I'm just going to predict Kawada over Nas and enjoy my 100 points.

Very hard to judge based on not seeing most of these people's promos.  I'm mostly going on character work and where I see stories going.  Also, there's interference and other shenanigans to be considered.  For example, despite Phantom Troupe being banned from interference, you gotta believe that they'll still find a way to tip the scales in their favor.  Also, I'm betting heavy on myself because, well, I'm going to try to put my best foot forward for this tournament and turn a few heads.  

TL;DR - this is all just guesswork, so hopefully no one will take my picks personally.

Round 1:
CM Nas
Tarah Nova
Pendragon
Kirill
Gronk
Vedder
Keller
Endeavor

Notes: I don't think that Pendragon's win over Saul Omen will be without shenanigans.  I feel that Shoot Nation has to get someone through the first round, and I feel like Pendragon will become the rising star of Shoot Nation, so I see him gutting out a win over Omen, possibly capitalizing on a miscue.

Round 2:
CM Nas
Pendragon
Gronk
Endeavor

Notes: Nas and Tarah will be a really interesting match up and also will probably involve some shenanigans.

Round 3:
CM Nas
Endeavor

Notes: Could just as easily be Pendragon & Gronk, but whatever, I'm going to bet on myself.  I really feel that the finals will be Phantom Troupe vs Shoot Nation or Ronin.

Winner:
CM Nas

Notes: Likely not without controversy, in order to build up more heat for PT, setting themselves up as the largest threat that they should be.  Hopefully establishing Endeavor as a mover and shaker in Ronin.

Or this could all be wrong!  Obviously TCC got a bit of the short end here, but they could just as easily become the spoilers and dark horses here.  Whichever way it goes, have fun, everyone.  I'm looking forward to an awesome tournament!

How does one go about asking their opponent out on a date, but at the same time beating them to a bloody pulp? Any advice would be welcomed.
