Alright, so it is about that time, who do you have taking the Cup home this year? I think Stodd will take first and Tosta second, who wants to throw out some predictions. I can only begin to guess who will take Freestyle.
Hellz yea man. Stodd is a good pick. I think Jake Fischer has a good chance too if he is participating. Krom has a stacked team.
If Jake has a hot hand he could definitely take it but I say Stodd because I haven't heard from him a lot on Social Media and I think he is madcore practicing to take the Cup.
Tough call this year... some of the young JKA shredders are being allowed to enter the contest this year I think, so they'll likely be honed AF and gunning for the top spot. Bryson will be back for more I'm sure, and some of the other young guns like Logan, Dwesty, or Nobunori. I've heard a lot of the Sweest crew is coming too... lets not forget Lukas Funk! He's due to win at this point, probably more than anyone else. George Marshall isn't far behind either, at least in the past contests.
Liad is an outside shot(never seen what he is capable of), of the japanese shredders I would have to choose So Kanada, Bryson Lee has to be up there, and I would say Logan/Dwest as well.
A lot of support for Liad, while i'd like to see where he goes in the future, i don't think he'll take the title this year. The stage can prove to be a very frightful place, even in the hands of experienced players. Performing on cam is one thing, and getting on the stage is a whole 'nother beast.
Yea, I'm interested to see how he does in person! I've seen some kids who SLAY in front of a cam, but when the time comes to perform on command, they have a hard time delivering. Kendama is hard on stage! haha
I really think the Gallaghers might come out super strong this year. They're older now and have won a lot of competitions stateside and proven they have what it takes on stage. They just need to be able to do it in the KWC format. I honestly hadn't thought of them until you posted this but the more I think about it, I think they are VERY strong contenders.
I’m gonna go all in and say that no Westerner will lift the trophy this year. Putting all my hope on the Japanese.
