My Predictions for 1st round:
Exalt (Whitebeard) vs Qes (DoT) - honestly this is one for the ages. exalt rps skills have dramatically improved in the last month and I personally have seen him practicing in his gh vs primetime and he 3-0'd prime in rps by using the paper/scissor tactic that has been taking off on the server lately. Exalt also seems to respond when someone pulls out scissors and he clutches it. Qes on the other hand don't doubt his use rock, he knows how to throw that out at the correct time. He still tends to throw out paper at the wrong time but his 3-2-1 combo is improving.

My Predicted Winner: Exalt - never doubt the passion of a basement dwelling no lifer.

------

Demrow (SLX) vs Pip Daddy (Holy) - HOLY VS SLX - personally demrow said he might not make it so Pip might have an ez first round bye unless we get this replaced. Pip tends to use paper while demrow is more of a scissors guy, should be interesting matchup if it happens. I personally saw Pip getting rekt by a couple siderooming rps members the other day so he is going to have to bring his A game if he wants to take down the Dem.

My Predicted Winner: Demrow (SLX) - if he shows up


------

Mac (M8S) vs Kicko (Sage) - lots of drama in this matchup. These 2 seem to not get a long and they have a history here which Kicko makes sure to talk about 5 times every day:

But this is RPS and not some no skill **** like sparring. This is Mac's chance to redeem himself for almost being 10-0'd in dumb spar. Personally I think Kicko has the edge in this match as his 6-2-1 RPS nitro combos are pretty unique and crazy.

My Predicted Winner: Kicko (Sage) - his 6-2-1 nitro combination with scissor/paper might be too much for Mac. Mac is going to get the 3-6-1 down first.


-----

Inco (VIS) vs 205 (Whitebeard) - Inco can practice all he wants but no matter what he will always have a negative RPS ratio for a reason. He tends to choke and he doesn't even have the 3-2-1 down and just throws out rock like a blockhead. He is going to need a miracle to even win once vs me.


My Predicted Winner: 205 (Whitebeard) - inco aint got **** on me, expect me to flaw his ass and calling him out live on stream

-----

aTor (Government) vs Rebels (VIS) - Rebels has claimed himself as the gold standard of RPS and no one will even come close to beating him in this tournament. That may be true if he meant the gold standard of dog ****. Rebels is overrated and I saw him get flawed by Inco, that's how bad he is. aTor's game is solid, he plays it safe and doesn't get fooled by paper like ever. His reaction time to throw out scissors is above average and his RPS ratio has improved dramatically and he can clutch with scissors quite often, it's impressive.

My Predicted Winner: aTor

-----djjddid

Jose (VIS) vs Kieran (is weeb) - I'll be honest I am not sure if Jose even knows how to RPS so this might be a unique match. I've seen some cases where a player that is just learning get some beginners luck but at the same time I know Kieran has been practicing his RPS non stop and getting the 7-2-1 6-4-1 3-2-1 scissor overthrow to paper combos down a lot. Kieran actually might be one of the best RPS to ever set foot on graal and is my personal favorite to win it all. Kieran is basically the RPS community god.
Jdjssisi

My Predicted Winner: Kieran - Kieran is the best RPS'r of all time, don't see him going down in the 1st round and his use of scissor can't be beaten.


----

Collin (Canada) vs TBD - Colin doesn't have a match yet but I wanted to point out no matter who goes up vs Colin... Colin will lose because he is horse **** and sucks.

My Predicted Winner: Anyone but Colin

James205 and Ator wanted to host a tournament between current and aspiring Rock Paper Scissor legends, so we set up a bracket of 32: http://challonge.com/classicrps


It'll be on on Saturday, December 10th @ 7pm EST in James205's guild house. Everyone will show up and we'll run through the bracket just like the GST.
James should be streaming it on his Twitch channel, and Zetectic sent me a PM so he might be around to make sick metal edits for YouTube.


Winner will get $20, generously offered by James. We're also going to have a bracket predictions contest, sort of like a March Madness thing. I don't have too many ideas for a prize yet, but right now I'm willing to give 10 Christmas gifts to whoever first comments the name of the final winner. We'll probably come up with something more, but for now just consider it to be for bragging rights.


(Q)To participate in the prediction contest, simply reply to this thread with who you think will win the entire tournament. The first person to predict the winner will get the prize. You don't have to predict a score, just the winner of the tournament.(/q)

⊙ω⊙
This is supposed to just be a fun holiday thing for Graal, but we're trying to get others involved and maybe show staff that there's interest in an official Rock Paper Scissors tournament. Thanks in advance to anyone who shows up to watch and to James and Ator for the idea and prize offering.

The veterans have nothing, this is a new generation with new and improved tactics that those oldies wouldn't stand a chance against. Honestly, they'd just be wasted spots in the tournament, I don't think I couldn't see a single one making it past the first round unless they were up against Jose. They're all washed up.

lol veterans always win bro. You are talking veterans that have won like 7 RPSTs vs noobies that are 0/4. It's about leadership mostly as an individual  

if you wanna win this tournament watch this video!!!

You seem to be missing the fact that these veterans have been out of the loop for quite some time and are unfamiliar with the younger generation's tactics. The game of RPS has evolved tremendously since the days of these older guys, and personally I don't think they have what it takes to compete at the highest level anymore.

Dark (RD) vs Red (Whitebeard)
These guys literally hate each other so whatever the outcome is it'll be hilarious. Dark has always been somewhat of a meme in the RPS community. I think after losing 20-something RPSTs in a row, he finally got his first RPST win during the last tournament. He tends to rank himself pretty high in RPS tiers but no one is really sure what he's thinking when he does that. Red on the other hand sees through this and won't have much of a problem winning this round.
Predicted winner: Red (Whitebeard)

Shoutout to ever set up this match, lmfao.
Hopefully my skills gained over my 10:1 RPS Career will help me take out this tourny today.

I'm predicting Colin to go over Carly due to Carly being DQ'D for speed RPSING
