Predicts:
tlenit vs Beksel (75 vs 25). On the one hand, tlenit is one of the best builder and player in the ZU community, always going with creative builds and making solid plays. On the other hand, Beksel came back from his retirement some months ago and showed solid level of building and playing, however I think he is still far from the level of tlenit. That really sucks, because I think Beksel is a promising ZU player and I think he is better than some other players in the pool. However, tlenit is just too good.
lockjaw vs
landon. I don't know enough Lockjaw so it's hard to tell, but Landon has more experience in the tier and is an extremely solid ZU player, so I'm giving him the edge.
Ho3n vs 5gen (55 vs 45). Highlight of the week. I think both players have similar building level, but Ho3n is a more solid player in my experience. However, lately Ho3n has been playing more other tiers than ZU (NFE, NU, and I may miss some others), while 5gen just went undefeated in UMPL playing ZU, so I can really see 5gen win there too.
daniYSB vs drud. Kinda the same as for lockjaw vs landon. I don't know drud and dani has more experience in the tier.
Terreitor vs nulthur (100 vs 0).
laevin said someone who lost to
Bekaray can only get stomped.
Serving Suggestion vs
Blood Ace (30 vs 70). Serving Suggestion is going to rely on cheese because I haven't seen them doing anything else and they do it pretty poorly. Blood Ace should win pretty easily if he doesn't get unwinnable matchups and doesn't choke. Tbh I haven't seen BA play seriously for a while, however his builds for UMPL were all solid and therefore I'm confident that he'll easily defeat SS.
czim vs yovan (60 vs 40). On the one hand, czim is one of the best ZU players and always bring solid teams. On the other hand, yovan isn't as good at playing and his builds are often wack. I know yovan can bring some cheesy builds to counter team czim, but czim is good enough to overturn negative matchups, unless yovan brings the perfect counterteam.
beauts vs
Albinson (40 vs 60). I don't know Albinson much but I think that tox is in a really bad position. I haven't seen him play ZU for a while, since I only remember him spaming broken rain which is now banned. After seeing him play and build in NFE for UMPL, idt he'll be able to build several consistent builds and beat Albinson who's known to be a solid player.
