The 100 to 1 Royal Rumble!

Inspired by Crow (who was inspired by tipplej), I have decided to play out battles and present the results as a game for you to play! (This is something I've done before, and you can see for yourself here).

I am taking the first one hundred 100pt figures produced by WK -- starting with the original Sentinel up to the Convention Exclusive Dr. Fate (or CW Baron Zemo and Jinku depending on how you interpret the release timing) -- and I will conduct a series of battles that will lead to 20 pieces in the Final Battle Royale.

When figures act, they do so based on some criteria I picked up from Crow:
1. Avoid imminent KO/extreme harm
2. Fight greatest threat directly
3. Get KOs

Each battle the final 2 figures will get to move on to the Finals. Also, each battle, players can vote for one eliminated figure to continue on to the Finals. Lastly, the top 5 figures eliminated that still racked up the most KOs will advance. There are 5 Battles of 20 figures each, which should lead to a Final with the 10 survivors, 5 popular vote getters, and 5 top KO getters.

Each battle the players (that's you!) can choose your personal favorites to survive the battle. As they all share the same point cost, they will all be worth 100 game points. If they survive you get those points. Each battle, will also involve some opportunity for bonus points, so even if your heroes fall, there's still hope.

Later each week with the help of Jerry_Damage we will have an update to the Standings posted and then reveal the next line-up and layout of the battle to follow.

Did I mention prizes? I've done that before, too... so it could happen again!

Turn Order remains my secret though!

And here are their starting positions (as best as I can map them):
B= Blocking Terrain
h= Hindering

Now, you pick two figures to survive. Your picks are worth 100pts each, and here's a chance for more...

Each week will have a Wager offer where you can risk up to 200pts on a specific situation I choose. Your points cannot go negative, but by placing a wager and missing, you could wipe out the points you'd gain from choosing the suriviors correctly. Yes, you can wager points you don't even have to try and get into the game in a big way!

The Week 1 Wager:
This Rumble is going to involve several Colossal figures and the first is the Frost Warrior. This week you can wager up to 200pts on this question --

Who KO's the Frost Warrior?

Place a wager of up to 200pts on who you think will score the KO... OR place a wager of up to 200pts that the Frost Warrior will not be KO'd!



And here's a picture of the map before things get going:


Please post your picks and your wager in this thread before the write-up is posted next Tuesday. And please do so in an easy to read format like this:
