Predictions

(2)stax vs qsns(15)
tough call here, both great players but I think qsns' determination to use mons below tier 4 might cost him.
(3)Demantoid vs Level 51(14)
I will rarely pick against Demantoid, but this is the set I'm most excited for because of the teams we'll see out of it.
(4)MajorBowman vs Akaru Kokuyo(13)
Jake's one of the best around and he wields meta(gamedefining)gross as well as anyone.
(5)SMB vs Matt(12)
If SMB is able to identify the 3rd most likely pokemon to have a Band or Specs, then realize its the one actually holding them, he should be able to win.
(6)Croven vs Yellow Paint(11)
(7)marilli vs nvakna(10)
marilli is in a self-proclaimed rut at the moment. He's as good as anyone here but if he's in one of those tilted phases of the game, nvakna should be able to capitalize
Croven is a very consistent player and once he has the handle on a meta he's tough to stop, his winrate in circuit was also wild
(8)Z strats vs AuraRayquaza(9)
Auraray is one of the most dedicated players in our community as far as building and playing, been very consistent lately and I expect him to win.

I've set up a predictions bracket for the tournament! Fill in your predictions here. The highest-scoring user who owns a copy of SM or USUM will win a Gold Bottle Cap :)

To players: please leave a couple days for everyone to fill in their predictions! I'll be closing the form after the first battle is played.
