(1) bagel vs qrChar (13) (52/48) - Both of these players have had some great showings in invitationals thus far. In my opinion, some of the builds Char has been loading I consider a little more on the hit or miss side of things, and otherwise, they’re mostly physical offense spam. I’ll admit, I’m more of a fan of loading builds that are more diverse and have a more even matchup spread, and I would say Bagel is doing that more. In terms of skill as a clicker, I have high respect for both, but bagel seems to be locked in under pressure. However, I will not overlook how Char beat zee AND Sealife, two of some of the most talented SV players. Interesting match ahead—especially excited to see what Char cooks up this time!
(7) Yellow Paint vs breakfast enjoyer (6) - (45/55) This is a fire matchup; Yellow Paint is a well-seasoned player who’s had solid performances over time, and Breakfast Enjoyer is a breakout star with impressive performances thus far. Overall, I like the teams and confidence to venture out a little that Yellow Paint has displayed, and in that respect, I think I give the builder advantage to them. Paint seems like the type of player that plays a very clean cut game, carefully managing his resources. Meanwhile, breakfast enjoyer is a top tier clicker, mixing in aggressive gut-feeling plays with normal ones, and whenever he goes for them, he’s almost always right. He has been insane to watch, and I think his playstyle is natural advantage here. Close one, excited to watch!
