Ruby:
Spotlight:
The Plant vs *Loki
Ever since Loki has come back from college, he's been on fire, granted his margin of winning against Carl and G80 were barely getting by, he's still here and still on fire. With this momentum, there's rarely anyone that will beat him right now.
zerowing vs *husk
Husk has more experience and bigger name as zerowing didn't start that long ago, so even the intimidation factor could happen.
Atlas vs *peter_pan
I'm not going to lie, I did not expect Atlas to get to r3, granted I don't know who he faced early on, but peter_pan is still fresh from his second place off of sneak, which has to get his confident high, and a German with high confidence and a load of luck, beware.
*Anyone vs OmegaDonut
OmegaDonut is also on fire, while I haven't seen Anyone much, so just based on rustiness and readiness, I'm going for the upset here. OmegaDonut used to battle once upon a time you know.
CaptKirby vs *JMC
CK's suprising entry here will finally submerge. Is there anyone on a higher streak then JMC? JMC is like the biggest tournament winner of 2006, winning both the RBY IBT, and SNEAK3v2. What would keep him from winning the Official Smogon Tournament #3?
BBM vs DevilinDenial
We're going to have to go with the suprising DevilinDenial here, there's no denial that he might be a force to reckon with. Hehe no pun involve. IMO DD is in the bidding for this year's homsar award.
*Darkbolt vs Synchronize
Again going with the upset here. Synchronize is relatively unknown and Darkbolt is always a solid choice but there's just that gut feeling that Synchronize will come up on top.
Pilocus vs Alamaster
Pilocus has been seen practicing a bunch lately and seem to have come to his own within the past couple months while Alamaster is more known for his skills in other metagames, but this is OU. I also almost wanted to pick Alamaster for the whole right side.
Sapphire:
Spotlights:
*MoP vs *Vineon
Heh the last time I battled Vineon was before 75% of the people left in this tourney even joined online Pokemon battling. I'm still going for myself duh.
*Conker vs *Sir Chris
Oh, the Brazilian wonder against the fat luck god. Sir Chris's willful and determination will get him far, but I think it stops here. Conker isn't too unlucky himself you know.
*Aeolus vs *Cerberus
For the sake of everyone's road, I want them BOTH to lose so not bolding any winners here.
Hill vs HiT
HiT aka [skarmkiller] HiT is one of the higher members of said clan, Hill will have to watch out, although he did beat the most overrated person in the gawd dang world VIL in WC! Yes, Vil, the user not in this tournament. Hi Vil ^_^ (Vil rhymes with Hill, coincidence? I think not!) HiT is also another forerunner for the homsar award.
Sarenji vs *Roy
Roy's bedtime will interfere with this.
omni vs *Obi
I'm really mix about this but I'ma say Obi cause omni will get sick of Obi telling omni after everyteam why each damage did that exact amount and end up quitting. Life.
rambo_verm vs Toy
While toy isn't drawing emoesque pictures, he is pokemon battling while no one has even heard of rambo_verm. Can rambo_verm prove me wrong, make me lose a prediction point, AND make a name for himself? Oh god the triple crown.
*Justin8649 vs Karrot
Karrot will win, it's in the cards.
Emerald:
Spotlights:
*goofball vs *chaos
Here we have head honch against goofball. With goofball's more regular activety and with more time to watch chaos when he rarely battles, he should be more prepared.
*Eagle vs *Hairy Pimp
I'm not going to lie, I always thought Hairy Pimp was overrated. Haha and he can't do anything about it to shut me up unless he gets to the finals with me hehehe. Unless he actually does get there and I don't which would be akward like walking into a room and finding your mom having a foursome with 3 guys.
*Lesm46 vs *Floppy Disk
Innovation is key, that's true. But nothing beats the dragon. And the dragon is luck.
Nelo_Angelo vs Fear
Ah, ATQ's lone remaining member, who should probably win over the nonbattling Nelo_Angelo of r2.
gotei(13)hyorinmaru vs Medi
This isn't RBY where gotei supposedly excels, and Medi is still relatively unknown so I don't know who to pick, but as gotei plays RBY a lot, he should be more ajusted to luck should it happen here. Just remember, if there's a Tauros, there's a way.
JefforBaggins vs *Devilkid
Jeffro seems to have gathered himself quite an ego over his recent winnings, which is fun to see, but he now faces a German. From experience, not all the selfconfidence in the world can get you past what we call Nazi luck.
*gdpt vs Judgement
Judgement will probably get grounded.
*Council vs Havak
You know, IPL was on Team Asia for WC, but with his ridiculous amount of hax being able to generate in tourneys, I'm starting to wonder if he is indeed mixed Lesm and German.
