Mackenzie is a literal based god so even though he hasn't been playing a ton I'm sure he's gonna win the series, but zvz is super weird so i'll give demi a game. Also demi is pretty swell too so im sure he'll do well in lower bracket anyway
PSiArc 0-2 Enderr
While PSiArc is literally #1 nice sea I'm sure, Enderr is just insane, and good. Not insanely good, just literally insane - I had no idea what's going on in half of the games I played vs him but every time I would just get rekterinoed. If the games went super late and standard I would give PSiArc a map or the series, but lets be honest it's gonna get super weird super fast
Seither 2-0 Azure
S-God playing a matchup he's insanely good at, vs Azure's worst. Add to this the fact that Azure can literally never beat Seither ever in his life's history, and Seither is probs gonna win this pretty solidly, though I can see Azure MAYBE taking a map. See? I'm not even biased (ily craig).
MysticSecret 0-2 Probe
Even though Probe is pretty average in pvp most of the time, MysticSecret is actually just a version of Soul who's not even good at the cheeses he does. I have no idea how he even made it to day 2 past the bracket gods smiling upon him, or some funky stuff happening in the games that he played. Just cause it's pvp he might take a game, but otherwise Probe is gonna easily win this series.
Iaguz 2-0 Ryan Mother F**king Jones aka NXZ
Iaguz is a god. NXZ hasn't been playing an insane amount lately. NXZ has never taken a series off of Iaguz ever I'm pretty sure. Rip Ryan upper bracket dream
Wally 2-1 Blysk OR Wally 0-2 Tilt
If good friend Waldo doesn't go on super tilt and actually plays as good as he normally does, he'll win this series - though the games themselves will be reasonably close. If he tilts randomly before/in the series he's gonna get rekterinoed 2-0 super hard. Basically whether Waldo shows up, or TumescentPie will decide how this series goes. Also Blysk has looked kinda eh lately but maybe he's fixed stuff since then.
KingKong 2-1 Uncle Ben (aka Crimson)
As much as I want to cheer for good old Uncle Ben, the Korean menace has been really strong lately, and while Crimson has looked super good also, I don't think it'll be enough to take the full set off of KingKong. However, if KingKong hasn't practiced since he went to wcs china tourney, that basically noone knew was happening half the time, I could see Crimson barely taking the series.
Peppy 0-2 PiG
Even though he's gone to the caster life for those filthy esports dollars, PiG is just legit a better player in every aspect than Peppy. Peppy has done some good upsets in the past, but unless PiG has become full foreign caster and lost all of his skill since the last time we saw him, I don't think PiG will lose the series. Peppy would have to be extremely on point and a bit lucky to even take a game tbh.
Now that that's done, here's my top 6 based on who's good and bracket luck etc.
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.
