What is everyone's predictions for the top 8 seeds for Ultimate at Genesis?
While this year's Genesis is the smallest in terms of total attendance, it is definitely up there as one of the most stacked, top-heavy events in Ultimate history. As such, I thought it would be interesting to predict the top 8 seeds for the tournament, especially since 9 of the LumiRank Top 10 are in attendance and players like Hurt and Snow have been performing very well as of recent.
My prediction would be:
- Sparg0
- acola
- Sonix
- Miya
- Tweek
- Hurt
- Light
- Shuton
I think that each seed in the top 8 will alternate between an NA and a JP player (primarily to avoid as many regional conflicts as possible.)
Even though Hurt and Shuton have had incredible starts to the season (probably the two best in terms of Japanese players), I am pretty confident that they will still seed the two below acola and Miya (acola has had a comparatively great start, and Miya won the most recent supermajor.) In a similar vein, Tweek has had a more significant start to his season than Sonix, but I am pretty sure that Sonix will still be seeded above due to expectation/legacy bias.
