SM Ubers: Lacus Clyne vs Lord Outrage - Outrage oughta study the Hack builds, hopefully Lacus will bring her own team this time tho
SM Ubers: Gunner Rohan vs Level 56 - Although both players have done really well so far, I gotta vote for GGunner here, if he prepares well he won't let this one slip.
SM Ubers: The Trap God vs FAJI - I'm not sure if pwn plays ubers so I gotta pick ttg.
SM Ubers: Astounded vs Edgar - Should be a good match.
SM Ubers: Hack vs Fireburn - In the battle of tier leaders Hack wins if he cooks the right team.

Firebot Falcons (0) vs Stark Sharks (0)

SM OU: Sweepage vs reiku - quite good game, tbh, but I favor reiku bc his SPL track record is a bit more favorable. sweepage is still a very good player, so could go either way
SM OU: Leftiez vs -Snow - two of the more creative players in the pool
SM OU: Cicada vs PDC - PDC is really solid and depsite a rough loss or two, he's bound to finish in the positive this season and I forsee a strong second half
ORAS OU: xray vs Trosko - close game between two of the better players in this pool imo
BW OU: Shoka vs dice - dice back where he probably belongs, should be a good game
DPP OU: Sauga vs ToF - tof has shown to still be very good oo


Wifi Wolfpack (0) vs Congregation of the Classiest (0)

SM OU: FlamingVictini vs Lcans - fv's rlly good
SM OU: Freestylerking vs z0mOG - bit of a weird match of midseason pick-ups, will certainly be revealing
SM OU: Gingy vs JohnYiu - gingy's solid af fr
ORAS OU: Chill Shadow vs mencemeat - jamvad's unbeatable in this tier holy..
BW OU: LuckOverSkill vs Eo Ut Mortus - should be close tbh but edge goes to luck imo
DPP OU: aim vs 6A9 Ace Matador - idk lol..i feel like aim could be used way better in other tiers w/ bad ass getting a chance here, but i also dont know aim too well in DPP while the wolf surely do, so he's prolly quite solid and should be good enough to take it vs a struggling AM

Alpha Ruiners (0) vs Circus Maximus Tigers (0)

SM OU: blunder vs Steve Angello - blunder's top1, steve's solid tbh tho but gotta favor blunder
SM OU: ABR vs p2 - actually will be closer than most think but abr's too good bop
SM OU: GeeMick vs Eternal Spirit - close tbh but favoring ES
SM LC: Christo vs Zebraiken - holy shit it's The Zebraiken of BW NU and US Central bench oh my god YESSSS MOTHERFUCKERS THATS MY MANS WOOO LET'S GOOO
ORAS OU: Rodriblutar vs Nintendi - godri..
BW OU: Smurf. vs McMeghan - rorororororororororo
DPP OU: august vs Tamahome - rlly good game tho

Team Raiders (1) vs Cryonicles (0)

SM OU: KratosMana vs njnp - actually probably one of the best SM games of the week and i'm really looking forward to seeing some flashes of creativity from both. i think that the bulky-offensive general pace of anti's teams grant a degree of consistency that njnp still needs to harness in his builds and playing seeing as he's a bit of a newer player to the tournament scene, but at the same time njnp is surely one to pull a surprise W out, so I could see this going either way, but it's hard not to go w/ anti given how well he's been playing and seemingly adjusting to the generation overall
SM OU: Nedor vs Zamrock - young NEGOD is doing pretty alright so far and zamrock has started hot, don't get me wrong, but given the support nedor has in prep and the way he views building and the level his gameplay has recently improve leads me to favoring him in a close one
SM OU: reyscarfacts vs psychicmewtwo - yea raiders sm ou is broken lmao suspect this shit
ORAS OU: TDK vs Poek - prolly one of my fav games all week and one i can't wait to see - top's broken in ORAS tho so can't predict against him ofc
BW OU: Jayde vs SoulWind - wowie this is prolly gonna be a top3 bw game all tournament and it's being played on a fucking monday!!! lit no johns woo!!!!!! im rlly looking forward to this, but swind has sorta been donated a W or two and while he's very much battle tested, i think i gotta favor jayde vs p much anyone barring roro rn due to how well he's been playing, but swind can win vs anyone in this tier and it could honestly go either way, so will have to see :o
DPP OU: roscoe vs Atticus - good match here, but favor roscoe

SM OU: Hector Hard Mode vs Finchinator - after retiring from bw ou, finchinator moves onto greener pastures in the brand new SM metagame. however, just because you took the ttar sand out the metagame, doesn't mean you can take the metagame out of finch. expect some weird sand balance with a rotom thrown on it that looks oddly like a bw team, but not enough so that finch can deny he just switched to z-move chomp instead of dragon gem.
SM OU: TheThorn vs Destiny Device - just as ciele every single week will being metagross + magnezone, and just as finchinator will bring half-baked bw balance, destiny device will bring celesteela balance that is reminscent of a week 1 sm pdc team. expect to see thethorn take a page from offensemaster crashingboombowlcutbangsbrotherbang and use 2 scarfers, 2 breakers, a stealth rocker user, and a toxapex counter and blow right through this odd motley of aesthetically pleasing pokemon.
SM OU: Sabella vs Mael - mael brings pinsir zone and loses horribly
SM LC: Star vs ZoroDark - in a fight for mad0ka's heart, these two top LCers will brawl it out to see who can be bestowed the anime lord's hand in little cup marriage. on the scooters side we have starmaster, who can not believe that this tier has such impossibly cute pokemon. on the right, we have zorodark, who after however many seasons on the bigs, is finally coming into his own and winning in spl. but if i've learned anything from my 2 weeks of watching romance anime, it is that the one who loves the girl the most always wins out in the end (unless they're the sister, of course).
ORAS OU: Axel10 vs Genesis7 - genesis7 is what you would get if you took blunder, subtracted the cbb circlejerk, took away the keldeo lando-t complex, minused a bit of culture, and added a whole lot of kek. and if there is ONE THING i know is true in this world, it is that kek will always beat cbb.
BW OU: Jirachee vs Ciele - assuming ciele doesn't bring a 2012 ojama team, or a hard stall, this should be a good game. still, i expect sand innovator #1 phil to come out on top with a spicy new blend of ferro-zam-hydreigon-ttar that only finchinator could appreciate. prepare to get your ivory taken, cielephant.
DPP OU: Philip7086 vs Porengan - outside of one of these players using jolteon there is absolutely nothing funny about this matchup. go phil 2.
ADV OU: Ojama vs dekzeh - fisherman bastien / puppetmaster franch takes on the head of the "no talking in the stours lobby" police dekzeh in a match where dekzeh will probably be paying more attention to ghosting going on in the chat log than the actual occurences of their game.
GSC OU: Mr.378 vs d0nut - i'm pretty sure this guy beat pokeaimMD once. pretty sure. like, positive. he should win because he is just so good.
RBY OU: Crystal_ vs Alexander. - if you can eq an incoming golem like you can eq an incoming magnezone you should be able to win this series.

Wifi Wolfpack (0) vs Congregation of the Classiest (0)

SM OU: FlamingVictini vs Lcans - flamingvictini will never bring tapu fini again, while lcans will continue to do so. we all know who wins this.
SM OU: Freestylerking vs z0mOG - kek master z0mOG has been picked up by the classiest in an odd turn of events. one would think the omfush(it)ake core would refuse to pick up any more jokers after they bought reymedy, but they proved everybody wrong with this buy. z0mOG can either win big with some ferro fini balance, or get crushed by the randomness of the legendary freestylerking. rooting for z0mOG because the kek brotherhood transcends team borders.
SM OU: Gingy vs JohnYiu - iamgingy has always been a favorite builder of mine. not only creative and unwiedly, but a surprisingly good player on the come up, iamgingy will take his neato spaghetti balances to new bounds this week when he crushes the random HO that will be brought by johnyiu.
SM Ubers: The Trap God vs FAJI
SM LC: Sken vs Heysup - trust
ORAS OU: Chill Shadow vs mencemeat - as long as jamvad plays on a sunday when the circlejerk is in full power, he cannot lose. as we all know, mrjamvad's mind races like a jet engine supercomputer thinking through every possible scenario, then arriving at a final play after sequences of equation gathering and random double switches.
BW OU: LuckOverSkill vs Eo Ut Mortus - eo brings chansey and luckvskill brings rain offense.
DPP OU: aim vs 6A9 Ace Matador - i have been impressed with 6a9's teams thus far. even though he has lost every week, i still think that he has got a few tricks up his sleave. pokeaimMD will bring zapdos breloom heatran starmie.
ADV OU: Astamatitos vs Danilo - i have faith


Alpha Ruiners (0) vs Circus Maximus Tigers (0)

SM OU: blunder vs Steve Angello - YEAH DAT WAY. german people listen to shitty electropop music u took a L on this one steve.
SM OU: ABR vs p2 - abr culturally appropriates sets and then claims them as his own - xtrashine
SM OU: GeeMick vs Eternal Spirit - geemick will inevitably bring magnezone lele meta and eternal spirit will inevitably bring celesteela defensive grass lando-t. go figure.
ORAS OU: Rodriblutar vs Nintendi - how can you bet against this man?
BW OU: Smurf. vs McMeghan - 50/50 shot for smurf to use either rain or the standard HO. if mcmeghan brings both a fake scarfer, AND a real scarfer he surely has this game in the bag.
DPP OU: august vs Tamahome - tamahome has had a pretty good season so far i believe, and i expect that to continue.


Team Raiders (1) vs Cryonicles (0)

SM OU: KratosMana vs njnp - njnp clicks the non super effective move every single turn, resulting in not only anti losing, but tdk ripping his hair out.
SM OU: Nedor vs Zamrock - will zamrock bring another ladder ho? will nedor bring another metagross? will zamrock ever stop saying gud fight? only time will tell.
SM OU: reyscarfacts vs psychicmewtwo - reyscarface once again tries to bring stall with duggy in order to show how it is not broken at all. subsequently wins.
SM LC: Kingler12345 vs Ice Tea - im the best lcer of all time fuck you kingler for taking my gslam spot.
ORAS OU: TDK vs Poek - i'll predict both of you so i can get oras / ost teams from you guys until the day i die.
BW OU: Jayde vs SoulWind - ok, let me tell you all how this is going to go down. team preview opens, and in that flurry of excitement that comes from witnissing the "two best bwers" duke it out comes sadness when you realize that each player has brought tyranitar sand balance. both jayde and sw say: "good luck, have fun bro" but in reality are thinking about how shit the other player is. by turn 5 something has died, and the player with the ko'd mon says "lol" in the chat, not referencing whether it be due to the luck, which may or may not have mattered, or just general humor at how bad his opponent is. halfway through the game both players are sweating at their brows with 3 spikes up on each side of the field, and an alakazam in the back. what comes next can be either interpreted as a cripple fight or a "masterful game of switching." the outcome of this game doesn't matter because no matter who wins, no matter due to what luck, both players will walk away thinking they are the greatest player of all time.
DPP OU: roscoe vs Atticus
ADV OU: UD vs Fakes - fakes always wins
GSC OU: BKC vs New Breed
RBY OU: Tobes vs Peasounay - omfuga ended this hype long ago, he will lose every week from now on

Triangles vs Undisputed - feel like undisputeds more consistently solid but triangles can easily take this if he brings something solid + unexpected

Ojama vs dekzeh - ojamas the more solid player imo but dekzeh has a knack for bringing the right team to each game. Think if the matchup isnt lopsided ojama takes it

Asta vs nilo - nilos too old for mons lol. Lets quit bro

Fakes vs ud - fakes has been monstering and ud hasnt impressed me so far if im being 100% honest. Hope he can turn it around
