First time doing predicts :)
(1) Taipans vs (4) Astrotias
OU: Mana vs ZoroDark - I favor ZoroDark's playing ability higher that Mana's, but I predict Mana will get matchup with the help of ABR. Unclear.
OU: Twixtry vs Tamahome - Solid edge to Tamahome in playing ability, if he doesn't get horrendous mu he should win.
OU: ABR vs Updated Kanto - Hard not to favor ABR, but Kanto has showed good form this tour however so I expect a good game.
OU: ima vs Cdumas - ima has been great this tour, also worth noting Cdumas has lost his last 4 after starting 4-1 which isn't good.
DOU: Ezrael vs Mint16 - Ezrael has been on fire. He also drop-kicked me in DOU Seasonal so yeah.
UU: robjr vs Lycans -Neither has had the best tour of their lives, but rob with pearl support is still a force. Slight Edge.
RU: Alpha Rabbit vs HarrisIsAwesome - rabbit has struggled this tour, Harris has looked p good in his first two showings and has Evi and Feliburn behind him. Solid Edge.
NU: Sjneider vs Jrdn- Close one, both have been solid this tour, slight edge to Sjneider mostly due to team building.
PU: Teddeh vs false - false has been doing good this tour sitting at a 5-3 record, Teddeh is at a 4-4 but has gotten unlucky at times, overall I think Teddeh is a stronger player however. Moderate Edge.
LC: jake vs Shrug - Don't know much about LC but jake has performed well this tour
Overall: Taipans 6-3, can see Zoro and one or more of the lower tier games winning however.
In case of tiebreak Taipans have to be favored. ABR + Ezrael should win and it is unclear to me what the Astrotias would pick.
(2) Nagas vs (3) Leviathans
OU: ramboss vs Insult - Upset pick, I think Insult is great but I predict ramboss will have some Italian team that goes well with his aggressive playstyle and win.
OU: Tricking vs Corazan - Woatli
OU: Kebab mlml vs Tace - idk here, Tace has been solid enough I guess.
OU: Jimmy Turtwig vs Welli0u - Welli0u has been solid, but this man Jimmy won with regular gardevoir + golduck last week. I think that Jimmy has shown enough that he is capable of being a SM starter, though he has had his ups and downs.
DOU: Nails vs emforbes - emforbes has been strong since starting 0-2, expecting him to keep on rolling. Solid Edge.
UU: Adaam vs Charmflash - Adaam won UU Open + Slam and has a 6-3 record playing good mons right now so hard not to favor him, however I've seen Charmflash bring some wild things in UU, and think that he is a strong player as well. Slight Edge.
RU: Kink vs roman - King RU pulling up with the best RU record, I actually think roman is really good though. Slight Edge.
NU: Ren-chon vs Garay oak - Garay has not had the best time this past month, but I expect him to be able to pull through for 1-2 more weeks with good performances that Garay has shown before in the past.
PU: Ktütverde vs Xiri - Xiri has been fire this tour, with a 7-2 record and piloting interesting teams well. Ktut has been middling in my eyes. Solid Edge
LC: Osh vs Luthier - Again don't know much about LC, while I do like Luthier he has had his ups and downs this tour, and Osh has been good this tour. Luthier might be able to matchup fish and get an easy win as he has done in the past.
Overall: Bakers 6-4. Close series, as expected of a 2 vs 3 seed matchup.
Not gonna predict tiebreaks because both teams have solid options, Tricking will be a favorite in OU though, so maybe Bakers are favored if it comes to that.
