"Hey come on guys, catch me if you can!"

Alright,11 contestants. My bias will stop here I promise. 38 straight days inthe lead. Does anything else need to be said about him? He holds 4solid achievements, and 3 records, one of which will quite probablynever be broken. Got his SpC2k4 title stolen right under his nose whenStarcraft failed to roll over and die against Wind Waker. He was in 2ndplace in SC2k4 when he was abducted be aliens and disappeared from thecontest scene.

"Do I really look like I'll settle for second place?"

Kaxonkept a pretty high average in the 14 matches he predicted in SpC2k4,and he showed it wasn't a fluke with his incredible performance inSC2k4. He entered the leaderboard on day 4 and never left, spending 50days in the Overall Top 3. Gambled his 2nd place on Cloud in the lastmatch, payed the price by dropping down to 4th. Will he show hisstrength again or was 2004 his lucky year?

*casts Sora-factor on self*. "This contest's easy!"

Withan ever-increasing average, Rodri316 is in for a good fight this year.In SpC2k4 he pulled out one of the biggest moves in all Oracle historyby predicting Sora's solid victory, grabbing both the lead and 25points over all the previous leaders at once. His Solid Snake-bias washis downfall, but he is nonetheless to be considered as a strongcandidate to the title. One of 8 contestants with 3 Top 30 finishes.
