This I think is the first year that there is a possibility of a multi-division world champion (Takeshi Matsuura). 1a: Janos Karancz 2a: Shu Takada 3a: Hank Freeman 4a: Rei Iwakura 5a: Takeshi Matsuura ---

Finals Seeds: 1A: Ahmad Kharisma(AP), Carlos Braun(EYYC), and Janos Karancz(Worlds) 2A: Shinji Saito(AP), Dave Geigle(EYYC), Takuma Yamamoto(Worlds) 3A: Hajime Miura(AP), Michael Jasko(EYYC), Hank Freeman(Worlds) 4A: Jeon Ji-Hwan(AP), Quentin Godet(EYYC), Michael Nakamura(Worlds) 5A: Jaued Cervas(AP), David Molnar(EYYC), Takeshi Matsuura(Worlds) Keep in mind not all of them will be competing at worlds (Ji-Hwan and Cervas might not?) People that might wreck the competition: 1A: Takeshi Matsuura, Janos Karancz, Iori Yamaki, Paul Kerbel, Christopher Chia, and Hiroyuki Suzuki 2A: Shinji Saito, Shu Takada, and Takuma Yamamoto 3A: Hajime Miura, Patrick Borgerding, Hank Freeman 4A: Rei Iwakura, Michael Nakamura, and Quentin Godet 5A: Takeshi Matsuura, David Molnar, and Takuma Inoue Women’s: Ann Connolly, Nuu Gatowsky, and Corli Du Toit My Picks: 1A: Janos Karancz, but Takeshi has a chance to be the first to win in 2 divisions at Worlds. 2A: Shinji Saito will return as the 2A God 3A: Tie between Hajime Miura and Patrick Borgerding 4A: Quentin Godet 5A: I hope Takeshi Matsuura wins. Inoue might come close though Women’s: Maybe Corli Du Toit or Ann Connolly. I hope Tasya Ganihina competes. ---

Hajime is a definite top three, but there is no way Pat-B will beat Hank. Last year Hank beat him by like ten points, and that was one of Pat’s cleanest freestyles. It could happen if Hank loses his only pair of yoyos though. 4A: Quentin will have to beat All of Japan and the US. I think he could easily mess up badly. I think he gets most of his hype from how intense he looks on stage. He makes his tricks look harder than they are. I think Rei is gonna win this year. ---

2A Shinji, still think he is clearly above all his rivals. 3A Hank if he go clean, Hajime will be second waiting for Hank’s misstakes. 4A pretty close, since in 4A anything can happend. Still my favorite is Iwakura. 5A depends on how much will Takeshi devote to 1A, but I think even medicore freestyle from Takeshi is enough to win. 1A is mystery and there is ton of favorites. I think Janosz can win only if he go clean as his EYYC 2013 freestyle(much cleaner than last years worlds) and if he improve on his performance score, which is really low. Takeshi is my secret favorite, his tricks are great and he knows how to prepare freestyle to win worlds. > [@kadabrium](#): > > Is Wong Chakwing coming to 3A this year? He didnt register yet. ---
