Latin America (5) vs (3) US West
SV DOU: Meminger21 vs eragon11145 - Biggest match up of entire semis for me, 2 goats but I gotta stan Meminger. Latam teams have all been really solid while I feel Eragon can sometimes turn on the heat just a smidge too high.
SV DOU: Enzonana. vs EternalSnowman - I'm not gonna count out EL NANA but ESM has been pretty goated this DWCOP.
SV DOU: Ann vs z0mOG - Another very hype matchup, bolding Ann here she has been playing some of the cleanest DOU I've seen lately.
SV DOU: Akaru Kokuyo vs KeanuGrindingArc - I just feel like Akaru is the better player here + I feel like Keanu has a teamstyle that is more likely than anyone else on west to get pinned down. (Cannot verify these claims by re-checking replays just trust me bro).
SV DOU: papiloco vs Lemurro - Close matchup, I trust Latam teams for papiloco to pilot while Lemurro didn't look top form in pools.
SV DOU: luisin vs jonas - luisin cooked in pools while jonas left some stuff on the table. By no means a shoe-in, could def see jonas winning this.
SV DOU: oh the guilt vs fespy - Not gonna lie this is a bolding the name I know moment. But when that name is fespy you don't feel bad about it.
SV DOU: GasaiYunoSan vs Smudge - Another close matchup but I'm going Smudge here, I'm feeling like full power Smudge is gonna be released and even I'm not ready.

Europe (5) vs (3) India
SV DOU: Hugo vs tyo - On top of being cracked at the game, tyo engages in the extremely broken strategy of stealing from VGC. Also not a huge fan of the types of teams Hugo is known for.
SV DOU: Tenzai vs SHIMA - I have been very impressed SHIMA whenever I've seen them play post-DLC while Tenzai's games have been a bit shakey.
SV DOU: MichaelderBeste2 vs Nido-Rus - I'm bolding Nido against anyone tbh.
SV DOU: SMB vs AIRedzone - SMB usually brings good teams and hardly ever plays bad, AIRedzone hasn't played their best this DWCOP so its a tough matchup here.
SV DOU: JRL vs InkVGC - JRL! JRL! JRL! Playing great right now and just hard to bold anyone against them.
SV DOU: Fran vs Opelucid - Frania is now in his prime, have to bold. Also just haven't seen enough from Opelucid yet.
SV DOU: Yoda2798 vs Loudwinner - Loudwinner has actually been pretty impressive and I wouldn't be suprised if they took the win here as Yoda hasn't looked quite as dominant in post-DLC DOU but still have to go with Yoda here.
SV DOU: Voltix vs sundays - Was suprised to see Voltix represent Europe in tiebreaks but they ended up making it through and are generally just Good At Pokemon so they get the bold here.

Latin America (4) vs (4) US West
SV DOU: Meminger21 vs eragon11145 : standard pokemon against highly volatile teambuilding
SV DOU: Enzonana. vs EternalSnowman : I'm a bit biased against Enzonana in my predicts because I remember last year's Arboliva team yet I still think ESM wins here.
SV DOU: Ann vs z0mOG : Same reasoning as bage1, Ann is performing well right now
SV DOU: Akaru Kokuyo vs KeanuGrindingArc : Keanu's going into someone's who's gonna click the best possible moves every turn
SV DOU: papiloco vs Lemurro : Lemurro takes this but it's also personal bias
SV DOU: luisin vs jonas : very close matchup, the team pick will be decisive.
SV DOU: oh the guilt vs fespy : fespy is favored here
SV DOU: GasaiYunoSan vs Smudge : Gasai win if they convince her to not bring weakness policy chiyu

Europe (6) vs (2) India
SV DOU: Hugo vs tyo : I think VGC teams don't perform as well in DOU but tyo is an excellent player and Hugo has very-well known teambuilding habits.
SV DOU: Tenzai vs SHIMA : Tenzai is favored
SV DOU: MichaelderBeste2 vs Nido-Rus : Seasonals winner momentum
SV DOU: SMB vs AIRedzone : one-sided matchup
SV DOU: JRL vs InkVGC : our protagonist is coming for the win
SV DOU: Fran vs Opelucid : Fran told me he'd win
SV DOU: Yoda2798 vs Loudwinner : Loudwinner has a very good recent track record but I'm not going to vote against the player going in 1st seed in invitationals.
SV DOU: Voltix vs sundays : My best here is on Voltix, good player and master RNG manipulator

Latin America (4) vs (2) US West
SV DOU: Meminger21 vs eragon11145 - everyone is bolding vs eragon but I have faith in my guy
SV DOU: Enzonana. vs EternalSnowman - tbh idk
SV DOU: Ann vs z0mOG - Ann has just been doing very well this tour and I think you'll need a lot to beat her
SV DOU: Akaru Kokuyo vs KeanuGrindingArc - if you want to be bolded vs Akaru you really need to be a top 5 player or have won a big solo tour in the past 2 months for me to bold you instead
SV DOU: papiloco vs Lemurro - I think this is gonna be a really close game but I think papiloco is slightly favoured here but idk, it could go eitherway
SV DOU: luisin vs jonas - again a very close match and I don't know enough about these 2 to say that X is gonna win from Y
SV DOU: oh the guilt vs fespy - I never want to count someone out but to me it seems fespy should have this
SV DOU: GasaiYunoSan vs Smudge - Gasai has preformed better so far

Europe (7) vs (1) India
SV DOU: Hugo vs tyo - look mons is mons so everything can happen but tbh I think tyo has this, besides this is my 3rd tier and I believe this is Tyo's 2nd tier so by that logic he should win
SV DOU: Tenzai vs SHIMA - I
SV DOU: MichaelderBeste2 vs Nido-Rus - Know
SV DOU: SMB vs AIRedzone - E
SV DOU: JRL vs InkVGC - U
SV DOU: Fran vs Opelucid - Is
SV DOU: Yoda2798 vs Loudwinner - Gonna
SV DOU: Voltix vs sundays - Win

Honestly think this series can go either way (and I'll explain why below) but I think Europe is favored on paper. If every match goes the way it should based on , these are the results I would expect:
Hugo vs tyo - I feel like tyo just tends to put a lot more effort in, and he's the captain. I expect him to show up big here in the most important week for his team yet.
Tenzai vs SHIMA - This one is probably the highest upset potential of the series, but it depends which Tenzai shows up. Will the one that handed Xrn his only loss in SCL come around? SHIMA is a pretty good player as bagel said, so there's room to do it, if Tenzai is not completely dialed in.
MichaelderBeste2 vs Nido-Rus - Nido has looked fucking incredible since OSDT (honestly don't remember much before it, pre-home was wack), the player of the gen in my eyes. Against anyone else I'd probably bold MDB, but this might be a big ask of a non mainer, even as good as he is at everything else.
SMB vs AIRedzone - enough has been said about this matchup in this thread
JRL vs InkVGC - I've been very impressed with Ink's adaptation to DOU, but JRL is a tall order. Very excited to watch this match regardless, might be the highlight match of this series.
Fran vs Opelucid - I don't have insight to the Islanders server, however based on my time with Fran in Derby he has a great mind for SV. I am unfamiliar with Opelucid's game though, so perhaps I'm in for a surprise.
Yoda2798 vs Loudwinner - Eragon tells me Loudwinner is a rising talent, but Yoda has been performing well all year, so my inclination is to bold Yoda.
Voltix vs sundays - Don't have much to say about this, but I think Voltix is at least slightly favored based on current performances.
