The sweet 16 was bitter for some. It looks like we aren’t going to see any Cinderella stories in this year’s bracket battle. The last of the little guys literally had to face off with a Dragon, and all I can say is don’t play with fire if you don’t want to get burned #amirite.
It’s going to be an uphill battle for our elite 8, no easy matchups here!
Let’s take a look at who came out on top in round 2:
Nail-biters:
- Despite the all the cheering coming from the comment section, this was not an easy win for the Thunderbird. tinmann0715 thinks Thunderbird has what it takes to.go.all.the.way! “My prediction is ringing true for the underdog Thunderbird. It is becoming my "Dark Horse" favorite for the rest of the tourney.”
- Nessie is still in it after a tough match with Chupacabra. It looks like it came down to a battle of “Which one is scarier” rschroeder “Nessie vs. Chupacabra. What's scarier--a fish-eating dinosaur or a man/lizard that interacts harmlessly with goats? OK, a man/lizard probably will generate more nightmares. Which would defeat the other in battle? I'm pretty certain Nessie could out-chomp and crush Chupie. Loch Ness for the win.”
- This one was almost too close to call! Judging by your comments no one was certain who to root for since these two were so evenly matched.
- Again another half & halfs match that could have gone either way. asheppard970 said it better than I could, “I think this is coming down to a "brains vs. brawn" battle, and brawn appears to be winning.”
- The #GRLPWR was strong with this one. Medusa and her stony stare advance to the next round!
Shutouts:
- Based on the results of this match, the Vampire needs to hire a new PR agent that doesn’t suck.
cdow2011 “The kraken and Perseus...still a better love story than Twilight.” - A true David and Goliath match, but our pint-sized friend from the Emerald Isle was no match for brute strength and power of the Dragon. caleyjay7 “Dragon: Teeth, Claws, tail-whip, potentially fire breathing... Leprechaun: general tomfoolery and lucky charms...I know who my money's on.”
- There was some serious debate about how outside influence from pop-culture affected the results of this match. Phoenix manages to run fly away with this one in the face of conflict.
