Joeshh vs Ikaishi (80-20) : Will be surprised if joeshh drops this. His in-gameplay is super solid and hes able to build competent teams. Ikaishi's play is rough around the edges, but he might be able to sneak away with a dub if he steals good teams from his capcl team.
Lasen vs Scizivire (99-1) : Confident in lasen to simply play better and win even bad mus here. Dont think theres much else to say, sciz I dont think is good at all, so other than d2 levels of misfortune I dont see the greek freak dropping this one.
D2TheW vs Da Pizza Man (75-25) : Its gonna be an uphill battle for dpm if he wants to emerge victorious here as he faces the previous champ r1. d2 is a monster in individuals, especially since he'll start building again for capcl. dpm needs to win the battle in the builder if he wants to stand any chance.
spoo vs snake (65-35) : I rate spoo very highly, both in the builder and ingame. I think snake's gameplay is washed but he can still cook up some sense out of the nonsense that is SV CAP, which may simply win him the game on preview. This will be an entertaining series if snake decides to make some teams.
Brigtel vs metagross does architectu (60-40) : This is the mu im least informed about, but biased towards my former teammate whos currently doing well in cap tours. MDA (im going to use this abbreviation) has admittedly been making waves in the circuit this year, but yeah just going with the person im more familiar with (prove me wrong though !!)
pannu
vs Darek (49-51) : Cannot fucking believe that the higlight mu of the round involves pannu, but here we are. Darek will load miasmaw or sun for the 150th time this year and win one of the games. Pannu's gameplay is slightly better and they are on the same capcl team so cant leech off teams from there, I think this is one of those evenly matched series that will be determined by a fp or a scald burn
Liimpy vs
Sificon (30-70) : Unless piyush manages to cook up something smooth brained for limpy to use, its looking bleak for our boi. Sifi is better at both building and in-game, so unless he fumbles, he should take this comfortably.
Concept Everything vs
entrocefalo (45-55) : There are other circumstances that make me feel that this series will be closer than it appears to the naked eye. Entro is definitely the better player by miles, but man is in 50 other tournaments right now, with one them being SPL (gl !!). CE is a creative builder, and if he manages to exploit that and work on his gameplay, I think he stands a fighting chance here.
SHSP dex @ others post predicts. Circuit champs is always a good time
