Not sure I’m following, the winners of each bracket plus one wild card team at large make it through.

you might need to re-think - only division winner advances based on the way the bracket is laid out. 3 div winners + 1 wildcard

I'd say bracket C will be tough to come out of even more so as a wild card. But i think Tigres FW will come out on top of C.

Honestly, with sustained 30mph wind, I do not think anything can be determined or certain. I saw simple passes and decent first touches where the play was completely destroyed by the wind time and time again.
Teams that play possession and passing had to find another way to win. Kick and run teams had a better chance but still tough when going against wind. I saw some teams, when they had the wind, just shoot as soon as they crossed midfield just to take a chance the wind would mess the goalie up. That tactic worked a lot from what I saw. Not a lot of good soccer out there in my opinion. I am not sure we can take anything away from this tournament so far.

What did seem to work was high and sustained pressure when the other team was going against wind, hope for a mistake or hope the wind hodor one, then pounce and shoot with help of wind. Rinse repeat.

The X factor this morning will be the cold and no wind so its almost a completely new tournament today.
