Paniola Phiones (4) vs. Victorious Victinis (4)
USUM: Paleo vs. Croven (Paleo is one of my most favorite players to watch in Monotype. Very diverse and smart who never gives up. I have not personally seen Croven play since the last MPL he joined... probably MPL 2? Not too sure.)
USUM: dodmen vs. Vid (Neither of these players are who I watch often so this will be interesting for me, personally. I only chose Vid because he is a seasoned Monotype player while dodmen, a skillful UU player that he is, may lack experience which ultimately gives vid the upper hand.)
USUM: -Tsunami- vs. Its Hatch (Tsunami, or Shake, has gained a good amount of experience in this metagame thanks to the Aero's usually electing to give him the bo3 spot while not doing that bad of a job. I have not seen too many of Hatch's matches but he does not lack experience and that's for sure.)
LC: HT vs. Nineage (Nineage, in my opinion, has both the metagame and Monotype experience over HT. From what I remember, HT only played one, if not two, matches last MPL so we shall see how he does this go around.)
Ubers: Garay oak vs. double switches (I never watched these two players. I am giving it to double switches because he is apart of WoA.)
AAA: trash vs. Level 56 (I've seen Level 56 play in other tournaments and I enjoy their play. He/She might lack Monotype experience but trash may have the same hindrance.)
STABmons: ggggd vs. Twix (Coin flipped this one.)
Monothreat: Nat. vs. SirSkit (SirSkit's main type used back in the day was Rock so I'm sure he knows what it can and can not do. He also sounds really motivated for Monothreat this go around because he got ample practice last MPL. Should be a good watch.)
Alcoholic Alakazams (5) vs. Tormented Torkoals (3)
USUM: rnbs vs. Arifeen (HL match for sure. I chose rnbs only because Arifeen has been more M.I.A in Monotype than rnbs has and I know how god-like thorn's teams are from last MPL.)
USUM: Pearl vs. Leru (Good performance last season and Leru keeps changing his alts so I do not know when I have watched his matches for an accurate reading on his gameplans.)
USUM: Void vs. Attribute (Another match that comes down to Monotype experience for me. Void showed in the past he can win with his lack of metagame experience but Attribute is a solid player nonetheless.)
LC: obii vs. qwily (Who is qwily? Sorry, but I never heard of you and obii is a very skillful player.)
Ubers: Thimo vs. MiyoKa (Two friends I have not seen in a while. Another coin flip for me.)
AAA: rozes vs. Megazard (ONLY reason I chose Megazard over Rozes is because Megazard beat me in MPL 2 and I beat Rozes in MPL3. Yes, I know that has little relevance.)
STABmons: KratosMana vs. Quantum Tesseract (Anti seems solid whatever he/she plays. QT has a lot of OM experience as well as Mono experience but I'm sure Anti will adjust swimmingly.)
Monothreat: Nightwingg95 vs. Torkool (Both close friends. Hard to choose but I went for experience and game knowledge over Nightwingg's hectic schedule. Will be a good match.)
Canalave City Chorizos (4) vs. Raikou Railguns (4)
USUM: Sabella vs. Pak (Same position as dodmen vs. Vid. Mark, Sabella, has the metagame experience and is also a skillful battler while all I know about Pak is that he is a strong UU player.)
USUM: Lotus Wincon vs. Waszap (I'm not a fan of Wincon's and I feel that Waszap is a better player overall. I am interested in seeing what both these players have for one another)
USUM: Christo vs. Sae (This will be close. Sae knows Monotype but has been inactive while Christo is not as well versed but presumably has been more active. Tough call but had to go with my friend Sae on this one.)
LC: soulgazer vs. Seo. (Soulgazer has the skill and the MPL 3 experience. His lack of time is a big hindrance but Clumm may have his nerves working against him.)
Ubers: Star vs. Jase Duken (Not familiar with either but I think Star's skill is of high caliber so it is hard to say otherwise considering I hardly know Jase Duken.)
AAA: 1 True Lycan vs. Yaksok (HL match for sure. Yaksok did not have the best MPL 3 run but now he is in his element, being AAA. I am a big fan of both so I am very excited to watch this one!)
STABmons: King Billu vs. Haakunite (I've seen Billu in a few room tournaments and he seemed to do fine. I am completely in the black with Haaku though. Both are frequent users to the Mono room so experience should not be too impactful in this matchup.)
Monothreat: EricSaysHi vs. Misaka Mikoto (Eric is rusty and is not as creative as Misaka. I am curious to see how Eric adapts to the new Monothreat metagame after a long absence.)
Dethroning Decidueyes (3) vs. Lavender Lycanrocs (5)
USUM: Eien vs. Zukushiku (Noooo.... Eien vs Rossy is going to be nothing but a spectactle. Rossy, or Zukushiku, has the uper hand, in my opinion, because he is a very strong battler although he does not have as much metagame experience as Tier co-leader Eien. I have to admit this was a biased decision but should be down to the wire nonetheless.)
USUM: Bushtush vs. terrors (I can see Bush wanting some revenge after the 12-0 that people continually referrance. Bush also has more experience with this type of pressure so he is more likely to not slip up compared to terrors.)
USUM: pork chop man vs. Clearly (Clearly clearly has the advantage. Ha.. ha.. On a serious note, Clearly has the metagame knowledge although is a solid player overall.)
LC: Kingler12345 vs. Jyph (I have heard Kingler is a strong LC player and I never saw Jyph play LC. Will be interesting for sure.)
Ubers: Catalystic vs. Anttya (Ant>All.)
AAA: Laxpras vs. Azelea (Laxpras is a solid OM player from what I saw during MPL 2. Azelea took a hiatus last season of MPL so he might be a bit rusty.)
STABmons: Betathunder vs. Racool (Personal experience with these two are low. I've only seen Racool play and even then she did not show me too much.)
Monothreat: Mael vs. KevinELF (Who is Mael? Sorry, but I have to go Kevin on this one.)
