Anyway! My predictions!
Pool A23:
RTD pulls breaks into the semifinals in winners. Pretty hard to call anything else as I'm not familiar with the Korean or Italian player and know Drake is relatively strong.
Pool A24:
Jimmy makes it out in winner's. Once again, loser's is really hard to call for me.
Pool A25:
Mateo makes it out in winner's. Tough call between KAB and Typhoon. Not sure if KAB's fundamentals can beat Typhoon's matchup knowledge.
Pool A26:
Eita in winner's, Kbo in loser's.
Pool A27: Revin122, Bonchan (Japan), Animefreak (#45)
Hmm...will leave the names for everyone to see. Bonchan makes it out in winner's. Cointoss between Regin and Animefreak.
Pool A28: ShenOu (#19 Singapore), STB/MKU | Shujinkydink (#34), ViciousSuicide, Tokido (Japan)
Tokido makes it out in winner's; ShenOu pulls it out in loser's.
Pool A29: Dr. Mariokart (#9), Crna Ruka (Japan)
Who the fuck?
10AM Pools
Pool B23: Woahhzz (#4), AvM | Gamerbee (Taiwan)
Woahhzz in winner's, lest nerves get to him (doubtful, as Gamerbee isn't too well known in the SC circle), Gamerbee in losers.
Pool B24: ShenYuan (#23 Singapore), Greven (Switzerland), Kiras (#30), Purpleslurp, Saru (Japan)
ShenYuan makes it out in winner's easily, Greven pulls through in loser's.
Pool B25: Hawkeye (#13), Esom, Crsk (Japan), Hates (#40)
I have a feeling this bracket will be full of upsets. 3 frontrunners are Hawkeye, Crsk, and Hates.
Pool B26: ShenChan (#5 Singapore), Afrocole, Bibulus (#18), CafeId | countien (Korea), EG | fLoE (#29), IceColdEdge, Kamaage (Japan)
Damn...another stacked bracket. ShenChan in winner's though...loser's is hard to call.
Pool B27: EG | Justin Wong (#26), Sousuhi (Japan), Byakko (#31)
Sousuhi makes it out in winner's, JWong in loser's.
Pool B28: MysticBill (#12), Jashin (Japan), Polish Mafia (#41)
Mysticbill and Jashin.
Pool B29: Ryujin (#2), CafeId | Kura (Korea), KineticClash, Keev (France)
Gotta look at the bracket to see how this one would go. Have a feeling there'll be a bunch of upsets.
12PM Pools
Pool C23: Devilchipp (#22), Masketkt (Japan), Ssnortme imdop3
Hard one to call.
Pool C24: Deviljim (#15), Rickstah, Oosaka (Japan), Hussler (#38)
Rickstah makes it out in winner's.
Pool C25: Nuta (Japan), Greatone1939 (#17), King Salmon, Lobster Johnson, Uber1337
Hard one to call with King Salmon and G1 being the first fight but it's between King Salmon, G1, and Nuta.
Pool C26: Shining Decopon (Japan), SCPartisan (#7), Shironuko (Japan), Chickenwing, Flipinflava (#46), Qdogg
I know Partibot will hate me for this, but I think it's a tossup between him and Shining Decopon. There are possible upsets in loser's.
Pool C27: EMP | Black Mamba (#20), Dreamkiller, KrayzieCD, Something-Unique (#33), Aopai (Japan)
SU is unconfirmed right now because of money issues, so KCD in winner's, Black Mamba in loser's.
Pool C28: Ramon (#10), Kane, Goofus, Augustin (#43), Michael Jackson, Jon Hammer
Ramon and Augustin.
Pool C29: LostProvidence (#3), Belial (Russia), Malek (France), Manta
LP and Belial.
2PM Pools
Pool D23: Signia (#24), Soakrates, A016245 (Japan), EMP KDZ (#8)
Signia makes it out in winner's unless he has to play KDZ.
Pool D24: Kayane (#14 France), Malice (#39), Fuudo (Japan)
I think Malice can beat Kayane due to both of their styles of play (if he knows Viola, that is). Fuudo is a really smart player, but he'll lose to ignorance.
Pool D25: Kissa (Japan), Jaxel, EMP | LinkRKC (#6)
Link in winner's.
Pool D26: Spman, Xephukai (#21), Dusk0naka (Japan), Akazukin chacha (#32)
Xeph in winner's.
Pool D27: Raphire (#11 Singapore), ESA | Enkindu
Raphire in winner's.
Going to check back on this after the first day and see my accuracy.
