IMO it would be more interesting to see everyone's full predictions after the RO8 has concluded. I literally had a text document making some notes throughout each series 11... and at that point some of my predictions were roughly
Sancho as Liereyy 85% sure
William MBL 95%
Alaric Yo 80%
Joan Maid Max & Tatoh 45% each
But after watching the semis & final it became 100% obvious that Viper was Saladin so for instance I was able to rethink the Alaric vs Saladin QF which was fairly close and had that incredibly close JApanese mirror, so then I was 95% sure Alaric had to have been Yo.
As for Viper being Saladin. I also thought it had to be him with the elite battle elephant finishing move in his very first game, but he definitely threw me off the scent after that until the semis. It's actually scary remembering how good Khan/Hera played throughout the tournament and then how Viper was able to go up a level to make even him look ordinary. Haven't seen Viper play that ruthless since against Liereyy in NAC2 and KoTD1, incredible stuff. Also really impressed with DauT and dogao this tournament.
