Hello and welcome to cynara honest predictions.

Staxi vs Highlord (#16)
Highlord caused an upset last round getting a surprise win against Byron, that being said I have faith in the frenchie here, Highlords USM game was a disappointing watch but I think he finds strength in DPP and ORAS, and if his prep game is on point like he did in oras game vs Byron maybe he can snub another upset.
(#2) Pohjis
vs Evuelf (#7)
Highlight of the tournament in my honest opinion, both players have a tough bracket this tournament so far. This series is weird because its so close, Pohjis has the advantage is USM and ORAS I feel, Evuelf favoured in BW, both players will need to make use of all their strengths if they both want to win, looking forward to a solid 5 series game. Pohjis has Stour finals to worry about more so which I feel like will be his priority to prep for and I dont blame him.

dream vs Sitonai (#6)
I honestly feel like dream had a rocky start this tournament and he will need to get really into it this series, he has all the tools to make a great performance in this classic and i'll be happy to see it happen. Sitonai's performances can't go unnoticed and both players are pretty solid all round, I feel like dream is slightly favoured here like peak performance Ronaldinho, thats PROVIDED he does not bring another atrocious team to BW2 ever again.

SoulWind vs Ismakhil (#13)
Not much to say here, Soulwind is Soulwind, highest skill ceiling player in the tour blah blah etc etc. Ismakhil will have to pull out all the stops here and use his knowledge of Ubers metagames to his advantage especially in ADV-BW, to see it through this round.
