Match 1 (Draco vs. Aqua): Draco wins ADV no doubt, and I'd certainly give him the edge in DPP. Not sure of Aqua's BW Skills, but that will definitely be the closest of the 3. Overall I think Draco gets the edge in ADV and DPP with BW as a toss up.
Match 2 (BW vs. Blara): Bluewind has impressed me lately and has been on a tear. He might have to make all new teams though, since his DPP and BW ones had a lot of success in the regular season (even if he wasn't the one always using his own team).
Match 3 (undis vs. ENZ0): YO BS. This will be a really cool matchup though. ENZ0 and I probs split BW/ADV and then come down to DPP the metagame we both grew up on this site learning. Actually excited about trying in Pokemon for the first time in months.
Match 4 (Rey vs. Pika): I haven't a clue who Pikaone is, so definitely Rey as the favorite. Rey has been lights out in BW, and DPP he's always been one of the top players too. ADV is my only concern for Rey, but to be honest, Rey is good enough where his lack of ADV experience is a minor concern if at all.
Match 5 (Bloo vs. BIHI): Bloo gonna go out and get it. Rooting for my west bro, look for Bloo to have some of the best and most creative BW teams. DPP is Bloo's weakest point but like any good player I'm sure he can adapt quickly. BIHI is solid in all three gens from what I've seen, but I'd give a definitive edge to Bloo in ADV and BW.
Match 6 (Krack vs. xtra): Krack has always been consistent if nothing else. His playstyle is a little predictable and that's probably all the bad that can be said about Krack. Xtra often has some weird set ideas, and those can either work out really well or really poorly imo. I like Krack in all three, but I think xtra can play his way to a win in BW and DPP if he plays well.
Match 7 (Meg vs. MDrag) M Dragon is a cool dude and I've had the privilege to see him play for about a year now. He's by far the best player at adapting to whatever gen he wants to play when he wants. I'd say M Dragon certainly has the upper hand in DPP and ADV, and then BW looks pretty even and could easily be a match decided by hax or team matchup (what BW game isn't, I guess...)
Match 8 (GS v. KG): Damn close matchup! GS just doesn't seem to have the same drive as last season (got da trophy dgf) but he's still a top notch player. KG has been going at this for years, and I can easily see him throwing together some good ideas and making a good run this year. In my opinion, ADV goes to GS, DPP to KG, and BW is toss up.

Match 1: (Draco vs. KG) - Draco has been doing it big this year. ADV he's definitely got the motivation to show his best stuff, and KG should focus on BW where he has a similar edge I think. DPP will probably be the determinant.
Match 2: (BW vs. MDrag) - Another real toss up match. I'd probably say M Dragon is more versatile in the number of different teams he can make and use in a short amount of time, although a lot of them end up the same style. ADV slightly favors M Dragon but I only say that because I haven't seen Bluewind play ADV much, and then DPP and BW seem like huge question marks to me. I could easily see both going either way, but really all three matches will be very close.
Match 3: ((undis vs. ENZ0) vs. Krack) - Already explained me vs. ENZ0 so won't bother doing it again, but Krack vs. the winner will be another solid matchup. If I beat ENZ0, I'd feel comfortable saying that all three games will be toss ups vs. Krack. If ENZ0 beats me, I take ENZ0 to beat Krack in ADV and DPP. Basically whoever wins me vs. ENZ0 is going to have a set of three very good teams since ENZ0 and I have to make 3 new ones each xD.
Match 4 (Bloo vs. Rey): I'll take Bloo here because were good buds. Rey is a good friend too, but seriously these matches are going to be very close. ADV is probably Bloo's judging by his success over tour, Rey is more experienced in DPP and I think has the edge there. BW will be a match for the books if both players bring their A game. I know some of Bloo's teams, so I'm partial there, but Rey has been nothing short of impressive this season.

1. Draco Malfoy vs. 5. Bloo
2. Bluewind vs. (( 3. undisputed vs. 14. ENZ0 ) vs. 6. Krack)
Match 1: Draco's strengths definitely lie in his mastery of ADV and tour success in DPP. On paper, Draco should win 2-1, but I think Bloo almost has BW on lock, and then could come out as the underdog in either ADV or seemingly DPP.
Match 2: lol I feel like a god damn retard predicting like this but oh well. Whoever plays Bluewind will have some great matches. I'll just talk about how I think every player matches up vs. Bluewind. For starters, I think Bluewind and I would be the most interesting matchup. I'd say we are comparable in every metagame objectively. ADV is likely our weakest points. DPP and BW I think we're both playing at high level recently, so if there was a most even matchup in the tour it'd probably be me and BW (except for maybe Krack vs. M Dragon or something like that). ENZ0 probably is probably the mirror of Bluewind imo. ENZ0 and BW split ADV and BW, with DPP being the tie breaker. Krack vs. Bluewind would probably be pretty close too. Slight edge to Krack in ADV, slight edge to BW in BW and then DPP could easily be a toss up.

LOL my predicts look dum... anyway I want to see a Bloo vs. myself finals. A match for the ages and I can get back at Bloo for Frontier -_-. I'll go through everyone who could play Bloo I suppose lol.
Bloo vs. undisputed: Probably similar to all my other potential matches. ADV and BW would likely be a level playing field if not slightly tipped in Bloo's favor with a slight edge to me in DPP. Bloo isn't a moron though so even though he hasn't been playing DPP as long as I have, he's not going to be some slouch to get here lol.
Bloo vs. ENZ0: Might be tempted to go with ENZ0 just based on metagame matchup. Neither have the flexibility to lose their main metagame and recover in my opinion. Comes down to DPP and I'd give ENZ0 the edge there from experience and knowing that his teams are usually very good.
Bloo vs. Krack: Probably similar to ENZ0, just more even across the board. I'd have no problem believing that all three games would be very close.
Bloo vs. Bluewind: The battle of the blues. I think it would be very similar to if I were playing Bloo. Bloo and Bluewind should concentrate on winning ADV and DPP where each has a slight edge over the other, and then BW will come down to team matchup. Would be fun games to watch.
Yeah my predicts look funny, but I wanted to fill out a full bracket, so I tried to do it in the most objective way possible lol
