 And you know Nogrod, it's clear I've been gravely under-estimating Dor-Lomin's potential all year (I didn't even have 'em making it out of group play!), so if Hithlum is defeated, I'm in trouble and the door's open.  I'll tell you too, I'm not so great at the NCAA March Madness that we have in the US. I usually start out of the gates really hot the 1st couple rounds, but once it gets down to 16, and the Elite 8, everything breaks down. That is when I start hoping everyone else's Tourney brackets just start getting messed up. Edoras and Minas Morgul was a tough one too call, that was virtually a toss-up for me, and that hurt some people. But the real killer had to be Mirkwood's surprising win over Tuna, no one saw that one coming!

 But this is a risk-taking game... Last year I was doing pretty good as well (not this good) and went on for real risks (eg. choosing different than other people did) and lost heavily in the end. I have a bad feeling about this one as well, but the one who is afraid should not gamble!

And now– predictions.
Angband vs Tol-in-Gaurhoth– Winner: Angband. Dor-Lomin vs Hithlum– Winner: Hithlum. Armenelos vs Minas Morgul - Winner: Armenelos. Mirkwood vs Valimar: Winner: Valimar. And if I'm wrong on any of this, I'm in big trouble!

Transfers:
Celebrimbor out; Alatar in Finwë out; Melkor in Jeez, Phantom, it seems cruel that we were allowed unlimited trades when we didn't really need them, but only two now when you'd trade an arm for a decent goalie! Shadwell Army -GK- Aule (Tuna) 2 -DF- Elfwine (Edoras) 0 *DF- Ulmo (Hithlum) 2 -DF- Ar Zimrathan (Armenelos) 2 *DF Alatar (Valimar) -MF- Telvildo (Angband) 1 *MF- Fingolfin (Hithlum) 0 -MF- Arien (Valimar) 4 **MF Melkor (Valimar) (C) *FW- Ar Pharazon (Armenelos) **FW- Fëanor (Hithlum) Predictions: Angband vs Tol-in-Gaurhoth– Winner: T-i-G Dor-Lomin vs Hithlum– Winner: Hithlum. Armenelos vs Minas Morgul - Winner: Armenelos. Mirkwood vs Valimar: Winner: Valimar. (they'd better!)

So I picked the good teams, but terrible players. Ah well. With my two trades, I have just around a full team. Let's see if they can play like they mean it in the quarters.
--Earendil (Eregion) --Celebrimbor (Eregion) ++Ar Adunakhor (Armenelos) ++Gloredhel (Dor-Lomin) The Next-to-Last Alliance *GK- Tar Atanamir (Armenelos) *DF- Balrog #3 (Valimar) -DF- Gloredhel (Dor-Lomin) -DF- Elfwine (Edoras) -DF- Balrog #5 (Angband) *MF- Phantomwolf (TIG) *MF- Ar Adunakhor (Armenelos) -MF- Fingon (Hithlum) *FW- Maedhros (Hithlum) (C) *FW- Sauron (Armenelos) *FW- Maeglin (Angband) My picks: Angband vs Tol-in-Gaurhoth - While I would love to say Angband, they just don't have the stopping power this year without Melkor or their legions of Balrogs. T-i-G Dor-Lomin vs Hithlum - Dor-Lomin got farther than I expected them to, but Hithlum is on top. Hithlum Armenelos vs Minas Morgul - Now this is a matchup. Numenoreans vs. Nazgul, Men vs. Orcs, and Sauron vs. the Witch King. Armenelos Mirkwood vs Valimar - Mirkwood has a good all-around roster, emphasizing teamwork between Men, Elves, and Worse things. Valimar has near-divine power on their side. I know who I'm going for. Valimar
