118/1678 in Newton seem pretty formidable, especially since they have played together and have the expertise to cheesecake both their 3rd and 4th picks. Whoever gets to Einstein, the competition will be both sublime and intense. Both 254 and 1114 are very strong, and depending how they pick their allies, can be hard to beat. There seems to be a big gap between 1678 (993 QA) and 2826 (658 QA), but it is the strength of the alliance, not the individual top seed that counts. It might actually help to have both your third and 4th picks to be can grabbers, since it possible to sustain damage in a tug-of-war as 971 found out at SVR.

Anyway, it will be fun to watch. Go Teams!
