predictions of who's going into round 2....
from group 1:
the beastly XL18Z duo from the North aka XF and GJ should be no surprises. possible but unlikely upset that WCY will make it to the 2nd round at this point which is a pity cuz then it would be a sweet meet of two saintly taoists in round 2. YD goes home.
from group 2:
Z3F should be a no brainer (huge lead atm), 2nd place is sketchy. no clue how its gonna resolve. have a feeling JMZ may make a run for it although hes at last place. but in the end YG most likely prevails cuz he shud have quite a number of fans i think.
from group 3:
a tight one at the moment. i'd want ZBT and ZWJ to make it to 2nd round but with the current craze of "LDA owns all" its likely ZWJ and XYS to enter round 2. LCY most likely stays last.
from group 4:
MRB will most likely enter 2nd round with no problems (much LDA <3 as usual). HYS will come in 2nd with GWM trailing behind. its unfortunate that GWM had too many bad battle moments in the novel. QQR can go play tag with ZBT (if ZBT loses too).
