesses, no punished for incorrect guesses. If you predict a match going to the 3rd round and it doesn't you won't be punished.

Notes:
Thomas and Allien' were the only 2 people to guess that more than one team from Group D would fail to show.
For matches with no winners (neither team shows) I awarded no points if you predicted a winner. Your predicted winner did not win. Sorry.  :-\
Thomas's lack of faith in the new teams led to him correctly guessing every match in the group.
I did not give Thomas credit for guessing the correct score. I will only be awarding bonus points for guessing the correct score on matches that are actually played.
I assumed everyone would predict the outcome of D (revised) correctly and awarded everyone 3 points accordingly.
If you disagree and say you would have guessed differently, I will take away your points...
Allien' leads in guessing kill results correctly.
