Another game, another prediction failed.
Full Moon Frenzy Fun
(Necromantic Horror - 1650TV)
DaCoach
2 - 1
(0/1/0) - (0/1/0)
Report/Replay
Da Waaaaagh
(Orc - 1710TV)
BeanBelly
So now, bracket sixteen needs a new prediction! And since we only have one tier 2 team left, it has to be DaCoach with Necromantic! |

And somehow I forgot that I was wrong in bracket twelve, so I now choose KidCrestHill with Khorne! |

As far as I saw this happened twice: once in your game and once in the Astrolonim v. MattDakka match. If I missed any others let me know! |
Bracket 13, round 2: The Bloody Spearz vs. Wilder Rattenoger also featured double Bomber inducements. |

I'm a little bit late to this whole "predictions" thing, but I thought I'd toss my hat in the ring, so here's my bracket predictions:
Bracket 1:
I pick Neilwat's Action Hero (Ogres).
The Ogres are just huge, and they all have block... impossible to hit.
Bracket 2:
I pick MerryZ's MasterZ of the Universe (Humans).
10/1/0 record! Plus the name is great, and I think the Humans with Guard vs Chorfs matchup is probably a good one.
Bracket 3:
I pick Wintergreen's [BT6] Tusslin' (Dwarves).
Evil icky dwarves, but they do have a disguised Elf runner on the team, so I approve. Also shoutout to Wintergreen for tracking stars this tourney : )
Bracket 4:
I pick Strider's NAF Big Guys (Ogres).
UI Semi-finalists, and a very scary team, with a very scary coach.
Bracket 5:
I pick Storr's How is this still a Bolita (Snotlings).
Rookie-ish snots, but they're Snots, so does it matter?
Bracket 6:
I pick Badger's Barnsley Chorf (Chorfs) to make it out of Bracket 6.
I think the Lizard vs Helf game is tough to call, but either team will struggle into a nicely-built chorf team.
Bracket 7:
I pick Lue's Once We Were Alive (Necromantic) to win Bracket 7.
Lue's Necro look very nice, with skilled Fleshies and Ghouls. They may struggle down a huge amount of TV into their Nobility opponents in round 2 though.
Bracket 8:
I pick Happygrue's Morg n Thorg Variety Hour (Ogres) to take the bracket.
All 3 teams are almost rookies, but the Ogres have one less game to play, and a Wrestle Ogre (on a random G), which is pretty big.
Bracket 9:
All 3 rookie teams, and I have Monitor 4321's Fumbll Cup Underdogs (Snots) to take the bracket.
The snots are missing a Wagon for their game, but I think Snots just have enough players to get them past the other rookie stunty teams.
Bracket 10:
I pick Rawlf's Brush-wood Fusiliers (Wood Elves) to win the bracket in 2 matches.
Gotta believe in the power of AG4, and the Dancers and Tree all have absolutely perfect skills.
Bracket 11:
I pick Captainmalkor's 5th Street Gang (Humans).
As a former Vamps player, I love the 4-vamp team, but I think the Humans' SN/DP catcher and double MB will let them remove a Vamp or two and cripple the Vamp team. Nelphine's Orcs also look scary, with a ton of random skills, but I think the Humans' inducements will hurt.
Bracket 12:
I pick Endrophil's Bloody and Hungry (Vampires).
Yeah, I clearly just have a Vamps bias. That said, Blodge Vampires can do serious work against Ogres and Khorne teams without much Tackle.
Bracket 13:
I pick Dolystria's Sl Necromantic (...Necromantic).
This is the first Necro team in the tournament with skilled Wolves, and I think that'll let them abuse Claw to get past their round 2 Chorf opponent.
Bracket 14:
This is my match, so I'll refrain from predicting, but it was a great game.
Bracket 15:
I pick Elyod's Dark Elfves (Dark Elves).
Beautiful DE team, putting together some Guard-spam in 2020 rules.
Lastly, in Bracket 16:
I pick DaCoach's Full Moon Frenzy Fun (Necromantic).
DaCoach (of BB teaching fame) also has some very nice Wolves, including a +AV wolf (for 10k. smallman approves.) and a MA9 Ghoul. I also think they have a good matchup into either of their round 3 opponents, either with Strip Ball vs no Sure Hands, or 2x Claw into Dwarves.
Hope I'm not too late, Nelphine. : ) |

What a bloodbath it was!
Only one of my players played >8 turns (Varag: 12).
Still, after KO‘ing your last BC, I briefly thought I would win.
Congrats and good luck to you! |

While I appreciate the vote of confidence, I may once and for all dissapoint to say that I am not DaCoach of bbtactics or what the web site is called.
Simply another dude who found his way in here some 18 years ago. |

Thanks! Bloodbath is right, 13 cas total I think? I really thought you had me at the beginning of the second half, when you got ahead on players, but got a lucky turnover and ran away with the ball. I played super greedy for removals at the end of the first half, which was definitely an error. I'm amazed you made it so close, given how brutal the first 4-5 turns were. GG bro. "Köllefornia" is a gem, lmao : ) |

i thought about including it, i can do that next time. but, the sample size is small enough that i figured dice variance made it less useful |
