Happy Round 2 to everyone. Here are my picks: 

Group 1: Ananan VS Pokeguy VS Viroda
WINNER: Ananan, 2nd = Pokeguy 3rd = Viroda

I don't expect Pokeguy to have as sloppy a run as round 1, but Ananan is a top tier runner/racer. Ananan wins with sub 2:10, Pokeguy advances, RIP Viroda <3

Group 2: Juanlyways VS Roushmore VS Blaketurnertron
WINNER: Juanlyways, 2nd = Roush 3rd = Blaketurnertron

Juanly is still probably the favorite in the tourney and his good runs won't stop here. He wins with Roush's overall experience carrying him to 2nd place. Blake could make this a close race for 2nd, but I think everybody get Leafgreen'd at one point in this race and we'll see how everyone bounces back from their mishaps.

Group 3: Machwing VS Irondre_ VS Sheltiesci
Winner: Machwing, 2nd = Iron 3rd = Sheltiesci

Once again I will let my bets on myself ride. Iron is really good and at the time of writing this I think our last 3 races have been sperated by less than a minute entering E4. Sheltie will definitely improve on her Round 1 time, but I consider this an unlucky draw based of mine and Iron's combined racing experience. Pray to Arceus that Iron doesn't get hailless

Group 4: KukkerTM VS Headbob VS Odden
Winner: Kukker TM  2nd = Headbob 3rd = Odden

Unfortunate draw for Odden, as both Kukker and Headbob are capable of sub 2:10 race times. Kukker is unstoppable in races, and has found a way to buff his RNG by wiping to Liam. Headbob will still advance with a good time but it's hard to catch Kukker rn.

Group 5: Shiru666 VS JP_Xinnam VS Pickleplop
Winner: Pickle, 2nd = Shiru 3rd = JP_Xinnam

Holy shit what a race to have in Round 2. Really unfortunate to have to see someone go here but real life RNG strikes again. All 3 racers have a chance to win this one, and it's really gonna fall on the small differences in RNG each runner sees. Basically random guesses (really this whole pastebin) but I'll say Pickle avenges his Round 1 loss with a Round 2 win. I think it'll be close between Shiru and JP for 2nd place but Shiru pulls it out with *successful* YOLO Champ experience under his belt.

Group 6: Kidrocker VS Leaf27 VS Kadir
Winner Leaf27, 2nd = KR 3rd = Kadir

This should be another close race as not much separates these runner's PBs. I think it's either gonna fall to a close race for first or a close race for 2nd, regardless I'll just say that Leaf come out on top with KR finishing not far behind, with Kadir even closer tp KR than that. 

Group 7: Thunder_147 VS Snorms VS Qpalz
Winner: Thunder, 2nd = Snorms 3rd = Qpalz

Should be another good race, especially between Thunder and Snorms. Both are extremely knowledgeable about the game, and it could really be down to the wire for 1st. I'll take Thunder in a close one. Qpalz remains VIP in my chat <3

Group 8: Randall VS PinkishPrincess VS Guillem
Winner: Randall, 2nd = Pinkish 3rd = Guillem

A really good Pot 1 vs Pot 2 race, as Pinkish had a better time than Randall in Round 1. Tough draw for Guillem getting paired with two beasts. This once could go either way. I'll take Randall's late Surge safety in what will still be a super close race between him and Pinkish. RIP Guillem <3

Group 9: Kurddt VS Amoeba_UK VS Asmo
Winner: Kurddt, 2nd = Amoeba 3rd = Asmo

Amoeba proved all Char doubters wrong in Round 1, letting them know that if their Squirtle is not at the top of their game, the lizard king could catch you. 
Kurddt's Squirtle will be at the top of his/her game. Char goes down valiantly in E4. Asmo has a chance to possibly catch 2nd here, but gonna say Amoeba's comfortability with the safer Char route will have him locking in a solid time for Char no matter what.
