Hi again,
The games didnt go as i expected, even tho I got most of the winners right.
LocKtar was sure doing a show for the spectators, but it almost cost him the game.
The 1/8-finals are over.
Correct winner: 6 / 7
Correct match results: 2 / 7
Quarter-Finals:
[1]
ParadokS vs
reppie 2-0
The true final in dm6mania. Reppie's chaotic style we know from aerowalk doesn't fit very well on dm6, where it is much more important to take the right battles, and stay out of the bad ones. We might see some true CS in this match up as i think the players are evenly matched. Actually i hope for low scores and tight games. The statistics is on your side Para.

Gamer vs
ass 2-1
After beating
eh in two straight maps, ass will have a good chance in this game. Gamer has to be careful here,
lakso certainly proved that there is a way around Gamer's LG.

griffin vs
marklar 1-2
griffin barely won the last round, while fifi won 2-0. I dont expect fifis aggressive style will work to well against a tactical player like griffin.
But when an old school player like fifi is given the chance to beat one of the two "retired" duel-legends, he will take the chance. It's like getting the chance to wrestle
A.Karelin in 98. Sure, he might not be as good as he once was, but a victory vs griffin or dag is worth more than winning this whole tournament. At least for those who been in this game long enough.

LocKtar vs
cge 2-0
This game is just as hard as the others to predict. Feels like im just throwing random guesses. According to rumours on the internet, cage is very nervous during tournament games.
You could say the opposite about LocKtar, that was acting as the clown of the dark zone in overtime vs mushi. Doing all kind of tricks and careless moves, one could just ask:
is he really in control? I think he is.
Is he playing seriously in this competition? I doubt it!
