Am I the only one who's so amped about the prediction game, so much, that I start a topic about it?
Man, the standings are so tense, 67 points for the top 3 and even SPW on the 5th place is with 63, man... now I'm really nervous about it, because if I can't win the championship, at least I should get this one right.
Maybe we could use this thread to like share our predicting strategy with each other? Maybe. I'll start, you guys copy me!
I personally (when I'm not doing it in the last 10 seconds) go through each player's TEL and TUS Classic statistics, looking for recent games, looking for breaks, trying to figure out how active they are in the leagues. I compare the statistics of the two players based on experience, recent games and believed knowledge (where I think they are on an imaginary ladder) and games against each other. I usually take playing style into account - for example, I consider myself a sort of a darksider, I like defensive gameplay, I like hiding and waiting out, but there are very aggressive players also, or intermediate players, like chuvash, who take this scheme in a totally different way.
Then I compare their current standings on EAC and TEL (if any) and current streaks, who they played against with what results and judge the outcome after that.
Considering that I'm leading the prediction game with HHC, I think this is a good strategy.
How do you predict? Just by guts or do you have any routine by which you make your predictions? Did I just give away the winning formula?
I doubt, anyway, really good race we are having this year!
