Ghost Raptor faces Bronco in the 2nd round, so I'm glad someone else took him.

Yeah it's true. OTOH he's KO'd 5 of the 6 matches he's been in.

With the scoring system the way it is, Tombstone doesn't have to win the tourney to rack up points. So either way I think it's a good pick. Also it's Tombstone, no need to justify picking Tombstone

Ghost Raptor proved last year to be a good team. They went really deep without their main weapon for no reason at all!

I think it'll end up being a judge's decision, and Yeti will win out thanks to aggression. I also debated Hypershock but he's facing a ridiculously tough schedule, and Complete Control's is even worse with Minotaur in the second.

Until Lucky performs as its name and flips Yeti perfectly onto its side and it can't tip itself over.

Not likely given that the sides contain wheels, plus it has that flippy bit. Would be hilarious if that happens though.
