some expert predictions from yours truly
1.
kythr vs 32.
Roxiee- I think Roxiee is a lot better of a player than to get the last ranking in playoffs, but there is just no way I see Roxiee beating Kythr here. I see Kythr winning this as well as next round against the winner of Saba/Blinkboy, which I predict Kythr will get to the Final 4 vs what I predict to be against the winner of the GXE Luthier match.
16.
saba1111 vs 17.
blinkboy - I think this is a pretty evenly matched match, we saw a lot of good stuff from both these players throughout the tour except for Saba when he was using GXE's rain, which I think he lost every time he used that, correct me if I'm wrong. I think Saba is a bit better though and I predict him to win in a close one.
8.
FatFighter2 vs 25.
Cheese5555- I think FatFighter2 is garbage, and Cheese is just much better here. Cheese should win ez 3-0.
9.
TheFranklin vs 24.
PokeArt2004♥- Arce9 seems to have turned on the jets from his week 1 loss to KabilaPok. From what I remember he lost ubers straight up, and then only lost RU on some unfortunate luck. Seems to be the consensus he is one of the best players in this tour, and I can agree with that from playing him a bunch, and he should be favored here against Pokeart but it is not unwinnable for Poke, although Poke themselves may think it is. I predict Arce to win this, and the next round, but then lose to Kythr in the Elite 8.
4.
Luthier vs 29.
Ronman5. Not much to say Luth should win easy, but then assuming him and GXE both win (which they easily should) they will be playing next week, which should be one of the HL matches of the entire tour, as there was a very good chance these two would have met in finals otherwise.
13.
100%GXE vs 20.
Mr. DoTooMuch- Exact same thing I said for Luth.
5.
Decem vs 28.
Hys- Decem should win this although XHys is a pretty good player, so this should be a pretty fun and close series imo.
12.
Let's Rumble Shall We vs 21.
RaJ.Shoot- Tbh not sure why everyone is picking HaiLRay here, I think Raj is just much better here. No offense to HailRay, but I just have been more impressed with Raj than what I have seen from HailRay. HR played solid in his NU game vs Kythr, but then was just completely dominated at the end of the UU game, which I would credit Kythr more with just playing great, than HR playing bad per say, but thats about all I was really impressed with by him so far.
2.
TeamCharm69 vs 31.
lkapkd1- lol.
15.
Miraage vs 18.
Gray- Would have predicted Gray, both are pretty solid players, but I would have picked Gray based on the fact that he got to OLT playoffs. But gray kind of really threw that RU game at the end. Gambit or Mirage or whatever his name is now looked very good though, and is a player I think to potentially watch out for.
7.
Sensei Axew vs 26.
7u9i2- I think Axew should win this pretty easily, although 7u9i2 has impressed me in looking pretty decent so far in TLT.
10.
Sificon vs 23.
SiceXV- I think this should be one of the best/closest series, slightly behind ESM/MJ and Blink/Saba, both have looked solid so far but Sice has impressed me a bit more. Before this tour I thought Sice was just some troll who liked to talk a lot of trash, but I have gained some respect for him throughout this, as well as seeing that he can play very well. I think Sice should win this in a close one 3-2.
3.
APW001 vs 30.
Angels & Airwaves- I think Mal is better here, and should win this one pretty cleanly, and play the winner of ESM/MJ next week. Mal has looked very solid so far in TLT, except kind of getting dominated in 2 vs Stareal. I think next week will be a big test for Mal to see if he can really play at the highest level of some of the tourney favorites and what not.
14.
EternalSnowman vs 19.
MJ- not much to say here, I don't know these 2 players like a lot of other people do, for sure a HL match between two great players. Will be super close, and I'm pretty sure they both probably are very familiar with how the other plays so I don't really want to predict here, as I think this could go either way
6.
Stareal vs 27.
Alternatif- Tbh Stareal is a great player there is no doubt about that, but I am not fond of his attitude at all, as I have only had unpleasant interactions with him on this site so far. Being one of the best players is not an excuse for being an asshole, so I hope he loses, although he probably wont. More than likely though we should see him in the Final 4 if he can beat the winner of ESM/MJ.
11.
iNoLife vs 22.
RichardPepper- iNoLife I believe is a bit better here, pretty sure was the only one who beat Kythr in a game all tour, and has looked pretty solid. Richard can make this close if he brings some fun sets like he usually does, but I hope this time he doesn't switch his RegiEleki into garchomp, or his Rilla into Heatran (as he did in previous rounds). But I'm gonna go with iNoLife here.
