8/16 in the last round, that was terrible! Ah, well--that's still half correct, and TTN got just twelve, which still leaves a respectable gap between our styles of journalism.

Now, before I get to my predictions, I'd like to take this chance to CURSE WESTERNESSE FOR KNOCKING NÚMENOR OUT!!!

You'll get your just desserts, you wait and see!

Round of 16 predictions:

A1 Doriath >>> H2 Minas Morgul

Túrin has battled Morgoth's forces during the height of his control of Beleriand with lesser help than his current squad. I'm sure he'll manage to beat this bunch of wannabes bad guys in his sleep. With one foot tied behind this back. (C'mon, Doriath! Tirion'll be waiting for you in the finals!)

B1 Wilderland <<< Valinor

Regarding their next match, Arien has been reputed to say, 'You bring dragons? Against me? Is this some manner of joke?' We agree, Arien. We agree.

C1 Angband >>> F2 Tol Eressëa

Let's see. On one hand we have the Iron Hell, on the other the Elf Boat Island thingy. So, yeah, totally obvious. (No offence, Ulmo, but, you have, you know, no offence. )

D1 Eregion > E2 The Forest

In the blue corner, we have Elrond's 'Holly' streak (broken at 18)! In the red corner, we have Bombadil's playing streak (2 games and counting)! LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!

E1 Tol-in-Gaurhoth >>> D2 Barad-dûr

ShastaWolf's his usual psychic self, and the rest of the pack's just as sharp. After this match, it will indeed be Barad-dûr's Last Alliance.

F1 Westernesse <<< C2 Anfauglith

Ten - nil to Ard-galen!!! How's that for karma, golden boy?!?!

G1 Pelóri >>> B2 Misty Mts

Remember what I said in my last article, about Eönwë against a land feature? You know what's goin' down. That's right, a beatdown of cosmic proportions! (Sorry, Saruman, you're not big enough to make Manwë choke.)

H1 Lothlórien <<< A2 Tirion

Fun fact: Galadriel has never won in any contest against Finrod. Be it rock-paper-scissors, 2008 Arda Cup group stage matches, whatever. Even shiniest hair--Galadriel started using Finrod's shampoo after she lost to him. As for Fëanor? His father and father-in-law will give him a good hard lesson in how terrible life is. Should never have left Tirion, pal. (Well, at least you got your hair, harhar.)
