[Matame]

[Jrdn]

I'm not as salty as I've been in the past. But at times like these, I remember all the other times I lose to hax in tours like these and wonder why I still play. Every tour that matters ends up like this

Predankts
Again, I'm bad and my predictions are bad, spheal with it

Hide

Lax vs Empo
Wando vs Salvation
Fairy MMM vs aesf
cuzzie vs wishes
WhiteLion vs HunterStorm - Whitelion's gotta be feeling good about that solid play last round while hunter may be annoyed about only winning on activity, but even so I think hunter's simply a better player
double switches vs Oshawott Fan
DontStealMyPenguin vs Thimo - thimo memeo, but I think at some point the memes stop working and you lose. I'm almost certainly wrong on this one, but you gotta call it at some point.
Yuga42 vs Melle2402
slurmz vs Catalystic
DonnotheFirst vs iLlama
Confluxx vs Bluxio
LordofTurnips vs highlighter
Jordn vs Matame - wrong even tho it already happened, rip me
Vid vs Qplaz
RedPanda2577 vs Clearly
Torpid vs [Winner of: Synoptic vs Gunner Rohan]

Lax vs Empo - his name seems familiar
Wando vs Salvation
Fairy MMM vs aesf - both are my hommies but mm plays ag :/
cuzzie vs wishes
WhiteLion vs HunterStorm - the moment when ur up against ur team supplier >.<
double switches vs Oshawott Fan
DontStealMyPenguin vs Thimo - Thimo might be considered the best ag player, but if its a hax-less game, im pretty sure penguin call pull it off
Yuga42 vs Melle2402
slurmz vs Catalystic
DonnotheFirst vs iLlama - dont know.
Confluxx vs Bluxio
LordofTurnips vs highlighter
Jordn vs Matame - biggest favourite for omgs..its quite obv whos gonna win this
Vid vs Qplaz
RedPanda2577 vs Clearly

[Pigeons]

Won in 3 extremely haxy games. Not at all happy with the way I played, this was definitely an undeserved win. Sorry to my opp, well played on your part.

[Melle2402]

Should win 3-0 and lost 1-2. I missed like 8 leech seeds, 10 toxics, got critted, or got drops. Didnt matter how well I played I had no chance to win this and its really frustrating bc I played the series a lot better.
Not my opponents fault, so ggs to him

 

[Bluxio]

Lost to confluxx in three.

Sucks that I couldn't make it further but this tour was literally the first time ever playing ag so getting to round 3 is fine for now. Keep an eye out for me in ag tours in the future this tier is pretty fun.

Gg Confluxx

 

[Fairy MMM]

Won vs aesf in 3 well disputed games, ggs
