I sincerely think it's going to be Sovarasma V Cheiron and one of the pop Hushky/Fljotavik!!!

I don't think the humble land of Cheiron has ever been namechecked as a winning contender so much!! Hopefully this can translate into my first medal EEEK!

And look at you girl, predicting Top 4 in no particular order!!!

Only Cheiron correctly predicted us in the top 10 so I’m glad they won in the end.

Called the winner! Will be interesting to see which of us who did the full 41 prediction was closest to the real result.

I hate to say it but it seems like chatgpt is the winner here 😛

Hushkanukia vs Fljotavik vs Cheiron

Pop lovers we are SO BACK

Pop lovers we are INDEED back

The lower number the better - calculation being that you get points for the difference between your prediction position and the actual position (e.g, you get 0 if you predicted Cheiron to win, 40 if you predicted Summericia to win).

Included Seven's odds (but not Rich's or ChatGPT's) as he essentially ranked all 41 countries and the results are as so...

1st: 308 Seven

2nd: 350 Blacksquare

3rd: 353 Scene

4th: 365 Klumzee

5th: 370 Leww

6th: 397 RobBot

7th: 421 Iz

8th: 567 Nine and 3/4

PSYCHIC SEVEN - it could only ever be.

Winner predicted correctly: Leww, Klumzee

Most exactly correct positions: Leww (6 - Cheiron, Hushkanukia, Sovarasma, Cor Lupus, Thelonia, Summericia)

Most top 5 predicted correctly: RobBot, Iz, Klumzee, Blacksquare, Seven (4/5)

Most top 10 predicted correctly: 7 (Scene, Seven)

Pretty much everyone correctly predicted the top 6 would appear in the top 10 - it was Scene and Seven going for Eledan/Mothertopia which tipped them over on that one.

I never claimed to be good at this 😅

All of my top 6 prediction came top 7, so (considering I went first) I think I was good at sensing out the winner contenders, but not so much anything else. Way overpredicted Aeroche and Deandria, and way underpredicted The Spodic Empire and Seyetana.

Thank you for compiling that Rob! It was quite a fun side game to play.

Hushkanukia runner-up, Sovarasma top 5, FLJ, Bøt and Eledan top 10, top 20 finishes for Yehesi, Seyetana and Danaeviia. Also got Jupiterdonia and Nelionoir bang on!

Totally underestimated Mothertopia though (predicted 29th, finished 6th!), Pestolia (p. 34th, f. 11th), POPHub (p. 38th, f. 16th) and to a lesser extent the Spodic entry (p. 21st, f. 10th). Also really overestimated Scotland 2’s entry - I really thought it would have top 5 on lock.
