Firstly, I ought to delete this comment for insulting Erza's badassery. She is the only one of the three you just mentioned with enough badassery to win solely because of her badassery. >_<

I want Erza to win because frankly, Minerva needs to get her ass handed to her. If Minerva doesn't lose here, when, exactly would she ever get her payback for Lucy? And if Erza didn't pay it back it'd probably be Lucy or Natsu who payed it back and that would be the most plot armor filled bull shit that I've ever had to see. Besides, as I said earlier, Erza's badassery alone is enough for her to win.

Gray should lose because it just makes sense for him to lose. Rufus just seems to strong and smart to be beaten by Gray. And if Gray does win it'll be due to nothing more than Plot Armor.

I'm half and half on Laxus to be honest. I want him to win because...it's Laxus. But then again, I'd be shocked if he did lose. But, shock factor is not a reason for a character to lose. I want it to either be a tie or I want Laxus to win.
