March Mayhem Brackets

[Valiance]

I don't see another topic up like this here aside from the "pick the winner contest" which isn't exactly the same as "pick the remaining matchups" and I don't know if it should be here or in the other forum or what, but hey. *shrugs*

I was looking at the brackets and started thinking about what will end up being towards the end, and plotting out who I think will be in the finals and such...

Who do you guys think will win each division?
North: I don't know who will pull through - Valve or Turbine.
East: I think ActiBlizz has an easy win here.
West: I think this will end up being Nintendo vs Epic or Nintendo vs Square...Probably Nintendo being the victor.
South: Although Ubisoft vs Bioware is up for debate, I think it's gonna end up being Ubisoft vs Rockstar, and Ubisoft coming out ahead here.

This would leave the semifinals like this:

Valve vs Activision/Blizzard - I think Valve would win this, honestly, but Blizzard shouldn't be counted out.
Turbine vs Activision/Blizzard - I think Blizz would win this one because all the disgruntled Valve fans would vote against Turbine.

That would have Blizz or Valve being on top...

Bottom would end up being Ubisoft vs Epic or Ubisoft vs Nintendo if I'm right, in which case, I think Nintendo would oust Ubisoft, but Ubisoft could probably take out Epic.

Either way, neither would stand against Valve or Blizzard, right?

Finals would be something like Valve vs. Nintendo or ActiBlizz vs Ubisoft.

So, do you think it's gonna be Valve for sure? Or Blizzard? I think those are the only two companies I see winning this tournament, unless the Turbine fans cause another upset.

What do your brackets look like?

Alright, for south, I say it's Bioware, no question.

West, That's totaly up in the air, it could be either Nintendo, Epic, Square, or Bungie. I'll give this round to Nintendo.

East, I don't think Blizzard will take that division so easily. After ll, it has the "Activision Anchor" attacked to it, and there are plenty of anti-fanboys.
Plus, will have some tough competition with Infinity Ward and (hopefully) Double-Fine. I'll have to say Double-Fine on this one. Damn it. Never mind.

North is the really interesting one. Turbine may be powerful, but I certainly wouldn't count out Bethesda. with Sega (the Sonic Killer) still holding its own against Turbine, I predict Bethesday to take down last years champ. The round after that however, will be really interesting. Bethesda vs Valve. That match should generate some interesting discussion. I'm going with Valve to take it.

I'd give you my picks for the semi-finals, but I have no idea how it's set up.

I say Valve will take gold here. The levels of Valve fanboyism on this forum are astounding.

Of course, anything can happen. I mean, Maxis beating ICO? Something is seriously wrong here.
