Honestly, losers' or winners' brackets, nobody ever had a chance from the days that slayn and Nabster92 entered, and then the day dragonlife29 was accepted as a substitute. >_> Unless there are some mysterious incredible players in this tournament who I just haven't played and who (somehow) exactly nobody on GAF has hyped to the sky (or I just haven't heard of them), I really think it's going to be one of those three.
Edit: Wait, Relix too. Yeah, there's our top four right there. Again, at least just going by what I've seen--I've played like two dozen GAFers (with Relix being the only one on this list that I haven't) and they're far and away the best, as well as just some of the best competition I've had period. Edit 2: ...Counting only people who are in this tournament. Ysiadmihi is incredible too, but he's not here.
Edit 3: Fascinating how ten matches in the winners' bracket have finished before one in the losers'.
