According to Hesiod, as part of the punishment for Prometheus giving the gift of fire to humanity, an angry Zeus ordered Hephaestus to mold from earth Pandora, as a way to have her descendents torment humanity. Pandora is best known for Pandora’s box (likely more of a funerary jar) that released all of the evils of humanity when it opened, with only Hope left inside when she closed it.

ToC projection update:
With a projected 73 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 2.645 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.2608).
An average of 4.1034 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.528).
An early cutoff took place 24.134% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Tim Kutz qualified 31.599% of the time.
Todd Giese qualified 7.455% of the time.
Rob Liguori qualified 1.135% of the time.
(Note: Due to the possibility of the since-averted WGA strike, I feel it most accurate to place the cutoff date four weeks into Season 34.)
