been out for a while but idk what happened, seems ppl dont feel hype for this kind of tours as they used to do before (even st server looks dead when a serie is being played).

I don't predict often but there are some cool games incoming this round

RichardMillePlain vs PDT: (35/65) Richard proved last round he can play lowtiers at high level (outside of Ubers) but in the other hand we got a PDT that showed very dominating in his serie vs SoulWind, tbh playing games like those vs a player as SW in a playoff stage becomes you in a serious candidate to take it all. Both with their main tier on the table put a serie could go anywhere... however ill give the advantage to PDT since think he has more experience with lowtiers.

JustFranco vs Fc: (50/50) very equal serie, FC has the advantage in Ubers for sho but ive seen franco games and what he can do even against bad mu so this probably comes to game five, good luck for both.

Star vs Colin: (60/40) kinda hard not bolding star in a tour, Colin comes after a solid 3-0 againts the LC open winner and probably being around the LC comunity gives him an advantage in that tier however ill give this one for Start mainly cuz think he gets more support and has more experencie around these stages.

mind gaming vs MichaelderBeste2: (45/55) hard to pick here, i put Michael above cuz i like his playstyle but this could go anywhere tbh.
 
RichardMillePlain vs pdt:

I like RichardMillePlain a bit more in Ubers, I like Pdt a medium amount more in most other tiers. Both players won their sets dominantly against some of the favorites, so I expect this one to be the highlight even though I expect Pdt to be favored in most tiers.

JustFranco vs Fc

I think JustFranco is favored in UU, while Fc is definitely favored in Ubers. My gut says JustFranco takes the usage based tiers while Fc takes LC. Both players have been in great form the last year so this could just go down to whoever has better prep on average.

mind gaming vs MichaelderBeste2

I have no rational reason for this but I think mind gaming wins in 4 and the games aren't especially close. I have no idea how either player preps, I do know that these are some of the best players on the site though so I'm expecting quality play
 
Making slam playoffs 5 years apart as a previous slam finalist, more and more people are saying that pdt is the new kingler. I think he’ll take it all.

My highlight series is JustFranco vs Fc — Fc is obviously an Ubers monster but impresses in just about anything he plays. I can’t imagine either player takes this series lightly and, given the assumption that they trade their main tiers at 1-1, it’s very interesting to see how the rest will play out. Maybe the PU omission favors Fc due to JustFranco’s proximity to that lower tier community—who knows? I’ll just predict Fc, I guess, because I have seen him play in LCPL.
