Some heat matchups here, lets do a little predicting.

Roxiee vs. Binacleisthebest: Could be pretty close here, I fully expect this to go to 3 games. I'll pick Roxiee for his consistency.

Blui vs. Darek: Miasmaw is simply the best mon in the tier. Or at least that's what Darek told me.

Noiptile vs. Heaven Jay: Jay is a madman. I'm calling a blowout.

Velvet vs. Rage.Spam.Quit.: Velvet will win with a Pikachu and there is very little you can do about it.

againa vs. snake_rattler: This should be a fun one to watch. I'll call it for snake in 3.

SHSP vs. 2spoopy4u: All spoo needs to do is bring rain twice and he insta-wins.

Lasen vs. LpZ: The Greek God of Heat does it again. If I don't see Weather Ball on a mon that really shouldn't be running Weather Ball I will be upset.

iKiQ vs. arn.av136: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Matchups:

Roxiee  vs  Binacleisthebest - I really want to bold roxie just because I'm 99% sure binpin is about to get monotyped LMAO but I think this is a great case of two people with very defined playstyles that work well for them, and I honestly don't have a great idea who to bold
Blui  vs  Darek851 - Blui has brought the same two teams in all of his games the past two rounds (I guess two variants of the sand team, but does that count? no), and I don't like the matchup these teams have into what Darek typically has brought.
Noiptile  vs  Heaven Jay - I have not been a fan at all of what Noiptile has brought this tour; Jay has some weird building tendencies too, but I feel they're a safer bet.
velvet  vs  Rage.Spam.Quit. - admittedly I am not super familiar with RSQ, but velvet is really good at bringing slightly niche (read: not Pikachu) picks and having good success, and she's plenty capable of smacking people with standard too, so it's not like you can solidly rely on prepping in the builder
againa  vs  snake_rattler - snake has to win this to be able to play me in this tour, so
SHSP  vs  2spoopy4u - sort of a toss-up for me, but in my experience I think SHSP is slightly more stable when it comes to in-game decisions. I've seen a few too many "what in the fuck did I just watch" plays from spoopy
Lasen  vs  LpZ - Lasen is one of the people I think has the best chances of making it to finals, so yeh I'm not betting against him lol
iKiQ  vs  arn.av136 - neither player has looked particularly impressive, meh
