It's a new Regional season, and it's time for a new predictions competition. Unlike last year, we're guessing who will be the Most Improved player by rating after the Regional. Just like previous years, the winner will get an Ambassador Foil, guesses need to be made before the day of the event, and non-Regional events during Regional season will be used as a tiebreaker.

North American Continental Championships: Atlanta, GA
Last Year's Attendance: 14 Players
Last Year's Winner: Kenneth Tufts
Preregistered This Year: Michael Van Breemen (1982), Kris Sonsteby (1928), Nic Brautigam (1779), Jon Carter (1761), Greg Hodgin (1752), Lucas Thompson (1749), Nathan Miracle (1736), Maggie Geppert (1734), Eric Robinett (1715), John Corbett (1656), Michael Shea (1641), Will Raiman (1616), Scott Baughman (1613), Austin Chandler (1595), Matt S (1592), Adam Brautigam (1576), Mike Gillespie (1572), Laney Farmer (1549), blinkgotti (1500), Charlie Plaine (1489), Keith Gibson (1481), 0phiophagus (1452), Cameron Corbett (1441), Michael Parrish (1417), Connor Corbett (1376), Rachel Lewis (1372), Ross Fertel (1362), Brandy Corbett (1345)
My Prediction: Picking Greg Hodgin has let me down a few times now, but that just means his rating is lower than it should be. I think that'll change.

South African Regional: Cape Town, South Africa
Last Year's Attendance: 9 Players
Last Year's Winner: Markus Glatz
Preregistered This Year: Fritz Meissner (1526), Owenswart (1510)
My Prediction: Fritz knows what's good for business, and is good at not beating up on the locals. On average though, I still feel like he's the most reliable pick

European Continental Championships: Manchester, UK
Last Year's Attendance: 14 Players
Last Year's Winner: Stefan Slaby
Preregistered This Year: Stefan Slaby (1891), Stuart Motley (1711), Nicholas Yankovec (1701), Josef Lemberger (1679), Andrew Mark Alcock (1622), Daniel Giddings (1581)
My Prediction: Stefan has been upset a couple times recently - it's unlikely to happen again, but maybe this is Nick's time to shine.

Corbett sub-1700 is Big Rat upside.

Fritz, because I don't know anybody else.

I'm not sure he'll win the event, but I like what Josef Limberger has done so far this year and there's enough ratings points above him that I like the upside.

Yes, but I'm betting everybody playing in the event will lose rating points, so your +0 will be the highest! (I kid, of course.)

Samwise aka Liam is definitely not coming to my regional on Saturday due to work. Unless he's playing some serious mind games and surprise us all with his international discord coaching.
