All Star Text Tournament #1
What is YOUR verdict?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
... And so it has begun, one of the best-looking text tournaments in LetsBeef history. A lot of us might be thinking that the evidently large number of heavyweights in the tournament will lead to closer, more exciting battles. Perhaps there will be a dominant performance throughout by a certain heavyweight? Most importantly, however, this tournament will show the truest colours of each emcee; for if, by any chance, an underdog was to win this tournament, it would be absolutely certain to say that they are the biggest, fiercest underdog on Letsbeef today.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So please, set down your predictions.

Most Unfair Matchup for Round 1...
Most Anticipated Round 1 Battle...

Most Likely Champ...

ViTRiOL's Predictions and Opinions
Fairly hard to determine, using purely personal opinions.
Most Unfair Matchup for Round 1:
Not that I think StiiGMata isn't a contender, it's not that at all... but to be put up against UA in any circumstance? That's never lucky. However, you NEVER know.
Most Anticipated Round 1 Battle:
Mikey DeNiro vs -Mr SPLAT- ... ROTY 2011 and potential champion going up against another potential champion. I think this will be very interesting in the approaches taken by both emcees.
The Underdog:
Because of the colossal line up for hard-hitters, even one of the best could be an underdog! The underdog for me is ReVoke/Prose. He has buckets of potential and when on top of his game, he could bully a giant.
The Semi-Finals:
Tough one to call this, so many close battles will lead to this stage...
But, based on the forms of said emcees, this is my verdict.
Top Half Semi - UA/Mikey DeNiro/RhetoriKaL vs DaDDiO/RiCan
Bottom Half Semi - reEFer vs RULE
(I think UA definitely has a chance of making the Semis, but down to form and rustiness, I think there will be an interesting lead-up to these battles.)
The Final:
Again, this comes down to form and how the tourney has affected it.
Mikey DeNiro vs RULE
Most Likely Champ:
So far, I think my predictions have been pretty "safe", or whatever you would call them. But I think the excitement of a tourney is when the tournament progresses and it shows how far off you were.
But, looking towards in general, I think this tourney's champ will be...
I'ma get back to this.
Now, I know y'all are probably yawning in pain.
But I repeat it, the excitement of this tourney is that it could be far off a predictable result, seeing as it as All-Star blowout... it might have a "converse" result. (HAHAHAHAHAHA)
Can't fucking wait.

(Sidenote 1: Add whatever things you think are necessary to the thread.
I haven't exactly set the 'Semi-Finals/Most Likely Champ' things as strict guidelines... It's purely encouraging general talk of the tourney. If you were to just answer those ones, you would be being
predictable.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Sidenote 2: As the battle progresses, I will be adding bigger posts, like this one, to engage conversations about what battles have been created since Round 1 and 2. For example, when the Quarter Finals comes, there's gonna be a lot of interesting changes in people's outlooks.)
