I have a feeling this will be a toss up between Pig, Kev, and Clint.


D-Que Beats, good stuff man. That Cyrax is doing work.
It's funny because it will be the luck of the draw then if they go Mileena, Kabal, Sonya.... Sonya blows up Mileena, Kabal blows up Sonya, Mileena makes Kabal struggle (there is no character that blows up Kabal). So someone will get a shitty draw.

Interesting as your post sounds, Pig particularly picked up Kenshi for Clint's Sonya(and then became an uber-boss at him in the process). Clint is no pushover, he's got his own menagerie of characters to choose from. Kev i've barely seen play but i've been impressed every time.

It's probably gonna be a counterpicking final. Which I enjoy because I love seeing different characters being used to fight against different characters, and how some people come up with creative ways to approach their bad matchups.
 
I am just loving that 2 ATL local players are in the Top 8. Everyone should know both Pig Of The Hut and Clint the Beast are capable of winning the tournament. I am pulling for you both, and I just hope Clint is at the proper level of drunkeness to preform tomorrow at his top level. For those not in the know Clint top level of performance is no where near sober. Dude drinks more than I do which is really saying something.

PS My money is on Pig to win.
