XSTATIC COLD vs bo_bobson27 (90-10), I think there is little to say here, the balance hangs entirely on the side of xsc. A playstile and a building that tends to overwhelm new players and for this I think it's a one-way matchup. Probably one of the candidates to win the tournament. Difficult to predict against him, but it is still 1v1 ..
Potatochan vs Urfgurgle(55-45) HL, every tournament I play, I always hope to catch one of these two players as far away as possible. I think there is little to say about these two players, their games and results speak for themselves. I consider potatochan better in terms of building and prep(in my opinion it will be decisive for this mu), but still I wouldn't be surprised if urf wins
Nalei vs DEG(45-55), this is the right time for my friend DEG to take a revenge, it will be a good match to watch
ncalathes vs RTM (60-40), Finally there are new valid players who are aware of what they are playing. I think it will be a very enjoyable matchup. Both RTM and NCal have proven to take their proper place within the 1v1 community as respectable and formidable players. I am a fan of NCal and unfortunately I think the PL didn't give him the right credit, he has what it takes to play this LT to the end starting from this round
zioziotrip vs Blanched (50,9999-49,0001) HL I think it's the best spot for 1v1 can have atm. Two players in great form, with fresh ideas, and plays that can be called such. For new players: grab a pen and paper and start taking notes watch how this game is played watching this series ...
smely socks vs Justdelemon (80-20), same speech similar to xsc, I think that smely is well equipped to face the new ladder players and starts with high morale, fresh from a recent PL win
Nick.see vs cleffa hater (99-1), ehmm... only chance is seriosly nick retire
