4x4 probably sub20 single
OH sub9 single + WR avg by Przemysław Kaleta
3BLD sub20 single
Mega sub40 single if Yu Da Hyun competes

 

[Coolster01]

If feet WR isnt in your list, your list isnt good xD

So much potential in the event for gabriel

 

[Divineskulls]

Also I wanna get another NAR for mega before I start really focusing on 3x3.

 

[Ninja Storm]

3x3OH: someone with WCA ID 2012ELLI01 will get a sub2013HUAN07 single.

 

[A Leman]

Both of the big BLD WRs will be broken by a lot!

There will be at least 1 more official sub 30 3BLD solver from the US

 

[Florian]

sub 50 5x5 single

 

[Carrot]

Pyra avg: sub 2.7
Mega avg: sub 47
Skewb avg: sub 5.5

Ohh I'll fail miserably at breaking world record in whatever event I'll focus on next year

 

[Edward_Lin]

3x3: 4.41 singjle 5.69 avgj
4x4: 18.74 singjle 24.76 avgj
5x5: 42.85 singjle 47.89 avgj

 

[Randomno]

ShengShou will release an 11x11 and people will forget Yuxin forever.

A cuboid will be added to WCA puzzles.

 

[ottozing]

2x2 - 1.6x avg by Me, Chris, Ray, Or Bill
3x3 - Low 5 single by Faz or Mats
4x4 - Kevin Costello sweep pls
5x5 - Sub 50 single by Faz with my cube
OH - Avg by Antoine
Pyra - Avg by Drew a few times

All I can think of right now. I'd like to see top 10 for 2x2 get close to sub 2 also

 

[notfeliks]

2x2 average again by Chris, single WR reset or something as Christian doesn't really deserve it.
3x3 single by most likely Feliks. Alex can do it if he gets a good scramble, but I don't see Mats doing it without a really, really nice scramble. Also should see several more sub-6 but not WR solves.
4x4 single and average broken again by Kevin, Mats, Sebastian or Feliks.
5x5 single hopefully going sub-50 by Kevin or Feliks, but I don't really see Kevin beating faz for the average.
6x6 single and average are probably going to stay the same, but maybe average will be broken again by a little bit, most likely by Kevin.
7x7 single smashed by Kevin or Feliks, or maybe Lin Chen again if he makes a comeback. Can't really say where the average is going.
OH single will probably stay the same I would say. I doubt the average will last very long though.
FMC: Does anyone really care about this event?
Pyra: Drew will own the average a few times, probably a mid or low 2 by the end of the year. Would be great to see him get WR single too as he really deserves it.
Clock: Single broken. Has to be.
Mega: Sub 40 single and sub 45 average would be great to see. Such an awesome puzzle.
Skewb: I suspect people will get some undeserved (or maybe deserved!) lolsingles like with 2x2, sub-3 or maybe sub-2. Average will be sub-6 within a few months.
Sq-1: It's about time the average was broken, and I can see 7.41 getting beaten too.
Feet: Sub 25 single would make me giggle like a schoolgirl.
3BLD: I want to see Maskow take this one. Sub-20 would be amazing too.
4BLD: Sub 2 would be so cool, though I doubt it'll happen.
5BLD: To be honest I don't really care about this one... sub 5 would be cool I guess.
MultiBLD: I really wanna see Maskow get 50/50. He's amazing and deserves it.

Wanna see a cuboid become official too.

 

[TDM]

2x2 [...] single WR reset or something as Christian doesn't really deserve it.

:fp

FMC: Does anyone really care about this event?

Yes.
