So, since Shiraishi didn't actually play in the match I guess that round of predictions is cancelled. Any objections?

No, that seems fair to me.

 

[Kaoz]

This is starting to become depressing.

Well, I'm putting my money where my mouth is:

Spoiler: Vs Australia

D2: Ishida/Kite
D1: Akutsu/Niou
S3: Tooyama
S2: Atobe
S1: Oni

Spoiler: Vs Switzerland

D2: Hakamada/Fuji
D1: Kimijima/Marui
S3: Sanada
S2: Watanabe
S1: Byoudouin

Main tournament teams:
0.5 point teams: Germany, France, Spain, USA, Argentina, England, Belgium
1 point teams: Czech Republic, Russia, Serbia
2 point teams: Australia, Brazil, Sweden, Aramenoma, Tube Republic

 

[Anera]

... The worst is that I'm more certain about my chosen 2 points teams than the 1 point ones.

0.5 point teams: Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, USA, Argentina, England, Belgium
1 point teams: Czech Republic, Italy, Serbia, Denmark
2 points teams: China, Aramenoma, Brasil

Uhm, ok, gonna prepare my prediction. Basically all we know is in this link right http://princeoftennis.wikia.com/wiki/Group_League ?

That and the general rankings. Also, I just edited that wiki page since it's South Africa in Group A and not Canada, so keep that in mind.

 

[Hardy]

Prolly the lamest picks ever:

0.5 : All of them.

1: Russia, Serbia, Denmark, Czech Republic, Canada.

2: Tube, Brazil.

I expect Aramenoma to play the US in the group phase -and that will be all they'll do in the manga- so yeah they won't make it imo.

 

[Kaoz]

Alright, we have a big update incoming. First of all, here are everyone's predictions against Australia. Just as last time, I will award points for them once all matches are over.

Spoiler

Australia:
S1: Atobe , S2: Kintaro , S3: Gin, D1: Ochi + Mouri , D2: Marui + Kijima

Secondly, the overall result against Greece:

Spoiler

Japan beat Greece 5-0

Japan beats Greece 5-0 (or 3-0).

Japan wins 5-0 (3-0)

Japan wins 5-0

They beat Greece 3-2

Round 6
1. Asclepius (2)
1. Divine evil (2)
1. Kaoz (2)
1. Ken (2)
5. Hardy (0)

Next up, the line-up predictions we made for the matches against Greek. Nobody predicted either Shiraishi or Tanegashima for S3, so that luckily doesn't need to be covered in this round, but in case something similar happens again in the future, I will award points to everyone who predicted either player for a given position, regardless of whether they were scheduled to play or actually played. I hope this won't open another can of worms, if it does we might need to revisit the ruling in the future.

Spoiler

S1: Irie, S2: Shuuji, S3: Akutsu, D1: Hakamada + Tohno, D2: Shiraishi + Kirihara

To avoid any confusion I will be tallying the points for overall participation in a separate round once the entire Group League is over.

And finally, the updated overall rankings.

Overall
1. Hardy (13.5)
1. Ken (13.5)
3. Kaoz (13)
4. LetalHawk (12)
5. Asclepius (9.5)
6. FrostyMouse (9)
6. Philia (9)
8. Ganonslayer101 (8.5)
9. Animariano (3)
9. Divine evil (3)
11. Anera (2.5)
10. Tato (1)

I hope I added everything correctly, let me know if you spot a mistake anywhere.

We also have two new predictions this month:

1. Japan vs Australia
2. Yukimura/Sanada vs Hopman/Fitzgerald

The deadline for both of these predictions is when spoilers for chapter 198 become available.

Furthermore, I'd like to set the deadline for the main tournament participant predictions to when the match between Japan and Australia is over, i.e. once we have spoilers confirming the winner, all predictions are locked.

 

[Hardy]

1. Japan win 3-0
2. Yukimura/Sanada win 6-4

 

[Kaoz]

I can't say I'm convinced, but I gotta do it:
1. Japan vs Australia 2-3
2. Sanada/Yukimura vs Fitzgerald/Hopman 7-6 (7-5)

 

[Hardy]

You think Australia might end up being a powerhouse? Would be interesting -even more after we learnt about Noah and how strong the crowd effect is- although I don't see it likely.

I mostly think it'd be interesting if Japan had to play against Switzerland with the qualification on the line rather than to determine whether they end up first or second in the group, and it would nicely mirror the situation from 2 years ago against France. Also, if Dorgias or someone else beat Oni, I think it would make for a better hype tool for America or Germany later on than saying "Amadeus lost to Byoudouin, now he's losing harder to Volk" or whatever.

So rather than saying that I have faith in Australia (which I don't, I think realistically Japan is going to win 3-1), I think it would make the rest of the story more interesting if it happened. And if I don't predict it and it does end up happening I'll be kicking myself forever.

 

[Anera]

Japan wins 3-1
Yukimura/Sanada pair wins 7-5

 

[Sheekee]

Japan wins with 3-0.
Yukimura-Sanada wins with 7-6.

 

[LetalHawk]

Japan wins 3-1

Yukimura/Sanada win 7-5. They both lost their last matches, they will win.

 

[Animariano]

Japan wins 3-2

Yukimura/Sanada win 6-4.

 

[-Ken-]

Japan win 3-1

Yuki/Sanada win 7-5

 

[Kaoz]

Predictions for Yukimura/Sanada vs Fitzgerald/Hopman and Japan vs Australia are closed now.

Now, do you guys already want to do predictions for D1 or wait until next month?

 

[-Ken-]

The thing is that if we make predictions now, it'll be without knowing the characters and it'll be hard to guess the score from that.

If we don't make the discussion now though, we'll get more information on the match and it'll be "unfair" on that.
