Day 1 Pick Summary

Start 14

Machac 9
Zhang 2
Draper 1
Koepfer 1
Seyboth Wild 1

Start 14
Survivors 13
Dead 2
Unknown 0

Only 2 dead, this is a very good result for the group.

Comments:
Both Machac and Zhang are playing Wildcards, so there is an extra bit of unknown when trying to predict their outcomes.
Draper is playing Taro Daniel, who should be able to put up a fight, but Draper should still win.
I don't know enough about Koepfer to make any comments on his chances.
Seyboth Wild got in as a Lucky Loser. This is a brave pick.
