Cat-Synchro: Best Deck for Nationals?

Just a month after the new banend list, the format seems to be clear (at least until Shining Darkness will be released): Balckwings, Machina Gadgets and Cat Synchro seems to be the best decks, with Cat Synchro at the lead for many players.
I also played Cat Synchro at many events now, and I want to show you why I don't think it will be as dominant as many people think.
At first,let's outline the facts that make this dekc so strong:
- Easy access to Arcanite Magician, which is one of the most powerfull Synchros ever released.
- Fast Advantage genration with floaters like Ryko and Spy
- Ability to disturb your opponets hand with Airbellum

Now, let's look at the different matchups:

Blackwing:
Blackwing is quite simple to counter. Just stop the normal summon, and they die. They also can't get over most of our Flipp-monsters without wasting a Kalut. Last but not least: Caius makes them cry.

Machina Gadget:
Good, I hate this deck. Machian fortress is a f***ing beast. Arcanite? Lose one Card. Caius? Lose one Card. The only way to deal with this guy without taking a loss of card advantage is Spell an Trap Removal. Still, as we main Cyber Dragons, and their Gadgets and Geaframes can't get over our Hamsters and Spys, this should be an easy machtup.

So we have positive Matchups against both other dimonant decks. Where's the problem?
The worst Matchup is in fact the mirror match.

I tested many different Cat Builds, and the result in the Mirror didn't change: It keept 50:50. This is quite simple to explain: The one who gets the first turn is the one who wins.
If you start and have an avarage hand you will be bale to set Hamster, Ryko, Spy or whatever first, and you will be the one to take advantage trought thier effects first. Think about it:
Ryko kills the set monster your opponet started with. Spy gets Descendant and kill the monster he set. Hamster doesn't kill the monster immediatly, but it's a plus 1 and cna be tributed for Caius, which also kills your opponets monster.

Conclusion: Are you realing willing to enter your Nationals with a deck that loses 50% of the mirror matches because you won't start? I think I won't, how about you?
