As some of you may be aware, I am currently a part of a large Warcraft community called DJ’s and Zeroes to Heroes. We have multiple raid teams at varying degrees of progression. The raid team formerly known as Team Salt is undergoing a rebrand. The team had the opportunity to make suggestions and then – get this – it will be voted upon in a single elimination, best-of-1 bracket. This may well be the most important democratic race this year!
Round 1 has finished, and now let’s see who has survived and advanced to the second round! We’ll start with the top half of the bracket.
Team Benched squares off against round 1 challenger, Team Last Pull. This one’s going to be a tight race, as both names are pretty indicative of the squad in general. I’m a big fan of Team Last Pull in this situation. It really is only fitting that Last Pull would win out by a vote or something. I hope they take that one and move into the Semi’s!
Prediction: Team Last Pull
Team Dumpster Fire would be waiting in the wings for it’s next challenger, and it’s Team Pepper. This one’s not going to be a significant contest. Team Dumpster Fire will easily overtake Team Pepper here just by virtue of what it symbolically represents: An actual dumpster fire. Has this team been a dumpster fire at times? Oh definitely it has felt that way at some points. Will it shake off that reputation? Probably not.
Prediction: Team Dumpster Fire
Now let’s check out the bottom half of the bracket.
Now we have the safe pick of Eclipse against Guild Level Zeroes. Will Eclipse take it? I hope so. It just sounds cooler in comparison. I’m giving Guild Level Zeroes a zero chance of advancing forward.
Prediction: Eclipse
Our final matchup involves… Mankrik’s Wives? Hmm, they might have a chance against Ouroboros. This one could go either way as well. How many wives does Mankrik even have? Will there be enough to overcome and overwhelm Ouroboros?
Prediction: Ouroboros
Only two more rounds left!
