Elite eight predicts

livid washed vs flameingpigey2 - Livid's 1st seed status has looked very solid thus far and always being able to bring 2 of gens 1/2/3 makes it hard to bold against him with this remaining field. I do think Pigey will put up a great fight and I have this one going to 5 games with Livid winning via 1/3/6

R1C3M4N vs LoSconosciuto - Highlight match of the round for me. I think its super close and Losco will edge out riceman in g5 with gen 2. Losco in 5 via dubs/2/9

Michielleus vs Vioz - Michi is the favorite here but I think Vioz has been gaming since our KOTH set and I want to go with this as the upset pick for this round. Vioz in 5 via wining gens 5/6/7 with elite ghosting support from Piyu

lichess vs Munchy_Axolotls - The upset bracket, s/o to both of these players for making it this far into playoffs! Lichess in 4 via winning gens 5/6/9
 
It was GREAT to play the circuit until top16, but now it's time to do predictions while i enjoy the sidelines! :D
livid washed vs flameingpigey2 - I believe Flameingpigey is capable to upset here. You can do better than me my friend, prove me right and go all your way for it.
R1C3M4N vs LoSconosciuto - Tough. Riceman is one of the most consistent players i've seen playing this year, but Losco is the definition of consistency. He is able to do the best moves most of the time even under the greatest pressure, as he showed on his reverse sweep vs Justout. I believe Doubles is gonna be the key as it was last round.
Michielleus vs Vioz - Another tough choice, i go with Michielleus because i think he is still better both on 6 and 9. Vioz played AMAZING so far and he really surprised me, i believe this will be very very close. (Michi if you win i expect to see Hackmons from you next!!)
lichess vs Munchy_Axolotls - Lichess shined on gen9 this year and he proved to be really good in recent gens but Munchy provided us the best show ever in the playoffs until now. Personally, i favor Lichess in doubles as well, but i don't know if he can tank Munchy's chaos. Go Munchy, avenge Adelynn!

No hate to anyone of course but I think there's a clear favorite in each of the matchups and yet none of the predicts so far agree with me so I felt compelled:
Reasoning the same for all, better all round player imo
livid washed vs flameingpigey2
R1C3M4N vs LoSconosciuto
Michielleus
vs Vioz
lichess vs Munchy_Axolotls
 
4 predicts seems a lot easier than 8, so I'll weigh in. Largely agree with Chains here
livid washed vs flameingpigey2 - Livid has seemed almost unbeatable with their first seed picks and solid gameplay. I think it will take a lot from pigey to win this one.
R1C3M4N vs LoSconosciuto - This is only one that I'm not sure about. I think this could definitely go to g5 and could be decided on mu at the end of the day. Highlight of the round for sure. Will go with R1C3M4N here cause he's my US West goat
Michielleus vs Vioz - I love you Vioz, but Michi is probably just a step above in most of the selected gens.
lichess vs Munchy_Axolotls - #1 lichess fan, this guy isn't just a gen 9 player I'm telling y'all + Munchy's luck eventually gotta run out somewhere. Expecting a very fun set from these two.
