The fuck

[Zyxel]

Here are all my picks! Entirely based on intuition.

- goose64
- waszabii
- CryoJester

- _DJ Vinyl_
- that.one.animatronic
- Toxicity783

- Smokey Demons
- aidan9030
- DJSuperNOVA

- ZYXEL SWEEP BABY, WE GOING FOR GOLD ON THIS ONE
- botchi246
- basicdrummerman

- MUIEN SWEEP MUEIN SWEEP, FRANK MUNOZ #1 LETS GOOOO
- Hakulyte
- Davix150

(note: this bracket, as well as the following brackets feel impossible for me to pick a top 3 since i feel like the competition is so close and so fierce that anyone can take those top three positions. im looking forward to seeing how these groups will perform throughout the tourney!)

- E-B-E
- ToonE156
- Eppu

- Newson
- Zoobin
- Matthia

Really fun looking brackets ahead! No clue how these groups will perform but that will make spectating all the more fun. Throwing in a bonus: I'll be giving out 5k credits per correct top 3 finalist-- up to a total of 35k credits per person! Good luck everyone!

(guesses are due before round 3 ends!)

[Frank Munoz]

gonna rate these (randomly chosen) favs,
and their most likely(also randomly chosen) demise

B1:
Devonin

-Top 8-/6th

Devonin has shown a consistent skill level for the past ..20 years!
His 2nd place run in OT14 shows he has a drive for victory

B2:
Black_Shield

-Top 12-/10th

Black_Shield has achieved top 8 twice in two OTs while also steadily progressing each division.
Consistant playing is bound to bring progress, and Black_Shield definitely has the heart for it.

B3:
Smokey Demons

-Top 5-/5th

Fresh out of a hiatus and trying harder than ever, Smokey Demons also has a new computer that help FFR run smoother than ever too!

Bracket 4:
1st
ZYXEL SWEEP BABY
TheFFRPerson
excluding kjwkjw's 97.91, this FFRer has a higher AAA equiv than all of B5 (97.55)
AND a 93 AAA!! WOW!
2nd
Zyxel
3rd
botchi246

Bracket 5:
1st
MUEIN SWEEP
Frank Munoz
places 1st in every tournament he's participated in.
1st place D5-OT 7; 1st place D3(highest division) Dossar's Mega mini brutality tournaments 3 & 4;
tied 3rd highest AAA equiv in B5 (96.24), AND scores exponentially better with harder files(Rank 28 HFF); once he derusts
A true masher
2nd
mrpreggers
(if he ever plays the file)
3rd
Psycast

Bracket 6:
1st
Deamerai
(if recovers past the first round)
Consistent sdgs on files lvl 100+; multiple lvl100 AAAs
Deams a beast
2nd
_Zenith_
3rd
Catlover3141592

Bracket 7:
1st
Everyone is a winner

1:
Spiral sweep baby!!!
1: DevPlayzz
2:TristanJacob9
3:Newson

[_DJ Vinyl_]

In my bracket I think Black_Shield, Toxicity and me will be in the finals for my bracket at least, but Beagereaver or that.one.animatronic look pretty strong as well

[Setsuwa]

i think i will win

[Lights]

Bracket 1: Devonin

Bracket 2: Black Shield

Bracket 3: Snow Lucario

Bracket 4: Lights

Bracket 5: Zlyice

Bracket 6: jh05013

Bracket 7: Matthia

Well these were my previous predictions for OT18 B3: https://www.flashflashrevolution.com...6&postcount=38

Yep, this bracket is actually infinitely difficult to predict to the point I wish to go back to 2020 so I can look all amazing predicting OWC again. (https://pickem.hwc.hr/tournaments/47/leaderboard)

Anyways, I'm going to update my guesses here:

Top 8 guesses

8th: SnowLucario (idk how but I believe in myself)
7th: Sweet_Feet (no longer washed up, he's making top 8 first time this year trust)
6th: aidan9030 (I think this is the only top 8 slot I had the same as last time)
5th: Laplace (I get they're currently on the edge of the pp water in R2 but Day 7 Laplace is probably the strongest competitor in this bracket)
4th: PGS (Might be higher, this feels like an underrate solely on profile)
3rd: Azhina (Top 8 in G4 last year and is absolutely very much a frontrunner this year)
2nd: Gabbangelion (He won G3 last year. Do I have to say more)
1st: Smokey Demons (I believe in the improvement arc)

Honourable Mentions is pretty much everyone I didn't put in top 8 guesses, round 2 is already ridiculously competitive


Oh and also in no particular order B2 Top 3 will be Beagereaver, Black_Shield, and Toxicity783.
