Match # 34 Results
Samus Aran 45.96%
Scorpion 24.01%
Frog 17.45%
Midna 12.57%

No surprises today - Samus won easily, and Scorpion was comfortably ahead of Frog for second place. The consensus predictions were: Samus - 43.05%; Scorpion - 23.08%; Frog - 19.88%; Midna - 14.29%. The average score was 47.05.

Best Five Picks:
1) Haste2 - Frog 17.50% - Midna 13.00% - Samus 45.50% - Scorpion 24.00% (+49.76)
2) RockMFR 5 - Frog 18.00% - Midna 12.00% - Samus 46.00% - Scorpion 24.00% (+49.70)
3) kawaiifan - Frog 18.00% - Midna 13.00% - Samus 45.00% - Scorpion 24.00% (+49.51)
4) Kaxon - Frog 17.51% - Midna 13.61% - Samus 45.63% - Scorpion 23.25% (+49.45)
5) smitelf - Frog 16.50% - Midna 13.68% - Samus 45.79% - Scorpion 24.03% (+49.43)

When Haste2 decides to make a good pick, he doesn't mess around - this is his third #1 prediction of the contest. It's also his 11th top pick all time and his 33rd top 5. In addition, it's the best prediction of the contest so far at 49.76 points.

The top 5 was very high scoring today overall - RockMFR had the second best pick today, with 49.70 points, which would have been the best score of the contest before Haste2's 49.76. Kawaiifan made the top 5 for the second day in a row, and Kaxon also made the top 5 for the second time this contest (something I haven't done since 2004). Both of us had scores that were in the top 10 for the whole contest. Smitelf got her first top 5 of the contest (although she's been near the top of the standings for quite a while) with the 12th best prediction of the contest.

With kawaii in 3rd, Kax in 4th, and King Morgoth in 6th, this has to be the best day for the k-crew since sc2k4. =)
