1 year ago, I was memed on for my admittedly poor prediction (and subsequent elimination) for the first edition of SSLT playoffs. Having learned my lessons from this experience, I have decided to change absolutely nothing and will be predicting just as fraudulently again. Feel free to quote me whenever I turn out to be wrong (Happens a lot, especially when I play).
1.
Ikaishi vs 32. Setsu (70-30) - Ikaishi seems to be on a mission to dominate the entire ss circuit this year. We can expect him to enter everything, and hopefully win everything provided
Bloshh 's ghosting is as good as I rumors have it. Let's see if Setsu can get either of them banned before the game.
2.
SpookyZ vs 31. Cluelessmagnet (65-35) - While clueless magnet has been on a hot streak recently, I still think it is too early for him to take down a player of Spookyz's caliber in a bo3. Looking forward to this one.
3.
Fakee vs 30. SASAGEYO (70-30) - Predicting this pairing to be fairly skewed towards Fakee: he holds the title for a reason and Sasageyo doesn't play the tier that much from what I know.
4. Bloshh vs 29.
tofa (35-65) - One should never underestimate the power of a pokemon player coming back from a break, and that's tofa in this pairing. He would have been favored regardless in my opinion, but the fact that he was able to touch grass increases his stock exponentially.
5. YoruNoxx vs 28. Abele - The way I have been forced to play way too many buddies during ss tournaments for the last months is a outrageous, I already had bragging rights over abele and now they are being jeopardized, I hate whoever is responsible for this and will get my revenge
6. 4tup vs 27.
Analytic (40-60) - I don't really know how well analytic currently plays, but he's a historical player and qualified comfortably. Could definitely be an upset in 4tup's favor though.
7.
Lacks vs 26. davidTheMaster (70-30) - DTM's sslt run so far is nothing short of inspirational, having laddered for all 4 cycles and qualifying on the last one with a gamecount I am too scared to look up (it's probably in the thousands). I don't think that it will be enough against Lacks however, who should be hungry for a win following his early exit from the seasonal.
8. Ack3641Ack vs 25.
David Watts (45-55) Expecting this pairing to be quite close, but I have more certainties about david's play than Ack's.
9. TheFlyingHam vs 24.
Saintt (40-60) - I need whoever is hiding behind Saintt's account to go far. Please.
10.
SpyOP vs 23. Vusty. (55-45) I don't know enough about these two but SpyOP has played more ss recently. Could be a fun pairing.
11. mrfraud vs 22.
Platum (40-60) - Platum is like, really really good and I am convinced he will surprise a lot of people during this tournament. Since I don't know much about mrfraud's ss, I'll let my bias take over and root for my superstar to win that one.
12.
yone vs 21. StepC (60-40) - Hypest MU of the week for me, my money's on the one's extensive ss experience.
13. ZombieEyeZ vs 20.
Airi (35-65) - Airi has been criminally underrated across the past few ss tournament and its about time they can show what they are made off.
14. Vioz vs 19.
thajester (40-60) - Don't know enough about Vioz to properly predict that one, but jester made it to circuit finals last year and has played really well so far.
15. luuanfps vs 18.
Kustavan (40-60) Don't know much about luaanfps either, so I'll be going for Kustavan who's ss is really good.
16. awyp vs 17.
Hazardeur (35-65) - Awyp is no slouch but when it comes to Hazardeur, I'm always going to be a believer.
May everyone have a great tournament !
PS: Would be fire if everyone could link their games in the SScord so that we can spectate them
