BoBA Predictions: ISML 2008 Tiara Loser's Bracket Final

BoBA Predictions:
Saimoe Triple Deal

I have decided to go right ahead and make three new predictions for the upcoming contests.

ISML 2008 Tiara Loser's Bracket Final
The Cleansing of the Rusted Cities
New York, NY, USA

I've been on a dry spell with my predictions. Since Loser's Bracket Round 2, I pick against Konata, and Konata wins. I pick in favor of Konata, and Konata loses.

Screw these voters; I am going to keep plugging away until we find the person that will get the 2008 ISML Tiara.

#7 Kagami Hiiragi vs. #6 Yuki Nagato

I have been on a dry spell with my predictions here. But I will not give up until we find out who gets the 2008 ISML Tiara, whether right or wrong. Let's be honest here: even so-called "experts" get trumped every now and then. There is no such thing as an expert when it comes to prognosticating any match.

Especially this one, taking place at the home of the 9/11 tragedy, New York City.

With that said, Fate Testarossa Harlaown already took off for Tokyo, with her supporters waving her farewell. Meanwhile, Yuki Nagato was able to stop Konata Izumi, 519-445. In a recent interview with Brian Griffin on The Lunch Hour, Fate had this to say. (The full text of the interview can be seen here.)

"You know, that's a tough question. Well, if you ask me, I would love to take on Yuki. I know she is off on her own after Haruhi got upset by Konata, but I would love send Yuki off the face of the earth. Literally and figuratively. But really, the reason is also this. I would have a tough time dealing wth Konata, to be honest. She could be the toughest opponent I could be facing on November 4. I mean, she has a track record of defeating some very good competitors in this tournament. Look at the opponents she has eliminated. Suigintou. Haruhi. Tomoyo Sakagami, who finished second to me in the overall regular season standings. Shana. Those are opponents she hasn't been able to win against, with the exception of Suigintou, in the regular-season round robin. To knock those folks off...that's impressive. I would be on my heels if it was me and Konata.
"As for Kagami, well, there is no question she is determined to even the score if she is able to take out either Yuki or Konata, but I'd like to take on someone different in the final. And for a change of pace. I want it to be me and Yuki competing for the Tiara."

Hey Fate, you'd be careful what you wish for there...it might actually come true. And if you ask me, I think it will. You want Yuki, you got Yuki. Because the Bedlam is calling for Yuki to win.

BoBA Predicts: Yuki by less than 100

2chan Saimoe 2008 Semifinals

At this point, we are also in the semifinals of the 2channel Saimoe tournament, and by the looks of things...it could be a sister war! Or will it? Hmmm. The Bedlam finds itself in a pinch after seeing the recent results for the Lucky Star crew. And so, it's calling for a match that some people are hoping for.

But first, the predictions.

BoBA Predicts: Nagisa Furukawa by more than 100

It's about the momentum. Or rather, moementum. Or to be precise, dango moementum. You talk about the only survivor from Clannad, and it is the main protagonist, Tomoya's wife, the mother of Ushio, the girl from the illusionary world, the one who summoned back the Big Dango Family. It's going to be Nagisa, who is slated to halt a sweep of her, Tomoyo and Kyou.

It's dango time.

BoBA Predicts: Hinagiku Katsura by more than 100

Hinagiku has been a bit off the radar...until now. If HIna wins the 2chan Saimoe 200, she will achieve a unique double: winning Korea and Japan in consecutive years (she won Korea Best Moe last year). Of course, Suiseiseki still has the honor of sweeping both sides of the East Sea of Japan in 2006, but times have changed.

Hina, after October passes, will be one win from a historical milestorm. The Bedlam calls for it.
