won vs starmaster, first blood

for those asking why i t-waved: lo ice beam from staryu put ferro in crunch range so t-wave into 50/50 gave me better odds than getting double min rolls (he didn't ice beam but i assumed he would)
i didnt have ibeam (why i clicked pump) and spin put u in crunch range obviously but thats mons lol. gg
 
SM OU: reyscarface vs Mazar reyscarface probably doesnt have to deal with any pressure but mazar seems to be a bit more into sm so the odds arent in anyones favor
SM OU: kratosmana vs P2 anti might be the better player overall but dont underestimate tryhardism. but i give kratosmana the edge assuming he prepares as well as p2 does
SM OU: TDK vs Steve Angello TDKs innovative teambuilding style gives him a lot of chances in sm especially due to z-moves which can win a game on their own if used at the right time. Also steve has only played friendlys in sm until now. odds in tdks favor but i expect an interesting battle

SM OU: mencemeat vs FlamingVictini FV is on a roll especially after him performing awesomely in wcop. also his creative playstyle will definitly reward him in sm. but jam is unconventinal too so itll sure be a fun battle to watch.
SM OU: Zamrock vs Snowy. Zamrocking Spl now. i predict snowy to be nervous since its his first spl but he could cause an upset by winning this and taking the momentum for the next rounds. do or die
SM OU: njnp vs IAmGingy njnp is a hustling teambuilder and im sure that all this effort will surely pay off even though he sure has a tough opponent in gingy.

SM OU: Hector Hard Mode vs Sweepage sweep is an amazing player for sure but i do question his abilities about newer gens and metas a bit ಠ_ಠ Hector showed that he was an active oras player so im curious about this one.
SM OU: Axel10 vs Cicada the sheriff will probably show why he got his nickname but cicada seems to like sm and their playing abilities are basically tied imo. another interesting one
SM OU: Sabella vs Leftiez Lefiez showed in OLT that hes definitly on fire and im sure that he will bring this home

SM OU: Lysergic vs ABR yeah i cant imagine abr losing in week1. abr blunder and geemick is a truly strong core for sm and i cant imagine anyone of them going negative
SM OU: Adam vs blunder ^
SM OU: Eo Ut Mortus vs Geemick he hasnt shown himself much in tournaments after wcop iirc but he has the tremendous support of abr and blunder which you should not underestimate.
but eo is a really strong sm player on the other side so i predict him to play the game itself a bit better. 60/40 for eo
SM OU: PDC vs Obliviate go get em flo n_n
SM OU: dragonuser vs Ciele Ciele will probably show his qualities in building every team himself again and he plays like a young god. im not sure how he feels in the sm meta but i will experience it friday evening myself
SM OU: reiku vs Destiny Device both are very solid players but not havent shown that much lately so its a bit hard to predict their sm-abilities. itll for sure be interesting to watch tho

ORAS OU: nedor vs Eternal Spirit gama will show his amazing oras qualities again after his surprising and beautiful olt run. idk how nervous nedor will be so im giving ES the edge here

ORAS OU: Poek97 vs aim poek showed his skills like 2 months ago so he definitly has the momentum but im sure joey will find some kind of cteam which will make it hard for poek. hyped for this 1

ORAS OU: TheThorn vs xray my german friendo has proven how solid he is in oras and im doubting very much that he will give this one away

ORAS OU: High Impulse vs Enki i actually havent seen those 2 play lately but i remember high impulse playing great last time i saw him so yeah.

ORAS OU: Trosko vs Posho posho has shown how good he is now prove it in spl buddy


many vs here but i think thats unavoidable when a new meta is released

i expect good matchas :)

SM LC: mad0ka vs OP - as much as I love madoka I can see OP taking this one(2)
SM LC: Star vs zf - Already played
SM LC: Heysup vs Fatty -Heysup is the GOAT
SM LC: Corporal Levi vs ZoroDark - I just feel Levi is better
SM LC: Ice tea vs Sken - Speaks Spanish, so he is good to go
 
BW OU: jayde vs McMeghan - I love mcm builds, and even though alot of ppl say hes just gonna bring dumb teams and isn't gonna try, all his dumb builds always have a purpose which i absolutely love. Also mcm is mcm hes gonna play well hehe.

BW OU: Soulwind vs Tokyo Tom - Ryanaka has been training up on the Himalayas of Canada to nurture his competitive spirit and become the best there ever was. Also even though he's not treated seriously and only really considered a memer, hes a great fucking bw player. He's had a lot of momentum from the BW laddering tournament and has been playing and counter-picking extremely well the last few months. I expect cool teams from the two obviously and Soulwind is still a person to fear and can easily win .lol

BW OU: Jirachee vs Shoka - Shoka is actually one of my favorite players to watch and though fsr Finch ranked him really low on the rankings this year he's definitely a beast and I think he's in solid playing performance (considering hes been practicing on smogtours whenever hes on)and solid team-building (basically invented the modern offensive landorus). I again expect dope ass teams from both since Jirachee is a solid contender too.

BW OU: dice vs Finchinator - Even though Finch probably has been preparing since being an embryo for every fight hes in, I don't think tryhardness through preparation is suitable when against a player like dice. dice in my opinion probably one of the best builders in the modern bw meta. He uses a bunch of diff styles that almost always cover a majority of threats and in my opinion the superior player to finch.

ALSO LGI RUINERS
 
highlights (stealing nails' prediction format) (these are the best posts in spl everyone should do them)
SM OU: mencemeat 45-55 FlamingVictini a matchup of Strength but predicting against subcm cobalion would be nutty. will be very close though, the teams will be great
SM OU: njnp 60-40 IAmGingy uhhhhh Well the teams will be Interesting if nothing else, think njnp's playing is a bit better but gingy is dangerous
ORAS OU: Poek97 55-45 aim been a while since joey played some Serious ORAS which is why poek has the slight advantage since he's in form but playing wise I'd say they're pretty close to equal so this will be tight, hope to see some good teams too
BW2 OU: SoulWind 65-35 Tokyo Tom tt is good and could potentially snag a surprise win with the right team/set choice but if sw keeps his head in the game it's hard to predict against him
DPP OU: Atticus 75-25 Void might be a little +spatk -sdef to put such high Odds on mr. finch when he's been out of the game for so long but there's a reason he's one of the goats, now's the time for void to show his stuff
ADV OU: Fakes 40-60 Astamatitos how can you go against this greek fuck on his home turf, fakes is fantastic and can definitely take it but asta isn't #1 on those rankings for nothing
GSC OU: Colchonero 50-50 Fear I'll be watching this eagerly, if colch's team does damage he'll be hard to face for sure but fear is no slouch
RBY OU: Peasounay 45-55 Nails hard to predict against peas who is super solid and I may be A Little Biased but I have a feeling nick nalomomola will put in a strong performance feat. lapras and fblast tauros

SM OU: Hector Hard Mode 35-65 Sweepage think he was the first I saw using ssss mence, sweep was extremely dangerous at the beginning of xy so I think he'll be similarly potent here. it'll be a tough first test for hhm who I hear nothing but good things about
ORAS OU: TheThorn 40-60 xray thorn is good but xray's got something to prove, I'd be very scared of him rn. definitely a battle to watch out for
BW OU: Jirachee 60-40 Shoka unexpected sets will be key here, shoka is v good but I think canadaphil's army of rotom-w and caterpie definitely has what it takes to overcome
DPP OU: Philip7086 55-45 Sauga this is about as old guard vs. new guard as you can get, love it, especially since both are creative nearly to a fault (definitely to a fault for phil, I recommend metagross with a move to damage tyranitar with). phil's definitely got the tournament advantage which is most of the reason I gave the predict to him but I know firsthand how good a7x is and if there are no nerves for him then it will be an extremely good battle, I very much look forward to it
ADV OU: Ojama 50-50 Triangles this will be extremely close should tri keep his head in the game and roll out with a solid team. those are always important but they are especially crucial to have vs someone as solid as bast. gonna come down to the wire if he does
GSC OU: Mr.378 53-47 Mr.E I like a good underdog, mre is no pushover though it'll be very close

SM OU: Adam 40-60 blunder not sure how much sm adam has been playing (I assume quite a bit or he wouldn't have signed up) but blunder's been in the zone for a while and he's got teams from A Big Racist. that said yusuke was a feared name back in the day when he dominated people with stall so I expect it to be a solid bout
SM OU: Eo Ut Mortus 60-40 Geemick didn't know geemick had been playing sm, he was extremely good at oras but eo has been been pretty strong at sm from day 1. interesting bout for sure, geemick's style can definitely annoy eo's
ORAS OU: High Impulse 65-35 Enki amir brings really strong teams and plays well, I've seen some good things from enki but he'll have to step up his play big time here
BW OU: Reymedy 70-30 Vinc2612 about time reymedy was placed here, vinc is really good but rey is absolutely terrifying in bw. his spl 6 game against evuelf sticks in my mind to this day. would not wanna face him, ever
DPP OU: 6A9 Ace Matador 60-40 Smurf. good matchup but ams jirachi tends to be really strong
ADV OU: Danilo 50-50 Golden Sun the two overused boys, bring your enthusiasm back. I expect camerupt from nilo and cbgross + zap from gs

SM OU: dragonuser 40-60 Ciele du has been making a lot of teams and playing but it doesnt get more solid than cl, varun can defo upset of course but not if the shaymin enthusiast is locked in
SM Ubers: Lord Outrage 50-50 Level 56 despite the loss to eevee pass in seasonal I think l56 is still one of the guys to beat, it's time for outrage to show his stuff on the big stage and I can't wait to see it
ORAS OU: Trosko 40-60 Posho trosko is good and makes strong teams but posho has a bit of a playing edge I think, regardless this should be fuego
BW2 OU: dice 55-45 Finchinator quint's been making extremely strong teams for several months now. as long as he doesn't bring one of the more gimmicky ones, he'll be fine in that department. I think he has the awareness necessary to both bring the right squad and handle finch's aggressive playstyle. that said finch defo isn't going down without a hell of a fight and doubtless some cool stuff of his own. looking forward to both the teams and the plays
DPP OU: ToF 60-40 Porengan tof plays a lot more aggressively and I think that will net him an early advantage over porengan, who'll make a comeback attempt but it'll be too much to overcome. rocka's gotta bring something good and get back in his old groove right from the beginning. pretty high hopes for this one
ADV OU: undisputed 52-48 dekzeh think undis will want revenge after the last few games he's had with dek and step his game up, will be a good battle for sure. dek isn't as enthusiastic about advance rn but I'm sure he still has something cool up his sleeve (solrock?!)
GSC OU: Veteran In Love 55-45 d0nut when vil is on it's pretty scary but I think donut knows what he has to do to defend against his more dangerous tactics
RBY OU: The_Chaser 45-55 Alexander. alex plays like a beast and knows all the current trends to abuse, he's had a hell of a streak going on for a while now. that said chaser was very solid last year so it'll be an interesting fight. think alex's zapdos will prevail though

LET'S GET IT RAIDERS

SM Ubers: Lord Outrage vs Level 56 - this is far and away the highlight series of week 1 and should be one of the best games in the entire tournament, cheering for both and it could go either way

glhf all playing, let the salt commence
