GuiBarros comes in battle-hardened and confident: a 4–1 over Fakhr999 in the Round of 16 and a 6–5 shootout vs Tekkz in the quarters after winning Group H (7–3 Giobundyy, 3–1 jafonso). That’s 20 goals for, 10 against across those four wins, with a knack for late, high-leverage conversions.
Manu’s baseline is rock-solid and less volatile—Group F was a statement (5–4 ChrisdeBoer, 10–3 Rampazzo) and he edged Jonny 3–2 in quarters. If Gui drags this into a sprint it levels things; if Manu controls tempo and denies cut-backs, his cleaner possession wins out.

Levi’s résumé this week is elite: survived the F group LB, then knocked out EmreYilmaz 4–3 and handled samugamer 5–2. He’s trending defensively—conceded just five across those two knockout wins—while keeping enough bite to punish overextensions.
Brice has giant-killer momentum (4–2 nicolas99fc, 3–1 Obrun2002) after rallying from an 8–3 opening loss to Paulo Neto, but his path has been high-event (21 for, 19 against) and more variance-prone. Over one map, Levi’s error profile and end-game composure read better for a semifinal.
