3. Inflikted v. 6. Destiny Device - ita vs br is decided by bw hydro miss turn 36.
4. SoulWind v. 12. Heist - also very close ehhhh, not sure at all

7. Leftiez v 6. Destiny Device - leftiez is better, tho if malfoy ghosts destiny in dpp he can win, and hes definitely capable of taking xy as well

1. Bloo v. 7. Leftiez - hopefully the wait is finally over...

[ium]

xray, mein sonnenschein, du bist mein held

also go bloo.

 

[Leftiez]

Finchinator v. Cristal ==> FA-FOU FA-FOU !! (DPP/BW)
xray v. Stathakis ==> He managed to make it, and i think he deserves it more than his opponent. (DPP/XY)

1. Bloo v. 16. Cristal ==> Highlight, i don't really know how to choose a winner here, Cristal will probably win DPP, Bloo is probably taking BW in his hand, so tie will be in XY which is cancer so cant really predict. GL

2. McMeghan v. 15. Stathakis ==> Bigmeghan did a strong job and i cant see him losing R1, even if stathakis is a solid player i think mcmeghan is better but anything can happen. (BW/XY)

3. Inflikted v. 14. -Tsunami- ==> Even if he acted like a bitch yesterday and today (sry i had to say this and i think you know it) he's nonetheless a good player and has more skill than Inflikted at Stour tier, but Inflikted managed for the 3rd seed so he def cant be bad. (XY/BW)

4. SoulWind v. 13. Rewer ==> Past Smogon tour finalist, even if rewer proved that he could be a good player im still rooting for soulwind because he's solid in all 3. (BW/DPP/XY)

5. reyscarface v. 12. Heist ==> He doesn't even need to play XY, and didn't play for last week, i don't need to argue more, GO HEIST ! (DPP/XY)

6. Destiny Device v. 11. Mix ==> i don't really know Mix, and DD is a fren so im rooting for him, good luck.

7. Leftiez v. 10. Masterclass ==>

8. DracoMalfoy v. 9. Tesung ==> to be honest thats hard to choose for me but im rooting for tesung because he's more solid at XY/BW than Dracomalfoy (i guess), but DracoMalfoy has as much chance as tesung here. Good Luck too.

Gratz to all of the players for making it and Good luck !!!
