Hoo Hoo! An Opponant!!! Rebuttle time!
I had said before the tournament started that everyone entering a match would know the main basics of their opponant. Nico would know about Scorpion's tale, agility, and furociousness before the match starts same as Scorpion would know about Nico's staff,.. needing to shed blood, etc. So this is fine in my arguement and will probably help yours as well as Scorpion would know to counter this.
The thing about the Staff of One is that she can only use each spell once, then it's gone. So I have to come up with new ones because she can't do old ones. And she's successfully done every spell that I can think of save Raising Alex back from the dead and now it looks like that may have worked. Her diversity in her spell casting is one of the reasons why I wanted her so much and had her high on my list. She's basically the answer to any problem She would have problems probably if it was a spert of the moment fight but the 24 hour preptime really helps her prepare and do well,.. having the spells in mind already as I did in this match.
Now some rebuttles to your story. The first thing is that Nico only takes a second to get the staff. A realistic estimation of maybe 4 to 5 seconds. Scorpion is definately fast but unless he appears right beside her that's gonna be tough getting to her before she cuts herself. And even if she has other spells planed it only takes a second to see someone coming at you to say "Shield" or "Away" or something like that to deflect the quick attack,... leading back into my previous spells planned winning me the match
And You don't have to kill your opponant to win,.. just incompasitate them. Scorpion sleeping or locked in a metal block he can't escape, or whatever, is enough to win the match. Scorpion is a fighter but Nico is very recourceful in what she can do in a match,.. and in many cases it's the resorceful thinkers who will win the match.
Winner - Nico Minoru

I have a slight issue with a few things here.
1. Do you consider that Nico has the ability and technological know how AND resources (ie SHIELD) to do research on Scorpion? She might be able to find out basic information on him from news reports but would it give her the information to gather on his personality, strategy and weaknesses? If you can honestly say yes than I will accept it.

2. These spells (Aware, multiplicity and sleep) have they ever been used by Nico? If not, then would you not be able to conjur up any spell you want towards any opponent to fit that opponents strengths and expose their weaknesses. ie. Using the spell "Slowness" on Quicksilver debilitaing his speed or using "Weak Kitten" on the Hulk and making him a little scared fragile kitten... Although she might, in "theory", pull off these spells in real life, if there is no basis to go by then this would give you the ability to conjur the right spell at the right time through the whole tounament.
