#1 DugZa vs #16 outbackrabbit : I'm rooting for wadley to come out alive of the AUS showdown. Despite this being 1st vs 16th seed I don't see this as a free win for Dugza.
#2 Elias PSY vs #15 Pokeslice : Slice plot armor
#3 Axrtix vs #14 OranBerryBlissey10 : Axrtix has been getting more tour experience and is a pretty good builder and player for NU
#4 eifo vs #13 etern : etern is good at the game and controls the tiering. probably uses the broken stuff he DNBs
#5 Danny vs #12 Phantomistix : :eeveehide:
#6 kythr vs #11 GXE : GXE plays really well and when he's building/testing, he really pushes meta development
#7 Tuthur vs #10 avarice : Tuthur's coming off the SSNL win and keep that momentum going.
#8 Medeia vs #9 zS : zS does particularly well in early meta's where stuff is still being figured out. He finds niche options that are good, like Floatzel....
 
outbackrabbit vs zS: Two of the most creative builders in nu, will be a fun one to watch. I think zS is a slight favorite but it can go either way.

Danny vs eifo: Danny has better knowledge of the game imo and is more willing to experiment with his teams which should give him an edge in a very unstable metagame.

OranBerryBlissey10 vs kythr: OBB is more in tune with the tier but kythr is a very solid, consistent player. If kythr has the right support he can easily take this.

Tuthur vs Pokeslice: The script writers told me the slice plot armor has not worn off yet.
