2. SoulWind (SM, ORAS) vs. 3. Giannis Antetokommo-o (SS): I think giannis is fantastic. He looked really impressive last round, much like he does during the regular season. Good team choices, very consistent play, as simple as that. Even though he has seemingly shed some of his issues that were present in that set vs juuls, he still doesn't seem the most confident in his SM and ORAS. SoulWind is one of the best players around in these two tiers, so this might be tough. He's on a similar skill level as BKC, but I would say he is more on top of his game lately. I think he will have better teamchoices than what BKC brought last round, and knowing SW, he will probably be more willing to pull the trigger. I think this will be a close one, but ultimately I'm just favoring SW on the basis of him being more experienced in SM and ORAS. Giannis is a great player and I could definitely see him taking this if he plays and preps like he did last round...
