Empo vs ABR - Shame these guys couldnt avoid each other till finals, defo my favorites to win it all going into top 16. Not gonna bold anyone bc i feel both of these dudes are at their ceilings, and furthermore, at equal skill levels. I would say adam has been more varied with his teams and the less predictable one when focusing on the builder, but you cant count empo out with the support of the italian mafia behind him(s/o will of fire). Whoever wins this is my favorite to win the tour, and i think both recognize they are facing their final major obstacles between themselves and the pink. A must watch. That being said gonna have to root for abr as i hope he can break the olt curse and bring the trophy to america. Still love u empo.
Kebab mlml vs Tricking - Italian mirror match, both dudes have been solid enough but it would be kind of crazy to not bold tricking here. Kebab pulled some very nice mus last round and piloted them to a clean win over typh, but vs the more seasoned woatli he may find himself having to make more plays than hes been accustomed too. Nonetheless, im pretty sure these guys are friends and kebab prob knows alot about tricking so an upset is possible.
Sacri' vs le LLiolae - Sacri finds himself in top 8 (where he shoulda been last year kek) facing off against a fellow frenchmen in our second country mirror match. Not a hard bold to make giving sacris experience and consistency but LLio has definitely proven himself as a worthy opponent. Having brought some rly cool teams, ive enjoyed watching both thus far and hoping for a close set.
Liones vs Dora - After the dumpster fire that was mimo vs liones r5, liones ditched the advanced ship dogshit in favor of some more solid teams, allowing him to achieve an upset over charmflash last round. On the other side, dora is lucky to be here thanks to hjk and has not rly stood out to me from his past sets. Gonna go with the safe(r) bold here but i still think this is gonna be close.
Gonna be a very fun round to watch as I dont see any mus that are truly lopsided. Gl to all!
