1.Ojama vs. 16. ShakeItUp (ADV, DPP) One of my favorite Frenchies! Having the most points in Smogon Tour history is no easy feat. You can overcome the Round 1 curse!
2. McMeghan vs. 15. TV-Rocka (ADV, BW) TV-Rocka has the edge in DPP; however, McMeghan is strong in every tier and I think he can win in the other two tiers. McMeghan seems more seasoned in the other tiers as well.
3. Bloo vs. 14. CyberOdin (ADV, DPP) What can I say? Bloo is one of the best battlers on the site and definitely has the edge in the older gens. CyberOdin is primarily a BW player, so I don't think he'll have a chance against Bloo in the other two gens.
4. Heist vs. 13 Marshall.Law (ADV, BW) Out of all 16 players, Heist is probably the most well-rounded by performing consistently in each of the three OU tiers. I've seen Marshall.Law play very well in DPP, so I think it will come down to the BW battle which Heist is more seasoned in.
5. undisputed vs. 12. HSA (ADV, DPP) Undisputed is definitely mored seasoned in ADV and DPP. HSA will be relying on other's teams and won't be as comfortable in the tiers.
6. SoulWind vs. 11. reyscarface (ADV, DPP) I do not know Rey, but it seems that he is one of the best ADV players on Smogon so that win is a given. Soulwind is a strong BW players, but I think Rey will take the DPP match and the series.
7. CrashinBoomBang vs. 10. DarkLoïc (ADV, DPP) It's hard to predict against Loic after his astounding SPL run, but CBB is more skilled in ADV and I think he can take down the DPP match as well.
8. 1996ITO vs. 9. Bad Ass (ADV, DPP) Although I do not know him personally, he has proven to be a consistent player in every tier. I would not be surprised if he won the whole tournament.
Good luck to everyone participating!
