1. Cuba
3. Japan
18. China
20. Brazil

China is their best shot for a mild upset. The tournament has gone as expected so far, I think, but I don’t put much faith in the difference in quality between the #18 team and the #20 team. Japan also has a stronger team than they usually send to international tournaments.
