Marcus & Richenda are going to be the first the drop out of the Grail War. In all honesty it's entirely down to the Master Marcus who lacks any real skills as a mage, is brash and impulsive (which is a terrible trait to have when your combat skills are almost non-existent) and doesn't have the mana reserves to use Richenda all that effectively. Richena herself is actually one of the better servants combat-wise but she'll be spending most of her time protecting Marcus from being targeted by other servants and masters.

Dante & Theseus are the next ones out. Similar to the above what ultimately costs the pair is the fact that Dante is not really able to control Theseus due to him being a berserker and the fact he has no idea what the grail even is leaves him vulnerable to exploitation by other masters. I can see him being used as a pawn by somebody more cunning and either getting killed in battle or being betrayed by whoever is using him. The main reason I put these two higher than Marcus & Richenda is because Dante does at least have the magic to support his servant properly, albeit not for very long.

With the two weakest masters out of the way it seems fitting the next one out is the weakest servant in '''Urduja & Mercy. '''Urduja is simply too honourable for the dirty tricky world of a Grail War, hell one of her Noble Phantasm's could very easily backfire on her if she uses it on the wrong servant. There have been honourable fighters who have done well in Grail Wars of the past but they backed up their honour with powerful stats/noble phantasm's and Urduja lacks that advantage. Her honourable nature also puts her directly at odds with her Master Mercy who will have to use her command seals fairly often in order to pursue the strategy she wants to use because her methods and magecraft go completely against Urduja's own ethics.
