Welli0u vs Proftreez - Here a good matchup, Welliou seems pretty much in form and is a legend as player in SM, but I believe Prof has more meta knowledge rn and he builds his own shits, he also has been clicking pretty well like we saw in play-ins against Strat, I think Prof have a lot of tools to beat Welliou here. A good 55-45 for Prof. I predict 2-1.
ChrisPBacon vs zRyan - Prob a hot take here ? Sure normally I would go 100% with Chris here but I don’t know how much interested he is in this tour and tbh his sm games didn’t surprised me a lot. I actually think Ryan is performing well watching his last games, I also think he will prob tryhard this set, he have a point to prove. A HUGE 55-45 to zRyan, I predict 2-1.
Drachenkeule vs Legitly -
Well ngl I don’t even expected Legitly to make main event since he was playing baddy and always in playins, he surprised me and did bring some nice tech like shedninja stall, no much to talk about drachen, his just the best smer atm between meta knowledge and click, he prob takes that one. 70-30 for Drachen. I predict 2-0.
Tace vs ArcticBreezethis -
That game happend already and surprised me a lot Artic win, tbh I didn’t even know him until this tour, but yea I would predict Tace here with a big %. Eyes on Arctic guy.
*c0mp vs Kustavan -
No one is talking but this is one of the best matchups on main event. C0mp had a fall in SPL after lose Poffs + TB I think his kinda of burned out of this tier, he loves way more oras, I don’t seen Kustavan playing SM since circuit but he’s a omega clicker too, not sure too how much interested his in this tour, he gives me a Chiharu vibe (cancer shit). Iam waiting for this one. 60-40 for c0mp. I predict 2-1.
NoName6293 vs Eelektrone -
Happend already too but I would go with Noname ye, all honest elektro win don’t surprise me a lot, he tryhard a lot this gen even tho he’s also kinda of burned out of SM.
Vert vs SASAGEYO -
Well, prob another hot take ? I believe Vert is a good clicker but we need see how much interested he is in this tour, in meta knowledge I believe sasa is ahead and he’s also a tryhard. I also dislike vert picks so idk if this a hot take at all. 60-40 for Sasa. I predict 2-1
ima vs Kyo - Another fire matchup, this like the match that preceded main events ufc fights, I like a lot ima playstyle and also his builds, but iam not sure how in form he is rn, I already played Kyo and watched him a few times I believe and I feel like he’s that strong. 55-45 for Kyo. 2-1
GeniusX vs Ahsan-219-
Ok, I think ahsan doesn’t give a shit about the tour and prob genius too, but in click Genius is better, fun fact is that both have weird builds but I like genius way more, that prob the matchup we gonna see some seismitoad rain or something like it. 60-40 for genius. 2-0
Eternal Spirit vs blunder -
Ok people are super hyped for this game and iam too, prob this is the MAIN event fight, o Mago is comming from a insane streak with SPL trophy + a huge X-0 in WCOP playing 4 players that is in this tour (he smashed then), all honest I think if Gama actually cares he’s one of the favorites to take it all, in terms of prep I DISLIKE a lot him but his shit works so W.E, now Blunder is a legend but I don’t remember last time I saw him playing SM, yet he’s one of the best builder in smogon history and his click is insane, also one of the favorites for this, sadly one of the go for losers r1 and I believe it will be Blunder. a HUGE 65-35 for Gama. I predict 2-0
Fdmw vs ZDen -
Also a game that already happend (I will do predicts early next round) all honest I did expected a comfortable win from Kyrius here, I like a lot his playstyle and also his build, no surprise here, big respect to zden tho, one of the players I most like in SM, very underrated.
bbeeaa vs Chiharu -
This match will not gonna happen cause haru is a pussy but I would normally go with him here, he’s also one of the best smer in tier but for some reason he just don’t like play Pokémon (UK THING)
Gondra vs MichaelderBeste2-
FIREEE matchup, all honest I love gondra playstyle and like his picks too but MDB is just a beast in Pokemon and I believe he tryhard anything he plays, but in SM is hard to say yet (even tho he just won stour). Hard to pick one here but I believe Michael is more in form and we need to see his picks along the tour, I wanna watch this game. 55-45 for Michael. I predict 2-1
tokyo prison vs Abele -
Well iam a big Devin hater cause of the way he act on tours but I respect him as player, I did expected abele to win here, Abele is in form rn and is on meta, his like a ahsan that worked.
Relous vs Charmflash -
Well, well, well. This match is also fire, I like charm playstyle but I dislike a lot his picks, he still a big respected player and I believe he will deliver some nice games to watch, but I just love relous as player and I put him in my top smers all time, I already played him in ladder too and his click is insane, we need to see how prep goes here for both sides, but a respectable 55-45 for Relous, I wouldn’t be surprised with a charm win too. I predict 2-1
