since i was on a cruise b4 didnt rly get a chance SO
UNBIASED PREDICTIONS
Wi-Fi Wolfpack (2) vs. Alpha Ruiners (1)
SM OU: ABR vs Cdumas | as always, ill favor abr over pmuch any1 in ou. way too consistent in terms of getting solid matchup and playing optimally. cdumas is good but not good enough
BW OU: SoulWind vs We Three Kings | moxie is above average to me but soulwinds one of the best bwers so have to favor him
ADV OU: Astamatitos vs undisputed | these players are probably pretty even but undisputed is on way too much of a tear to not pick, especially since asta seems to be trending more downwards this spl
Dragonspiral Tyrants (0) vs. Team Raiders (3)
SM OU: z0mOG vs BKC | zomog is decent but its hard to pick against the goat in the tiebreak. even though hes obviously not an sm ou main, he has a great amount of team support and his determination to finally win an spl trophy probably exceeds anyone else in the tournament. add on his obviously stellar plays and it becomes almost impossible to pick against him
SM UU: Christo vs TDK | christo is really solid and im glad he managed to show that hes a great player after being pretty useless in wcop (i mean, he doesnt play ou so LOL). however, pearl has been AMAZING in the amount of good matchups he has been able to generate for pak over the course of the season, and add in tdks elevated play, and it becomes very hard to not pick him in this matchup. not to mention, tdk was a major force in the last uupl, and has displayed a vast amount of knowledge in the tier as well.
DPP OU: Bluewind vs roscoe | roscoe is probably the most consistent dpper on smogon and is making a case to be the best one as well. he's been on a tear and is 2-0 vs bluewind this season. i dont see him dropping this one either
