Some predictions above.. 6 and 8 have very legit chances of winning, but 1 and 2 in the finals are more likely.

[Arhowk]

Mostly agree with above, though I think 5460s alliance should be able to get out of quarters (though I am a bit biased )

So much for that, 16 upsets 1 in 3 matches

[Doug Frisk]

Whoa!

Congratulations on 5048-548-217 on the upset. Don't think anyone expected that.

I said that our first msc elimination performance wouldn't be forgotten.

I'm not wrong.

With a field this deep, being a higher seed can be a disadvantage. That 3rd robot is more important than ever in this year's game.

Especially when there are 16 alliances

Totally agree.
Champs will be interesting to see.
I would predict very little #1 seeds getting to Einstein.
The fields wont be as deep with 8 divisions and unless the higher seeds can get a good 3rd robot, it wont be enough.

*Exceptions being one of the very few powerhouse teams.

[Arhowk]

There was nothing wrong with the alliance. Both 1684 and 33 missed their climbs. (Also, our freshman driver had never played defense before in his life )

HOT, Rush, and Fighting Pi (27, 67, 1718) just got a new world high score of 230 in a SF tie breaker match.

Edit: Apparently the score is higher and TBA hasn't updated yet. Well, 230 is the high score for MSC, at least.

The current high score is above 250

Also, I told you my sophomore boys were going farther than quarters...

100% accuracy today

Oops... TBA hasn't updated. Edited post to reflect this.

Edit: And did the stream go offline for everyone?

It's dead for me.

[Bob Steele]

Same here... dead going into finals

[FIMAlumni]

Very Choppy stream, but robozone is still up http://www.robozonetv.com/live-stream

Edit: Stream is back up, but robozone is a good backup if it goes down again.
