Hoop's have the more experienced players across the board with the results to back it up. Prob wont be as lopsided as I predict but I expect them to get the job done.

ADV is a tossup since to my knowledge neither of these players have seriously invested time into rands. SV3 could go either way but idk how much Kaif has laddered recently. Favoring Mags in SS-BW. DPP-RBY is a closer mu but I still think mags players have the slight edge. Dubs is a split, BSSF and HC are tossups but I'm bolding HC boris for the memes, and roulette will be a fun watch. Giving piyu the edge since he has the Lady Writer buff and has played rands more recently to my knowledge.

I was wildly wrong with the Lunala's lineup but to be frank this was worse than anything I could've predicted. Drafting the top two finalists of SV swiss but neither of them are in bo5? Slotting LOSCO in GSC??? River in roulette, who to my knowledge has only played ADV in rands setting and went 1-5 this WCOR? IDK. We will wee how this works out, but regardless of this LU I think the Marsh's were still favored. They have the more experienced players in pretty much every tier.

Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: platinumCheesecake vs oaklies

Platty comes into this season as the current longest tenured HC starter in RBTT (8 straight seasons, right???), and it's literally true that he wrote the book on hackmons cup. However, Oaklies has emerged in recent seasons as a perennial HC MVP contender and certainly will not be rolling over or intimidated by Platty's aura. I'm going to give Platty the slight edge, but my guess is this will come down to game 3 and be very close

Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: BoRida vs Altthiel

Bo is a bit of an HC newcomer, at least in RBTT, but I always say that if you can excel in other rands formats you'll do just fine in HC. Also, the mere willingness to play hackmons cup implies that youve embraced the ridiculousness of it and will be prepared. Altthiel, though, is no stranger to HC at the highest level and consistently bags W's against this tour's best players season after season - until I see more of what Bo can do in this format, I'll give the slight edge to Alt

Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: Ivar57 vs MultiAmmiratore

This one I'm very torn on. I say pretty frequently that I think MultiAmmiratore (chiori) is the top HC player in the pool and is generally the first HC player drafted. They'll be the favorite here, but Ivar57 is an extremely strong player and will be more than up for the challenge. I'm bolding chiori but it's a coinflip, and will almost certainly come down to game 3


HC is absolutely stacked this season, folks - these will be must-see bo3s and I highly recommend tuning in
