Team Raiders (6) vs Circus Maximus Tigers (6)
ORAS OU #1: CrashinBoomBang vs ben gay - raiders oras is lookin scary atm, i can't predict them to lose vs anyone. the best builder and the best player is a Very good combo to have.
ORAS OU #2: TDK vs mencemeat - ^
ORAS UU: kokoloko vs dodmen - hype matchup
ORAS RU: Esteemed User Ginku vs atomicllamas - ginku is a bit bigger
ORAS NU: Hack vs Blast
ORAS Doubles: BLOOD TOTEM vs qsns - 2nd hype matchup of the series that wouldn't have looked it before the season, both guys are looking on form this spl.
ORAS LC: Kingler12345 vs OP
BW OU: LuckOverSkill vs ToF - idk if either guy is on form and both are vets so it's a tricky one to call.
DPP OU: Marshall.Law vs Lady Bug - rampardos > nidoqueen
ADV OU: Picollo vs JabbaTheGriffin - jabba looked quite solid last week, i have no clue about pico's adv form so it's hard to pick him
GSC OU: Veteran In Love vs Earthworm - yet another hype matchup, i'll do my best to stream if isa can't.
RBY OU: Tobes vs Golden Gyarados - the wcop rematch should be exciting, thank god we have rby instead of a 3rd oras slot
Indie Scooters (7) vs Firebot Falcons (5)
ORAS OU #1: cosine180 vs Tesung - both of these oras games are extremely cool. the germans need to get their shit together, if they do they can 2-0 and if they don't they'll get thrashed.
ORAS OU #2: xray vs Destiny Device - see above. these 2 games are gonna be the most important for determining who wins this series.
ORAS UU: xMarth vs Leftiez - xmarth is looking pretty strong, this is not the free win you were looking for.
ORAS RU: Windsong vs 49 - windsong is the better player, 49 is the better builder. building in ru right now is a fuckfest so the edge goes to windsong.
ORAS NU: Realistic Waters vs Can-Eh-Dian - i honestly have no clue how to call this one.
ORAS Doubles: Biosci vs KyleCole - kyle is playing well and should have a better team, william's game last week was silly.
ORAS LC: fitzy72 vs ZoroarkForever - fitzy is quite solid
BW OU: Jirachee vs dice - dice is definitely less experienced, but he's an unpredictable tournament player who could steal a win in this unscripted bo1 format
DPP OU: Go10 vs Tamahome - tama's rly solid, nice win vs rocka. go10 has his hands full.
ADV OU: liberty32 vs Triangles - assuming bkc helps him prep roscoe should have the edge. triangles is the better adver in a vacuum but bkc tilts the scales pretty hard.
GSC OU: Isa vs Mr.E - i like isa more, anyone who watched my stream knows my gsc analysis is lacking.
RBY OU: Bedschibaer vs reyscarface - beds is more on form than rey atm. very excited for this one.
Congregation of the Classiest (6) vs Alpha Ruiners (6)
ORAS OU #1: blunder vs ABR - really cocky and needs to tone it down a bit, but he's good at playing oras ou.
ORAS OU #2: daftmau5 vs TheEnder - what rust? ender's on point this spl
ORAS UU: Calloflochie vs Disenchanted - ruiners lower tiers are in shambles, idk what happened but subbing out the gslam winner is a surprise.
ORAS RU: New Breed vs Luigi. - hard to pick any of these inexperienced ruiners. if they steal one of the 3 sub games the series tilts heavily in the ruiners favor.
ORAS NU: Soulgazer vs PttP - dodrio is probably pretty usable in nu, but if soulgazer brings a steelix pttp is countered. probably the most winnable of these 3 games.
ORAS Doubles: Arcticblast vs checkmater75 - both guys have looked unimpressive thus far, the bidding war for stratos at midseason will be huge in deciding which team is a title contender.
ORAS LC: Heysup vs mad0ka - heysup has had 2 effortless wins over decent competition, he's in the running for the steal of the draft at this point.
BW OU: Evuelf vs SoulWind - this series is going to come down to who can hold serve more effeectively, none of the matchups besides dubs and dpp look that close. evuelf is good but sw is great.
DPP OU: Ojama vs Bad Ass - ass is solid but not really a dpp main, could go either way but ojama is stronger.
ADV OU: panamaxis vs dekzeh - still think pana doesn't belong in adv.
GSC OU: giara vs idiotfrommars - the goat. give week 8 already i wanna see ifm vs worms.
RBY OU: Agammemnon vs Tiba - apparently he's overrated, he's still gonna win 7 games this regular season and probably finish with the best record though.
Stark Sharks (6) vs Ever Grande BIGS (6)
ORAS OU #1: Steve Angello vs Improbable - tim gets wins.
ORAS OU #2: reiku vs Reymedy - rey should've won last week, he'll get it this week.
ORAS UU: Hikari vs bugzinator - hik is strong, bugzi is less strong
ORAS RU: Meru vs galbia - galb is a strong player who needs to get used to playing meticulously in a tour setting. meru is a strong player who's performed consistently. if this were week 9 i might flip this pick.
ORAS NU: Cased vs rozes - rozes will bring 3 steels to counter mononormal and get run over by cased's monofire squadron.
ORAS Doubles: TheFourthChaser vs Laga - laga what was that. get your shit together you're better than this.
ORAS LC: blarajan vs ZoroDark - av rayquaza is mediocre, it is reasonably effective by itself but it forces the rest of your team into awkward roles to cover for the fact that it takes an uber and a mega slot and brings low utility, gets outdamaged by both primals, and requires more support than a ton of other mons and doesn't ohko everything like life orb/cb mega ray. would be better in a format where you could bring a 3rd uber.
BW OU: GOD MARTH vs Finchinator - finch is an average to decent individual player who is an mvp level player in team tours. should be a great match.
DPP OU: gene vs boudouche - flamingvictini was apparently the catalyst necessary to give dpp doucher, it's about time. any doucher is good tho.
ADV OU: Golden Sun vs McMeghan - hype match of the series, no way roro starts off 0-3
GSC OU: Conflict vs d0nut - go nuts for d zero nuts.
RBY OU: The_Chaser vs MetalGro$$ - an old school rby slugfest, whoever has the stronger tauros wins
