1. Marshall.Law vs 16. Track, Marshall has been on fire lately, dont rly know track but congrats for being here after so little tours
2. Tizio Potente Ao vs 15. PDC tizio doesn't prep much, and pdc with comfort is hard to deal, still super cool mu
3. elodin vs 14. Tenebricite 50/50 on that one, elodin has a lot of exp, but both arent dpp specalist and both have lots of results recently
8. Pideous vs 9. Sossa gotta bold the queen
 
1. Marshall.Law vs 16. Track - 80:20
Brutal matchup, Track has to play out of his life to not fall for Marshall's anti-meta/lures and understand when Marshall is pressing because Marshall's goal is to not allow the opponent to maneuver around. Can't see Track winning here if Marshall gains the momentum.
2. Tizio Potente Ao vs 15. PDC - 30:70
Tizio has amazing "out of the box" type of teams, but PDC is one of the few that has the awareness of that aspect, and Tizio should be in top form, because if he's in a bad state like him vs Kenix at DPP Invitational, there's no possible way for me to believe in him. Top form Tizio should still be PDC favoured around 55:45, but I think he manages to win if he figures out how to break PDC's innovative balance structures.
3. Elodin vs 14. Tenebricite - 35:65
Elodin is amazing, okay? But I think he's just gonna do repeats of the teams he sees or gets from teammates he played with before, while Tenebricite is one of the few I genuinely see that wins the tournament. He has been performing quite well since the DPP Cup, and I see him ready for Elodin's teams while being the better player IMO.
4. Airi vs 13. mien
This 97-year-old DPP player still plays the game the old-fashioned way. Don't bring that dogass Clef Stoss / Soft / Thunder Wave / Encore though.
5. pixie909 vs 12. SFG
Even if it's an offense vs offense player matchup, SFG continues to get haxxed rip.
6. monchooo vs 11. Dridri457 - 51:49 A very close matchup that's heavily dependent on who's the better player IMO. I think Monchooo tends to be the better player, but since this is bo3 and Dridri has drastically improved in there, it's very possible to see him win here. Expect reuse from both, especially from Dridri.
7. harshest vs 10. 199 Lives
Not sure enough of Harshest, but 199 Lives is one of the few players that I believe has a chance to win the tournament. Impress me tho Harshest.
8. Pideous vs 9. Sossa - 65:35
Sossa has rarely had bad lows and tends to be consistently placed above average against most people in DPP. I think he's capable of upsetting almost everyone here. Unfortunately, I don't think he will beat Eve, even if Eve will 1000% reuse teams vs him.

Personally, I think PDC, Tenebricite, and Marshall have the highest chance to win the tournament, but I'm cheering for 199 Lives, Track, and Monchooo to win. Good luck to everyone in this round!
