The bracket isn't set yet.

I think fans may be okay if Cynthia loses to Leon too, but yeah, anyone else would cause a mass whining outbreak.

I think Alain will face Ash, like what's the point of bringing him in oppose to Raihan/Flint/Brandon if they weren't going to face each other.

While Ash going over Alain makes sense, we've also seen in many an anime with a tournament the team that beat the MC lose just before a rematch to build up an even bigger threat.

At least they cannot pull the card of Ash wins a round but his team is too depleted and exhausted for the next round. His team at this point is deep enough he could rotate as much as he wants.
