It was Juggernaut, Power Gem and Space Gem.
Which sounds like a total steam roll....
Unless the opposition has any sort of intangibility.
Not to mention the burden of proving a moron like Marko could use the gems anywhere NEARLY as effective as any of their previous wielders.
From a strictly mathematical standpoint, all the winners' odds go up dramatically (and vice-versa for the losers) but the exact odds would be tough to calculate accurately because we're not in a traditional bracket format and everyone's still alive.
Evangel said that 3 people would move on from the round robin phase though, and that another semifinalist would come from a free-for-all match (always a good time). I might be wrong, but I think it's possible for more than 3 people to end up with 2+ wins after their RR matches, so I hope everything works itself out.
12 -> 6 -> 3 (+1 from last chance round)
After the first two or three rounds we'll definitely be down to 6. Then we'll do two more rounds with "best of five" including your record from previous roudns to reduce it to 3. Four regular rounds, five at the very max if people have an equal win loss ratio. But it'll be settled eventually.
Then the last chance round.
Then the semi-finals.
Then a winner will be crowned.

This is for everyone with prep,
I've noticed some people don't get how buying prep affects your write-up, so I'll let you know.
With prep, (especially with Dr. Doom or another prep character) you have assume at the very minimum of what the specified character can create with 36 hours of prep (or whatever prep you have) and extensive knowledge of the opponent (whatever knowledge you bought). Then taking advantage of what the character can do at his very best with 36 prep is left up to the poster and his write up.
"You can't just go, ha, your write-up sucks! Therefore your prep is null and void and you wasted it!"
It's more like, "well I don't agree with your prep in your write-up, but I know what your character is capable of with prep, so you still get my vote"
or
"Well I agree with most of your prep, but I don't think your character is capable of some of those things in prep, so I am going to give my vote for the opponent."
In short: Assume the least, but be prepared for the best.

Second Round
7. 1v7 (DL v Stark) - DL won the first round's closest match, and Stark dropped to 0-1. I'm not ready to count Stark out, but DL is the early favorite. A trip into Doom's prep goodies would do a world of good for Stark, so if he can form a good writeup he may have the debating chops to pull one out.
8. 2vs8 (Cresh v Trick) - Well, someone has to win. I'm just thrilled Trick is getting my sloppy seconds ( 😈 )
9. 3vs9 (id vs. gundam) - Two competent but desperate men will battle to remain alive in the round robin portion of the tournament. Early odds to id.
10. 4vs10 (Stacks vs. Kandy) - Battle of the tourney's best magic wielders (other than The Doctor, of course 😉 ), who both have strong amalgams. Because they are complimented with WWH and Flash respectively, this may be a classic strength vs. speed battle. Early odds to Kandy, but only slightly. Heavy odds on someone getting really upset before the end of the match, though.
11. 5vs11 (Digi v goober) - I'll refrain from comment due to my participation. Should be a good one though.
12. 6vs12 (Sym v Smurph) - Smurph will have to show up this week more so than last week to add another to his win column. Sym is out for revenge after a tough loss. Odds on Sym unless Smurph was holding a lot back.
