Match # 22 Results
Ada Wong 38.42%
Balthier Bunansa 33.00%
Frank West 20.13%
Jade Curtiss 8.45%
Another day, another giant upset. The match that was made for Balthier to win, that wasn't supposed to test his range, ended up being won by Ada Wong by over 5%. Jade Curtiss confirmed her...excuse me, *him*self to be one of the weakest characters in contest history, while Frank performed about as expected. Only 7 out of 123 predictions had Ada finishing first. The consensus predictions were Ada - 27.20%; Balthier - 35.99%; Frank - 21.21%
Jade - 15.42%.
Best Five Picks:
1) Cokes - Ada Wong 36.93% - Balthier 36.61% - Frank 17.03% - Jade 9.43% (+47.70)
2) heroic_slb - Ada Wong 33.00% - Balthier 37.00% - Frank 21.00% - Jade 9.00% (+47.29)
3) Starion - Ada Wong 31.66% - Balthier 34.15% - Frank 22.95% - Jade 11.24% (+46.62)
4) cyko - Ada Wong 34.97% - Balthier 38.58% - Frank 15.90% - Jade 10.55% (+46.16)
5) Master Moltar - Ada Wong 30.40% - Balthier 38.50% - Frank 20.30% - Jade 10.80% (+45.99)
Cokes is today's top predictor! He had Ada narrowly beating Balthier, and also had Jade completely bombing, good enough for 47.70 points and the top pick today. This is his second top 5 of the contest. darkx5642358951 had the second best pick, his first of the contest and the only other one over 47 points. Starion continues his tear with his third top 5 in a row - he's now halfway to Darkash's record with almost 2/3 of the contest remaining. Defending champion cyko makes his first top 5 appearance of the season and 30th lifetime - he's struggled so far, but maybe this is the beginning of a comeback? Finally, Moltar gets his first top 5 of the contest, even though he's been near the leaderboard all along - demonstrating the importance of consistency.
Complete Match Ranking:
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SC2k7&type=match&match=22
Current Leaderboard:
1) The n00b Avenger - 1028.45
2) supdawg - 1024.02
3) Master Moltar - 1022.94
4) creativename - 1022.73
5) Haste2 - 1021.96
The top 2 remain unchanged, but The n00b Avenger widens his lead over supdawg to almost 4 and a half points. Moltar jumps up three spots to third place - he finished 2nd in 2005, and I'm sure he'd like to better that this time around. Creativename and Haste2 each drop a spot to 4th and 5th.
On the extended leaderboard, Lt. Kettch drops from 5th down to 8th - he's been alternating between awesome predictions that move him into the top 5 and below average ones that drop him out. Meanwhile, DSRage moved into the top 10 in 10th place.
