Danny  vs  Guille14 - Danny is a better player and uses solid teams. I feel he's in a good sequence since he won one sv uu individual tour and he usually does well in his games. However, Guille often brings some heat that could bring him the game, so I think he will need to bet on the surprise factor to win this series.

Pepeduce  vs  Real FV13 - I think the same applies to this game, however, I think FV's builds are usually solid (as long as he uses the correct berry) and they're solid in-game, so I think it's easier to see FV winning this series than Guille winning his.

NHelioX7  vs  Yourwelcomethanku - I don't know too much about the other player other than that they're french (?). Anyway, they didn't seem to be better than ywt in any aspect, and the latter is for sure more used to the tier and I like the way he builds a lot, so I don't see a reason not to bold him.

(Winner of yovan33321 vs tier)  vs  Feliburn - whoever wins between yovan/tier will lose to Feli, pce.

(Loser of Lilo vs Staxi)  vs  Inder - I will update this matchup once we know who is Inder's opponent

Corperate n  vs  ishtar - Again, I don't know too much about Ishtar's opponent. From what I saw while laddering, they didn't seem to be phenomenal either in-game or in-building, so I will bold Ishtar without any doubts.

EviGaro  vs  Toto - Better player, better builder, etc. As long as Evi doesn't tilt during the series, she should be strongly favored. However, since we all know it's pretty typical of Evi, I think we can expect Toto to bring this home if they know how to exploit Evi's mentality.

eifo  vs  tlenit - The most interesting series by far. I think I have already said this somewhere but I am a big fan of eifo's gameplay and builds, and I think it will be pretty difficult for me not to bold him in any mu in this tournament. tlenit, in other hand, is also a pretty strong player, and I can easily see him winning this series if he catches some safe plays from eifo. However, I think eifo is a player who knows when to play aggro if he needs to, and he is also a really good builder (even tho he just reused stuff in his series vs luna), while tlenit is not a builder. Anyway, pretty interesting matchup, and I am surely excited to see this series.
