Sky Tower Lindworms (1) vs (2) Lanakila Nagas
OU: Eo Ut Mortus vs Sacri': i think The Sac is one of the best SS players out right now, and the way he played last week (while also changing up his style!!!) really showed that. i do rank eo lower than sacri, but not by much. on top of that, eo has been on an absolute tear this tour, and he is definitely a better metagamer than sacri. given that he is very familiar with sacri's style, i think he is more likely to pinpoint and exploit these weaknesses here than anywhere else... something he's already proven to be great at doing in this tour. very close one, very exciting one, but clearly in favor of eo.
UU: Garay oak vs SoulWind: garay's a solid player, but there's a pretty big skill gap here. i also assume soulwind has a significant leg up on tier knowledge too, but garay has a whopping five days to learn the tier. anyway, soulwind has been in these situations before, so it's gonna take a lot to top him here.
DOU: umbry vs Tenzai: picking doubles is extremely cursed, and tenzai did win vs umbry last time. still, umbry is the better player by a decent margin, but such a tiebreaker pick is really only justified with an absolutely dominant doubles player. i don't think losing to someone is a dealbreaker for a rematch, but in doubles? with the trends we've been seeing lately? idk. the hail last week maybe gave umbry some confidence that she won't get tripped up by something like that again. still, giving tenzai a very slight edge here. i think this is gonna be the one that decides the series.
