Well let’s do some predicts shall we

1 Kink vs 16 Le Sabreur: This isn’t really a matchup I know too much about but Kink is really solid, playing a lot atm and I respect his play a lot, so going w him

8 zugubu royale vs 9 Ov3r Ac3: A really interesting series between two guys who I know qualified with stall and (as far as I’m aware) aren’t UU mains. Probably going to be one of the closer series and I’m going to give it to zugubu based solely on his NLT success

4 explodingdaisies vs 13 Amane Misa: First of the highlight series, I think Misa has a little more versatility so going with her but this could 100% go either way.

5 Freeroamer vs 12 Bushtush: What a series R1, both guys I respect a lot and the biggest series in terms of names, but it’s really tough to predict against den hero Bush.

7 yeezyknows vs 10 Sage of the 6: This is the series I’m most hyped for, between two quality players and really nice guys. It’s also probably the closest in terms of play quality, team choices etc. I can’t chose a winner and I really look forward to watching this one

3 xMarth vs 14 Kebab mlml: While this looks like a bit of a mismatch on paper, Kebab is gonna be a tough test for xMarth and there is definitely potential for an upset here. Kebab has been playing really well these four weeks, as well as making a great push this morning to nip into qualifying. Fuck it, I’m making my (only) big dick predict.

6 CBU vs 11 PinkDragonTamer: Again, a series I plan to catch live and one that I’m really excited about. Both players have been playing a ton lately and have used some really cool builds but going with CBU cause of his much better tour experience.

Rob and I plan to play at 8pm BST (British Summer Time) on Saturday, hope for a good series!!


can we get like 3 people to disappear for a week so bebo can play plz and thankyou
 
ggs cbu, those were some really great games vs. my all time uu dad, sorry to see you go after this tour ;-;7

edit: forgot to put technician on that sciz game 1, there's that tour inexperience right there for ya

Currently 5/6, let’s go again!

Kink vs zugubu royale: Kink looked solid in his Ro16 series and although zugubu overcame Ov3r Ac3 nicely Kink should be a much sterner test

Amane Misa vs Bushtush: Misa surprised me with some really cool prep for daisies, not one of her three teams could really be considered standard and this shock value could be really valuable in getting past Bush. This’ll be a really hype series, can’t wait to spectate this one

xMarth vs CBU: CBU just about snuck past PDT in a really close one last time around and xMarth was the only player to win in two, but CBU’s gonna be super motivated to go out with a bang with a deep run here, so I’m going with CBU in what is again, a really interesting series.

Hyped for my series vs Sage, probably be some time in the evening GMT
