some predicts:
[1] Kate vs Riku Sakuraba [16] better player, better builder and have more experience, although Riku did upset milo while using G-Weez (???) and overall v weird builds so ig there's a timeline where he upset here asw.
[2] vstra vs SOMALIA [15]: p sure it's a rematch from last ssnl, vstra won last time and i'd be surprised if he doesn't win again here, unless he brings stuff that are 6-0 stall twice.
[3] Molly vs Scywave [14]: guess it depend on how Molly is willing to try, last circuit he lost first round when he had a v dominant year bar ndpl. If he's at the top of his form this shld be a hard stomp, if not well it's everyone's game.
[4] Daruma vs Weaselfie [13] just better and showed better performances in the tier, set should be interesting.
[5] crying vs Maxouille [12] if crying doesn't bring stuff like gogoat or sub pup deo-d shld be an easy clap for her, if she does ig it's everyone's game.
[6] Fc vs ChrisPBacon [11] actually way closer than you think it would be, Fc had a good NDPL while Chris struggled more, i think Fc has a better ingame while Chris has more knowledge on the tier, guess it will depend on what teams both are bringing, prob HL of the round.
[7] Elfuseon vs kDCA [10] I really think Elfu can win, he had an overall great showing this year in all tier he entered a tournament. it's kind of the same situation than the above pairing, to me Elfu is better ingame while kDCA has better knowledge and more hours playing the tier. smth to follow fs.
[8] Darkness 789 vs Will [9] I honestly have no clue on how Will is here and why he has such a high seeding but compared to Darkness he's way better and has better support so he shld win this.

rooting for daruma/elfu and maybe vstra although he's annoying

After consulting with the TD team and the National Dex mod team, because this is the circuit playoffs and giving up a position that someone committed to is unfair to the others who would've qualified had SOMALIA chosen to opt out initially, he will be getting infracted for Unsportsmanlike Conduct.

Milo will be taking SOMALIA's place. vstra and Milo will be granted a long extension if they request it.
