[WOL] violet river vs zinc [CRY] -
Okay, my short take here is that this match could genuinely go either way, but that I think River has shown that she's more capable of a player.
[CLA] Garay oak vs shitrock enjoyer [TYR]
Dazi is by far the most capable player in this pool but I think if anyone can give him a run for his money in this section, it is Garay. However, I also think Dazi has a running habit of eating most ADV boomers for breakfast based on play style and approach, and I think unless Garay really pushes himself in the builder, this is going to be a Dazi W.
[RUI] Prinz vs Johnald [BIG]
People may think I'm Crazy for being down on Prinz- even if he did well in Rev- but I genuinely think Johnald has this locked. Prinz's prep and play last week (that attempted dug trap) and I think Johnald is primed to take advantage of that quality of play. You can't get away with throwing your best tool in the matchup on the SPL mainstage.
[RAI] Endill vs mayo [SHA]
Endill's got this, and that's beyond my bias as someone who got into ADV during the Bkccord isolation era. He's a better player, but I do think this matchup is closer than others.
[TIG] Skarpherim vs Triangles [SCO]
Skarph impresses me with his ability to play the game at such a high level on ladder- but I think Siglut's analysis from Last Week is perfectly on the money. He makes suboptimal plays looking to simplify endgames, and I think Triangles is an experienced enough player to leverage that in the MU.
