I really hope all of those matches
m2dave listed are streamed. I know they probably all won't be but there are so many good fights in there. So now that we have more specifics, let's try to make predictions on those matches we know are happening tonight.
Maxter vs. B-W1zZ: Vote goes to Maxter. He has always been consistent in his awesome game play. B-W1zZ showed some cool combos but also wouldn't stop jumping in his match with Jer. That strategy will not fly against Maxter.
W1nter Warz vs. KH Scar: Vote goes to W1nter Warz. Both players have really made a name for themselves recently and I think they are both great but W1nter Warz has also been training with VSM and I don't think a rush down Freddy is going to stop that Cyrax damage.
CD Sr. vs. Gross: Vote goes to CD Sr. It is great that we have more international players coming out and I won't try to take away from his victory against PL but CD Sr. has played out the Sektor matchup many times. I'll just say I usually root for the underdog for excitement but that doesn't mean I'd bet on them winning.
GGA Han vs. GGA Osu 16 Bit: Vote goes to GGA 16 bit. I play with both of these guys every week and they are both top notch players. HAN has leveled up a ton recently as we all saw with his Reptile at Seasons Beatings. However last week they had a run back of that match at Fright Fight at GGA and 16 bit took it. Overall I think the more tournament experience helps 16 bit play 100% on his game in tourney, something I think HAN is still mastering. Either one that wins I'll be both happy and upset because I'm rooting for them both and really was upset that they were so close in the bracket.
WoundCowboy vs. Showtime: Vote goes to Showtime. This might be the hardest call of the this set. Both are great players but Showtime has already proven he can steel his tournament nerves and win. WoundCowboy is a great player and it always awesome to see character loyalists but I feel like Showtime still has a slight edge on him.
GGA Dizzy vs. Madzin: Vote goes to GGA Dizzy. No doubt I'm biased on this one as I play Dizzy every week and have only seen Madzin in a few clips of the online tourney. That said no one can argue that Dizzy hasn't leveled up a lot recently. He defeated what are arguably the top 1 and 2 MK players, Perfect Legend and CD Jr, at the same tournament recently. In addition no matter how skilled Madzin is if he doesn't know the specifics of how to get out of Cage pressure and all the variations of that pressure it will be an extremely hard uphill battle.
GamerBlake vs. Tyrant: Vote goes to Tyrant. This is another case where I want the person I'm voting for to lose but I don't think they will. Nothing against Tyrant, he is a great player, but I think GamerBlake has done so much for this community it would be great to see him win this hype match. That said Tyrant has gotten better every tournament he has come out to. His Jax sometimes looks like a very mobile Kenshi, a fortress of armor and punishes.
TylerLantern vs. Krayzie Bone: Vote goes to Krayzie Bone. Both are great players that have done a lot to help their own scenes as well as the community as a whole. Tyler has definitely shut up any critics that said he is just a combo video/online player with his recent tournament success. However Krayzie has also shown he will keep leveling up with that yellow bastard we call call Cyrax.
So many great matches to watch, can't wait.
