Predicts:

squinn(oras,bw,dpp,adv)  vs  Lazy_bread27(sm). plat has had an impressive run but he did seem to get noticeably lucky in the games ive seen. on the other hand besides some early round hiccups, having to come down from 0-2 at least once maybe twice, squinn has looked pretty dominant. i expect squinn to win relatively easily, but could see him tilt as I think hes more tilt prone than other players in this tour. plats lucky that sm is first, as he should be favored and will potentially be able to get squinn to start tilting, making the match a lot closer than it would be

Terracotta(ORAS)  vs  KyogreF4N(SM,BW,DPP,ADV): terra has surprised me with a great run, beating a number of high quality players. I'm still not fully convince of his old gens tho. Although i favor Kf4n in 4 gens, the match is going to be a lot closer than that. The Sm game is pretty much a tossup and the only gen where theres a clear favorite is KF4n in BW. Whoever wins the first game in sm, will be in a really good position

Pohjis(SM,ORAS,ADV)  vs  CKW(BW,DPP) As much as im rooting for ckw to win, i think pohjis still has a small edge. In SM id give pohjis a fairly big edge as hes played a lot more of modern usm at the high level than ckw. Pohjis is also probably the best oras ubers player on the site so i expect him to take that as well. In BW, Ckw has a big edge. Pohjis has looked shaky in this gen from games ive seen, while CKW just came off a dominant performance in roa olympics. DPP and ADV will be close as I rate both of them about the same in them with a slight edge to ckw in dpp and a slight edge to pohjis in adv. I think it likely goes to 5 and either could easily win.
