What he said.
8th -
Lavender Diancies - This squad does have talent. However, what I'm afraid is going to lack in this squad is consistency which is key. Also other teams have really excelling members on there roster so if this team wants to win, they really need to bring there A game every single match.
7th -
Fletchinder Eterna - As I said about the Lavender Diancies, this group does have talent. I'm familiar with a few members on the squad such as milktankmilk, naruto(sage), and hairy toenail. What made me give the edge to you guys over the Lavender Diancies was picking hairytoenail. In your future BLT matches, I believe he will be the person getting you those wins to get you on the board.
6th -
Dewford Dewgongs - I like this team. Jeran and macle for me, stand out a lot in the team. Even though you have two really good players on this team, I worry how the other members will do. Can they pick up the clutch wins that might secure them a high placing?
5th -
Vermillion Volcaronas - For this squad, Eyan, TechBre and AV99 catch my eye. Eyan is a pretty solid player and Tech is really good as well. AV99 has made it far in the last BLT so he has great experience playing NU in this tournament. Now even though you have 3 solid players, other teams are stacked in almost every tier such as the Jirachi's and Celebis. Also, even with those three players that caught my eye, can they live up to there hype?
4th -
Violet Victinis - This team to me is the dark horse. The team has a few underated players which imo will shine in this BLT. You got Wombo who was on the winning team in the last BLT, you got silverwhiteblue who is really good at dubs. Also, having a good dubs player this BLT season seems very critical based on the competition. You also got YABO who I don't know to much, but he plays in a lot of tournaments so he is bound to win some matches. Even though 4th isn't a great placing, this team expecting to not do good WILL do good. They might even make it to 3rd place tbh. With those underated players however, you got others who may not be able to live up to the hype.
3rd -
Canalave Cobalions - This team is really good. Some may be surprised why I didn't stack this team higher. 5 players on this team stand out to me (Jmac, Kiyo, megazard, Ace and majaspic 22). Now even though you got a lot of great players, I feel like the Celebis and Jirachis have the better overall roster. BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE. This team can be a contender for 2nd or 1st if they all play great.
2nd/1st -
Celestic Celebis &
Jubilife Jirachis - Alright. Now these two teams are imo the POWER HOUSES. This is like Ash vs Gary. I can't tell which team has the edge, but one thing for sure is that all players on both of these teams are beasts. Great job to the managers/assman for these picks.
