Hoping for UWaterloo or SFU.

Shame about UOIT.

Waterloo certainly has a great shot.

UOIT did well, they had a chance but barely came up short. If Jason was more comfortable with taking it to lategame, he might have been able to win against Suppy.

The last match of the Round of 16 will be the closest one yet: Washington vs Chicago!

University of Washington (7-1) has a lot of history in the CSL, culminating in a championship in the 2014-2015 season. However, they have not been able to replicate their success since then, likely due to the graduation of their former ace player, CSL all-time-great KawaiiRice. In the past two years, they have had trouble against high-powered teams like Temple and Waterloo who have eliminated them from the playoffs.
Washington has had a great season so far, mainly due to their up-and-coming freshman, LambSauce (Z). LambSauce has a 12-1 map score this season, including a win against Chicago's ace player, omgabanana (P). Due to LambSauce's amazing play, Washington was able to defeat Chicago 3-0 earlier this season.
Washington also benefits from having veteran players Zeal (P) and GarageDoor (T), who were both part of the 2015 championship team. Zeal is a former WCS player who will still be relied on to be the ace player, while GarageDoor is an experienced 2v2 veteran who provides stability to that matchup.
University of Chicago (4-4) is a great team, but they have not had a great season because of certain poor decisions with their lineups in previous matches. Because of this, they are facing a tough opponent in the first round.
Chicago has an advantage in omgabanana (P), who is most likely the best player in this series. However, the lineup draw has been terrible for Chicago: omgabanana will face the weakest player on the other team, and Chicago is in danger of dropping all three of the maps where omgabanana is not playing.
The most important set will be map 1, where LambSauce will try to start things off with a win against Teletubby (T). Although LambSauce looks stronger, a well-prepared strategy by Teletubby could shift the series into Chicago's favour.
Prediction: Washington 3-1 Chicago.
