An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted January 4, 2020 I'd like to enter too please. I suspect that my research skills are insufficient to pick up the obscure Ecuadorian town councillors or Lithuanian backgammon players that are necessary to do well in this competition, but I might as well give it a go. About three quarter of the entrants so far seem convinced that they will be knocked out in the first round, so with a good draw maybe the dizzy heights of the second round are within reach. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enjoy and good luck! As the creator and former host of the Deathlist Cup, I can say don't worry too much about chances ahead of time. The draw can be kind or not kind, the luck of who dies and who doesn't more so. Also, it being direct one on one competition over one month allows for "surprise" results and we've had many over the years. One example was Roverandout beating 4 time DDP champ Spade Cooley a few years back. Willz beat Captain Chorizo to reach the Quarters after announcing he was doomed, and unfancied (no, Sir Creep, not that use of the term) Boudicca reached the final ousting several more experienced deadpoolers just last year. Basically, enjoy the buzz, I guess? It may last longer than expected... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,227 Posted January 4, 2020 Yeah, luck of the draw is just as important as your skill level. Last year, me and DDT had some of the strongest teams in the final 32 last year (15 points each iirc), yet we both ended up losing due to our opponents having even stronger teams. So yeah, I wouldn’t stress too much about finding obscure picks cause you don’t know when you’ll face an opponent of similar/stronger skill level... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look if Rochdale can hold Newcsstle to a draw (okay we all saw this coming) and Tranmere can hold Watford to a draw.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
