Javi’s Predictions

These were written on January 11, 2024. (Three days before the filming of the Last 1 Standing. To my knowledge, at the time of writing this, only one match has been shot and I am not even aware of who has played in it.) This is a list of random predictions meant to be published after the Fandom Fights 2024 season and to make me look like a genius or a fool depending on what I get right (if anything). This is not meant to insult anyone but rather to be a look back at the season that has not been played from my perspective. 

  • Joe Farrelly will win or be Last1Standing MVP and become singles champion again at some point. 

    • While Joe did win L1S, he unfortunately never reclaimed the singles title.

  • Tyler Burch and Joe Farrelly will join the perfect game club.  

    • Unfortunately no, though Tyler was one question away (and Tim nearly broke the rules to give it to him lol)

  • Javi Madan and Kaleb Koho will get a Perfect Round (maybe with the bonus, maybe not). 

    • Javi did, Koho not so much.

  • Andrew Barr will win more than he will lose taking if you count singles and teams together.  

    • Heartbreaker, Barr went 2-1 in singles and 1-2 in teams, so he finishes at 3-3. Though he did challenge for the teams title and is nominated for comeback player of the year.

  • Manhattan Project will have at least one title appearance but will not win.  

    • Unfortunately this was not Manhattan’s year.

  • Wrong Side of the River will win the titles in the first title picture of the year, but Duel will win it back and defend it at least twice after. 

    • First totally correct prediction! Wrong Side of the River won, Duel of the Fates took them back and never lost again.

  • Tyler Burch, should he be in the tournament will, make it to the finals. 

    • Ummmm technicality? Tyler was knocked out in the semi-finals of the Summer Series Singles Tournament, BUT he won WOAT.

  • The singles tournament this year will be the return of the 32-person tournament. 

    • Nah lol, 16.

  • Young Justice, should they be in the tournament, will make it to the finals. 

    • Another close but no cigar. Knocked out by Posse Galore in the semis.

  • Dean Manness will not lose until he is at least .500. 

    • Ayyy! Dean went 3-0 in singles and currently sits at 4-3.

  • Igor Kasic and Jacoby Bancroft will play for their first Fandom title either in singles or teams. 

    • Both correct, Igor won the Summer Series Teams Tournament and Jacoby became a Teams champion!

  • Despite not putting any effort into Fandom, Payson Johnson and John Maher will win more than they will lose in both singles and teams.  

    • Payson went 2-1 in singles but 1-3 in Teams. John while being one of the top rookies unfortunately went 1-2 in singles and 1-3 in teams.

  • Ryan Payne will break the Fandom Rookie of the Year curse and win 2 for every 1 he lost at least. 

    • The curse continues…Ryan went 1-3.

  • Joe and Igor together will win Fandom Rookie Team of the Year. 

    • TBD… though it’s lookin’ likely

  • Either Mark Menchaca or Igor Kasic will win Fandom comeback player of the year. 

    • Igor is nominated for comeback player of the year, TBD on the victory.

  • Anna Bongiorno and John Maher will be nominated for Fandom Rookie of the Year, but Joseph Olivas will win. 

    • Lol Anna tried, but John and Joseph are sitting pretty.

  • Kaiser Huang will make it to the semi-finals of the singles tournament. 

    • Unfortunately Kaiser was knocked out by Thomas Scully in the quarter finals, BUT he did become the first person to upset the #1 seed in Round 1.

  • Mike Hanley will win at least 5 matches across singles and teams. 

    • Quite a high ceiling lol. Mike went 0-2 in singled, though Blockbuster had a good year at 2-1.

  • Star Wars and Star Trek will merge with Dune for the next season. 

    • Legit didn’t read this before that decision was made…Galaxy Quests coming soon.

  • Scream (and potentially Saw) will join Horror Icons. 

    • Horror Icons is perfect the way it is.

  • Spy Kids will join American Spies. 

    • Ha! Hahahahah. Ha! eh maybe next year.

  • No movies that were in the 2024 season will be leaving for 2025. 

    • Correctamundo, we love movies.

From Nick - not too bad! Even the ones Javi was wrong about, felt like he was on the right track. Interested in submitting your random predictions for 2025? Let me know!
