Predix: (Though I have no clue what I'm talking about)
aim vs Hill: Idk who's gonna win here: aim has been on fire recently but the pressure's on (I see him livestreaming the final, could be great or awful), and Hill is an expert at clutch situations, despite a lack of hype
Sinclair vs Blue Star: Yeah Sinclair has skill but Blue Star is older and better
dragonuser vs KratosMana: KM is good and all, and probably high on confidence after shattering King's record, but DU is so good that doesn't really matter
gr8astard vs Destiny Device: Best Teambuilder: (Better than CTC will ever be), and top level player, Hugo has this (assuming he doesn't choke like last round)
Bro Fist vs Dekzeh: XY Battle of the series, Dekzeh is probably better though, however hax or matchup can turn the tides
CTC vs yan(Sogeking): CTC is an okayish player and may make a surprise team, but Soge has solid skill and the hunger to win (cause CTC only wants bragging rights for trolling purposes, Soge wants to win)
August vs Hantsuki: Why is Hantsuki playing DPP?
BKC vs DracoMalfoy: What would have been awesome is if they played both ADV and DPP in this series, both are tight ADVers though and will play a great game (unless its a 400 turn stall war....)
End: Probably East will retain the title, with a little hax and a choke or two Brazil will win, either way its a tight series and the winner will have earned it. Gl both teams!

XY: aim vs. Hill - aim is pretty solid, and Hill hasn't impressed me much, so going with the former here.
XY: Sinclair vs. Blue Star - don't know Sinclair, so picking my old PO Mod colleague.
XY: dragonuser vs. KratosMana - DU is TR, so he's good ;)
XY: gr8astard vs. Destiny Device - gr8 has impressed me lately; my guess he'll win because I don't know the other guy.
XY: bro fist vs. Dekzeh - I enjoy Dekzeh's decks so I hope he wins, but bro fist is also good.
BW: CTC vs. yan[sogeking] - sogeking sucks, but CTC sucks more!!
DPP: august vs. Hantsuki - august is good, but Hantsuki is underrated; she'll win I think.
ADV: BKC vs. DracoMalfoy - BKC is in my personal top3 best players, so he should live up to it.
Tiebreaker battles in Finals are always fun ^^

XY: aim vs. Hill - Hill impressed me after last night's game.
XY: Sinclair vs. Blue Star - Sinclair is solid. Haven't seen much from BS in XY.
XY: dragonuser vs. KratosMana - dragonuser has been doing well this WCoP. That being said, Kratos can win.
XY: gr8astard vs. Destiny Device - Same as above.
XY: bro fist vs. Dekzeh - Dekzeh is Brazil's best XYer imo, I reckon he should take this one.
BW: CTC vs. yan[sogeking] - I think fortune will be on the side of sogeking for this game oO
DPP: august vs. Hantsuki - More consistent but Hantsuki is good at bringing weird stuff that works.
ADV: BKC vs. DracoMalfoy - BKC is on top form recently.
I reckon East will win again, but this I wouldn't be surprised if Brazil won it either.

BW: CTC vs. yan[sogeking] - Yan can win for sure, I just don't really see it happening.
DPP: august vs. Hantsuki - You proved you were a cut above the rest in the Malekith game.

Brazil, you done well to get so far. But here is your final boss battle with 0 lives remaining. I really don't see East losing.

XY: aim vs. Hill This guy is always a few steps ahead of his opps. Glad he's on YouTube, tired of seeing fucking BlameTruth Relicanth sets everytime I start a new alt.
XY: Sinclair vs. Blue Star
XY: dragonuser vs. KratosMana
XY: gr8astard vs. Destiny Device I was right last time
XY: bro fist vs. Dekzeh Evenly matched
BW: CTC vs. yan[sogeking] grinds in the trap but also grinds in the teambuilder, CTC will bring the right team.
DPP: august vs. Hantsuki
ADV: BKC vs. DracoMalfoy I don't know ADV at all.
I'd like to see some players on both teams get a trophy. GL to both!
yan[sogeking] 6-0ed the best BW OU player on Smogon last round. CTC has no chance unless he brings a silly gimmick that catches yan off guard.
The aim vs Hill and gr8astard vs Destiny Device and bro fist vs Dekzeh matches look entertaining.

US East (5) - (3) Brazil
XY: aim vs. Hill - hill definitely rocked in his last game, but aim is and has been being a top 5 XYer
XY: Sinclair vs. Blue Star - my brudder gabriel is easily one of the best in DPP/BW, but he hasn't impressed me much in XY and sinclair is really solid. i hope you'll prove me wrong though ;]
XY: dragonuser vs. KratosMana - KM has been playing well so far, but dragonuser is really really good
XY: gr8astard vs. Destiny Device - destiny is actually a really solid XYer, but i think gr8 has more experience in big tours, plus he's a better teambuilder
XY: bro fist vs. Dekzeh - bro fist so far has showed to be a legendary-level player, but dekzeh is rly good as well and he has the advantage in that he'll bring a really weird set that NO ONE expects
BW: CTC vs. yan[sogeking] - sogeking is easily a top 5 BWer skill-wise, i think he can win even through a bad matchup
DPP: august vs. Hantsuki - august is a math major, an ost winner and is undefeated. if malfoy ghosts, it'll be a close match though.
ADV: BKC vs. DracoMalfoy - i heard that malfoy was already a top player back in the 2005 adv era, and pokemon skill only tends to grow during the time (unless if the player stops playing), and there isn't much team matchup in ADV, so i think malfoy nets the win barring hax.
i think brazil can definitely win, though, or at least force a tiebreaker. i doubt east will win it as easily as some people are predicting.

I've been on the World Cup where Brazil made his worst year and I felt the pressure and I was upset with the result, however, I see that the team did not give up erasing that previous result and today got his best campaign in history, arrived in a final.
Congratulations Team Brazil, I cheer for the success of you and I hope that the title may come.

XY: aim vs. Hill - Joey has more experience at XY than their opponent so rooting for him.
XY: Sinclair vs. Blue Star - Blue Star was rly good at DPP/BW but no idea how good he is at XY, Sinclair have played this meta for while so rooting for him but no surprise if Blue Star wins because he is a great player.
XY: dragonuser vs. KratosMana - I cant predict DU to win when he almost lost last round against a Spice Girls team until their opponent choked, Victoria.
XY: gr8astard vs. Destiny Device - Hugo is a top 3 XY/BW OU all-round as player and teambuilder, specially after their last game I cant see gr8astard losing this one.
XY: bro fist vs. Dekzeh - Another really close game, slightly advantage for bro fist because I dont like dekzeh teams.
BW: CTC vs. yan[sogeking] - Some guys really underestimate CTC; just bring a team which does well against any standard team archetype and win.
DPP: august vs. Hantsuki - People needs give more credits to Hantsuki, a really underrated player which plays pretty well under pressure but august + best dpp teambuilder core is just insane.
ADV: BKC vs. DracoMalfoy - hl finals imo A bit dissapointed with Malfoy when he used that Smeargle team last round but this will be a tight game.
I'm really liking the ADV/DPP games, the series will be closer than I predicted anyways.
Have to fun to both teams, best of the luck and then maybe the best win :)

No one underestimates, CTC, love. He's, matter-of-factly, a bit overrated like some of his East teammates. I'm not gonna name drop anybody.
