I'm kinda neutral on both so I picked See Results but I'm leaning towards Gukesh now. I rooted for Ding in 2024 WCC, partly because he was the underdog so now that Gukesh is probably the underdog, I want to see him retain the title and have a resurgence. Also Sindarov has overshadowed all my favs (Nodirbek, Fabi, Pragg, Wei Yi) with his good World Cup performance and legendary Candidates performance so I'm biased against him lol
