I haven't played SS for a while, but i gotta predict to not abandona this tier so much.

1. Lacks vs 16. thajester (60-40) I'm not very familiar with either of them, but Lacks is pretty solid from what I've seen, and he's also top 1 vs. 16. Obviously, it would be silly to predict against him here.

2. Ikaishi vs 15. Ado ( 46-54 ) very close match, tbh i like ikaishi here and I think he's quite capable of winning, but Ado is quite solid in my opinion and is someone I find difficult to face each time, so I think Im a little more in his corner, but ngl anything can happen here.

3. Kustavan vs 14. MemphisDepay (50-50) It doesnt surprise me to see Memphis here, as hes had a good year overall in side tours and I think hes quite capable of clicking. On the other hand, theres Kustavan, whos a stall master. I think if Memphis is well prepared, he can win here. Under other circumstances, I'd go with Kustavan, but Im confident in Memphis pick.

4. Hazardeur vs 13. devin

5. c0mp vs 12. MGdos16 (60-40) MGdos16 know what hes doing but, Im here with c0mp, apart from being a solid SPL player he's in the Masters poff, hes had some pretty tough matches and personally his games have been quite good, so I think he'll do well here too.

6. Zokuru vs 11. Typical_bastard (57-43) zokuru, Many still wonder how someone like him can be so cheap in SPL... quite solid, quite creative, one of the best French players in my opinion.

7. Ampha vs 10. Baddy (40-60) I honestly cant deny my surprise at seeing Ampha here... and I also think it's pretty clear that my pick is for Baddy, who we'll probably see in the next edition of SPL. Theres not much else to say here.

8. TakingNotesKinda vs 9. entrocefalo (45-55) earlier this year I thought TakingNotesKinda had been in the SSLT, that wasn't the case but now I see him here which I think is great, personally I would like to see him advance to the next round, although logically I think I'm going for Entrocefalus since he has done very well in SS the last few years winning tier tours simultaneously.
 
1. Lacks vs 16. thajester (60-40) I think thajester would have been a fire sleeper pick for these playoffs but it's really difficult to bold against Lacks with the year he had and the consistency he showed
2. Ikaishi vs 15. Ado (55-45) Still can't comprehend how Ikaishi could possibly end up undrafted in OUPL. The effort he put in this year is commendable and it showed in his results. Ado is still super strong though and Ikaishi can be prone to tilting, this should be a fire game
3. Kustavan vs 14. MemphisDepay (58-42) I'd say Kustavan is maybe more consistent overall but Memphis recycled a lot of teams this year, so if he can prep some new stuff going into this game it might closer
4. Hazardeur vs 13. devin
5. c0mp vs 12. MGdos164
6. Zokuru vs 11. Typical_bastard (62-38) Winter SSNL Finals rematch, these pairings must be rigged smh... I don't recall neither of them playing a lot of SSOU since their last bo so it is going to depend a lot on how much effort they will put into prep imo. With equal effort I am leaning towards Zokuru's experience.
7. Ampha vs 10. Baddy (50-50) Ampha played more ss this year and I think it should make a difference. Closest game imo
8. TakingNotesKinda vs 9. entrocefalo (47-53) Rooting for TNK. While it feels like he's been improving a lot throughout the last few months this game might be happening a little bit to early for him to take down Entro.
