These predictions are probably going to be completely wrong and its just for fun. If you don't like them, go out and prove me wrong! Have fun making your own predictions!

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

If the Poofs and Guerrillas make it out of the Quarters, they will win it all.

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

I don't have time to do the entire thing but here are my division and overall winners.

Archimedes- Alliance 3
Curie- Alliance 5 (wins the whole thing)
Galileo- Alliance 4
Newton- Alliance 1 (beats Galileo)

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

This seems to be the common consensus. The eight seed seems so much stronger than so many higher seeds across all the divisions.

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

Likewise, if 8th seed Curie (624 987 3476 3015) wins in quarterfinals then they will go on to win Einstein.

A lot of this will probably end up being wrong, especially since I made a few risky picks. As others have said, I think whoever wins Curie Quarterfinal 1 will be at least finalists on Einstein if not champions. :p Definitely some great alliances at champs, and Einstein will be amazing.

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

Archimedes - Alliance 3
Newton - Alliance 1
Galileo - Alliance 5
Curie - Alliance 1

Newton 2-0's Curie on Einstein and wins the CMP.

Someone somehow let 27 and 33 together again, and your 2014 world champions are

27, 33, 334, and 175.

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

You guys really shouldn't be counting out the #5 curie alliance. It seems on par with, if not better than, the #8 alliance.

But I agree that those 3 alliances seem to be the best out of all the divisions. The Curie curse has its work cut out for it.

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

N: 1 vs 2(W)
G: 5(W) v 3
C: 4(W) v 7
A: 1 vs 3(W)

Newton over Archimedes.

Gotta love that MSC alliance.

Shout-outs to Curie #1 (All-Sparks!) and Newton #7 (MakeShift!) to hopefully prove me wrong. I agree that if Curie #1 can get past the semis, they will win it all.

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

The entire red side of the bracket at Curie is just amazing. We'll see Einstein level gameplay in the quarters and semis at Curie. I think whoever can make it out of semifinals 1 at Curie will win it all.


Arc:
1 over 8
5 over 4
2 over 7
3 over 6
1 over 5 in 3 matches
3 over 2
3 over 1


Cur:
1 over 8 in 3
5 over 4 in 3
2 over 7
6 over 3
1 over 5 in 3
6 over 2
1 over 6

Gali:
8 over 1
5 over 4
2 over 7
3 over 6
5 over 8 in 3
2 over 3
5 over 2

Newton:
1 over 8
4 over 5
2 over 7
6 over 3
1 over 4 in 3
6 over 2 in 3
6 over 1 in 3

No point in predicting einstein, it's too tough to tell, even if the consensus is curie winning it all. You can't count out the brilliant minds behind the glass.

Didn't notice until making these brackets, but I seem to be rooting against Canada this time around....

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

Someone likes a good underdog ;)

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

That underdog for Archimedes is looking awfully good right now! 390 points against 2056!!! That is crazy!

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

Where are you guys seeing the match results?!??

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

Solely based on statistical analysis on data from regionals. Lets see how it holds up. Archimedes upset was called already though so theres that.

Einstein alliances still alive :)

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

You called all 4 Einstein alliances correctly. Nice calls.

My prediction is CvN for Einstein finals, Newton wins.

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

Just noticed I predicted Galileo all correct! :D
Only 1/4 for Einstein alliances though. :p

New Einstein prediction:

Curie beats Archimedes
Newton beats Galileo

Curie beats Newton

World Champs: 254, 469, 2848, 74

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

this practice thing is such a waste

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

I wish they'd webcast these matches. Last year they were pretty entertaining, running fake strategies :)

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

They just don't want to run into (dare I say it... Einstein 2012) issues again.

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

Not at all. Huge help to see how the balls are inflated.

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

With your spinning cylinder shooter, did you see variations in shots based more on cover wear, or inflation? I assume inflation.

I do remember seeing the crazy burnout you did on the zipper at CVR. I was waiting to see flames at any second!:D

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

It appears from the stands that the field crew just let some air out...

Not good especially since all four alliances already practiced with them.

Re: Make your Eliminations Predictions!
 

254 just pulled out the secret sauce on 1114 in those first seconds of F1. My friend and I collectively went nuts.
