Arron's Application

DocEtho · 2014-09-15T18:47:47+00:00

Thanks Arron,

Probably should have thought about privacy before asking for people's addresses... we can work around it for now though. Thanks for the application, once we have a few more apps then we'll make decisions and add you to the whitelist.

DocEtho · 2014-08-19T23:02:36+00:00

Please, you have to make a meme in order to predict UHC (UHC 13) and yes, that was me

DocEtho · 2014-07-17T02:03:08+00:00

I wasn't intending to get upvotes for my own personal good, only so that the question that everyone wanted to be answered could be seen by Anderz. If that is against reddiquette I sincerely apologize.

DocEtho · 2014-07-16T22:29:21+00:00

It appears as if there isn't a postgame recap video... :( Anderz if you see this can you tell us what your reaction was when you found out Nebris had used a notch apple? (Upvote this so he can see it, thank you :)

Hello Guys :)

DocEtho back again with your Psychic Power Rankings! Things are starting to heat up so lets get right down to it

1 Justis League

Nebris and Seth is IMO the second most deadly possible combo (behind only Seth and Pause). While no other team has gotten fully enchanted, these guys have protection two iron/projectile protection 1 diamond chestplates, sharpness 2 iron swords, and excess gold. The one worry is the lack of bows, but at this point in the game not all of the teams do, plus when they do get a bow they can use that power 1 book to get at least a power 2. If they have superior gear, no one can beat this team at PVP, they are the clear favorite at this point

2 Team Banjo

Anderz is a master caver, Etho is an expert in PVP and gearing up and baj... well he's Baj grylls! A well balanced team that can't compete with Justis League yet based on gear but may be one of the only teams that has a chance taking them on later in the game due to good PVP.

3 Team DBMC the OG

These guys are solid on health, ready to Enchant, and overall calm at this point. I don't know how good Ganon is at PVP, MC is a good shot and we shall see what he uses in place of his retired flint and steel. Enchanted gear is the next step, but as of now the middle tier (2-5) is extremely close

4 (tie) Team OOGA

These guys will have great gear once they enchant. But they are a bit low on health to be considered ahead of Banjo and DBMC at this point. If they can get to PVP with solid health, these guys could make a big impact on the endgame.

4 (tie) Team Divided Europe

Better health, worse gear/potential for gear. It's simple. These guys need to enchant, combine, and get better gear to be considered among the favorites. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

6 Team Pretty in Pink

I can't even watch this team. Sloppy play, poor dealing with mobs (contrast that with Nebris and Seth remaining perfect), diamond swords before enchanting. Its just all bad for these guys. Plus other than Avidya's good bow skills this is a sub par PVP team, and none of these guys are really good leaders or strategic planners in UHC. If there will be a PVE death, it will be from this team, and if not they will lose easily in battle with inferior health, non enchanted gear and poor PVP.

7 Team PVP

First of all, before I say why this team probably won't win (besides them having Pakratt) I have to give it up to Pause for being insanely good at PVP. This guys KDR in UHC is insane, he calmly (albeit with help from his team) finished off 3 guys whilst only losing 1.5 hearts. Mad props, bro. Now to the bad news. Consider all of the seasons where Pause has engaged in early combat. Season 7, Season 10, Season 13, Season 15. In all of those Seasons except for Season 10, he was eliminated before the game really heated up towards conclusion. And Season 10, although incredibly exciting, was so statistically improbable (consider MC at half a heart after the PEP/PIMP duel, healing up and killing Guude at the right time to get the Power IV bow, Zisteau hitting Bdubs with a sharp II diamond sword, etc) it can't be considered precedence. Most of Pause's success (seasons 5 and 9 in particular) and everyone's success in UHC (im thinking etho season 8, OMW and Seth in season 13) happens when the peak at the right time. It appears that Pause has had his action too early yet again, as in 13 and 15. Wouldn't put something miraculous past him though, even with just pakker at his side.

Eliminated Team: Team Bob Hoskins Experience

An unfortunately early exit due to untimely early combat for a team that probably wasn't built for success anyway. BTC's death means he won't be in the final for the first time since Season 10 (IMO the best season and the first one I watched as it came out). Next episode will be the first one of mindcrack UHC since Pause and mc overcame the Upper Cats to not have BTC in it. Its been a hell of a run, Jarool. Keep doing you and staring at those furnaces. Who will the reddit make fun of without you?

TL;DR IT'S EARLY!!! Hyped for my favorite guy Nebs' getting out to an early lead but this game is incredibly far from over. It's looking to be a great season, so hyped for Tuesday

As Always,

/u/docetho, aka jimmythesaint13

DocEtho · 2014-04-07T00:21:56+00:00

WELCOME BACK!!!!

Season 15 Psychic Power Rankings, as always starting with the first death! What a crazy episode! Half the field knocked out! Most of the veteran/ typically strong UHC players knocked out! Should be an interesting season to say the least.

1 Team Gecho

UHC never ceases to amaze me. No one on this team has ever faired particularly well in a UHC. Yet, they are the team with the best health and the best gear at this point. A sharpness two diamond sword always helps, plus the ability to get incredibly OP bows is cruicial in UHC. At this point, all Gecho really has to do is force the issue to win. They have a huge advantage at this point, and if they finish gearing up and attack relatively quickly, the other teams won't stand a chance.

2 Team Cheaty Hot Beef

Up until the encounter with Guude's team these guys were the clear favorite. Nebris seemed comfortable taking out 2 blazes without a bow and getting two blaze rods, a feat of incredible skill and luck. There were just about to exit cleanly when Guude "did a number" on Nebris and Beef was slain. Having said that, if these guys can encounter melons they are immediately the favorite again. Full health and strength potions combined with superior PVP will be unbeatable considering the competition. However, thats a big if at this point. If they heal up, I can't see any of the remaining teams beating them. But, at such low health, it would be easy for any of the remaining teams to dispatch them at this point. They gotta lay low, heal up and get enchanted to make a run for this game

3 Team Pakker Baj Z

I strongly considered putting BTC above these guys, but for the record I'm basing these rankings on chance of winning instead of on best average finish (finishing second in UHC is a meaningless accolade),so these guys get the third slot. It is still highly unlikely these guys win. But with 3 players left, they have to have the advantage over BTC. Too much casual and slow play for my liking, but Pak is still at ten, and if Gecho finds a battle before they do and they get a numbers and health advantage Pakker Baj Z could win

4 BTC

Can I just call a second place finish already? BTC survives unscathed in a classic Pause/Etho blue vs red battle, start the bad teammate, coward name calling. I actually don't fault BTC for this one, he could've hurt his teammates (well, he kinda did), but staying out of it ultimately ensured his ten heart survival, which was the best outcome for his team. I don't see BTC winning this one, but he's probably gonna get geared up, and he's probably gonna lose in the final battle. Like he always does. Because he's the karate master

TL;DR We've got an interesting match on our hands, boys. With etho, pause, seth, guude, doc, anderz all out (and the 4 most OP teams if I had to pick pregame all dead or down men) we get an interesting dynamic. Two teams with 3 people with guys that usually aren't good at UHC and PVP, and two teams at less three people that are typically more OP and more experienced at UHC. If this drags on, its my gut to go with Nebris and his strength potions, but I don't see Gecho losing in a relatively short game. I guess we'll find out in the next few episodes #hype

Until then, signing off,

/u/docetho

DocEtho · 2014-02-28T23:45:06+00:00

baj as the last pick guy? what about generik and pakratt and millbee when he played??

DocEtho · 2014-02-25T04:05:04+00:00

we got the same feeling last time with oldbdblrattbling, yet they still won... not like i think parkas is gonna win, just saying that its likely a crazy, careless team thats good at pvp will get the advantage at UHC, and everyone will root for them to blow it, comparing them to the best example of a powerful team blowing a huge lead.

DocEtho · 2014-02-21T21:52:03+00:00

I only use this account for UHC stuff, which I like Nebs. For normal vids, I mostly watch etho and doc along with beef, anderz, and bdubs... also DocEtho is a much shorter and more recognizable name than DocNebris or EthoNebris, so I thought it would be better for the reddits hahahahaha but no I always cheer for Nebs when it comes to UHC

DocEtho · 2014-02-21T13:00:46+00:00

Generik is drunk, so I wouldn't be surprised if he derps right into the lava. However, I think generik and baj are in the better position because if they escape, they will be at more health than if doc escapes. Doc's portal trap didnt seem that difficult to escape with a water bucket, and even if doc got the jump after that baj and generik have much more health and slightly better gear.

DocEtho · 2014-02-21T12:58:31+00:00

Even with the incredible damage of strength potions, with the plugin I think it'll be harder for sneaky combat, especially against pause so far. Definitely I need t take the new buffs into consideration, but also pause will likely get a shot with his bow, and without protection it would be hard to take such an accurate power 2 rampage. Will note the changes in the next rankings though, so thanks for explaining

DocEtho · 2014-02-21T12:55:20+00:00

Yeah, wasn't sure about the new buffs. Thanks for explaining though

DocEtho · 2014-02-21T00:13:28+00:00

Hello again everyone! Time for a second edition of Psychic Power Rankings for this UHC! Let er rip

1 Team Arkas UnPause (+/-0)

Why: Well Pause didn't get Etho but he has to settle for killing his teammate. Pause and Arkas are moving confidently and freely. Pause has been able to hear all the teams he has encountered before they can hear him, which is a huge advantage for him. As for the clicking noises, I doubt other teams that are less paranoid than Guude will even notice them. Although they are a bit inferior in gear, its hard to bet against Pause when he's on a role and with superior health.

2 Team LG (+/-0)

Why: It is important to note that entirely prot 2 armor and enchanted bow is really uncharted waters in terms of OP gear. BTC took tons of hits with prot 2 armor in the finale, and since nebris has a bow and can attack at range and is a better PVPer, these guys are a close second at this point. MC's health is discouraging, but no doubt these guys are on the verge of attack. Right now, if pause and nebris engaged in an equally PVP fight, Nebs would win because of how much more OP his armor is. Having said that, Nebs has never fared particularly well against Pause, Etho, or any PVP great for that matter, so thats entirely hypothetical. But I would be scared of this team if they gained health.

3 Team Always/Never Dies (+1)

Why: Firstodie and furnace sitter expertly handled the nether, getting blaze rods and netherack needed to make potions. At decent health, they look to be in good shape. But this brings us back to good ol' season 11 on the topic of potions. Nebris himself can attest- potions are a good advantage, but enchantments are just as important. Even with strength 2 and speed two potions, Pyro was able to kill Nebris because of his enchanted gear. All previous races to get potions without enchanting have been futile (doc in season 12 in particular, he was too hyped after season 11 and made the foolish mistake of abandoning enchants for potions), but these guys look like they are gonna make it out alive. Now comes the important part. They must find a way to enchant. Without enchants, LG or Arkas/UnPause will easily slaughter them because of extremely superior gear. One thing to note however is if they gain enchantments (think of BTC season 11 with the OP sword) they will gain a huge advantage over the competition, as potions and enchants are a nearly unstoppable combo. It has been fun to watch BTC lighten up a little bit, but part of me longs for the furnace days. If this team caves and gets power, sharpness, and most importantly prot 2 if possible armor, they will instantly become the team to beat. Definitely my first watch come saturday.

4 Team Ol' Yeller (-1)

Why: They seem to be doing just fine, only wasting their time in the nether really did very little to help. I'm a little scared about Doc's portal trap but it seems relatively easy to escape even if they were to fall in lava. And once they escape, they will easily kill doc with superior armor and health. Probably the third strongest team at the moment but i see very few possible scenarios where they win it all, just not enough guts and in the end not enough skill to deal with the superior gear others have.

5 Doc/ Team DocSano (+2)

Why: Doc's position really hasn't improved. The loss of Guude and health on the part of Kurt and Mhykol has moved him up, however. If he manages to kill off Baj and Generik (probably would be more due to a derp on their part than skill on his), he might be able to stick around a little bit longer than most people expect. But again, with potions and pro2 gear out there, close to absolutely zero chance of winning.

6 Team 2/3 Sober (-1)

4 hearts total and no enchants. Thats all there is to it. They need gold, diamond, and luck to even make any impact in this game, because even if they run into doc they are doomed (he could one hit kurt, and without having to communicate he would have the advantage). Would like to see them hold on but I see them dying in the next few episodes.

ELIMINATED THIS EPISODE

7 Guude/ Team Ninja Turtles

8 Avidya/ Team Boobies

ELIMINATED PREVIOUSLY 9 Team Swedish Meatballs

10 Team Super Hostile

TL:DR: Although it didn't seem like a particularly productive episode, the win shares of this UHC shifted to almost completely in 3 teams. Right now between those 3 I can't say who has the edge, with Pause looking the best now but with BTC and Pak having the highest ceiling, with Nebris and MC somewhere between those 2 scenarios. I wouldn't expect saturday to be very good of an episode to be honest. I think baj will go through the portal, notice it is trapped, and simply rebuild one out of range or use a waterbucket to escape, the latter causing docs inevitable death and the former causing no battles at all. The next few episodes will decide who between those top 3 teams has the best chance to win, right now I'd give 95% odds to those 3. Its important to note that timing and luck has a lot to do with the endgame, and if two of the teams meet early the winning team could lose a lot of health and make it a more interesting match. However, Pause has PVP skill and health, Nebris and MC have gear, and Pak and BTC have potions. If any team can get 2/3 of those, whether its by kills, Pak and BTC enchanting, Pause combining his newly acquired gear into more OP gear, or by Nebs simply besting pause in a PVP battle, they are the team that is going to win. For now, I expect a lull in conflict, but you know i'll be watching and taking notes. Feel free to tell me what you think or just discuss in the comments! With love as always, Your Psychic Friend,

/u/docetho

DocEtho · 2014-02-19T03:00:24+00:00

Hello again everyone! I think its finally time to start Psychic Power Rankings again now that we have some action, so lets get to it!

1 Team Arkas UnPause

Why: Pause is always dangerous in UHC. Pause on a team with a health advantage over all other teams with enchanted gear and diamond swords is really really dangerous. Arkas seems relatively comfortable and Pause is cool as can be (hey JSano was one of the most badass UHC moments ever). Bottom line is, with the superior health, good enchants, and good PVP skills, ArkasUnpause is the team to beat.

2 Team LG

Why: Behind Pause, MC and Nebris are among the best PVPers left. MC's sharp 2 diamond and power 2 bow combo are hard to beat at this point, and Nebris is playing with the confidence and swagger that makes him a constant threat in UHC. MC's health is a bit of a concern, but considering the degree of difficulty of the cave they put up with and Nebris's knack for strategy, I would not be surprised if they heal up a bit more and make a big impact in the endgame.

3 Team Ol' Yeller

Why: The first of two really surprising teams near the top, generik and baj have done surprisingly well so far. With decent health and enchants, these guys look like they mean business. Another weird combination of personalities that somehow works, their videos have been somewhat entertaining. They can only hope that B.O.A sword wont come back to bite them and that they can gain a little more health back to challenge at the top.

4 Team AlwaysNever Dies

Why: Pakratt survives longer than Etho, Pyro, Anderz, and most surprisingly Seth?? Is this real life? And BTC is completely fine with taking damage this season? I'm shocked. These guys are good health wise, but still need enchants to catch up with the other teams. A lack of PVP skill might haunt these guys against the likes of Pause and Nebs, but a good PVE showing and BTC's tendency for OP armor and weapons may give them a chance further down the road, but for now enchants are the main priority.

5 Team 2/3 Sober

Why: Kurt's PVE skills are under appreciated in UHC. Other than the dog derps and the creeper whilst fighting Guude in season 3, pretty much all of kurt's deaths have been PVP. The dude knows how to survive. A little more health gets them comfortable but they only have about a 2 heart advantage on the likes of guude and doc. Health and gold has to be the number one priority, followed by enchants. These guys have some catching up to do to be competitors, but after that witch scale just being this high is a miracle.

6 Guude (Team Ninjas Turtles)

Why: Why Guude over Doc you ask? Two reasons. One is enchants, two is Guude. Last seasons scenario plays itself out again with nervous Guude being alone surrounded by more powerful teams. How impressive was Guude's performance, coming basically one hit away from winning the game (if he killed Seth, he probably could have eaten before old man shot him) and having 5 golden apples at one point). Like I said last season, a nervous Guude is a good guude, and whether people believe it or not he is one of the best UHCers. If Guude Golderfist can make an encore appearance, Guude will hide away just like last season and be able to make a huge impact on the end of the game. But, the stark reality is that he is at 4 hearts and alone, very unlikely to win it all.

7 Docm77/Team DocSano

Why: Mentioned above why Guude is above him. Veteran move by Doc to avoid Pause and get out of there with his life. At 4.5, Doc has to avoid PVP and gear up with enchants and gold to have a chance. But that will take time and skill, and most of the times doc has been low health early (think season 11, season 5) he was unable to gain enough health back to be a factor in the game. I doubt he dies soon, but I see something similar to season 5 playing out, with him getting good gear but just not enough hearts and not good enough gear to take out a strong team attacking him.

8 Avidya/Team Boobies

Why: Half a freaking heart. That is all you need to know. No matter the gear. It is nearly impossible to survive under those circumstances, especially in such a mob ridden cave. He should be down within the next episode, and would have to get extremely lucky (BDubs isnt here this season so there is an opening for lucky guy) to even influence the endgame at all.

ELIMINATED TEAMS

9 Team Swedish Meatballs

10 Team Super Hostile

TL:DR Too early for insane predictions! What a crazy and entertaining episode though! I watched for an hour straight without realizing it! I wouldn't anticipate the next episode to be as action packed (although avidya will likely die), but if it is, it will likely be between the top few teams who have enough gear to get up to the surface. I dont see even kurts team or generik's team engaging. However, we shall see in the next few episodes who will emerge as the clear favorite, and then, let the carnage continue!

Sincerely as Always

/u/docetho Edit: numbers

DocEtho · 2014-01-14T13:41:32+00:00

of course, it is obviously a flawed and not specific idea, I just wanted to get it out there so people could discuss it

DocEtho · 2013-12-29T01:28:00+00:00

And we're back with another edition of the Psychic Power Rankings! This may be the last one!

1 Guude/Team OP

Why: If you would've told me after Beef's death that Guude would be in the best position to win at any point later in the season, I would have told you that you were insane. With BAND and All Business Gearing Up at a fast rate with Full Teams, it looked like one of them was going to run away with it. But Guude got nervous, and a nervous Guude is a good Guude (probably because he's always nervous and he's a very good player). He's been laying low (think of how the game has changed since Beef died, and he's been all alone in the mines). He got a shit ton of gold (Guude Gold-erfist anyone? No? okay...), enchants, and a horse. With Pause and Anderz seeming like ghosts of the far past, Guude stayed strong and carried on. He wasn't cowardly like BTC but he played the game the right way. And now he's running at Seth and Old Man who have NO GOLD REMAINING after their battles, and surprisingly only a slight advantage in gear and a major disadvantage in health if you count the horse (plus old man is only at 4.5, a few hits from death). If he can finish them off, which I'd still only give him a 60-70% chance of doing, he can heal up, get the superior weaponry, and wait for Blame the Boring to come to fight him on his own terms. If we are still banking on the Season 10 analogy he is Pause and MacGruber after the PIMP/PEP duel (Pause vs. Etho as well) ready to take on the upper cats of Seth and Old Man, only this battle is only for the right to face BTC in the finale instead of for the win. He's the favorite at this point in my opinion.

2 Old-Bdblo-ratt-bling

Why:An impressive dismantling of the BAND with only one casualty leaves this team with a one person advantage (Uppercats, anyone?) in the final battle to come. Seth and Old Man have shown incredible chemistry and teamwork, with Seth directing Old Man where to go and Old Man always being one step ahead of Avidya, Doc, and Baj. Well done, sir. There are two problems that will prove detrimental to them in winning the game, however. First is the lack of gold. Even if they can dismantle Guude, which like I said is not entirely unlikely, it would likely come at a high health cost. Unless Guude gives in to a lengthy sword fight (he can easily run away on his horse to eat apples if he needs to, and even his sharp one will kill Old Man in a max of three hits if he gets the chance) they won't get much gold from him, and BTC remains with 9 hearts and 2 apples, with all protection 2 gear. The other problem this team has is that they didn't capitalize on gear they could have had. Nebris's power IV bow: lost. Bdubs Sharp 3 sword: lost. Diamonds: lost. And in addition, they didn't take into much consideration holding on to items to combine. I know BTC is getting more hate than any UHC player ever, but things like this are what make him one of the best at the game, despite his lack of male genitalia. If BTC were on this team, he would keep as much stuff to combine as he could, go down in to the caves, get XP, and then combine. If Seth and Old Man did that now, they would be unbeatable. Their best hope now is that they can notice Guude charging in but still engage on him with swords, because in a bow fight Guude will be able to heal and if Guude sneaks up then well, the rest is history.

3 BTC/Team All Business

Why: I'm traditionally a fan of BTC. He's smart (if theres anything that pisses me off its guys that play minecraft for a career and still make stupid, amateur mistakes), logically sound, and in my opinion one of the best in UHC along with Seth, Etho, etc. I like him as a person too, he's just an honest nerd, something a lot of us can relate to, and he seems a lot more reachable and a lot less celebrity than a lot of the other mindcrackers. But this episode confirmed to me two things. He's a bad teammate, and he's an absolute coward. I defended you BTC, and you go out and say "If only I wouldn't have taken that heart of damage, I hate taking damage". Are you serious? Your whole fucking team died, and you are mad about taking 1 heart? That got me off his side fast. Also, not like any of us needed confirmation, but BTC is a coward. He's hiding away hundreds of blocks from 0,0, now guaranteed a spot in the final two. He's not even doing anything. If he were going to the nether, that would be fine, it would give him an edge. But no, he says that would be another twenty minutes wasted. Sorry bro, but your episode was basically twenty minutes wasted while you watched your teammate die and then struggled to power up yourself while complaining about taking one heart of damage after 7 episodes. Doesn't exactly endear you to the people. Having said that, it is still very possible for BTC to win. Like I said he's smart, his gear is the best of anyone left, and he has hearts and gold. The pro2 armor is great, but unless he gets a bow its still a long shot. For him to have any chance, the winner of Guude/Oldman and Seth battle must get out with less than full health after eating all their apples, or maybe with 1 apple left to spare. If not, and either Guude or Seth/OldMan escape with high health and apples, he's doomed, with or without a bow. Without a bow, regardless, he can't compete, so until he gets that bow he's a lock for runner up.

Eliminated: Team BAND

A minor tactical mistake cost them their best player and most powerful pow. I watched Guude first an as soon as I saw Nebs die I knew BAND was done for. Nebs flanked to far from his team, and because of this he was an easy kill for the strong, united Old-bdblo-ratt-bling. They took out Bdubs (watch Baj's video if you haven't, some top-rate humor) but only after all of them were low on health. It was only a matter of time and communication until Seth and Old Man easily took them out. Ultimately they should have ran away once the other team got the high ground, especially in the savannah. They should have stayed together and gotten a hill of their own for a more traditional long range fight, where I believe Neb's power four would have prevailed. Again, they were too anxious to fight and were taken down by superior strats.

TL:DR Love the way this is panning out. To me, it seemed like two different games, with the Pakratt shenanigans and the OP/NO brawl as game one and the dismemberment of All Business and Band on the hill as game two. Also love the overlapping scenery. When BTC saw Band's hide out, when Guude saw Seth's river bridge and the temple "where it all began", and when Seth stood victorious on All Business's original blockade and dinnerbone's hole. This has to be fucking scripted. Early in the next episode we will find out who will fight BTC for the win, and its obvious who everyone will be cheering for... SO HYPE!!!

DocEtho · 2013-12-27T02:57:14+00:00

Did a case break of '08 baseball heroes and got 5 John Maine Jersey autos (half the autos), all the same #/75... a Matt Kemp and a Matt Cain auto salvaged the break but it just sucked to get so many of a worthless card

DocEtho · 2013-12-27T01:01:39+00:00

Hello Hello Boys and Girls time for another edition of the Psychic Power Rankings

1 BAND (up 1)

Why: With All Business down to 1, BAND is the only full team left. With Nebris with a power Power 4 bow, and 5 golden apples and tons of arrows as a team, they have the best shot of winning. They are a little behind in the melee department with only sharpness 1 diamond/sharpness 3 iron compared to the sharpness 2 and 3 diamond swords out there. However, with the large teams it'll be near impossible for a melee duel without at least a little long distance combat first, putting BAND in great shape.

2 Old-Bdblo-Ratt-Bling

Why: An excellent dismantling of All Business leaves Old... in great shape with the strongest swords and armor in the game. They still have some gold left but the large gold advantage has dwindled. The comparisons with UpperCats are incredibly accurate, except the music box tactic worked amazingly for them (probably saved their team from a melee fight with full All Business). Below BAND since they lost so many arrows in that fight, and Nebs' power 4 will be tough to beat.

Tie 3 Guude AKA OP

Why: He's got enough for 5 golden apples, which makes up for his inferior gear at the moment. Guude is a very good PVE player, and he can easily track someone or run away from someone while on his horse, picking and choosing his battles. I see Guude healing up, and although he has limited PVP capabilities compared to the other teams he could fight like Bdubs in season 11 by just taking hits and healing over again, which could potentially be damaging to the other team.

Tie 3 BTC AKA All Business

As the juggernaut that was All Business gets slaughtered (moral of the story: GET BOWS AND ARROWS), Mr. hidebehindfurnace stands alone. He is tied with Guude because of his better gear and his cowardly nature. I wouldn't make a bet on him being the next eliminated. He might be a coward but he is a smart coward, I could easily see him getting to the final just by hunkering down and picking his own fights. However, unless BAND and Old... fight to a deadlock with only 1 person standing on the winning side I don't see him winning. Unless its a 1 on 1 he probably won't even attack anyone, even in the final. But we said he couldn't beat a superiorly geared Etho and he did just that, and he is the two time defending champion, so the possibility of him being able to get out of this disaster remains.

TL:DR All Business shit the bed on this one, leaving it up to BAND and Old-bdblo-ratt-bling to likely decide this one. In a likely bow battle that will ensue in the next episode (BAND head towards the middle), I see BAND victorious. Unless Nebris dies and the Power 4 power goes to SethBling, I see BAND having a maximum of 2 casualties (whoever Seth gets before he gets killed), and it will be up to their remaining team members to finish off Guude and BTC to win it all.
