It's a new Regional season, and it's time for a new predictions competition. Unlike last year, we're guessing who will be the Most Improved player by rating after the Regional. Just like previous years, the winner will get an Ambassador Foil, guesses need to be made before the day of the event, and non-Regional events during Regional season will be used as a tiebreaker.

Michigan Regional: Ypsilanti, MI
Last Year's Attendance: N/A
Last Year's Winner: N/A
Preregistered This Year: Jon Carter (1723), John Paul Veasey (1606), Andrew (1419), Ross Fertel (1383)
My Prediction: Carter may be known as a 1e guy, but he's certainly no slouch in 2e. I'm also tempted by the El Veez, but with that 1383 rating, I'm thinking Ross Fertel is "nothing but upside" as Armus would put it.

Koblenz Regional: Koblenz, Germany
Last Year's Attendance: 5 Players
Last Year's Winner: Benjamin Liebich
Preregistered This Year: Svenja Welden (1650), Tjark Ott (1644), Florian Ott (1633), Johannes Mette (1612), Benjamin Liebich (1599)
My Prediction: That's just a 51 point ratings difference between the competitors here - we're basically picking the winner, and good luck with that. I'm gonna go "chalk" and pick Svenja Welden myself.

London Regional: London, United Kingdom
Last Year's Attendance: 4 Players
Last Year's Winner: William Hoskin
Preregistered This Year: William Hoskin (1690), Nicholas Yankovec (1689), Daniel Giddings (1599)
My Prediction: This is another very tight group, any one of them could walk away the winner. My guess here is that William Hoskin keeps his ratings lead and his title... this time.
Also, big thanks to Brian "Armus" Sykes for doing the math and wrapping up the previous threads. I know I'm going to appreciate it even more in a few months when I go back and figure out who won!
