End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | yeah, 2nd, 3rd and 4th could all be very close in points...makes it worthless for 4th when they could go through if they won the event. But Bryce is a cheese-ball. | ||

Group 4 = Licis seed 1 and Caron seed 2 Group 5 = Janashia seed 1 and Kieliszkowski seed 2 Group 1 = Thor seed 1 Loz Seed 2 Group 2 = Shaw seed 1 Group 3 = Z is seed 1...whether or not he deserves it Then the rest are just shoved in if they suit deadlift or squat. | ||

I make Loz seed 2 in group 1. Fully fit Loz is a nailed on finalist in pretty much any group. Group 2 i dont see a second seed. But i dont see a ninth or tenth athlete that screams 'i should be seeded' so i can understand how this has happened. Its also not a big surprise to see Brian and Z get the 'easy' groups due to their reputations. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Looking at the groups. They are actually pretty good picks. Shaw definitely has an easy group for him. I think maybe Shiv should be swapped for someone in Shaw's. Z whilst seeded 1st in his group does have some tough competitors with events that suit them. | ||
Mikeneto | ... | 11-04-2018 @ 18:21 | |
End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | I didn't realise Janashia finished so low last year in the final. Kind of thought he was 6th. I don't remember Loz being in the final either, I thought he was injured. I might actually re-watch it. | ||

Its also not a big surprise to see Brian and Z get the 'easy' groups due to their reputations. Terry said on Instagram that it's one seed per group. The res were drawn randomly. IMO the seeds should be picked as the top 5 returning from the previous year - Thor, Shaw, Licis, Caron and Killa. Instead Z seems to have been seeded over Caron. | ||

I definitely wouldn't bet against hixxy if he's fully fit. I also think he could make top 5 in final too judging from his display at Brits | ||

Member 5141, 4209 posts SQ 300, BP 180, DL 350830.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | Easy is in air quotes because its only easy since it doesn't have a 2nd clear finalist. It should be an easy win for Z. | ||

As said before, the organisers want him to have a relatively easy chance of making the final. However, I really hope hes in great shape enough for top 5 and this apparent 'joker' card is not wasted on him... MJG said: Z's and Shaw's groups are the easiest to qualify from IMO.
