They really trying to hype up the league, are they?
Anyway, let's pick one of them, shall we? Who will be the winner, let's see... Gladion? Maybe...?

Lillie battling Gladion, as it should be.
At least Kiawe's gonna outlast her!
And the 'main' Pokegirl will go down in the same round as Mallow, nice. That's satisfactory news at least.

Can’t be sure but did that video say the rounds will be 1v1? I really hope not. I hope it’s just the Top 16. I want Ash and Gladion’s battle to be at least a 3v3.

For Hau, a better translation would probably be "Riding on His Grandfather's Coattails". I remember reading something about that particular expression once long ago in a translator's notes section of some manga.
Awesome! Thanks, I'll update my post.
On another note, they're being kind of negative to Hau with that description. Couldn't they have come up with something more positive?
The only reference I'm sure of is Principal Oak: Man of a Thousand Faces is a famous film. This could also be a tribute to the late Unsho Ishizuka, as the film told the life story of a famous silent film actor who died to cancer.
Lana could be a reference to Misty, who's known as the tomboyish mermaid.
I've mentioned this before, but Guzma never actually referred to himself as the Emperor of Destruction in the games. As such, Emperor of Destruction, both the title given to Guzma as well as the episode title from before, could be a reference to the title of the third Pokemon film, Emperor of the Crystal Tower. (Also, fitting that a prince would lose to an emperor.)
Finally, Full-Powered (全力) has become somewhat of a catchphrase for Ash, given that he says it almost every time he performs a Z-move.
Lana could be a reference to Misty, who's known as the tomboyish mermaid.

Here is my predictions for the Alola League
Top 16
Ash vs Faba - Ash wins
Ilima vs Guzma - Guzma wins
Hau vs Samson - Hau wins
Mallow vs Lana - Lana wins
Scophocles vs Mina - Scophocles wins
Jessie vs James - Jessie wins
Kiawe vs Acerola - Kiawe wins
Lille vs Gladion - Gladion wins
Top 8
Ash vs Hau - Ash wins
Lana vs Guzma - Guzma wins
Scophocles vs Kiawe - Kiawe wins
Jessie vs Gladion - Gladion wins
Top 4
Kiawe vs Guzma - Guzma wins
Ash vs Gladion - Ash wins
Final Match
Ash vs Guzma - Guzma wins
Guzma vs Masked Royal - Masked Royal wins
In the final moment of that battle there is an explosion and the impact make the mask come off and everyone finds out Kukui is The Masked Royal. This battle opens Guzma's eyes and he sees how he was wrong and gives up his title of champion to Kukui so he can go train and earn it again probably.

Given how Plumeria played dirty to benefit Guzma, if Guzma beats Ilima, I don't see him winning the League. Even if the Masked Royal beats him, Guzma will have still accomplished his mission of winning the League so he can destroy it, which would leave a horrible taste in people's mouths.

But, I don't think that there's a lot of other options.
They could always have Ash beat Guzma and lose to the Masked Royal.

I highly doubt that Ash is winning.
Do you really think they'll have a "Bad Guy wins" scenario in Pokémon and have the Alola League be destroyed? Because if Guzma wins, the Alola League will be destroyed. That's Guzma's goal. The match against the Masked Royal is an exhibition match. And even if Guzma loses that, which he would, it would be a case of Kukui winning the battle but losing the war since Guzma would still be Champion and be able to destroy the Alola League. And after that, it would be highly difficult for Kului to simply make another League even should Guzma get arrested, killed, or banished to another dimension. The stigma of having Kukui's League being won by scum like Guzma would stick around for a long time. The only way I can see Guzma beating Ash is if he faces Ash in a round other than the finals. If it's the finals, then Ash will win because if he doesn't, he will be a true failure for not only losing the League, but allowing it to be destroyed and/or discredited by Guzma, which would leave a horrible taste in everyone's mouth.
I can easily see this being the case.
