OH NO you cursed me!!!
He sure did curse me. I've never ended up further from the finals

Team Tournament winner: It would be Deri, Jake and I, but we're probably not playing. Gotta give others a shot.
I stand by this statement.

Jedi Challenge winner: As always, someone from the midwest
CORRECT! I do live in the midwest. We're never gonna let that title head south.

Sith Trials winner: Total crapshoot. Since Epic Duos is randomly assigned it's a large part luck.
Indeed it was. But it was still fun.

Oh - and I should say who my pick is for The TILE WARS world championship - Brad P aka The_Celestial_Warrior. I love how much thought and effort he puts into his squads. He really comes up with creative mayhem.
Missed this one. Poor Brad had to face the squad I made and Deri played, which just happened to be a perfect counter for his death shot rookies. Congrats to Chris Pulis, 2011 TILE WARS world champion!!!

Meta: Not as many Lancers as people seem to think (but still a handful).
Correct. I think there were 4 or 5 total

I am predicting more Solo Charge or slight tweaks of that squad.
Correct

Republic will make a surge vs what we saw at regionals
SOOO Correct!

and there will be a scatter of imps and ever-present rebels.
Correct again

There will be a couple great players playing OR
Close - there was 1

but I think it will miss the top 8.
Incorrect here. OR won it all, but was close to not making the top 8.
TimmerB123 wrote:
Same with Vong and Mandos, though in even fewer numbers.
Correct, though Vong had slightly more players than I thought

I'd be SHOCKED to see Sith make the top 8.
And . . . correct

Top 8 Factions: 2 NR, 2 Seps, 2 Republic, 1 Imp, 1 Rebel.
Close! 2 NR, 1 rebel were nailed. Swap the imp for OR and one of the Seps for a republic and we're there. Sep was 9th place, so it was very close.

Top 8 players by Region: 3 from Chicago, 1 from MI, 1 from Canada, 1 wildcard . . . and I guess 2 from the south
Wow! Really close! Ian is the wildcard, nailed Canada and MI, so that leaves one Chicago swapped for a Missouri boy.

Tim or Graham?: Definitely Graham
Guess I was wrong here

As far as specific names for the top 8, well . . .
I think 6 of 8 will be from this list:
Top 8 front runners (in no particular order)
Bill R
Deri M
Matt P
Trever P
Eric F
Jason K
Lou V
Graham B
David W
Greg S
Daniel S
1 Additional will come from this list:
Dark Horses (in no particular order)
Jake K
Tony M
Mike G
Ben J
Jim M
Matt S
Ricky H
Chris P
Ian G
and 1 will come from out of the blue, not on either of these lists.
Eh, not half bad. 5 of the 6 I predicted came from the front runners list, and the other 3 came from the dark horse list.
Anyway - just thought I'd have some fun seeing where predictions ended up
