5) One-Two Punch - 89.42 (th3l3fty: +44.78 / yazzy14: +44.64)

The top 4 teams today were all solo predictions, which isn't too surprising for such a crazy match (the scoring rules for when your partner misses a match make it easier to be in the top 5 if the result is unexpected). DpOblivion's Mets & Sonic at the Oracle Games is first, followed by Paratroopa's Paraswirlsion. IhatethisCPU carries Team It's An Upset! And You're On Your Own to third, and Vlado gets fourth for Team of Wolf and Man. The dead weight on those four teams was WiggumFan, swirldude, GameBopAdv, and Zylo the Wolf, respectively. The first real team is Team One-Two Punch (th3l3fty and yazzy), in fifth.
