Cable dying at 11:45, right after typing "Kingdom Hearts with 50" but before hitting "Post Message": priceless

Yeah, i'm still bitter. Not like I'm fighting for the lead anyway =P

Oh, yeah, we had a match on our hands...
OMG Bracket upset! Somehow, Halo was the favorite of this 4-pack, and while 2/3 of the brackets had Kingdom Hearts losing in Round 2, the Oracle contestants saw it coming. There were 54 predictions for Castlevania and 80 for Kingdom Hearts, pulling the consensus at 52.63% for Kingdom Hearts, and allowing us to score an average of 42.73 points, pretty good considering the split.

Best Five Picks:
1) Aprosenf - Kingdom Hearts 51.29% (+49.96)
2) cyko - Kingdom Hearts 51.42% (+49.91)
3) Shivan Reincarnated - Kingdom Hearts 51.44% (+49.89)
4) kaonashi1 - Kingdom Hearts 51.07% (+49.74)
5) ps2rulezzz - Kingdom Hearts 51.80% (+49.53)

Experienced talked yesterday, as most of the Top 5 predictors are regulars of this feature. Aprosenf took the best pick of day with his 3rd Win and 9th Top 5. cyko follows in 2nd place, taking his 2nd Top 5 of the contest and tying Ringworm's record with his 28th (!!!) All-Time Top 5! Shivan Reincarnated grabs his 2nd Top 5 of the season in 3rd, as regulars kaonashi1 (2nd this contest) and ps2rulezzz take 4th and 5th, both with their 13th All-Time Top 5

*looks around*
Alright, time for an apology. I would never never have thought I'd say this someday. And the first time he got on the leaderboard I thought he'd hold there, do something crazy and fall never to come back.
How wrong I was.
steve illumina takes the lead. Yup folks, Board 8's resident sage is laughing at every single one of us as he climbs up one spot for the lead, on his 11th day on the leaderboard. What's even more impressive is the fact that he is the only one in the Top 20 to have called the right winner each and everytime. TheKnightofNee doesn't feel like giving steve more room would be a good idea as he also climbs one spot in 2nd, barely edging former leader Z1mZum who stands in 3rd and well within striking distance of the lead. kaonashi1 jumps from 7th to 4th with a great pick and GalacticMage777 returns to the leaderboard in 5th.
