CalculusBC 94 Report post Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) I would say the final round will probably be Georgetown KL vs Harvard MS, with Harvard winning. I've got KL for the win, but I think this is pretty close to the truth. I can also see Kansas DR, Berkeley MS, Rutgers MN, and/or Wake AS going deep.

Dndjcmds 11 Report post Posted March 23, 2017 I have Berkeley MS vs Harvard MS in the finals. Georgetown KL, Wake AS, and Berkeley GW will also run deep, and possible dark horses are Kentucky BT, Emory FL, and Kansas HW. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elmeryang00 134 Report post Posted March 23, 2017 I think Harvard MS will win. Hemanth has a tendency to raise it up a notch when the stakes are highest. I think that Berkeley is more consistent and arguably the better regular season team, but they have a tendency to crack under pressure at the NDT in outrounds (I thought they were clearly a top 4 team last year, but they lost in Octos to a less experienced Kansas team). Georgetown KL and Wake AS will be in semis. Kentucky BT, Emory KG, Kansas DR, and Berkeley GW will make deep runs. Wimsatt and Q have been in Quarters before, Viveth should've made it at least to Quarters last year but lost a close round to Georgetown, and Kentucky BT is wildly over-performing (relatively) for a 2 freshmen team.

vmanAA738 372 Report post Posted March 23, 2017 yes Q was in finals last year and got beat by Harvard HS the berkeley teams will do well- i don't think they will crack under pressure this year because they all have been through this before except for miles gray other teams that will do well: georgetown LK, kansas DR, wake AS, emory GK, emory FL, harvard MS, kentucky BT, georgia RS, georgia AR, USC BL, UMKC AT, rutgers NM, minnesota AL, oklahoma WJ, northwestern CE, michigan DM i think finals will be georgetown LK and berkeley MS- i won't pick a winner because I think that matchup is a tossup and the winner will be based on panel composition Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

earendil 48 Report post Posted March 23, 2017 I think Harvard's gonna take it again this year. No one's mentioned Wake AS yet though, I think they have a good shot of making it to the finals, along with Georgetown KL and Berkeley MS. It seems like there's kind of a gap between those four and the rest of the first-round teams if you take results and subjectively how good they've looked in streamed rounds. There's definitely teams that could surprise depending on matchups and panel comps - on the policy side Emory and Berkeley GW, and on the K side Rutgers and Kansas DR - especially given the surprise showing that Kansas made in out rounds last year - but my instinct would be that Harvard/Wake/Gtown/MS would be a favorite against the rest of the field.

Nonegfiat 645 Report post Posted March 23, 2017 Aren't they the same team? LK is the same as KL? KL= Knez and Louvis LK= Li and Kelley My guess is that Vman was referring to Knez and Louvis when he said LK 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
