Well, being "Mr. Tangerine SPeedo" i feel that i should state my opinions on this tourney week, and how i feel it will end up
*Disclaimer* - anything i say is not ment to be hurtful or discriminatory towards these individuals, it's all based on what i've experienced in my 2 years of SS2 gaming, i've played with all of you and know your styles and stratagies - *End Disclaimer*
Speculations:
Sept 7th - 9:00PM EST
1. SoulReaver
2. Seriously Stoned
3. Sepra
4. Jag
5. EdoG
6. Morpheus

Well, as it looks right now, either Seriously Stoned or Sepra coudld take this match, both are very steadfast players and have the potential to dominate this crowd. However, Morpheus is not to be taken lightly at all, although his dial-up 56k modem may prevent him from surfacing his true talent, he's also trained intensely with Strider (a good teacher) in the past. Having been int he Grim Reapers clan myself, i can say i know the styles of Jag and Edog pretty well, i'm going to have to say the success of these two depends on the quality of their starts, if either of them gain some initial momentum, we will see a fine preformance. Unfortunately i know nothing about Soul Reaver, so in my eyes he's the wild card of the bunch.

1. Dark Leviathan
2. Mr. Slik

4. Crism
5. Black Rose
6. Pure_Evil
7. Herbus Maximus
8. Sirc
This Line-up sees a lot of "Classic" talent and a diverse player base. This one will be tight, however (despite my MERC routes) i'm going to have to say Crism (depending if he plays as much as he used to) is going to have a good chance of success, he's an excellent marksman with the shotty and knows how to put up some painful resistence, he's trained with some of the best (strider, marz) and has learend how to apply modern sam techniques to his game. However, The MERC-duo here (DL and SLiK) have an equal success ratio (unless DL just plain sux after years of ego-tysitical braging and a lack of gaming... :P). SLiK's tough hide and impressive understanding of the game put him up there with the best, and should give him an edge. However, we do have both rose and SIRC to consiter, these two patriotic (to the clan) Reapers rely on brute force and in-your-face tactics that put even the best players to a test both skill and stratagy. Then there's Herbus, lately he's really impressed me on the public servers, so this could definately be a chance for him to shine

All i can really say about this game is that it's gonna be INTENSE! Nick, Phoenix, and the "former" merkwannabe are gonna make this match very difficult in the shotty area, each one has a style that makes it hard for them to successfully own each other. Nick has an overall steadfast diversity, one that kills me every time if i make a slip-up or poor judgement call. Wannabe on the other hand has a very good understanding of "plainar" (flat surface) fighting which will either hurt or help him depending on the map. Personally, i would like to see Phoenix take this match though, he's really keen on his tactics and in the past, typically dominates, however, his preformance now is dependant on wetehr or not he's been practicing and keepign his skills up the way wannabe has lately... I can't forget JIMINATOR or Tip though, both are similar to SIRC and Rose in playing style, but have a unique twist...
More to come....
