just as a disclaimer i don't mean to offend anyone when doing these, if u are umcomfortable / offended then just lmk
Listless Lilligants vs.
Moneymaker Musharnas
USUM NU:
quziel vs. neomon
both are kinda known for quirky or unique teams and it's prob gonna come down to who can make the more aggresive play at the right time and also matchup (55-45)
USUM NU:
Jarii vs. Shuckleking87
idk much about shuckleking's performance in sm bar beating poek with sand last week, so this is moreso based on me not knowing shuckleking as much as jarii (55-45)
USUM NU:
robjr vs. Sir Kay
kay finally been freed so he better do the damn thing but from experience rob knowns how to stay in control of a game fairly well but ik kay's been waiting for this so he's prob gonna try more overall (53-47)
ORAS NU: Sacri' vs.
Shaneghoul
shane's run has been kinda unfortunate with a few odd games here n there with luck, hoping that doesn't phase him tho and hope he uses something new cos his builds are always cool to see (40-60)
Bo3:
Tricking vs. Garay oak
garay's cool but tricking is prob more well rounded off in terms of diversity and consistency in bw so just going with him, could do either way - probably gonna come down to if garay can win in oras and sm as i feel tricking has the upper hand in bw (57-43)
Reckless Rhydons vs.
Krusty Krabs
USUM NU: Teddeh
vs. elodin
this one is super close and a cool game as well, teddeh seems kinda tired rn but no doubting that he has a high cieling whereas elodin is an overall rlly good player who has sufficent team support as well (50-50)
USUM NU:
lax vs. Pohjis
rlly close one, but giving lax the edge here as i think he's just a tad stronger and more confident, but pohjis is a very good player who could also take this (55-45)
USUM NU:
Cdumas vs. kory2600
i know that cdumas defo has more nu experience and knowledge (at least from what i've seen from him) so i feel like that's gonna give him the edge here (60-40)
ORAS NU: Snou vs.
Kiyo
kiyo is def more familiar with oras and is overall just better at it, but snou's also shown he's capable in oras combined with consistent teddeh teams and some other famous oras teams, so if kiyo brings something more unique i feel like he def has this (63-37)
Bo3: Dundies
vs. Finchinator
finch's prob gonna take bw just as an inference based on how invested he seems with it, dundies prob gonna take oras then it'll be down to the sm game, but idt dundies shud be taken lightly as he's prob kinda motivated after last week so idk lol, but finch is prob more well rounded
Dilly Dilly Dewgongs vs.
Vibrant Vivillons
USUM NU: 0NI vs.
Slide
i've played slide idk how many times in sm but his teams are mega sus but as a player he knows how to quickly take control of a game but @ the same time things can also go south very fast, hoping he keeps his cool and is prob motivated but ik oni semi well and i know he's not someone to be taken lightly (40-60)
USUM NU: snagaa vs.
Eternally
both good players that know the the tier inside n out, predicting eternally to take it though cos he's a record whore and will wana finish off with a strong track showing, but snaga's builds are kinda unpredictable so we'll see how it goes (44-56)
USUM NU:
lo shohei ohtani toyotas vs. Gondra
cb jose altuves
but honestly meeps can win this p comfortably but will prob end up bringing like barboach whereas gondra 99% be using a real team from rozes so idk what's gonna happen (idk)
Bo3: The Goomy vs.
TDK
kinda like meeps gondra but not as extreme, in the sense that tdk will prob use one of his own teams or use some supplied by rozes / eternally / slide, also i think tdk prob has a higher cieling playing wise overall but i always like seeing goomy play cos of his teams so we shall see
hoping to see lillis in poffs, good luck to them and hf klinklangs
