Duke...you're slipping man. From 3 to 12 to 16? Ouch.

Last year's Champion vs. Guy whose popularity is slipping fast. I wonder who will win?

<b>Moltar's Bracket Says:</b> Cloud will win.

<b>Moltar's Prediction is:</b> Cloud 87% - Duke 13%

<b>Ulti's Analysis</b>

Hi. My name is Duke Nukem, and I'm CloudFodder.

<b>Ulti's Bracket/Prediction - Cloud/Cloud with 81.93%

<b>Cena's Analysis</b>

Ok, I don't understand how Duke Nukem only got a 16 seed. He is one of the gaming icons to tell the truth, but it won't stop Cloud from going all out on his foul ass. This will be an ass-whipping to tell the grandkids about. I mean, Cloud did win last year, and Duke hasn't been in a good game in 5 years. There is nothing stopping Cloud here, not even the threat of feces down his throat.

<b>Cena's Vote:</b> Duke (What? I pity him)

<b>Cena's Prediction:</b> Cloud with 92% (After Snake kicking Tanner's ass hard, there's no way Cloud will be outperformed and not get over 90%)
