Conflict vs. McMeghan - This should be a good one. I would say McMeghan would take BW and Conflict DPP. XY OU is a toss up. I think either has a good shot of winning this prelim. Pulling for McMeghan, though.
1. Bloo vs. 16. McMeghan - This is a hot round 1 match (if McMeghan wins, that is. Conflict vs Bloo would be v good, too!). I think all three tiers are toss-ups, but this tour has been all about Bloo and his performance. This is your year, Blooregard, don't let me down.
2. Aqualouis vs. 15. Double01 - An interesting match-up here. Double01 started the season very hot, winning the first Saturday XY tour. Over the weeks, he seemed to have slowed down. Louis has been pretty consistent all season long, and because of that, I'm gonna have to go with him.
3. M Dragon vs. 14. Perche No Fai - I'll be honest, I don't know all that much about Perche, so I went with the safe pick in M Dragon. Perche managed to sneak his way into top 16 at the last possible second, so maybe he can ride that momentum to take down the Maestro. Anything is possible.
4. Ciele vs. 13. Dice - I'm looking forward to this match-up. I'd say Ciele would take DPP and Dice would take XY, and BW would be the decider. Pulling for Ciele, because Ciele n_n. Hope to see this series live.
5. Ojama vs. 12. Leftiez - Back again to win a Smogon Tour for his mother country of Guadeloupe, Leftiez returns to top 16. I think the addition of XY over ADV is beneficial for him, but Ojama is just too good. Not much to say about Ojama, he plays tours and wins matches. I expect no different here. I think Leftiez will give him a good run for his money, though.
6. FLCL vs. 11. Marshall.Law - This is the match-up I'm torn on the most. I would say Marshall takes DPP and FLCL XY. I'm not too sure on who would win BW, but either participant seems capable of taking it. Should be a fun one.
7. Pridy vs. 10. Masterclass - Here, I'd go with the safe pick in Masterclass / Sweepage / yeah, you know the rest. I don't really know much about Pridy, so I went with Sweep.
8. PDC vs. 9. yan[sogeking] - The dreaded OST rematch. Those matches were pretty bad, btw,,,, Anyways, I think yan will takes this series 2-1 winning BW and XY.
