Down to the Sweet 16! For a quick explanation, all the Regional winners will be meeting in a Final Four matchup. We will get a chance to have the real heavyweights of the Malazan world square off in an ultimate winner takes all epic showdown.c sh


As the 5th seed, fan favorite Kalam comes in as quite an underdog. Although, let's compare. Dancer was the pre-eminent assassin and his best friend mage buddy was the emperor who both got bored of conquering their world, so decided to step it up a notch. Kalam is the most feared ex-claw, who could have been running it had he not left. his best friend mage buddy has 12 powerful souls inside him, just got a power boost, and seems to be about a step behind trying to figure out the games played by Shadowthrone. Maybe closer than first appears, but I still go with Dancer.


I believe Apsalar and Laseen would be wonderful to watch. Without any real reasoning, I go Laseen.

Dancer over Kalam, and although Apsalar and Laseen would be close, i choose Apsalar, Laseen is dead after all

Spoiler

Dancer vs Kalam: Kalam is a great assassin, perhaps, note:perhaps, he could even take Laseen, but himself says that he is no match for Dancer.

Laseen vs Apsalar: Apsalar is basically Dancer(although I still repute her his inferior) and I've lost count of how many times it was said that Laseen was second only to Dancer. Logic goes that Apsalar is the winner.
