If you're type picking specific wizards to counter specific members of FT, then you still end up with 5 wizards you haven't accounted for.

It's possible that Raven Tails team was selected to counter Fairy Tail A, and he had no idea that Fairy Tail B was even going to be in the tournament(since Fairy Tail A didn't even know).
If Ivan's current team wasn't built for countering Laxus, he certainly didn't show it. His realisation was the very definition of WTF?!

Why did did Obra's (Ivan's trump card, pretty much) magic not work is a nice question. The only real explanation is Laxus's speed, but that should have been taken into account. I guess I must be giving Ivan too much credit, as Kraco says. He doesn't seem to be terribly smart either.

Good point. Totally forgot about that.
