With the ESL MKX Season 1 Pro League Finals coming up shortly, I think some predictions are in order! Do you think there will be some upsets? Will the favorites do well like always? What ever predictions you want to post, feel free to do so!

At first I had a top 8 I felt were the best players. After reviewing the bracket, they couldn't possibly all be in the top 8 based on their path in the bracket. I already posted my predictions in the other thread, but anyway, with that said, here is my predictions!



Top 8 Winners/Losers

Winners:
- Pig of The Hut vs Crawling Shadow (Pig wins in a surprisingly close set)
- YOMI REO vs EVB Big D (REO wins convincingly)

Losers:
- Madzin vs Perfect Legend (PL wins in a hype back and forth slugfest)
- SonicFox vs a F0xy Grampa (SonicFox wins)

Losers continued:
- PL vs Big D (PL's momentum is too much for Big D after Big D was beaten down by REO, PL wins)
- Sonic Fox vs Crawling Shadow (SonicFox bops Crawling Shadow and chat blows up)

Losers semi-finals:
- PL vs SonicFox (SonicFox wins and PL gets blown up in chat and twitter even though he got top 4)

Winners Finals:
- REO vs Pig (Close but REO wins, Pig gets super emo for a second, but then smells blood)

Losers Finals:
- SonicFox vs Pig (Epic EVO runback that is hype and Pig ends up winning last round last match, someone dies from the hype in the crowd)

Grand Finals:
- REO vs Pig (Pig rides his wave of momentum and edges REO out in the Grand Finals, the hype will last for years to come. Songs will be sung of the great blind samurai whose moniker is a Pig, that defeated the evil doers. He fought for America, he fought for honor, he fought for all of those who can't fight. He's our hero, he is, the PIg of The HUT!)


Final Results (Prediction):

1. @Pig Of The Hut
2. @YOMI REO
3. @SonicFox5000
4. @Perfect Legend
5. @Big D
5. @Crawlingshadow
7. @Madzin
7. @A F0xy Grampa
