#my ode to qsmp liveblogging

[probatiostudies]

Hello everyone! Just wanted to send a bunch of love to qsmpblr, especially any folks who've been flooding my notifications with reblogs, likes, and replies! It's been awhile since I've been so actively engaged in fandom content, and QSMP Purgatory hooked my previously dormant competitive side! It's been a joy to liveblog, so when I realized that this was the best time for me to step back, I decided I should let the peoples know!

So, here's some housekeeping (predictions) from this blog before I go!

I will not be watching the rest of QSMP Purgatory live, but I will be watching VODs sometime late next week! May the best team win!

I do think Soulfire has the best chances of winning, since we're not certain how many of the following days will be counted as wins, which makes me doubt if a tie could even be secured if the players wanted it. If the ultimate results are decided by the event, I do still believe Soulfire is better prepared to take on whatever it is, since for the previous event they weren't in the position to try like they could've. They've got the numbers now too! For the last event, Bolas did say part of their win was contributed to having support from Bad, Tina, and Niki. While the new lineup for Bolas is great, I do think something essential will be missed with the absence of Jaiden for the week, likely Carre as well, Foolish today, and the sort of fatigue Philza and Charlie have been exhibiting (my streamers weren't built for this, but they're trying!).

For the cursed team, I originally thought last week that it was Soulfire! I forgot my reasons for why unfortunately, so I'm going for it and switching my prediction to Bolas. My reasoning is all the specialized train tickets belonging to red team members, and how ElQuackity wouldn't count since it was meant to be Quackity's. I also don't think ElQuackity being on a team makes it cursed, since Green Gay Ninjas were confirmed to not be. However, I feel like there's a lot of ways you can interpret the messages of the eggs, especially the biomes they're filmed in, and the players who were being analyzed in the videos shown during Purgatory Day 1! On that note, I do lean more towards Cellbit's theory, which I believe is that there is no officially cursed team, that it doesn't matter who wins. Either all or some eggs will be saved, if the Purgatory Eye actually does have a say over their wellbeing, but not all of them will die. Excited to find out how that goes!

If it does end up being a scenario where a winning team has to choose which eggs to save, my pinned post analyzes who they're likely to save and why, based on who's an egg parent and who's said they'd vouch! I think there's been some misinterpretation, in that the names listed are who a team is going to save, so I've tiered the list by numbers! If it's a some eggs scenario, each team collectively would want to vouch for all eggs, save for red team regarding ramon, which I doubt is how many they'll be permitted to save! Mayhaps a revolution will be staged if this is the case? Can't wait to find out!

I believe that's all I had to share! Going to look back at this post and see if any of these predictions were right, or if they're completely off! If you enjoyed my liveblogging, thank you! Not sure if I'll be able to return to it, but nonetheless, I hope everyone has a great time watching the rest of QSMP Purgatory! Goodbye for now!
