GosuGamers presents the DreamHon Bracketology Challenge
Posted by Sören "Fantasy44" Vendsahm 38 weeks, 2 days ago
One of the most exciting times in American sports is the time around March. Not that the Superbowl is played, the NBA, NHL and MLB finals are far away, but still one event is still in the hearts of every sports fan - the NCAA Division I Basketball tournament "March Madness". Predicting the brackets before they happen is part of the tradition and GosuGamers.net brings that tradition to the Heroes of Newerth scene - to the DreamHon Online Summer Championship playoffs.
In the NCAA, the players play for the National Championship in college basketball, the predictors mostly do it for fun and bragging rights. Those bragging rights will be awarded here as well, but on top of that we are presenting the ultimate challenge for perfection to the contributors. Every single entry will have the chance to earn up to 2,000 gold coins, courtesy of S2 Games. That price will be awarded to the "perfect bracket" meaning every single game, every single map, every single thing is an accurate prediction of the tournament. A little tricky? Yes, indeed, but it's a challenge alright.
That perfection is very hard to reach, but you can still go for the "correct bracket" and win 1,000 gold coins, sponsored by S2Games. For that award the accurate map score is not neccessary, because we only look at the winners and losers of the matches. Correct bracket therefor means that u can remove the map score from your submission and have the actual brackets afterwards.
So who was up for this challenge? We asked a couple of players, S2 Games members, tournament admins, Honcast caster and parts of the GosuGamers staff to weight in with their predictions. A total of 12 players, 5 S2 employees and 2 GosuGamers editors stepped up to the challenge - the fight against the bracket.

Final question could be: "How do I stay up-to-date with the standings of this challenge?". It is very easy, just stay tuned to the DreamHon Summer Championship coverage of GosuGamers.net. Every playoff day will have a recap and in that recap you will find the newest standings for this challenge - predicting absolutely right will grant you two points, predicting just the winner right will give you one point - see which player is on top and who is already down and probably out of the race, because of weird results.
