Carrera's had a tough draw so far for a #1 seed. Jota came from the uber-popular RSR and a lot of folks (myself included) think that Lilia is the true gem of F40, not Raika.
Carrera can't complain though.
They way I see it, Narsha, Makoto, and Anri have each drawn formidable opponents capable of knocking them out in all three rounds so far, while Carrera got a 1-16 cakewalk in Round 1.
Of course, at this point inthe contest, all the matchups are tough. (I personally think there's only two sure-things in this round out of the eight pairings, but in the interest of remaining unbiased I won't say which ones they are. Different people will have different perceptions of what makes a sure-thing and, in their opinion, exactly which contests actually are.)
