Event #5 - Death. Match. Predict. [Results]

[CakeWalker]

Death. Match. Predict. Results Part One

A mistake on part is going to see the predictions of Event #5 put out in a slightly different way. The predictions made for both GCW events will relate solely for Event #5, and be the only results that influence the matches booked for this event. However, at a later ate when the results of Paranoia emerge they will be included in a special updated standings for the American Indie Division. A total four matches from the GCW cards were also cut or changed on the card and will not be included in the W/L columns. I will begin by first updating the overall standings for the American Indie Division. A total of thirteen people predicted for this event, so all will be eligible to win the GPE Championship as well as this event being included in their KOTM eligibly if it is needed.

Nothing is certain. And no one is safe. And even with only eight matches being officially predicted for during Event #5, and the shenanigans of the NGI still playing havoc with people wins and losses, Jeff differential improves by one and repeats history by claiming the title in similar means to the last title exchange. We have a new leader of the American Indies Division and their name is @El Jefro Blanco , Congratulations!

3rd American Indie Champion: Jeff​

Death. Match. Predict. Results Part Two

Everyone who predicted for this event has had one of their required KOTM eligibility ticks increased. For those that were already eligible, this would be the first opportunity for their winning percentage score to increase because the potential events to pick their best four scores from now offers more options.

I can now offer up the final standing for Event #5 - with all predictors eligible to win the 'green belt'.

T2​	Blaine​	6​	2​	4​	4/4​

T12​	Cake​	4​	4​	0​	4/4​

We have a standout winner for this event which means @Wiseman who only got one of his prediction incorrect, meaning that he claims the 'green belt' for the third time of his time competing within the WPC.

76th WPC Grand Prix Event Champion: Wiseman

As was clear with the table earlier, additional predictors have now become eligible for the WPC King of the Mountain Championship with four prediction dropping a previous event and automatically using the differential acquired from Event #5. The first holder of the belt, will be the predictor who tops these standings at the end of the month.

Death. Match. Predict. Results Part Three

Our fifth event of the 2024, would also mark the first WPC Grand Championship match between the 2023 Overall Standings winner Chris and the first challenger of 2024 Blaine.

CHRIS (c) [5] vs. [6] BLAINE

Benefitting massively from a cut matches and NWA nonsense, @TOP GUY TIME edges past Chris by a singular victory to win the contest and become the 33rd WPC Grand Champion. Food for thought, this is only the second title belt that Blaine has ever won in the WPC and is without a doubt the biggest victory in all of his time in the WPC.

The WPC Super Series officially began during this event, with all members of the Purple League having their first set of Head-2-Head league matches. The results from all three matches are shown below:

Crocker [6] vs. [6] Deadd2009
Jeff [6] vs. [7] Old Jay
Jimmy King [6] vs. [6] Lethal
​

Purple League​	Predictor​	Wins​	Losses​	Draws​	Points​
1st​	Old Jay​	1​	0​	0​	3​
T2​	Crocker​	0​	0​	1​	1​
T2​	Deadd2009​	0​	0​	1​	1​
T2​	Jimmy King​	0​	0​	1​	1​
T2​	Lethal​	0​	0​	1​	1​
6th​	Jeff​	0​	1​	0​	0​

Hell yeah!!! I'd like to thank the Academy, and a god, and my parents and all you in here for the strength you have give me to blindly choose winners, solely based on who I would book to go over.
