Predictions

Winner's Bracket

Ballfire  vs  DuGuo - Ballfire has pretty good chance to win this. I'm still bolding DuGuo tho cuz he's my pet.
Farce Of The Death  vs  Quantum Tesseract
lepton  vs  zioziotrip - lepton has good teams and was a bh main?
Tea Guzzler  vs  willdbeast - owo this is fun. I guess Tea Guzzler is better with his kinda stresh-like builds.
PandaDoux  vs  dunkthelunk
eljiel  vs  Codename C.A.T
Career Ended  vs  longhiep341
Kabilapok  vs  TTTech
MAMP  vs  cityscapes - OWO best battle of the round i'd say. MAMP is great but YOU CAN ALWAYS BELIEVE CITYSCAPES!
a loser  vs  Potatochan - If someone is a newcomer, they should beat a loser.
Dragonillis  vs  XxSevagxX - Hoping to see sevag lose this.
Ivar57  vs  beauts - I'll bold beauts as long as she isn't paired with a this good player.
Andyboy  vs  Ztest - People say this one is good however I don't know Ztest ;-;
Shing'n Streets  vs  Tanny89k
in the hills  vs  Onyx Onix 7 - ith brought some interesting teams last round, but bolding onyx here may give them some confidence?
Jqlove  vs  Beka

Loser's Bracket

I don't know most people here so I just predict you to have great fun.

 

[Akeras]

My opp give the win

 

[Tea Guzzler]

predicts time

Ballfire vs DuGuo
Farce Of The Death vs Quantum Tesseract
lepton vs zioziotrip - lepton used to main BH, giving them an edge, whereas last round zio used one of city's teams and paid the price by missing every zap cannon and 2 blue flares on specsavers reshiram.
eljiel  vs  Codename C.A.T
Career Ended  vs  longhiep341
MAMP vs cityscapes - these both have very good building, play and both have the capability of bringing shit that can just win on preview. i don't think there's any clear-cut winner.
a loser vs Potatochan - losr's strong play and good building should guide him to victory, especially given his wacky techs on otherwise standard mons to catch people off guard.
Dragonillis vs XxSevagxX - test games with sev tell me that his structures are incredibly diverse and hard to predict, although he has a crippling allergy to prepping for simple.
Ivar57 vs beauts - this one's mostly down to a sheer experience advantage imo.
in the hills vs Onyx Onix 7 - similar to the above. my point from last round still stands about loading blind into a new onyx team.

half of these are missing because no replays / wasn't able to watch
