As the title states, I want to see who your picks for Nationals are! 1A - GENTRY STEIN!!! 2A - Grant Johnson 3A - Patrick Borgerding 4A - Ben Conde 5A - Tyler Severence All the guys are also my favorite players in each style…LOL. EDIT: I just learned that Grant isn’t even participating (or actually DIDN’T even participate…awards should be happening as I type this, LOL)…I guess my 2A pick is now Joseph Harris. ---

I always root for Zach Gormley in every 1a contest so my choice is Zach Gormley for 1a. As for the other divisions I have no preference. ---

What about Michael Ferdico? That guy has some top tier tricks that could contend for the National 1A title. 1A Zach and Gentry could be duking out for 1st again. Eric Tran-Ton was killin’ it at worlds. I can see him placing top 5… 3A is a toss up between Pat Borgerding and Eric Tran-Ton 4A I’m thinking Michael Nakamura and Bryan Figueroa 2A other than Grant Johnson, I don’t know who else is competing. ---

I’m thinking it’s gonna be Zach or Eric Tranton (is it Tranton or Tran-Ton? I see it spelled both ways all the time and I’m never sure…) for 1A. Sebby, Isaac, or maybe Andrew Maider could possibly pull something out, too. For 2A, I’m going with Grant. I think he’s definitely going big in 2A this year and I think he’ll be bringing his best. 3A, Either Pat Borgerding or Eric Tranton/Tran-Ton. If Hank’s back (but I doubt he will be), than my bet is that it’s going to be him, though. 4A, I think Bryan will take it again, but Michael Nakamura definitely could and has the potential (I think we all know he has the talent after winning Worlds). 5A, it’s probably staying with Tyler Severance again. ---

I definitely don’t think that Zach will repeat (That doesn’t really happen often). He has the capability of winning but I think Gentry has the momentum on his side. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/who-are-your-picks-for-nationals/59684.md?page=2)
