It's funny that every players avatar is young and then Kink's is an old man. Highly accurate!

Also go Accelgor, Adaam, and ofc Kink. A UU mainer needs to bring home the big bucks this year!

lax vs charmflash - i can't predict against my manager bro
adaam vs serene grace -i love adaam but serene grace is rlly motivated and a solid player
pohjis vs accelgor - soulwind of lower tiers
pak vs ht - ht gonna flex PU skills and clutch it in a close one
kink vs cora - idk these two super well but cora has had the sauce lately from games i've seen
santu vs star - star is goat
garay oak vs xiri - garay is goat
teddeh vs eternally this is a mega highlight
r1 picks for whole tour victory: lax, serene grace as a dark horse, eternally or teddeh depending on who wins that game, but going off my predicts i guess eternally then.
