Heavens Tears TW predictions (4/03 - 4/04)

Finally a 1v1 between Enrage and Radiance, this is going to be interesting.
on a side note, you give ULTRA too much credit

Saturday TWs. I don't like Saturdays.

Since Hisui can't comment on the outcome of the most electrifying match of this weekend due to conflict of interest, I humbly take it upon myself to do just that. Here goes:

Enrage > Radiance in 1 hour 45 minutes b:shocked

Feel free to disagree. b:bye

Even though I'm in Enrage, I'd have to disagree

We beat Rad in about 45 minutes with 8 catapults. With half the catapults, I'd expect the time to be about 2.5 times longer. In other words, as much as I think Enrage is superior to Radiance, I concede that Radiance does have good players that will be hard to drop, and that we will go into the last hour of TW. Between 2-3 hours is my guess.

Outcome of this fight is realy hard to predict.
This will be a hard one. Radiance will send for sure the best of the best from the faction and we will do the same. May the best faction win!!! But for sure all players involved in this fight will have alot of funb:pleased

Good luck to all!!!b:bye

Because it's poor taste to make neutral prediction when you're actually in one of the guilds, giving you a natural bias.

I think it's good Hisui DOESN'T make a prediction of that match.

I'd have to concur.

If he starts predicting that Enrage will lose, even if it's an honest opinion based on facts, it's demoralizing for his own guild. If he predicts that Enrage would win, half the audience would think it's bias. It's best if he doesn't make a prediction for hsi own faction .

Well, despite all the sarcasm I've shown to this subject, I can only say this seriously.

It's an even field tonight. Sure as hell interesting to see how it will turn out.

Believe it or not xtrm9, people aren't that interested in the actual final prediction of the match, but on the body of the prediction. It also serves as a TW newspaper that updates on the major happenings in guilds that most people do not know about.

For instance, did you know Rome merged before reading my thread? Or did you not read it at all?

Too be honest, I was more interested in your take on the Rad/Enrage match.

I've always read your predictions, all the way back to when I was still in Genesis when they were in their prime.

After last week's TW weekend, I thought this week would get better. This server really disappointed me this week. The amount of guilds going to TW this week is a lot less than last week which tbh, doesn't make sense. 2 big guilds crumbled and lost a land last week, 2 big guilds failed to expand, and a possible shift of power is arising in the server. I thought that last week's TW would be a wake up call to all the up-and-coming TW guilds that anyone can participate and have a chance to win.

Alas, this server has once again shown its carebearness. Oh well, maybe next week.


BTW,
defected is giving out cookies to anyone who's gonna attack Enrage next week b:surrender

Indeed.

We only plan on hitting big guilds who are likely to put up a fight. I doubt the cuddly panda would attack any budding TW guilds just for the joy of smashing them.

Personally I encourage new guilds to show their color on the map.

True that is a bit mean. I was actually called a bully for a comment I made about the TW against Kundalini a couple weeks back. Which I still think was funny, but I merely stated that if you're going to play with the big dogs, then you deserve to get bit. So, was that really bullish of me?

Yes, you should be very ashamed. Now go beg their forgiveness, pray and repent to your god, and lash yourself five times across the back as penitence. b:scorn

I like cookies.

idk. there might be a weekend when the urge to be sadistic gets ahold of me and attack a smaller guild that i know we can crush just coz.. b:angry

Do it, Clunker! Let the panda inside you awaken! b:chuckle

And Hisui, keep up the good work. Don't listen to critics.
You're right. Your predictions, in and of themselves, are almost secondary in nature. All the other info that you divulge in your fun-to-read weekly editorial is what makes it worthwhile.

If it was just this > that in X amount of time, it would be quite boring. But when you give some history, as well as the current developments in the guilds, it's quite edifying.

Is nice! I like! b:victory

ULTRA > Rome in less than 15 minutes.

Good fight Rome! You guys were no slouches. Our crystal took quite a bit of damage from your catas. I look forward to seeing you on the map someday soon.

One of these we will be able to run a full team. It was good fight.
