[Robyn]

LETS GO GO GO GOGOATS...... carry me to victory while i occupy my comfortable seat on the bench and deal with endless pages of college bullshit

 

[lost heros]

Ok time for the best and most consistent predicts of the tour

SS 1v1 Bo7: neomon vs lolebruh - Lol, bruh. You stand no chance
SS 1v1: zo vs Fragments - Fragments is going to get so crushed, they'll truly be in Fragments
SM 1v1 Bo7: Squirtell 1v1 vs Potatochan - Squirtell is going 6-0 this tour
SM 1v1: Felucia vs gorilaa - Felucia was in timeout for using Galvantula last week, but she's learned her lesson
ORAS 1v1: SwordIsBored vs Kaif - Top 1 ORAS
BW 1v1: bern vs STABLE - (insert some feel the bern meme here)
DPP 1v1: Euphonos vs Nuxl - Euph is definitely the underdog here vs the undefeated Nuxl, but I have faith he can pull off an upset
ADV 1v1: Marshme1to vs LittEleven - If I can get Marsh and Doug to stop constantly memeing each other, there is no way Marsh can lose
Monopoke: Kanha Greninja vs TBD - closest match of the series, but I think Kanha's got it

Go-Go Gogoats (8) vs (0) Seychelles Snorlaxes - Damn another 8-0 win for Goats, that's super impressive, but again it's just super likely.

But wait! I'll be predicting a second series this week! Exciting

SS 1v1 Bo7: bo_bobson27 vs Lumii - Bo will be using his new moderator and TL powers to win, sorry Lumii.
SS 1v1: DripLegend vs luser - Drip will also be using his new TL powers to win, sorry luser
SM 1v1 Bo7: Bopher vs Elo Bandit - Bopher is just crazy enough that there is no way Bandit can win
SM 1v1: Waylaid vs Krytocon - Waylaid has been waiting all tour to unleash a bunch of exciting new heat sets. Krytocon won't know what hit him
ORAS 1v1: Nick vs RTM - Little known secret, Nick is actually an ORAS main. Probably like #2 ORAS
BW 1v1: Despacito87 vs autumn - Alexa knows
DPP 1v1: Scholar vs dreepy - Scholar has studied long and hard for this exact mu. There's no way they lose
ADV 1v1: SuperMemeBroz vs Sanshokuinsumireko - It's like 100 SMBZ, like not even close

NaganaDel Reys (8) vs (0) Stolen Spectres - Wow! 2 8-0s in 1 week. It's honestly impressive.

 

[armaldlothearmaldo]

Sure. I have no idea what I'm doing, but last I checked, no one was paying me to.

Sour Soul Sceptiles (0) vs (0) Full Moon Frosmoths
SS 1v1 Bo7: crow crumbs vs Close Barring the loss to Felucia, close has looked very strong this tournament.
SS 1v1: Career Ended vs Liimpy No idea.
SM 1v1 Bo7: Frito vs crucify crucify is good. I haven't seen Frito play enough to make a fair assessment, but odds are crucify is just better.
SM 1v1: torterraxx vs frostyicelad
ORAS 1v1: zioziotrip vs Taka
BW 1v1: AlyssaVGC vs Palestine To be completely honest, I haven't paid enough attention to Alyssa's games to make a fair assessment, but I have it on reliable authority that Pale is only good at clicking in BW, so I'm going to say Alyssa outbuilds.
DPP 1v1: Slip vs stravench stravench has been playing very well.
ADV 1v1: deddd vs Eeveekid10 deddd will learn where others have not and win.
Monopoke: spoo vs realaccountami? The CAP-1v1 crossover shall continue.

NaganaDel Reys (0) vs (0) Stolen Spectres
SS 1v1 Bo7: bo_bobson27 vs Lumii
SS 1v1: DripLegend vs luser I think bo and DripLegend go for glory and the rest of the team shrugs. I'd be happy to be wrong though.
SM 1v1 Bo7: Bopher vs Elo Bandit Bandit's been very good this OGPL.
SM 1v1: Waylaid vs Krytocon
ORAS 1v1: Nick vs RTM - Day 1 Gaming. This match already happened.
BW 1v1: Despacito87 vs autumn
DPP 1v1: Scholar vs dreepy I haven't seen dreepy play much, but he won against Euphonos, who I've apparently decided is Worf.
ADV 1v1: SuperMemeBroz vs Sanshokuinsumireko

Go-Go Gogoats (0) vs (0) Seychelles Snorlaxes
SS 1v1 Bo7: neomon vs lolebruh He beat me in a room tour, so he must be good. Or I just suck at SS (It's both).
SS 1v1: zo vs Fragments I think this is fair enough out. Felucia last week declared that she's not paid enough to understand zo's series, and I'm not paid at all!
SM 1v1 Bo7: Squirtell 1v1 vs Potatochan Squirtell is 4-0 so far. Potatochan definitely can win, but he's had a rough OGPL so far.
SM 1v1: Felucia vs gorilaa Gorilaa regged in 2020. Blame Felucia if I'm wrong.
[10:34] #Felucia: poor armaldlo traumatised by the Felucia predicts
[10:35] +armaldlo: More confused than traumatised.
[10:35] +armaldlo: The only thing I got right was that lost would come out of this worse than I did.
[10:35] #Felucia: It's very simple
[10:35] #Felucia: Any player who joined after 2018 doesn't stand a chance against me
ORAS 1v1: SwordIsBored vs Kaif Top 5 ORAS or something.
BW 1v1: bern vs STABLE I don't think I've ever seen bern play BW.
DPP 1v1: Euphonos vs Nuxl Match of the tournament.
ADV 1v1: Marshme1to vs LittEleven Marsh clutched last week. I believe in him here too.
Monopoke: Kanha Greninja vs TBD

[bo_bobson27]

Sour Soul Sceptiles vs Full Moon Frosmoths
SS 1v1 Bo7: crow crumbs vs Close this will be a good series. bird should be motivated, and close seems to care about this tour. 40/60
SS 1v1: Career Ended vs Liimpy I think career is a better picker, but liimpy has been doing pretty well. 60/40
SM 1v1 Bo7: Frito vs crucify frito's win last week was impressive, but crucify is way too good at the game 20/80
SM 1v1: torterraxx vs frostyicelad Frosty in the clutch 80/20
ORAS 1v1: zioziotrip vs Taka depends if zio schedules the match during another party 60/40
BW 1v1: AlyssaVGC vs Palestine alyssa is pretty good at bw, idk steen can keep up 70/30
DPP 1v1: Slip vs stravench both are good dpp players, but slip got outpicked last week, and strav seems to have found his groove 60/40
ADV 1v1: deddd vs Eeveekid10 deddd adv support is doing well, last minute mishlef sub incoming 70/30
Monopoke: spoo vs realaccountami? ami either cannot schedule a time, or is unavailable due to irl
Based on my predictions, the Sceptiles have a 48% to Win, 28% to Tie, and 24% to Lose.

SM 1v1: Felucia vs gorilaa gorilaa wont get haxxed again this week surely 30/70
ORAS 1v1: SwordIsBored vs Kaif scaredy cat litten runs away from top oras player swordisbored 60/40

[Satanic Beast]

pirate pad predicts returns for a week 5 installment! im your host edgar, and let's get right into it! ⋆｡˚ ︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆

Owen Legacy (4) vs (4) Crucify Legacy
SS 1v1 Bo7: crow crumbs vs Close - close has been having a decent but not amazing tour, i would maybe say mr. crumbs has been having a better tour but in this week 5 situation i got close
SS 1v1: Career Ended vs Liimpy - i would cross this out but since every mu matters im definitely not going with career, being 0-2 in ss with losses to despacito numbers and lolebruh does not inspire me.
SM 1v1 Bo7: Frito vs crucify - dude the top 4 slots of the sceptiles is so rough, how is owen far and away the best player LOL. frito had a good win last week but yeah
SM 1v1: torterraxx vs frostyicelad - torterra has defeated the hubert (not too difficult these days) and frosty is frosty. frosty really is the yamcha of 1v1
ORAS 1v1: zioziotrip vs Taka - zack somehow won while not caring last week vs almost certainly the toughest oras in the pool for at minimum week 4. he's faced with a new challenge of playing against taka in oras (crucify slave woohoo!) and i'm confident in him being able to pull it out providing he can outclick (he can) and not totally lack a shit to give.
BW 1v1: AlyssaVGC vs Palestine - i bolded the frosmoths 3 straight time and am now bolding the sceptiles 3 straight times.
DPP 1v1: Slip vs stravench - slip has looked good this tour and strav has looked meh, but for some reason a divine voice (toad?) is telling me that SOMETHING is gonna go wrong in the Sour Soul Sceptiles dpp slot in the clutch. the haters and losers may not see the vision but most dpp series are a highlight this tour
ADV 1v1: deddd vs Eeveekid10 - dedddddd starting 0-2 in ss then the adv slot going 2-0 after a juggle is like the 1v1 equivlent of "show us your little dance nephew"
Monopoke: spoo vs realaccountami?

both these teams have chunks of terrible slots, i think this tour will be hard to win for both. also where is lialiabeast man, get frosty's ass back on the bench. i guess the frosmoths are just running back their only lineup that has seen a little success, but idk man it was vs the naganadels man. neither team wants to tie either

The Worst Team Ever (L2draft driplegend) (The hyperspace horrors 2.0) (0) vs (2) Delemon is good in the regular season
SS 1v1 Bo7: bo_bobson27 vs Lumii - this series is gonna prove how much of an ally giboney is, since they made playoffs lumi is gonna bring shit mons and use that as an excuse if she loses and will brag if she wins
SS 1v1: DripLegend vs luser
SM 1v1 Bo7: Bopher vs Elo Bandit - after smoking on that robyn pack last week, she is added to the list of elo bandit victims this tour. im taking nobody over him this tour, him in ogpl is clearly like paolo banchero in summer league.
SM 1v1: Waylaid vs Krytocon
ORAS 1v1: Nick vs RTM - this could maybe be interesting, but probably not. i wonder if i would bold this version of nick over frosty. now that's a mu that should have happened
BW 1v1: Despacito87 vs autumn
DPP 1v1: Scholar vs dreepy - the most boring and waste of a mu is followed by some fucking fiyah, aura this mu is off the charts. looking forward to this not getting linked anywhere and no ggs from the scholar.
ADV 1v1: SuperMemeBroz vs Sanshokuinsumireko - these dudes should play adv 1v1 uu i dont wanna see tauros raikou sceptile and charizard

i find it funny how we avoided the 2 teams who dont care gatekeeping others for the playoffs, streets are saying that a lot of people want the delemons to lose this week, we saw how that went for the heatrans week 7 in pl

The Gogoats Are The Detroit Pistons And Bernian Is Darko Milicic (4) vs (4) Radu, Kaif, Jacob Legacy
SS 1v1 Bo7: neomon vs lolebruh - im gonna go out on a limb and say that neomon is better than 1v1 individual winner lolebruh, i hope we see some tiebreakers this tour so egomon can make a return
SS 1v1: zo vs Fragments

TW: Lonzo slander

somehow lonzo has started 5 times and has played 1 match, yet in this post says " stop saying im dodging matchups lol" after a simple gabbygabbybeast victory. like i said like 2 weeks ago (?) statistically lonzo will not win twice in a row, especially not in the clutch. however, i am very much rooting for lonzo this tour, especially since technically they can go undefeated (they can also still go negative).

SM 1v1 Bo7: Squirtell 1v1 vs Potatochan - better player
SM 1v1: Felucia vs gorilaa - after getting 3-0ed by frito last week, gorilaa gotta prove he can hang with 1v1's big dogs, like felucia.
ORAS 1v1: SwordIsBored vs Kaif - better player
BW 1v1: bern vs STABLE - LOL gogoats what is this juggle man why did this occour? did neomonster just say fuck this shit tier? so far radu was 21.5k and is 2-2, that's roughly 11k per win, which is a fair market price to pay in ogpl.
DPP 1v1: Euphonos vs Nuxl - it looks like the key to going undefeated in dpp 1v1 is spamming clefable and haxing people..... who would have thunk it............. this matchup in the clutch is an amazing teacher vs student moment. to bring his team to the promised land, nuxl has to beat the final boss of dpp 1v1. nuxl=po and euphonos=master oogway.

ADV 1v1: Marshme1to vs LittEleven - kaif being so ass and refusing to sub himself out has resulted in adv little eleven, which makes no sense LOL. shouldn't hubert have just sacraficed himself to perhaps get an adv win? it's just marshmelto

Sorry that I played like total chode naganadels the whole tour


but real shit if you do the (Insert player name) + (insert another player name) = (the score), that shit is cringey as fuck. That shit became total cringe when everyone started to spamming thinking that fucking shit is clever with their fucking winpost, no it’s not fucking cool, it kinda just became extremely corny overtime. No hate to you if you do it and or like it but that type of winpost is extremely cringey to me I’m sorry.
