Series 93 Finals Predictions
Posted: Mon Jun 15, 2026 4:39 pm
Wow! That's all I can say! We had to wait all week last Friday for our eighth seed to be confirmed because of how many wins Tom Bashford had, and with another Tom's loss today and only three Preliminaries left when that happened, the doors are shut. Without further ado, here are your top eight players this Series and the schedule!
Quarter-Finals #1 (18 June): Patrick Thompson (#1 Seed) vs Tom Bashford (#8 Seed) (REMATCH)
Quarter-Finals #2 (19 June): Charlie Harrison (#2 Seed) vs Megel Barker (#7 Seed)
Quarter-Finals #3 (22 June): Luke Selway (#3 Seed) vs Callum Ridley (#6 Seed)
Quarter-Finals #4 (23 June): Daniel Face (#4 Seed) vs Ian Kinsella (#5 Seed)
If you thought Series 92 last year was strong, this Series easily topples that. Three players having a cumulative score of 900 in a single Series (something that has only happened thrice in 25 years!), two players having the fastest and second fastest Octo-conundrum solve timings (toppling Tom Carey's 13 year old record in the process), and, for the first time in ages, a player who only has four wins make it into the Finals and someone else who managed to beat Harry Savage in terms of a Rubik's Cube solve! The expectations are definitely high with group of people!
Due to an overwhelming positive response in terms of the poll the last Series on our Discord Server plus the fact that the C4 Forum went down for over two months earlier this year, I have decided the Predictions poll which I've been doing ever since 2018 shall be migrated permanently there moving forward. This Thread, however, will remain for anyone that wants to post there for posterity purposes nonetheless! Reviews of each episode will continue to remain here on the Forum as I definitely can't squeeze in all my thoughts in 2000 characters without Discord Nitro elsewhere (which obviously I won't spend money on unnecessarily). If, for whatever reason the forum goes down again, you can expect me to send Microsoft Word or PDF copies of what I felt with each episode as it airs over on the Discord as a contingency!
All the best to the Final Eight on what looks set to be a fantastic, fiery seven episodes from Thursday onwards!
